Staging New Hampshire

This Hampton Falls chiropractor will keep your health and spine in line.  If you are looking for top-of-the-line treatment for discomfort or pain and are interested in a natural approach to better health, Dr. Kevin Sandberg is the person I suggest you call. 

Whether it's headaches, back pain, or neck pain, Dr. Sandberg at Shoreline Chiropractic Center in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire will correct your problems to the extent possible by releasing all nerve interference or irritations to all parts of your body, including your areas of pain.

I became one of Dr. Sandberg's patients after suffering from pain in my hands and arms for over a year.  Past visits to two different physical therapists and an orthopedic surgeon had not been helpful.  Dr. Sandberg not only has treated me with chiropractic adjustments, he has instructed me on how to strengthen my arms using weights and exercise.  The improvement has been wonderful!  I am continuing to go once a month for regular maintenance.  

What you can expect:

On your first visit you will meet the doctor to discuss your health situation and to see if you are a good candidate for chiropractic care. 

If he thinks he can help, he will conduct a thorough examination.

He will tell you exactly what he finds, what he can do to help, how long it may take, and how much it will cost.  (His office accepts most major health insurance.)

He always explains everything in advance.

 Office Hours:

Monday & Wednesday  8-12  and   2-6

Tuesday & Thursday    1-6

 Friday  8-2

A quick history on the good doctor:

 Dr. Sandberg suffered from severe back pain for over a year while in college until a trusted professor suggested he go to a chiropractic clinic. 

The care he received at that clinic provided complete and permanent relief from the pain, and his career choice became obvious.

Dr. Sandberg has been a licensed chiropractor for eight years and opened Shoreline Chiropractic in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, in May of 2008. 

Dr. Sandberg was drawn to New Hampshire by its proximity to the lakes, beaches, and mountains. 

He and his wife, Jennifer, a native of Hampton, can be found cycling the Seacoast area roadways throughout the year and skiing the local cross-country trails during the snow season.

Dr. Sandberg takes patient satisfaction to heart.  He genuinely cares about his patients and treats each one as he would his own family.  His pride in his work is quite obvious. 

Don't hesitate to call Dr. Sandberg with questions you may have about chiropractic care  or to discuss how it could help improve your quality of life.

I totally agree with this post and found it through another reblog.  I thought I would share it with you in case you missed it the first time around, like I had.

 Home staging advice for selling your Rye Beach home - get into the closet.  Get into every single closet and cabinet and drawer in your home.   Home staging isn't just about new furniture and paint colors.  It's more than adding cut flowers and a bowl of lemons to the table. 

 Home staging is about creating a perception of value in the minds of potential buyers. 

Rye Beach is a prestigious seacoast town with beautiful homes, sporting manicured lawns and breathtaking views of the ocean.  No matter what your price range, your Rye Beach home must be strategically marketed. 

Advertisers spend a lot of time, effort and money to make their products appealing to buyers.  Every image, color and font is  specifically chosen to be attractive to buyers and to make the product stand out from the competition. Its really no different when selling your house.  If you want buyers to choose your Rye Beach home over the others on the market, you need to make sure its more appealing and more memorable.

One, seldom used, strategy for appealing to buyers is to impress them with extremely organized cabinets and closets. 

That's right!  Having clean, organized cabinets and closets sends a message to buyers.  The message is that a very organized, meticulous person lives there. 

The entire house is then perceived, in the mind of the buyer, as having been very well maintained. 

It really isn't that much extra work, consider it a headstart on your packing to move. Take one room or closet at a time.  Remove all off-season clothing.  Pull out everything you don't need or use on a daily basis and divide into three piles...

1.  Trash     2.  Donate     3. Pre-pack

All remaining items should be arranged neatly, putting like items together and storing small items in matching storage containers.  Having labels facing out will create an even greater sense of order.

Make sure closet floors are free of clutter, swept, and clean.

Make sure cabinet shelves are clean and either painted or covered with shelf liner. 

Wipe all drawers in kitchen and bathrooms with a damp cloth.  Don't forget to clean out medicine cabinets.

If you make the time, or have a home stager or cleaning company do it for you, buyers will take notice. 

Your competition will not be making the extra effort - you will have the advantage.  

If you are selling in Rye Beach, NH - Do you still need home staging? 

It was declared an "earthly paradise" by Captain John Smith in 1614, and the town of Rye, New Hampshire continues to live up to that description today.  

Along Rye's majestic eight miles of coastline are some of the most beautiful and oldest homes on the Seacoast. 

Location, Location, Location....right?  With a location like Rye Beach, who needs home staging?

I was recently hired by a realtor to do a home staging consult for a seller who was under the impression that his "Rye location" was enough. 

 Not only had he overpriced the home, but it needed updating, cleaning and some major decluttering.  

This seller didn't think he needed to make any of the improvements I suggested.  He didn't think he needed to lower the price, as the Realtor suggested.  He felt confident in his Rye Beach location being enough to attract buyers and didn't take my  home staging suggestions seriously.

This was several months ago, and this seller has not seen much interest from buyers. 

Rye Beach may be known as the Gold Coast of New Hampshire

and

Barron's Magazine may have named it one of the top twenty places in the world to retire,

but that doesn't mean you can put your house on the market, without making sure it is prepared to meet the expectations of potential buyers, and expect to get top dollar for it.

There are expectations to be met and today's buyers must be impressed.

Rye Beach is a very desireable place to call home, but is your home desireable to potential buyers? 

