<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was tickled to see my favorite color appearing on furniture, accents and well, all around at the Las Vegas Furniture Market in January. So, when the February <a href="http://catalog.zgallerie.com/color-full/page/1" target="_blank">ZGallerie catalog </a>arrived in my mail box the other day, I knew it was the green light to share how predictions pink returning to interior design, can be incorporated when Staging a property for sale. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been in love with pink since I was very small. It's a complex color with many personalities: mysterious and elegant, bold and distracting, playful and young. It's entirely feminine and strong no matter it's hue. It can also add a layer of warmth and softness in a space that might otherwise be cold and unwelcoming.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, if your considering selling in the next few years (or you've just had a break up and you are determined to be single for the rest of your life) do not run out and buy a new sofa in blush. This trend will not be around forever and you don't want to get stuck with an investment piece you hate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We find ourselves watching Cinderella, the Biggest Loser or even Extreme Makeover, because we know there is huge potential and it gives us a vision for greater things. When my clients purchased this property it was less than a happy house. But they saw a beautiful happy family home and bought it anyway!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They needed help with color and finish selections, and wanted an expert to support them as they made the house their own. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, a few years and quite a renovation later, they are leaving the area and this great house will soon be on the Market. We're sad to see them leave, but COMPLETELY delighted for the new and exciting season in their lives! This gorgeous Martin's Additions family home has been completed expanded including TWO laundry rooms, fully finished basement and my favorite of course, and amazing wine cellar. Seriously. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a chance to own a move in ready home, in a fantastic neighborhood with total walk ability and so much more. It won't actually be listed until later this month, but I guarantee it won't be available for long.</span><br />

