They say “third time's the charm” and that’s what the home sellers were thinking when they called for a home staging consultation. After having their home on the market for three years, these Prairie Du Sac WI home staging clients made the wise investment to make home staging the "charm" in selling their home. After receiving a Creative Edge Staging Solutions’ home staging consultation, these Sauk County sellers followed the DIY Action Plan and gave their kitchen a facelift that would emphasize the positives of the dining and cooking space.

Prairie Du Sac Home Stage Dining Room


Working from the colors in the seller's artwork, the kitchen became more warm and inviting; the wood trimmed cabinetry became more pronounced.
Home staging prepared this kitchen so that buyers could envision themselves gathering around the island and enjoying the space that was offered in this Prairie Du Sac home.

When preparing a home for sale it’s important to create a feeling that stirs up emotions within the sellers. Is it possible that during the past three years, home buyers missed out on the potential that this Sauk County kitchen and dining area offered? The answer is most likely.

Home staging plays to the buyer’s emotions just like the background music in retail stores encourages us to shop (and buy). Emotions that say:

“I enjoy sharing my day and breaking bread with my family in this dining area”


“My cabinetry looks modern and my stainless steel appliances are beautiful”


“I love baking chocolate chip cookies in my NEW kitchen”

With this Prairie Du Sac WI home staging the third time charm odds will be in the favor of the home sellers.

When selling your home, don’t miss out on the opportunity to tug on the heartstrings of potential buyers. Professional Home Staging will accomplish this and should be an integral part in marketing your home.

Some time ago a not so famous segment posted on my facebook wall to hurry up and take advantage of the first time buyer tax credit before it expired. I commented that there is no way they can let this program expire in its current form as this is 50% of the already weak market. If you don't think this market is weak your nutso and if you don't admit it your a liar. Anyway about a year ago this month I had been a part of an article for the Milwaukee Journal regarding the market and how soft it was last year. In the area I had been working ( Wisconsin Dells Real Estate, Lake Delton Real Estate, and the surrounding areas) most of the transactions that were taking place were either cash sales, short sales, or foreclosure sales. I would say that was the largest segment of the market at about 30% of the closing sales. Today I am no longer active in selling properties, I cannot properly work for a seller while the market, the government, and the banks all work for the buyer. That is another story all together. I did, however read a post that suggested that over 50% of the sales are either short, or forclosure sales. So technically speaking if you take the cross section of that 50% you get to see pretty clearly a number of things.
The first thing I see in this market is that if the largest section of the market is distressed then you have to ask " who buys distressed properties?" , and the answer is first time buyers...Investors looking to buy rental properties..and a very small percent will be upgrading their homes.
So if you think the fed would allow the largest section of the market to just vanish along with their borrow from Peter to pay Paul program, once again I think your nutso.

There is one segment that continues to be steady, stable, and pretty much neutral in terms of value. Recreational property, yes land and farms are still chugging along at their own pace. This segment will outshine other areas in real estate due to its unique position. You can hunt on a wooded parcel, camp, and do a lot of things other than pray for your investment dollars to explode. So to make a long story short, I told ya so and I will do it again very soon.

I can't believe what is happening to us in this country. I love America don't get me wrong. Something has got to give in this economy or we are all in trouble. I mean these companies have been ripping us off for years and no one seems to mind....I beg to differ. WE DO MIND and its about time we all do the right thing and that is to let them die. Lets make room for new companies by shredding our economy and weeding out the horses asses who have been stealing from us and have gotten us into this mess to begin with.
The same can be said for local organizations as well. You know the ones who try to control the businesses by threats and actions which are anti competition. Banks which are anti competiton in our area threaten us all by attempting to control businesses by revoking or foreclosing on assets they chose to. Real Estate firms and other companies fall into this catagory as well. If you have ever had to pay a "transaction fee" and didn't get an exact answer as to what that fee is for, that firm is breaking the law. Those folks with the orange signs have done this repeatedly costing local home buyers and sellers hundreds of thousands of dollars. These businesses are not friends of the community just as our large banks and insurance companies are not friends to our country. If we stand for bailing them out we only complicate the issues by allowing them to control our countries financial systems and further draining us all with their greed and bad will.
STOP THEM BY WRITING TO YOUR state representitives and take action by putting your money someplace other than wall street.
I reccomend the purchase of LAND! There not making any more of it which makes for constant demand, stabilizing the value. Your not going to get rich buying land in the short term, however, you will not lose your ass in the next few months either.
These are strong words, and right now this country needs strength to stand up against greed and corperate thugs who really just want your money!
