Stressful time at loading time

by Choicelocal

Moving is a stressful time and particularly at loading time. To help the level of stress be at a minimum here are a few suggestions. First & foremost have the driveway plowed and have access to salt for icy patches if you are moving during the winter months. Clear your driveway and sidewalks of any toys, hoses, or anything that may be in the way of the loaders so they can safely move your furniture and boxes onto the truck.

What is Home Staging?

by Choicelocal

You are ready and need to sell your home. You have found a realtor who has assessed a selling price and they are ready to put your home on the market. Their job is to market your home so it will sell for the highest price in the quickest amount of time. At this point your home becomes a product. That product has to compete with a huge inventory of homes, especially because of today’s market. So your home needs to be priced right and look the best among the competition. This is where “home staging” comes into play. So your realtor will enlist the help of a “home stager” that has been accredited by “Accredited Staging Professional (ASP).” The ASP has gone through a rigorous training at the ASP University that was started by Barb Schwarz. Barb Schwarz is the founder & CEO of Stagedhomes.com. She is known worldwide as a leader in the Home Staging business teaching courses at her ASP University where realtors and individuals become accredited to do Home Staging.
