Yatter Matters

What Was I Thinking?

Greek Days in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood reminded me of the behind the scenes work required to prepare a home making it ready for sale.

Plan and Execute

As a Realtors we offer sound advice in preparing your home for sale. Things such as a thorough cleaning, painting and touch ups, repairs to leaky faucets and possibly some gardening tips and pack are amongst the many areas that we can lend ideas. If budgets allow and the preparation involves more than these basic things, we will suggest the services of a staging company. Their skill sets deliver a complete makeover that will highlight the very best elements of the home usually bringing you more money in a shorter time.

Before Guests Arrive

Unseen by those who visit your home is the great effort of all involved in the production. Invariably, it takes place before the public are invited to view the home. It is intense, involves a team of people and usually happens quickly.

Think Big

Similarly, the physical preparation for a major public event - think 80,000 visitors, happens in a very compressed period of time. Like the home seller, all the hopes and aspirations for a successful event is on everyone’s mind. Getting ready sell means having all the lights on, the house spotless, the beds made, the dog sent to friendto deliver invitations to sample products, services or large scale entertainment, involves a massive effort and true team effort.

Before and After

Here are a couple of pictures of West Broadway at approximately 8:30 in the morning and the passing crowd 4 hours later at 12:30.
