 So I'm here at one of my new listings before we go live on the MLS. I'm going to stage it and I wanted to kind of walk you through the process so as my trunk pops open I'm going to start taking everything in and you can see the before and after transformation. Now this is going to be a super easy house for me to do. She has it amazingly decorated and maintained so it's going to be an easy stage for me but nonetheless I want to show you the process so come on and check it out. I'm just going to start carrying stuff in. The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to take an inventory of the house check out the rooms that need the most touching up and they're going to have the first impression and see what I have to work with. Now I know coming in everybody's going to come in this front door so this is going to be the shot the very first impression that everybody sees so this is going to be the most important view so I'm going to focus mostly here on the kitchen and in the bathrooms so come on check it out. Yes we are robbing Peter to pay Paul. We are taking nails from the trim so we can hang a couple paintings. When I'm hanging stuff I always stagger it for multiple reasons. Number one I can't ever hang anything straight. Number two I aesthetically like things unbalanced so unless it's a symmetrical thing then I then it bothers me. This might be a little price right there two nine and nine. I like it because it looks like it's a leather. Little stuff that you never use around your house like who really uses a mullet or whatever you call these things and just anything that I can find I throw it together and just move around that way if it gets lost left behind broken I don't feel too bad about it but they're still pretty. Michaels is the best place in my opinion to get silk flowers I like using these in the bathrooms so this is where I'm going to put this in the master bath as a bathroom rug it adds some texture keeps things from being too sterile it's fuzzy everybody likes fuzzy stuff. This master bathroom here is pretty cool it's got a whirlpool tub it's got a walk-in shower you can do all this stuff at home see these little things you can buy it like big lots for like two dollars I don't ever unwind them and use them I just leave them sit out they're a very easy thing to stage which dress your house up if you're going to have a party or just getting ready to sell it on your own because everything I'm doing here you can do yourself just take some tips that um you know if you have any questions ask me I'm glad to help you but just kind of wing it and make it up as I go so see it's just these little tiny details just kind of take it over to the next level she already has a great shower curtain in here and it already has a lot of appeal the only thing I didn't I don't have that I hope to bring is maybe some hand towels to put here and maybe a garbage can but pretty easy to do even though you normally wouldn't have an old-fashioned telephone replica in your house little unique pieces like this just help distract the eye and move you around the space that's why I'm using things like that usually when you see me decorate I'll either use one single item or they'll be set of three or five but I like odd numbers as well so when you're getting your house prepared for the market a lot of times what I do is I go over with the homeowner some little trim things that need to be taken and they're going to go through and they're going to put all the proper lights switches and trim out all the different outlets but those are things to know to get your house ready for going on the market little stuff like that just tie those up at the end this one's cool and sometimes you get stuff you don't end up using there's a bar downstairs too we have to go decorate so before I get too distracted up here I'm going to go down there we'll take a look at it really I'm just trying to warm up the space that's the goal little guys down selling your home tip for sellers if you're all confused of what the word fixture means this is a fixture is bolted to the wall if you don't remove it before we list it it gets to stay with the house so this along with some curtain rods your gas stove there's a whole list of them I can put them below but if it's a fixture it stays with the house so you know what you're doing when you're negotiating just reevaluating everything spatially thanks again for watching and see you next time
