			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-650" src="http://www.wavereviews.com/files/2009/06/love_at_first_sight_by_angeliq-300x291.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="233" />What constitutes &#8220;home&#8221; is a very personal thing &#8230; quite different for everyone. Home might be a place your grandparents lavished you with love &#8230;  or where you grew up under your parents&#8217; watchful eyes &#8230; or where you first lived as a grown-up. For everyone, the idea of &#8220;home&#8221; is quite different &#8230; and rarely consciously expressed.</p>
<p>You walk into an open house and you can appreciate all the amenities &#8230; the coffered ceilings, granite counter-tops, wood floors, huge master suite, double shower. And they attract the rational you. But it&#8217;s the sun streaming through the French doors, or the view of a park, or an inherent sense of sophistication that makes it feel &#8220;just right.&#8221;</p>
<p>Home is either evocative of a place you felt comfortable and loved. Or  representative of how you want to see yourself. You know it when you see it &#8230; but you can&#8217;t always say why. And it&#8217;s that intangible something that makes you say &#8216;wow.&#8221;  It makes you fall in love enough to buy.</p>
<p>A Realtor<sup>®</sup> can and should dress up a home, present it in its best light, market its best features. But in most cases it&#8217;s more about the Realtor<sup>®</sup> taking the time to understand the buyer and match him or her up with the right property than it is about the property itself.</p>
<p>Bottom line &#8230; it&#8217;s often psychology that makes the sale &#8230; not the &#8220;sell.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>You can handle Mike and Bob</em></strong> … two true artists at staging a home for sale. </p>
<p>Now, for those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept, staging a home involves moving furniture, re-hanging pictures, bringing in additional pieces, <strong>creating an environment that shows a home for sale to real advantage</strong>.</p>
<p> It’s the kind of magic that makes a buyer fall in love and generates that <strong>instant purchase impulse</strong>. It can involve changing the energy in a house. Redecorating. Reorienting. And it requires real art, true talent, and very little tact.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where Mike and Bob shine!  They&#8217;re so determined to get your house sold, they&#8217;ll tell you the unvarnished truth about what needs fixing and why.</p>
<p>That level of honesty and talent is why I’ve made their service an option for all my clients. I know all too well that it’s not enough to be a good Real Estate Broker. <strong>I have to go the extra mile, offer that extra service that can make or break a sale. So I do. I use Mike and Bob as part of my team</strong>.</p>
<p>Their staging won’t upstage my efforts or your interests. On the contrary… it’s a value-added option that can make all the difference for all of us!</p>
