Organise & Declutter your garage for living or selling

Posted on September 5th, 2011 by louise

Tips to organize your garage for selling or living www.pairhomedesign.com

While we still have some Summer left this is a great time to organize your garage especially if your considering selling your home in early Spring, YES! the garage needs to be accessible for potential buyers A. to see that their vehicle will actually fit in the garage and B. buyers need to floor space and see YOUR HOME at its very best if you want TOP DOLLARS, First Impressions count!

If you have a garage that has become a storage room then here are a few tips to get you started. If your selling potential buyers want to see floor space and see that their vehicle will fit in your garage

If it means renting a storage locker short term then give this some consideration. Potential buyers want to feel a sense of spaciousness.

Start by moving out big items from the garage into holding area outside if possible
Get large heavy duty constructor bags and Tupperware boxes sort items as follows:

•a. items to keep b. items to donate c. items to recycle d. undecided!

1. Build good racking to store boxes / tools
2. Heavy duty hooks can be used to hang bicycles, garden toolsClick to show “Garage Storage” result 16
3. Donate, give away and recycle items you do not use or like
4. Create zones 1. Bicycles 2. Garden tools 3. Work tools 4. Paint cans etc
5. Ensure garage door open / closes properly
6. Ensure lights and outlets are in working order

Items that are seasonal or not being used before you move can be boxed, labeled and stored in a storage locker.

Unwanted items can be sold at a garage sale or various websites allow you to advertise “Free Stuff”, sell or give away to friends and family.

Once you have the garage cleared, clean floor thoroughly with a good cleaner, repair any concrete cracks or damages. You can also paint the cement to give a nice clean fresh look.

Finally, Move items you NEED & USE back into the garage ensure boxes are labelled and organize into zones so that you can find items easier.

If you are a friend / family member needs helping de-cluttering Pair Home Design will de-clutter their home & redesign one or more rooms to bring a Fresh and exciting new look all this can be done in a “One Day Redesign Makeover”

Home buyers heading back to Chilliwack

Posted on July 20th, 2011 by louise

This information was Posted in the Chilliwack Sardis Harrison Agassiz Hope Friday July 22nd 2011 Real Estate Weekly.

Home Buyers have jumped back into the Chilliwack real estate housing market, snapping up 230 properties last month and setting the stage for a robust recovery.
June sales in Chilliwack and area were up significantly from the month before and surpassing last June’s 224 sales.
“We are encouraged to see positive growth for the first time this year” said Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) president Mark Anderson.

“Following the recent economic downturn, we are seeing a return to stable market condition s and a continuance of low interest rates”

Andersen added that wile interest rates are expected to end the year slightly higher than now, the Bank of Canada is not showing signs of moving the rates up significantly. With an inventory of more that 1,820 homes on the market, the selection is excellent and the listings represent a wide range of prices.

Of the 230 sales last month, the highest number (37) were homes in the $350,00 - $399,999 range, followed closely by 35 sales in the $400,000 - $499,999 range and also 35 sales on homes in the $300,000-$349,999 price range.
(This compares to Greater Vancouver, where the typical house sold last month for $901,000).

“What that is telling us is that there are great values in move-up homes and new construction” said Anderson. Due to a sluggish Spring sellers are motivated and buyers can get so much more for their buying dollars”.

While home sales typically slow down in the Summer, the CADREB president anticipates that with the better market conditions, Chilliwack and area should fare well over the Summer as families seek out larger newer homes in time for the new school year. Buyers from Greater Vancouver should be delighted, both with the excellent schools in Chilliwack, and the much lower prices.

Benefits of home staging for realtors

Posted on July 17th, 2011 by louise

As a Realtor have you ever wondered how you can reduce your marketing costs? Increase home owner satisfaction? sell your listings in a minimal amount of time? If I’ve caught your attention then read on! Working with a Professional home staging consultant is a strong marketing tool that will set you apart from other Realtors saving you time, energy and money which results in increased income and clients!

Home staging is the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money. Staging techniques focus on improving a property’s appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive investment to purchase.

Some home staging benefits for Realtors
a. Less time on the market - which reduces your marketing costs, less time showing listings and advertising.
b. Show your listing with confidence - A professionally staged home will be clean, tidy and have less clutter which will
attract realtors and potential buyers to view your listing which often results in more offers.
c. Reduces awkward moments - Professional home stagers will address sensitive issues such as cleanliness, pet and or
or food odors and other unpleasant issues that one can find in a home.
d. Reduces conflict - a home staging consultants suggestions to eliminating clutter and personal items in a home
is often taken less personally than when it is suggested by a realtor.
e. Your professional image - You will be known as a realtor whose listings always show at their best which gives
your listing a significant competitive edge over other listings in the area.
f. Added exposure - your listings will attract greater added exposure if your home staging consultant is up on social
media and downloads listing information to their website!
g. Price reduction - This is the last thing a home owner wants to hear when their home is listed. Staging a home
BEFORE it is listed on MLS / Internet will give the home owner / realtor confidence that their “HOME” which is
probably their largest investment will be shown to create a Positive and lasting “First Impression”
h. MLS Pictures: Your internet pictures will create a positive “First Impression” which attracts home owners / other
realtors to contact you to arrange showings

Stylish ensuite renovation

Posted on June 30th, 2011 by louise

We have just completed renovating this en-suite for our client. By Removing the large soaker tub added a sense of spaciousness, rather than leaving the faucets exposed we built a pony wall which gave room for a champagne glass while relaxing in this beautiful tub!
We floated the cabinets and installed my favorite granite counter top called Bianco Andromeda so, so soft and elegant for a bathroom and or kitchen.

In floor heating added along with 12 x 24 tiles installed horizontally which works best for these longer tiles due to edges.
OH and one final note we updated the bathroom windows with energy save glass / insulation from http://www.westeckwindows.com

All successful renovation projects require proper planning to ensure you achieve your desired outcome and keep within your budget. Need a consultation to get design ideas or 3D imaging to view your project before work begins give us a call Fraser valley 1-877-778-7564 or Lower Mainland BC 778-834-7247 http://www.pairhomedesign.com/our_work
