Hello All!

It's the month of hearts and roses! Hope everything is as rosy with you as it is here in the Punta Gorda real estate market! The inventory is still low but more and more homes are being listed and prices are still going in the right direction for the sellers! So if a little piece of paradise is in your future - try to get here for a visit and check out all the wonderful things we have to offer.
Besides Valentine's Day - February brings us Ground Hog Day, Lame Duck Day and Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day (!) both of which seem rather apropos given the amount of election media we're seeing these days. Hope your winter stays mild!
Be safe!

The Ultimate Checklist for Staging Your House (So It Sells in Record Time)

Staging your house can make you money. Seventy-one percent of sellers' agents believe a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer, according to the National Association of REALTORS® "2015 Profile of Home Staging."
Before your eyes turn into dollar signs, keep in mind staging isn't guaranteed to get you more money. But it's an important marketing tool to help you compete at the right price.

_______________________________________________

Living Room
  • When placing anything from accent pillows and table lamps, go for symmetry, which is pleasing to the eye.
  • Light it up with lamps. Chic lamps provide both added lighting and appealing decor.
_______________________________________________

Kitchen
  • Clear everything from countertops except one or two decorative items, like a vase of flowers or bowl of fresh fruit.
  • Pack up all the dishes except one attractive, matching set. Do the same with glassware, flatware, and cookware, and pare down all other cupboard and drawer items down to the minimum.
_______________________________________________

Bedrooms
  • Go gender neutral in the master bedroom. Ditch those dainty, floral pillow shams or NASCAR posters.
  • Pack up all but the clothes you're wearing this season to make your closets look larger.
  • Swap out the motley crew of mismatched hangers in your closet for a set of wooden ones to create a classy, boutique look.
  • Put jewelry and other valuables in a safe spot.