<div style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Congrats! </span></div>
<div style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You're about to embark on a new adventure in life. But first, you need to sell your current house. Before you let a bunch of real-estate-hungry strangers into your closet, make sure you do these five crucial things that many sellers totally forget. </span></div>
<div style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You’ll thank me when you get that over asking price all-cash offer. (Hey, a girl can dream!)</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Hire a Home Inspector.</span></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #181818;">Particularly<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> if you've lived in the property for 4 years or more. An inspector will be able to identify any hidden trouble areas </span>that might scare off potential buyers and you'll be able to make repairs before Open Houses begin. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #181818;">There's nothing worse than a contract falling out due to the home inspection. </span></span><br />
<div style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Hire a Professional Stager.</b></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having a objective third party preview the house before potential buyers do is like having a dress rehearsal before the big show. This is particularly important if you plan on living in the property while it's listed because you are no longer objective about the spaces you see everyday. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A Professional Stager will be able to identify areas that could keep your house on the market longer than it needs to be if not addressed. He or she will be able to recommend fixes to curb appeal, furniture arrangements, over personalization and bring your property close to model home perfect. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>3. Edit, Edit, Edit.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In other words, declutter, pare down, donate, organize. I can't stress this enough. The more you can get rid of the better: off season clothes, sports and exercise equipment, kitchen appliances, holiday decorations, musical instruments you're hoping that, buts let's face it, your kids are never going to play again. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I tell my clients to set the goal of being able to the floor (preferably in it's entirety) of every closet in the house. EVERY CLOSET. This will immediately make a house feel bigger. If you must, rent a storage unit temporarily.</span><br />
<b style="color: #181818; font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">4. Depersonalize.</b><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">How can potential buyers imagine themselves living in the space if they are staring into the framed faces of your adorable children, your wedding photos, college degrees, political or religious affiliations, latest family vacation, monogram painted above your bed or Bennie Baby collection anywhere within site? See #3 if you have any other questions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Remember that you want potential buyers to connect with the space. The faster they connect, the higher the potential for them to make an offer even if they later find things they may want to change. </span><br />
<b style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. This includes anything pet - related.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">So Jack, the turtle, </span>Iguana<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">, snake, hamster, rabbit, cat or even dog should be relocated offsite as much as possible. </span></span></span><span style="color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While some buyers won't mind him, others will be super grossed out by evidence of animals (and may even assume that the floors or carpeting has been damaged). Remove all pet food, toys and litter from sight, and take Jack on a little vacation for the duration.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">This will also help the house stay cleaner and smell better all the time.</span><br />
<b style="color: #181818; font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">6. Wash the windows </b><span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"I'm looking for a cave like house that gets very little light," said no one ever. ever. Make sure your windows are working for you by letting in as much natural light as possible. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having them professionally cleaned just before pictures and the open house will make them appear newer and higher quality, too. </span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Even if they secretly predate the Reagan administration.)</span><br />
<b style="color: #181818; font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Leave </b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This might seem obvious, but when it comes time for open houses and showings, GET OUT! Your realtor can do a much better job than you would showing potential buyers around. Remember, you selected your Agent because they are the professional, and you trust them to do their job.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.55em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; width: 618.796875px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.55em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; width: 604px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Worse than having family pictures on the wall, potential buyers will be immediately put off if the current inhabitants are in "Their Home". <b> So just go.</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It may seem like a lot of work to get your property to sell, but when your house gets multiple offers the weekend of the first open house, it will have been well worth the time and effort. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here are three steps to keep once of the easiest closets, the linen closet, tidy at all times. Hint: this works whether you are selling or living in your property. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>EDIT</b> bed and bath linens down to two sets the number of beds or people in the house: one in use and one alternate. Donate or demote all the others to pet use or cleaning rags. This is particularly important if any of them are more than 5 years old - You know you have some! If you are the average home owner you have way more towels sheet sets than you could use in a year and not wash. This will immediately free up valuable space.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>FOLD</b> remaining linens uniformly so that they stack neatly and all in the same direction. Think bedding and bath store shelves. Stay tuned for a towel and sheet-folding tutorial that is so SUPER EASY you can teach the kids to do it. In fact you should!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>STORE</b> personal care and other essential products in matching market baskets. I like these <a href="http://www.target.com/p/bath-basket-threshold/-/A-16740857" target="_blank">Threshold brand</a> from Target. Limit the contents of each basket to only what can fit without overflowing it. At our house we have 5 baskets: Mini me, Me, First Aid, Sick Basket and Travel Size. The insides of the baskets do not need to be organized, but each bask should only contain relevant NON-expired and personal products. Putting a label or tag on each allows for easy identification. </span></li>

What's great about this line and all of MGBWHome offerings is it's ability to adapt and "glam up" a multitude of styles you likely already have. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And with an introductory savings of 15% off thru 02/28, why not refresh your spaces before you sell? you'll certainly love them in the next house as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you happen to be in the Metro DC area, visit Patrick at the <a href="http://www.mgbwhome.com/washingtondc.aspx" target="_blank">beautiful showroom on 14th St,</a> NW and tell them I sent you~ LOVE IT!!</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">If you follow Real Estate trends you know that Millennials are the largest demographic currently dominating the housing market. Bobby Berk, Designer and CEO of Berk Homes designed homes with what Millennials want the most: Adaptable floor plans, smart tech capabilities, lots of eco-friendly elements, but most of all spaces that don't look Cookie Cutter. AND they are looking for customizable options that are also affordable. These homes, recently featured in <a href="http://domino.com/houses-for-millennials" target="_blank">Domino</a> and showcased at the International Builder show were a show stopper! </span></div>

With our help, he's taking down walls, redesigning the kitchen, painting and basically </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">transforming this property into a beautiful open and updated space that is sure to sell quickly!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">During one of our recent appointments he brought me to the newly expanded and reconfigured wife's closet that he had thoughts of just leaving empty. Literally, not even a bar, so the new owner could configure the closet of her dreams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our conversation reminded me of some of the qualities that make an enviable closet, beginning with, in the words of </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Carrie Bradshaw "Double Doors".</span><br />
