Somehow I do not think Memorial Day should ever stop!
We always need to remember those who have given it all so we can do what we do.
In my case, help folks find, negotiate for, and buy or sell a home here in Metro Denver.
Last week I mentioned I had no memory of ever doing a contract on this weekend and especially on Memorial Day itself.
Well I sure "talked that into life". Thursday evening got a call, "we have a contract for you". That one did not come together and the buyer did not feel the seller was flexible enough. I guess they just would not come down to where his expectations were.
Then Friday evening I got another call: "we have a contract for you". This one we did come to agreement on after 2-3 back and forths on Monday and hopefully will be able to close in the month.
Finally got another call "we have a contract for you". And on Memorial Day we were trying to get the Seller and the buyer together, but there was too much separation. And interestingly, the Buyer has used the same tactics before, being reasonable up until time for a counter...they will never buy a home as long as they believe there offer MUST be accepted.
So thank you all, 3 contracts, only one deal, on memorial day weekend!

Home Staging… The Art Of Preparing A Home To Sell
A Guest Blog from Pam McCormick, Home Stager and Interior Designer
This can help you make more money when you sell your home!
Hiring a Staging professional is now a vital part of the selling process.
Marketing a property at its best first impression is now recognized as crucial to securing the best price in the shortest amount of time.
Staging will create a warm inviting environment that causes people to connect emotionally to the space. By de-cluttering it eliminates distractions, so buyers can focus on and remember the home and not the stuff. Staging neutralizes the space so that the home can appeal to the widest audience possible. It will highlight the home’s positives and downplay the negatives.
In an April 2006 AOL Money and Finance poll of over 15,000 people, 87% said that home presentation makes the difference in most sales.
The Master Bedroom is the most private room in the house, but when you are selling your home it becomes public and it should be well staged to look like a retreat for two. It needs to look like a relaxing bedroom and not a multi-function room. The buyers will get a different message if they see exercise equipment or work-related items such as a computer and reference materials.
The bed is not always the focal point. Look at the room and see if there is something you want to sell such as a view or maybe an adjoining deck. Then position the bed so it draws attention to the focal point. Keep the colors neutral and use bedding that conveys luxury and softness. Use lots of pillows and shams on the bed. It should convey a cozy feeling, like you can relax and have a good night’s sleep.
