they will promote as the biggest,
baddest and most amazing color
for the year. Not everyone agrees
on one color, in fact, the confusion
often comes due to competing
colors of the year from various
color camps. These selections will
dictate what we will be seeing on
the runway, in home décor and
even automobiles may be in�u-
enced by the latest color trends.
Now this doesn’t mean you need to
redo your home each year.
Add color in the personality ele-
ments such as side chairs, pillows,
art, area rug, etc. Let’s take a look at
three options for the 2013 Color of
the Year. One thing I will guarantee
even if you don’t like them, you will
!nd these colors sneaking into your
life and you might even decide these
are exactly what your room needs.
Lively. Radiant.
Lush…
A color of
elegance and
beauty that en-
hances our sense
of well-being,
balance and
harmony.
Indigo is a visual
band-aid to our
hectic lives. A
striking statement
colour associated
with wisdom and
honesty which
enhances your
environment.
An ideal transition
color as we move
from the more vi-
brant spectrum
and mid-to-deep
tone hues that
we’ve been experi-
encing in home
furnishings and
fashions.
ach year the color
gurus gather in o"ces,
board rooms, and pri-
vate meeting rooms to
discuss what colors

Selling a home used to be easy, call a Realtor, research the
competition, and put a sign in the yard. There was very little
thought to “prepping” a house for sale but time has shown
today’s buyer is more demanding. The art of prepping
simply translates to make something ready. You may have
heard of it as staging but bottom line, you can’t sell a house
without prepping for maximum appeal.

The day to day of life is messy and when we live in it, we quit seeing it. Cleaning to sell
goes beyond surface cleaning but means all of those places that are no longer hidden.
Prospective Buyers have carte blanche when touring a home and can look anywhere.
Dripping faucets, cracked tile, �oor scratches, all send a message that says, “This house has
been neglected.” In today’s tough market, eliminate any possibilities of a potential buyer
being turned o� by maintenance issues.
Every buyer wants maximum square footage and the illusion of size. Eliminate about 50%
of the non-essentials in your home. Paper, mementos, tchotchkes, toys, all take over a
space. Eliminate personal mementos as well. Walk through your home with an eye for
stay, go or throw! In addition to de-cluttering, add light by removing privacy window
treatments and put full spectrum bulbs in all light �xtures to maximize the illusion of
space.
If you are headed for a dinner date, you “prep” yourself with makeup, your best dress and
shoes. In other words, you amp up the visual appeal. Take the same approach with your
home by adding visual interest that will appeal to your target market and is on trend.
Keep in mind; this isn’t about expressing your personal style. People buy a new home with
more emotion than practicality. Arrange vignettes and send subtle messages that will
encourage people to fall in love with your house. Get inspired by visiting model homes
and apply some of their details to your home; or better yet, �nd a decorating professional
who o�ers staging services.
The nose is a powerful friend or foe of your property. Cooking, pets, smoking, all may send
negative messages to a potential buyer that can impact their decision to make an o�er.
Ask someone else to give your house the “sni�” test.
Here are �ve things every seller should do
before placing the sign in the yard.
