To Stage, or Not To Stage

By |2021-07-21T07:45:24-07:00March 25th, 2016|Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes|

Staged luxury home in Palos Verdes   To stage, or not to stage is the question many sellers grapple with when they make the decision to list their property for sale. Staging is often an upfront cost with no guarantee it will deliver a ready, willing and able buyer. On the other hand, showing a property staged to perfection increases the home's appeal to prospective buyers. Will staging my property enhance the value? Probably not to an appraiser, but the added value of staging a property is frequently returned to the seller in other ways. Most staged homes [...]

By |2021-07-21T07:45:24-07:00March 21st, 2016|Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Seller Tip|

A Cotswold Door--England 2010 As a Palos Verdes real estate agent and broker / owner of Charlemagne Int'l Properties, I spend much of my time opening and closing doors. Sometimes for sellers when showing their property, and sometimes for buyers when showing other agent's listings. Recently, as we waited for buyers to arrive at the final walk-through inspection, a car stopped, and the would-be buyers asked if they could see the house my son was in the process of unlocking. "I'm sorry, it's sold," Josh replied just as our buyers arrived. "Do you have any more?" The disappointed [...]

Palos Verdes, Beach Cities & South Bay Housing Markets

By |2021-07-21T07:45:25-07:00January 7th, 2016|Buyer Tip, Front Page, Palos Verdes|

Josh and I attended the Palos Verdes Board of Realtors' breakfast meeting this morning.  The breakfast was okay, but the speaker, the chief economist for California Association of Realtors,  was excellent. I covered most of the information she shared in my end of the year video message, but some interesting points were:  The 2016 California housing market is projected to be more robust than 2015--good, but not great due to limited inventory and a gradual increase in interest rates. Mortgage rates are projected to stay relatively attractive with only small and slow increases in 2016.  Average rate is projected to be [...]
