About Sarpy County, NE

La Vista Days will begin Thursday and run through Sunday. This is a celebration that brings back fond childhood memories of living close to a small town. There was the parade we attended. We wandered by the many display booths while eating cotton candy. And, we eagerly awaited the pet contest. Amid much fanfare and fun, we watched as blue ribbons were awarded to the fattest cat, the blackest cat, and the whitest cat --- the only three cats in the contest!!

As many of you know I am a fervent believer in professional staging. I truly believe that staging a home is an effective internet strategy. Studies show that close to 85% of home buyers begin their search online. Staging a home is critical to give the best impression of the home not only in person but also online.

Here is a home that was professionally staged with Tori Ross of Ross Designs. The home was vacant and the seller took my advice and RENTED furniture. This seller had previously listed the home TWICE with the same broker for a total market time of 392 days on the market. Before listing the home this spring the seller interviewed several agents and selected an agent based on who had the best marketing plan. As a result of professional staging this home went under contract in 10 days!

After

If you are considering selling your home be sure to interview several agents from several companies. Base your decision on which agent has the BEST marketing plan. Do not make the mistake of selecting your agent on

• 1) lowest commission
• 2) size of the company
• 3) which agent has the highest listing price.
