Sell your Las Vegas home Archives

We have decided to sell our home. What comes next?

Once the decision is made to sell your home, the big question is – what now? Most homeowner’s are interviewing two or three Realtors to potentially list their home. I would say that I get hired because of the answer to their first question: “what do you want us to do?’ I have a reputation for breaking records in communities and I think its a direct reflection of how we present and market the house. How to Prepare The Edit – What does your family value and what is important? You will need to go through each room and closet.

Las Vegas Housing Prices Remain Stable but Inventory Low

Las Vegas housing prices held steady in January at a median of $345,000, which broke the record in November and remained unchanged in December.

The current lack of inventory makes it difficult for both realtors and home buyers. Every time you go try to show a listing

My Biggest Staging Project Yet – Before & After

Presenting my biggest staging and remodeling project to date. We were getting this home ready to list for sale. Since this project was in Florida, we enlisted 3 realtors to interview, get feedback and ask what they would list it for. They all came back in the low $600,000’s and if you know me, I was bound and determined to break a record. This home hadn’t been updated since the early 2000’s with golds, reds, browns and lots of Tommy Bahama-type accessories. It was a no-brainer to go with the “coastal” look since we were actually on the beach.

The Importance of Lighting

Lighting Is one of the most important elements that transform a room into a seamless combination of functionality and style.
