Selling to a high-end home buyer requires a different strategy when it comes to staging a luxury home. Here are some tips from leading luxury real estate stagers across the country that make sense for anyone selling their high-end home in Napa or Sonoma Valleys:
1.) ORIGINAL ARTWORK:
Nothing says luxury like original artwork. Home sellers can lease pieces directly from galleries that will give the listing a certain impact with potential buyers.
2.) FABRICS, FINISHES AND LINENS:
Make sure your home is decked out in rich fabrics and luxurious bedding. Think high quality linens on the beds, plush Egyptian cotton towels and robes, and fresh smelling spa products in the bathrooms.
3.) SPOTLESS GARAGE:
Luxury homebuyers want the proper space for their luxury cars. Make sure the walls and ceiling are freshly painted, the floor is sealed and everything is put away neatly.
4.) INCORPORATE CULTURE:
This is easily accomplished through the placement of musical instruments. A baby grand in the main room, violins or saxophones expertly situated in other rooms, create that air of culture luxury buyers are searching for.
5.) HIGHLIGHT THE LIFESTYLE:
While it is recommended that sellers take down any personal photos, stagers of luxury homes say a select few vacation photos can add a personal touch. You don’t want to have family members in the photos, just some beautiful location shots.
6.) NON-MATCHING FURNITURE:
While you always want to make sure your furniture pieces complement each other, professional designers rarely decorate in sets. Instead, use integrated materials and styles that blend to create a cohesive space.
7.) OUTDOOR SPACES AND VIEWS:
Experts say luxury homebuyers aren’t just buying a space; they are purchasing a lifestyle. Buyers perceive value in two ways—location and size. Show off impressive views and utilize light colors to make your space appear even larger.

Finding the Best Collin County Realtor (2)
Written by Jane Clark on . Posted in marketing.
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Realtor”? Do you think only of dry statistics like commission rates and closing costs, or do you see the exceptional value of the help and experience a truly Professional Realtor will offer you?
I wonder sometimes if it isn’t more helpful to think of your Realtor as a co-investor in the sale of your property because a good realtor adds and provides services that enhance the value and saleability of your property. Our relationship with you is so much more than that of a mere commissioned salesperson. Frankly, I am a co-investor and business partner of every client we serve. So what is it that Makes the Best Collin County Realtor for Your Needs? It is the experience of a proven successful Realtor that turns us into one of the greatest assets you’ll ever use.

While Jane has been a major part of the Collin County Real Estate scene for over 20 years, it was not, however, where she originally began her professional career. Growing up as the youngest daughter of Laila Swenson, a well-known Danish swimmer, water ballet star, and movie actress, Jane learned from an early age to interact with the public. When Hollywood came to Cypress Gardens for some of the first Esther Williams movies, Jane was a shoo-in as a cute little pollywog paling around with the likes of Joey Bishop, Fernando Lamas, and Esther Williams. Her gregarious outgoing personality even earned her a spot on Fernando Lamas's lap as he serenaded his lovely co-star, It was clear from an early age that Jane's outgoing gregarious personality was her major asset. So, when she graduated college, it is no surprise that her early career began with retail sales positions in Denmark and the US, When she started her career in Real Estate Jane Jane knew from her early retail training that she was in the service business and that the most valuable asset she could offer her clients was her time, experience, and knowledge. Jane wanted to provide a level of service to her clients that would redefine "Customer Service". Keller Williams was the ideal home brokerage for Jane. KW recognizes that there is no such thing as a cookie-cutter Real Estate Transaction. They provide exceptional training, but they also allow exceptional freedom to guide our clients as we see fit.
Jane applied her early experiences well and soon earned a reputation for hard work, strong negotiation skills, and exceptional results. Her early teachers were some of the Best Collin County Realtors in those early days.
