Paige is a wonderful realtor! She was very patient with me in my buying process - buying your first condo can be a very stressful time but Paige wasn’t pushy & was always quick to point out things I wouldn’t know to look for. Very trustworthy! Thank you for making my first time buying experience a good one!

Speed Clean Your House
Guests or potential buyers are on their way over and the house isn’t ready! Try these quick suggestions to make your house more presentable in a hurry.
If you have 60 seconds:
Spritz Air Freshener. The scent of citrus, especially lemon, signals "clean." If people think the house smells good, it looks good too.
Close your doors. Closed doors make a house look cleaner, and that’s true whether or not the rooms have been cleaned. A closed door also signals to guests not to enter, so you don’t need to clean those rooms.
Turn off the tube. Studies show that having the television on can psychologically make a house seem messy.
If you have 5 minutes:
Hide the clutter. Gather any out-of-place clothes, papers and toys into a garbage bag or laundry basket, then stash the whole thing out of sight in a closet.
Tidy the bathroom. This is the only room in the house where your guests will have lots of time alone to look around. Be sure to wipe down the sink and faucet.
Pile up pillows. People associate well arranged throw pillows with the spotless homes they see in decorating magazines.
If you have 15 minutes:
Put on a pot. Brew a fresh pot of coffee to offer your guests. The scent of coffee in a kitchen signals warmth and comfort. In fact, real estate agents often use the aroma to make homes sell faster.
Bounce away dust. Forget furniture polish. Just run a fabric softener sheet over tables, bookcases and the TV. The anti-static properties will attract dust and lift it away in no time.
Round up dust bunnies. With no time to vacuum, use a wet paper towel to collar the worst dust offenders you see, usually around chair and table legs.
Each office is independently owned and operated.
