The Art of Selling

the-art-of-selling-0011Recently U&I had the pleasure of joining a local team of Artists and Realtors to get a home ready for the market.

U&I entered in with Judy Boone Realty, Judy Boone and Rob Principe, and the Homeowner to get the home ready for market. U&I discussed curb appeal with the Owners and with assistance from Man vs. Tree, Matt we were able to create a beautiful backdrop for the home. U&I worked with the homeowners to get things packed and stored before we came in and Staged the property. We worked for several days setting up the home and I must say the homeowners were gem clients. Motivated and ready….a stagers dream.

Judy Boone introduced in several local artists, Cathy Dixson, Linda House, Dollner Johnson, and Paul Wineman, Virtual Tour.

I must say it was a pleasure to work with other professionals with the same goal in mind….Sell that house.

Looking forward to our next adventure as a team of the ART OF SELLING.

Staging Consult

Staging Consult yesterday with a wonderful family. They have such beautiful antiques that are going to be sold in an Estate Sale soon to follow. The most important thing is to get the house painted, curb appeal, organized, and staged for the open house….lots of work to do and it’s a great idea to get other professionals involved when you have so much to do. Paying someone to do the painting is a huge worry off of your list and they can get in and get out…while you work storing items that won’t be sold, and organizing the ones that will in another area than the staging area. Taking a home from 1980 to 2012 requires work, so roll up your sleeves and let’s get busy. First chore call painter!
