A Great Resource For You
 
Click here to download your copy of "The Home Staging Fact Sheet." 
 
Add it to your listing presentation and share it with clients to help them better understand the real ROI that home staging provides.
 
Oh and by the way...I am never too busy for your referrals.
 

Summer is here - at last!  That means it's time to reflect the light and bright of the season in our real estate listings.
 
Punch It Up
Bold colors against darker backdrops can really create drama and impact in a listing photo.  When the architecture is right, don't be afraid to add a little zing to tabletops - as we did here.  This looks great online.
 
 Examples:    
  
Red glassware & patterned dishes add drama
Red Dining Room
 
Mix Dark and Bright 
Using a subdued color on a side chair can work, once you pair it with colorful pillows, artwork and seasonal accessories.  We had fun here jazzing up a mid-century modern family room with animal print chairs and summer color.

Add The Unexpected
In a sea of properties, yours needs to stand out.  What better way to create a memorable impression than by adding this luscious cake and "fresh" berries.  Our faux food fools even the most discerning eye!   
 
Tempting treats inspire buyers to remember your home!
Strawberry Cake
 
IMPORTANT:  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) says that 92% of all homebuyers shop online for their next home.  We believe strong online photos have never been more important.
 
Let us create eye-catching images that sell your next listing!

A Note From Patty
Let's Talk!   
 
You may not know that I graduated from college with a triple major of theatre, speech and secondary education.  That training makes me a very effective presenter and helps me in my business every day.
 
I'd love to talk to your office.  Ten minutes to a half hour or more; tell me what you need, and I'll deliver a fun and informative presentation. 
Call me today!  206.910.9314.
 
With sincere thanks,
