Staging increases results. There is no question. Hands down. Our last two listings we agreed to allow our colleagues in the community to show #bywood2364 and this home #SeaView308 prior to market; neither had early takers. Each time we bring a home to market even the agents are surprised and impressed by the transformation. Most people simply cannot envision how a home can look. Adam and I have a knack for seeing through a homes current condition. Almost like Superman. We can see through what’s in front of us. Adam and I have actually purchased 4 homes for ourselves, none were Staged and all in very poor condition, we also built one home from the ground up. Staging and preparation is crucial in order to gain top results for your clients. A home is one of their biggest investments so we do not advise cutting corners. Focus on the End Game by investing up front. You’ll be glad you did.

Spoken For • SOLD • 10 Day Close • No Contingencies • One of the reasons a Buyer is able to or confident enough to make an offer without a Home Inspection Contingency is because all Reports & Inspections were provided in advance to the Buyer. However ... Different Markets Have Different Area Standards. In the East Bay, we usually provide disclosures up front. Generally a Disclosure Packet will include a Termite Report, Home Inspection, Sewer Lateral Inspection + sometimes additional ones.. Foundation, Electrical, Heating, etc... • The Presentation Of Offers can also be handled differently. In a Sellers Market we may state an Offer Date. In a Buyers Market a Listing Agent will most likely listen to Offers, As Written. To learn more go to Amazon.com and purchase my books The Art of Real Estate + Real Estate Rules! 52 Ways To Achieve Success In Real Estate. Or DM me. I’m always happy to share. . . . #sold #spokenfor #realestate #realestateagent #realestaterules #theartofrealestate #piedmont #oakland #beverlyhills #losangeles #milliondollarlisting #1869grandviewdrive #hillerhighlands #areastandards #disclosures #reports

Luxury Connect .. definitely one of the top venues to connect with the best of the best. And when I say best I mean .. like-minded - giving - inspiring - and - PASSIONATE.. it's pretty cool to be surrounded by people who wear their heart on their sleeve + love what they do. I'll admit I wasn't sure how I'd feel or what I'd think as I don't much like crowds or conferences, but I was pleasantly surprised. And I'm going back in for round 3! DM or text me, I'd love to connect. Partnering with other Real Estate agents is one of the best ways to build your business. . . . . #inmyopinion #luxuryconnect #inmanluxuryconnect #inmanconnect #worthwhile #beverlyhills #newyork #sanfrancisco #usa #local #national #international #global #connectwithme #realestate #realestaterules #theartofrealestate #milliondollarlisting #therealdeal #LUXURYCONNECT (at Debbi DiMaggio - Realtor Author Philanthropist)

Orchids & Candles. Setting the stage. Most Buyers even Realtors, self proclaimed can't see through a home if it's not painted and staged. When I walk into a potential listing I strip it back like Superman. I don't see what's in front of me, I see what I can make it be. Please Note: When invited into a home for pleasure not work, don't worry, I don't strip it down. I'm off the clock per se, unless asked my opinion. And then yes, I'll have one. . . . #1869GrandViewDrive #hillerhighlands #oakland #bayarea #eastbay #realtorlife #realtors #realestaterules #theartofrealestate #dimaggioandbetta (at Debbi DiMaggio - Realtor Author Philanthropist)

Details Make The Difference. A home brought to market takes a village. Scroll through a few of my favorites. The den until recent was dark, wood panels. What a difference.

Behind every successful or business or person is a team. Just in this photograph I can visualize all the people who brought this home to market. Many to list from contractors and painters, floor installers and stagers, my intern and husband, office staff and plumbers, home inspectors, the sign guy and print shop, and the icing on the cake.. my photographers and of course our clients. Without our clients we would not have the opportunity. To all, I am grateful. . . #givecredit #thanks #praise #expressyourgratitude #teamwork #ittakesavillage #gold #goldfinishes #knobs #pulls #lighting #accents #accentpieces #lamps #oakland #piedmont #beverlyhills #westhollywood #hollywood #hollywoodhills #realestate #realestaterules #theartofrealestate @quentinbacon (at Debbi DiMaggio - Realtor Author Philanthropist)

Had to give my intern Max a week off in order to catch up with everything he's been doing..... Residential Real Estate isn't what you learn in real estate school or about going to open houses and selling homes. Real Estate, Max is learning, is all about the little things. Here are a few scenes.. a day in the life, behind the scenes with Max. Rule 1. Mindset of a Realtor - (not all Realtors subscribe to this) ... A Realtor doesn't always get paid or even expect to get paid. A good Realtor simply helps their clients. One never knows what good may come by helping others in any scenario, real estate is no different. I personally believe helping others must be first on your list if residential real estate is something you would like to pursue. It would be very hard if it wasn't. Do to do, not because. . Max stuffed, sealed, purchased, stamped and mailed over 500 letters one afternoon. Our goal: to find a needle in a haystack or more specifically a rental for a very stressed out client. Expense: $300+ Monetary Return: Zero Personal Return: A very happy client. . Showing gratitude. Flowers are always nice. . Live in gratitude. How to describe this mindset? I suppose I always do regardless of my gain. I do to do and things usually work out. I don't measure or keep score. . It's been a busy month in the life of my intern. Timing could not have been more ideal. So many things came together in such a short time Max has been able to see quite a bit. . From selling a home and all that goes into that especially during multiple offers, showing homes, holding open houses and broker tours, turning lights on and off, running endless errands, remodeling a home to selling a home .. . #realestaterules #theartofrealestate #52waystoachievesuccessinrealestate #foundation4success #ontheothersideof25 #justdoit #fortheloveofthegame #maxainternship #internshipwithdebbi #grateful #gratitude #livingingratitude #justbecause #passion #inspiration #heart #sold #helpingclients #achievetheirdreams (at Debbi DiMaggio Realtor Author Brand)

Good or Bad? When your clients walk into their own home and love it so much they want to move back? . . #Day4 Max got to witness one of our listings from "lived in" to "staged to sell". When @pamelastrikefullerton previewed the home during the chaos of the packing stage it made her hyperventilate. Just 5 days later, sellers were packed and moved. Monday the painters came in and toned down the brighter and darker colors. A sweet tangerine in one bedroom and the dining room from brilliant yellow to a more neutral color + a bathroom from chocolate to a lighter tone that brought out the beautiful stone and tile. After painting, followed a team of housecleaners + window washers. Sparkling windows are the best. Landscapers re planted and added a few pots with a pop of color. Power washing happened the week before. The final touch, staging by @bphome and photos by the one and only @quentinbacon .. key on lockbox, flyers made, disclosure link being prepared, ads placed. I'm sure there's more. #InternshipWithDebbi #MaxAInternship #realtorlife #realestaterules #theartofrealestate #artofrealestate #happyclients #stagedtosell #preparingahomeformarket #Piedmont #topratedschools #staging #newhouse #rebuilt #ifyoubuildittheywillcome #OpenSaturday #OpenSunday #photographs #story #film #producer #director #parkway201
