First impressions matter! What does this room need? What would you add or take away? It’s not an inspirational photo of a professionally-designed room I typically post. It’s someone’s real living room. And it serves as a reminder that we can get very biased about our own home and think it’s perfect when, in fact, it may not appeal to others. That’s why when your putting your home on the market, it’s so important to listen to a professional and make small to large tweaks in ...each room so that you make a GREAT first impression to the biggest number of home buyers as possible. I offer complimentary mini staging packages to my clients. I can also provide virtual staging if the situation calls for it. My goal is to make the BEST first impression of the homes I put on the market. I may spend an entire day prior to the photo/video/drone/3D image shoot just getting a property ready for its big reveal. In today’s market, your first open house is the day your house goes live on the MLS and all the syndicated sites. Trust me to advise you on how to get your home camera-ready. Always remember, first impressions matter!

I have lived in the same neighborhood for over 25 years. We moved in just after we got married, and spent countless weekends on DIY projects, including building a shade cover, digging irrigation trenches and planting the front and backyards. A couple years later, we brought our babies home to the same neighborhood, and spent countless hours strolling them up and down the street, watching them play and eventually ride their bikes, walking them to school, and escorting them d...oor to door as they offered to sell their wares to the neighbors. All the while, developing lasting relationships with our fellow homeowners, planning block parties, celebrating holidays, and checking in on each other during unexpected emergencies. Whenever I get to welcome a new family to this great area, I think of all the happiness we have gained from finding this home and being a part of something bigger. Even in trying times, including a pandemic, home is our happy place, which extends beyond the walls of our house. It’s the connection we have to our neighbors and neighborhood, it’s the shared memories, the waking up and going to bed each night in a place that feels good.

Thinking of introducing some financial lessons to your children? Here's some helpful information.

So many great shots from the photoshoot on Friday, it’s hard to pick the first 4 for the listing! First impressions are EVERYTHING! When selling a home, it’s first showing is online. Buyers will know by the first few pictures if they are interested in seeing more, so I always choose those photos carefully. How many times have you seen the first photo of a listing as the front of the home? This just screams to me that the agent has no marketing experience and ...you can bet that the listing will produce less in person showings overall. #firstimpressions #photoshoot #firstimpressionsarekey #firstimpressionsareeverything #realestatetips #realestateinvesting #realestatemarketing #savvyrealestateagent #marketingstrategy #digitalmarketingstrategies #knowyourbuyer #deserthome #indio #indianpalmscountryclub #vacationhome See more

Did you know that you can tour homes for sale virtually? A great way to get the feel of a house is by experiencing a 3D immersive Matterport or dollhouse twin model. If you shop on Redfin, Zillow or Realtor, any listing that has a virtual tour will say so. If it doesn’t, then you should be asking the listing agent why. It’s the best way to give a buyer a safe preview. Check out this one that just so happens to be my newest listing and let me know what you think! https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=a4w5FASYqSq
