Why I’m sharing this empty house. Today I’m s

Why I’m sharing this empty house.

Today I’m sharing a beautifully empty home as it means the end of an era for one family and the beginning of a new chapter for another. As I walked through my listing for the final time this morning, there was quiet calmness throughout the home. This might sound strange, but it’s almost like it was letting me know it’s ready for its new owner.

I don’t take it lightly that it was difficult for this family to say goodbye to their home of many years. As a real estate agent, I have the honor of being welcomed into a client’s space physically, emotionally and financially. They put their trust in me and it’s my job and responsibility to help them achieve their home selling goals. Is it a lot of pressure? For sure. But when there’s mutual trust and respect, it’s always a win-win.

See link.in bio for details of this lovely “sold” home in Magnolia.

This is what I did today to get my listing photo-finish ready...
1) Met the stagers to exchange a few pieces of furniture (the pieces weren’t up to my standards and were too small scale)
2) Steamed the bedding in 2 bedrooms(no wrinkles in the photos!)
3) Changed out a few light bulbs (the fixtures had super bright white bulbs. I always have soft white ones with me)
4) Vacuumed the carpet (it’s new and it had lots of fuzzys all over it)
5) Mopped the hardwood floors (lots of activity this morning so it needed it)
6) Re-arranged a couple decorative pieces in the house (as a former stager, I can’t help myself)
7) Wiped down the counters in the laundry room (lint creates a lot of dust)
8) Moved patio furniture around (so the photographer could get a better shot of the backyard)
9) Swept the patio and front porch (helps prevent open house visitors from tracking in dust)
10) Vacuumed the porch mat (first impressions often start at the front door!)
11) Met the photographer (I like to discuss any special shots I’d like her to take)

I admit I’m picky. I want the my listings to always be picture-perfect so I do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.
Not all realtors will pick up a broom, bring their steamer, a vacuum, a mop, and extra light bulbs. But I like to go the extra mile for all my clients. Will a buyer not buy the house because the porch wasn’t swept? No, but I feel it’s the cumulative effect of doing all the little things that help create that “wow” factor.

If you’re thinking of selling your home and want a (picky) realtor that will roll up her sleeves, push a broom, and do what it takes to get your home ready for market, let’s meet! I just might bring some light💡 with me! 🤭

Has anyone ever tried this?

I call it the hot water trick for hydrangeas! I have done it several times and it works!

If your newly purchased (or freshly cut) hydrangea stems wilt, trim the ends and put hot tap water in the vase (not scalding but warmer than just warm water). They should perk up in 12 hours!

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!
