Sensible Style – Decorate your home without breaking the bank

There is nothing more rewarding at the end of a long day than coming home to a place that is comfortable, inviting and beautiful.  Unfortunately, when the economy is on a downturn, we often neglect our “personal spaces” as other stresses and pressures usurp our time and energies.  Read more about sensible style.

Newly staged homes

Two new staged homes and two ‘offers pending’ have been added to our listing’s page. These properties meet or exceed Impact’s staging criteria. We are proud to promote them as an example of our best work. We invite prospective buyers to contact our Realtor partners to arrange a viewing of these homes. But don’t wait, we do not expect them to be on the market for long!

We love testimonials!

Dear Darla:

This letter is to thank you for your efforts in preparing Rosa’s home for sale. You took a dark and somewhat dingy abode and turned it into a bright and cheerful home. The transformation was so successful that there were 2 offers within 3 days of the house being listed. One offer was for $5,000 more than the asking price.

The transformation was obvious from the pictures in the listing and some friends who saw the place, remarked that it would not last long before someone snapped it up. Your philosophy of less is more certainly worked, as did your choice of furnishings and décor.

Finally, Rosa and I appreciate the fact that you accomplished this while coming in under budget. It was money well spent. I would certainly recommend your company’s services to anyone contemplating selling a home.

Regards,
George W. Dauth

Rethinking the “Bachelor Pad”

It’s a cliché that will never die. The term “bachelor pad” conjures up some pretty vivid images in our minds; the slick abode of the single guy perpetually “on the make” or the sparsely furnished chaos of the aging frat boy whose idea of décor is a tower of beer cans on the coffee table and… unframed posters of scantily clad women. Frankly, I’m not sure which is worse. Read on ===>
