Some of you may have read a entry on my blog in which I mentioned photographing some exceptional staging work by Sandra Wright with www.wrightchoiceinteriors.com. I have since had the opportunity to work with agent/clients who have engaged Sandra's services for several different listing projects, including a simple consultation with the seller to complete staging services throughout the property. What I admire about Sandra is her firm grasp on staging a house for mass buyer appeal, versus simply redecorating. Sandra knows how to enhance a home's greatest assets and mitigate its weaknesses, and her creativity (even custom designing window treatments and architectural elements) is nothing short of amazing.
Another attribute of note is Sandra's excellent communication skills. She is professional and courteous, able to confidently explain to a seller what needs to be done and she does so with great tact. That's a huge bonus for any listing agent. It takes the agent out of the "hot seat" and addresses items that could impede a sale, and the message is delivered by someone you can trust to be professional and tactful with your client. Sandra actually positions herself as another member of your professional network - enhancing your services, as well as your listing.
I don't write recommendations like this very often, but I am so impressed by Sandra Wright and Wright Interiors I felt compelled to share. Learn more at www.wrightchoiceinteriors.com or call (513) 484-4772.

Homes located in walkable neighborhoods may be more valuable that homes located in car-dependent areas. Higher levels of walkability, determined by its walk score, may be increasing the value of the home. The higher the walk score, the higher the home value. The location of restaurants, schools, libraries, banks and retail shops are some of the amenities which help determine the homes walk score. It is possible that a one-point increase in a walk score could increase the sale value of a home from $700 up to $3000, depending on the market.

Exterior Lighting - It should catch your eye, not blind you. Flashing lights and lawn figures may keep your prospective buyers from seeing the true charm and value of your home. Keep it simple. Simple white lights in moderation can compliment your home and make it feel festive and welcoming.
Christmas Tree - For those with a smaller home, you may want to rethink putting up that tree. Prospective buyers are looking at the amount of space they have to work with. A tree can create the illusion of less space. Natural lighting can create the illusion of more space, so don't block windows with a tree or any large decorations.
Interior Decorations - Leave most of those decoration in the box. Too many knick-knacks, lights and/or displays will distract the prospective buyer. The abundance of decorations can make a room appear smaller and the prospective buyer may spend time judging your displays instead of looking at your home.
Holiday Scents - One of the most popular scents is always Vanilla. Other favorite scents for the holiday season include cinnamon, pumpkin spice and spruce.
After The Holidays - Holiday decoration should be taken down and stored by January. Leaving your directions up for an extended period of time may give the impression that you do not take the time to maintain your home. Rule of thumb: All decoration should be removed within a few days after the holiday
