HOME REMODELING AND STAGING EXPO WAS A HIT
I want to thank all the Vendors and Business that were a part of our Home Remodeling and Staging EXPO this year. The event was great. If you missed it, you can read about it. Or you can contact our vendors for a one on one about their services and what they can do for you.
Some may ask, what is this EXPO? Over the years we have worked with many businesses who have done wonderful work and this is an opportunity for us to share with the public some businesses we have had success with. Everyone wants a referral! They see so many choices and need a little guidance. I look for businesses that offer a good product for a reasonable price. For example, one of our vendors was A-Agents. They are a termite company. I ran into a friend that just had their home treated by a national company. I said, "no." "What did they charge?" A treatment that I know A-Agents would have done for $600-900 was done for $2,000 by this national company. That is why I hold the EXPO. To bring good businesses to my sphere that are reasonably priced.
Another reason is the whole remodeling and staging process. As the Arizona Republic recently stated, "The popularity of television home improvement shows is finally helping Arizonans understand the importance of staging when trying to sell their homes," http://www.azcentral.com/community/westvalley/articles/2008/04/11/20080411gl-nwvstaging0411.html
What I have been telling my clients for some time is "a home has to look good to sell, buyers are very persnickety in this market." Fixing up, doing some inexpensive remodeling or even staging a home is making a difference and worth the investment. At the EXPO, guests are given the opportunity to meet with the businesses that can offer these services. They can ask questions, get some pricing and schedule appointments.
So, maybe you are not moving today. Well, why wait until you are moving to improve your home for the next buyer. Of course this is somewhat dependent on the price range. But so many people install Granite Counters to sell their home. Why not do it today and enjoy that Granite for a few years before selling. Of course this is not limited to Granite, that was the most notable example.
For those who missed the event, we have a few pictures below.
The Cameron Team - Stormy Girard and Lisa Cameron signing in guests and registering them for our raffle. We had AWESOME Door prizes: Teeth whitening, exam and extras; facial; 16 person wine tasting from Wine Styles; $100 Gift Certificate from Caffe Portobello; 2 $25 Gift Certificates from RA Sushi; 2 $25 Gift Cards from Old Republic Home Warranty; 25 moving boxes from Dirks movers; 3 Free Pizzas from Amore Pizza;
Wendy Burckart of The Perfect Set Up, not seen in this picture, staged the Living Room and Dining Room. She did a great job, we were disappointed to see the furniture go.
Gia Venturi Interiors - Gia is an interior decorator. She had samples of how tastefully she can match colors and fabrics. Gia gave Free scented candles to all our guests.
Wine Styles did a wine tasting so the food was focused on what pairs nicely with wine. We had a Cheese and fruit table offering a huge variety of nice cheeses and wonder fresh fruit.
Some of the guests enjoyed the appetizers, cheeses and fruits. Behind them was an array of Sushi from RA Sushi. Also, we made homemade Gazpacho and Jumbo Shrimp cocktail.
Guests viewed our subject home which has been extensively remodeled by Vendors at the event. The guests are walking on 24 inch Travertine floors laid at a diagonal.
Staci McCarville of IndyMac Bank is our Financial connection. She was answer loan questions and offering lists of foreclosure homes for investors.
The Master Bathroom remodel was done by The Concierge. Tricia Endicott is the owner of The Concierge. She does all kinds of Stone Work. From Granite counters to Travertine floors and bathrooms, Tricia does it all.
Europa Artistic Surfaces does an array of exterior hard scape. Their specialty is acrylic flooring. This is the stone like surfaces you see replacing cool deck. Their product is beautiful and priced great. Here they discuss their product with Mike.
There were several Vendors located on the Patio. On the right is Kerri Schrand from Sunburst Pools and Spas. Kerri's people did our water fall and slide. Surburst did our last pool and about 20 pools for our family and clients. They are a small family run business that I highly recommend.
Jorge Azuri with New Image Cleaning was there with his wife and 4 month old baby girl. New Image offers many services. however their specialty is sealing stone surfaces. They just sealed some outside flagstone at one of our listings. The flagstone was looking horrible and chipping all over the place. Jorge came in and made it look better than new! Thank New Image!
Randy Rushing of Peerless Plumbing has helped many of our clients with re piping homes that have polybutelene pipes. At the EXPO Randy explained the nu flow solution they offer. This is focused more on drain pipes. But it works great. Instead of digging up your yard, they do a little angioplasty on your drain pipe and add a stint. That isn't really what they do, but a good example of it. You should talk to Randy before digging up your yard.
Lee Eichmann with Shiloh Floors has been installing carpet and tile for my clients for years. He has a great selection of flooring products including wood. Being a small business he enjoys low overhead and passes on those great prices to his clients.
Sticking with the wine theme, we had a table of Chocolates. If you haven't had red wine and chocolate you are missing out! My wife Lisa, is always after the best. She found a French chocolate called Michel Cluivel. It was wonderful. Chatham's Fine Chocolates donated a selection of chocolates as one of our door prizes.
WineStyles was there offering a selection of wines to taste. They are a small wine club/wine shop located over off 100th Street and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the event and all of the guests who attended.
