Staging your home
The first thing I learned about real estate, after the tests , the license and all the paperwork was staging a home correctly. I believe in this market with the buyers being very particular about the home they will buy that staging is more important than ever.

You may have not thought about staging, but I am working with a client right now, a dream client who naturally does everything for her home that a professional stager would do. She lives in Apple Valley On Hopi. You should see here home. Why should you stage? Sells for more. Sells quicker. Sells with less hassle. Makes you feel confident when showing the home. It shows the features by accenting the features more than the clients belonging.

Believe me when you only have 15 seconds to make that first impression and about 4 minutes of a buyer being in the house you want everything working for you.

I endorse and recommend that you spent the extra $1000 to $1500 to get your home staged the way that shows it the best. You won't be sorry you did.

 Pool Magic or Money Pit
I Own the American Dream. A Beautifull pool home. My Wife Marcia said, "Val, this is it." We imagined weekends of fun pool parties, evening swims under starry skies. But I should have looked at the high cost of owning a pool. So....

Right now I am looking at six guys, equipment and a pool that will be like NEW in 4 hours.

I have talked with my fellow Realtors at Exit Desert Ocean Realty about Pools. We have one Realtor who likes to focus on Pool Homes. So In the Victorville, Apple Valley area- the high desert, How important is a pool and the value of the pool in real estate?

I believe I got a fair deal from Blue Horizon Pools. Danny asked me for my business over six months ago. We signed contracts in February and we are finishing up the plaster today. Of course there is the completion of the job with mastic around the pool and getting the pool up and running.

Yes, I added color. Light Blue. Yes, I have tile that needed replacement and cleaning. Yes I have a spa. Yes, I bought this home with a pool for my youngest son. He loves to swim and can't wait. Yes my wife is a first grade school teacher who will have 20 students and parents over in one week because all of her students participated in Accelerated Reader. So Yes a pool, a newer looking pool.

Cost? The quote was just under $6000.

So I talked with an appraiser. How much will this increase the value of my home? Answer: not one penny. It might, if you were selling your home, encourage the sale. But putting $6000 into the pool will not increase the value of the home.

Just as a side note, the pool the way it was would probably add about $6000 to the value. But I can't add 6 and 6 and make 12.

In this case 6 plus 6 makes 6. I think that is new math.



Thanks for reading. Don't Take yourself so seriously
