I love Staging!
Staging is one of the major things I think should be done in this day and age when you are selling a house in this market. I want all my listings to be cleaned and Staged! A buyer needs to be able to come into a house and feel comfortable with the surroundings! I was in a house the other day that for the most part had some drop dead gorgeous Staging through out, but there were a couple VERY STRANGE things and I had to share!
Dried beans and waxy candle leaves.....
This first picture would have actually been a fine place setting - even with the dried beans, but there is a CANDLE in the middle of all of the bowls - very strange decision in my opinion, but I haven't been through a professional staging class yet. I don't think I need to go through a class to know I don't like it - what do you think?
OK...next:
Honestly, I have no idea what these are. They look like a sstrange combination of garlic and cotton, or some kind of sea creature. Up close, they are clusters of fake garlic as far as I can tell..but, why???? Fake garlic on a stick... and there were six of them...in the living room!
I am not a snob! The rest of the house was very well done. I just love sharing some of the weird things I find from day to day...

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.