Home staging will help sell your Hampton Meadows condo.  It is not something most condo owners realize, but home staging is the marketing tool that sets you apart from your competition.  Home staging is just what you need to make your home the most memorable and the most appealing.

Yes, Hampton Meadows is a beautiful community, close to the highway and beaches, but location and convenience alone won't be the deciding factor for buyers.

As with most condominium and townhouse communities, Hampton Meadows has multiple homes for sale at any given time.  Homes are very similar in design and have identicle floor plans. 

For many buyers, the details of the individual homes they tour within the community all seem to blur together by day's end. 

This is where home staging can make all the difference.

For the most part, the homes for sale in Hampton Meadows are furnished and decorated in similar style.  Just spend some time looking at the photos in MLS and you will see what I'm talking about.  The majority of sellers, your competition, are not using home staging, so using it will give you the advantage.

  Home staging will take your condo and set it on another playing field, and put it in a league of it's own.  

The following photos are from a home in Hampton Meadows that was staged by Sharon Tara Transformations and was one of seven homes that all held an open house the same weekend. 

 This home, the only one to use a home stager, was the only one to receive an offer that weekend.

Seven homes had an Open House - One home got an offer and SOLD

 Home Staging made the difference.

If you are selling a home in Hampton Meadows, consult with a professional home stager, prior to listing, to guarantee that your house is the one that buyers will remember.

What does home staging cost in Portsmouth New Hampshire?  For many New Hampshire sellers the concept of home staging remains a fairly new concept, even though it has become very common in other parts of the country. 

Even with all the television shows and media attention, there is still alot of misunderstanding when it comes to the subject. 

Many sellers are under great financial stress and truly believe they can't afford this service.  Home staging in New Hampshire is often perceived as expensive, and unfortunately, by some realtors, as unnecessary.

In many cases, the perceived definition of home staging is the problem.

The most common representation of home staging involves a total remodel - all new furniture and accessories brought in by a team of workers...costing thousands of dollars.   Not helping this perception is that many, if not most, home stagers do not list prices for their services and if sellers have to inquire further to find out how much something costs, that traditionally translates into being expensive.  Many people will just assume it is too expensive rather than ask price.   

Home staging does not have to be expensive and there are levels of service to fit all budgets. 

The way home stagers charge for their services varies.  Some charge hourly, some by square footage, some have half day and full day rates.

What does home staging cost in Portsmouth, New Hampshire?  Sharon Tara Transformations charges $150 for an initial consult, up to two hours.  Each additional hour is $70.  Basically, you receive a room-by-room walk through with suggestions for ways to improve the appearance and appeal of your house.  Furniture placement is addressed and changes are made wherever possible along the way.  Before and after photos are taken and photos are made available to the seller and/or agent for use in marketing. 

There are many beautiful homes for sale in Portsmouth and the surrounding seacoast area.   New Hampshire is not only a great place to raise a family, but a popular vacation destination. 

 If you plan to sell your home in Portsmouth, make sure to market it wisely.  Consult with a professional home stager on it's preparation prior to listing.  When you meet with Realtors, ask them if they work with a stager and visit their current listings and see what their MLS photos look like.

 It is very frustrating to hear that a client "cannot afford" to stage and then watch as their price is reduced by $20,000 a few months later.  Consider the mortgage payment, insurance, and utility payments that are adding up each month your house stays on the market when you are considering cost.

  It's not whether you can afford to stage, it's whether you can afford NOT to stage.

Premature Listing Syndrome - NH Stager Cautions Home Sellers

My daughter, Jaime, sent me this picture this morning.  She is six months pregnant, due to have her first baby the end of October.  She was pretty happy to find this sign recently while shopping.

I have not seen this form of reserved parking anywhere, maybe it's something new.  I think it's a great idea and more places should follow their example.

So on behalf of Jaime and all the other pregos out there:

Thank you to Home Depot in Rochester, NH!!

I've written four whole blog posts without reference to the new grandbaby...

I figure you must be dying for an update!

Jack had a bit of a problem adjusting to life at home and spent his first two nights nursing and crying.  This left his parents with no sleep.

Things are now looking up and they seem to have fallen into a much more reasonable schedule, leaving everyone a little more rested.

Jack had his first bath this week, and although I wasn't there, I hear he did very well. 

The bath came at just the right time, because Daddy's inexperience in feeding left Jack with some milk in the folds under his chin.

Pretty much he has been eating, sleeping, and spending quality time with the folks.  He has had lots of visitors who adore him.

He even got dressed up and went shopping with Mommy.

It's been a very busy week for all and a real adjustment for the two kitties who are afraid of Jack and won't come out of hiding. 

It's such a simple concept.  You have something for sale, someone sees it, likes what they see, and wants to own it.  Providing the price is right, you are looking at a successful sale.

Add competition to the picture and your sale becomes more difficult.  Once the buyer has a choice, it becomes very important that your product catch his attention and appeal to him.  It must appeal to him more than just visually, it must make him feel happy.  He must feel happier when he looks at your product than he does when he looks at those other twenty similarly priced products.

The seller with the shiniest product wins!  The more people you have competing against you to win the buyer, the more impressive your product needs to be.  It takes preparation and presentation to be impressive. 

Is your product the shiniest?  Do you know who your competition is?  Have you checked out your competition to see what they are offering buyers?  If not, how can you possibly compete against them and win?

Professional Home Staging,

 from preparation...to presentation

it's all about the impression!
