What we do: Professional Home Organizing

PROFESSIONAL HOME ORGANIZING involves going into a client’s home and rearranging various areas in the home such as cupboards, closets, kitchens, storage areas, and home offices, to name a few. As an example, we will arrange your cupboards into "zones" for logical, simplified, more efficient use. You will be able to find what you need, when you need it and without all the clutter!

Where clients cannot reach high or low, the cupboards and other areas will be made ACCESSIBLE. Cupboards can be CUSTOMIZED with new inserts, storage units, containers, jars, baskets or whatever looks good and is convenient to allow easier access. Colors can be used to make it easier to visually identify sections, and easy-open containers can be used for those with arthritic issues.

DE-CLUTTERED - getting rid of out dated products, papers, expired receipts, etc. can be a daunting task but with the right parameters and lots of love and respect, we help work through the process to the final scrap. Closets can be cleaned out and rearranged by seasons, colors and items (scarfs, hats, purses, shoes and belts, for example).

General residential CLEANING is also offered as a service, alone or in conjunction with our other services. We'll even clean behind fridges, stoves, and dryers to prevent fire hazards.

"The “Golden Rule” of any Professional Organizing Service is simply this, “there’s a place for everything and everything in its place." Organization makes life more manageable, less stressful, more productive, more efficient, and gives you more TIME to enjoy life! It gives peace of mind and a sense of balance and control.

Ease your frustration. Know where things are without thinking. No more searching. No more wasted time. That is our ultimate goal.

Home Staging

HOME STAGING is preparing the home for sale on the market, and is fairly new here on the Island. But a huge industry in the States and across Canada. It is proven to sell homes in less time and for more money for you, the home owner. Staging your home is simply DE-cluttering, DE-personalizing, neutralizing with color for a broader range of buyers, and making the home more spacious and open. We also look at the most commonly overlooked selling point: curb appeal. Most buyers do a "drive-by" look before actually making an appointment to view a prospective home. So the outside is as important, or more so, than the inside. This is also as important with the picture you take for viewing on the internet. A buyer will see what is there, not the potential of what the home will be. Buyers need to be able to see themselves living in the home. Buyers don't want something they need to turn around and spend more money to repair paint, etc. They want a move-in, ready home. So if you have your home staged, the ready buyers will pick your home over one that has not been properly prepared. A staged home gets a higher end appraisal from the realtor which gives you, the owner, a higher asking price. Get the money you deserve from your home. If your home is sitting and not selling, you want a faster sale and the money you feel your home is worth, Call S.O.S for Help.

Ten Key Benefits Of Home Staging

Welcome to all of our SOSPEI readers,

You may or may not be familiar with the term "Home Staging". The term is becoming more and more important to the person who has a home or property to sell.

Here are ten key benefits to having your home or property staged in order to achieve a quicker sale and a higher selling price.

This information has been quoted from the e book "Home Staging For Fun And Profit" 

• Staging allows the visual appeal of the home to be readily apparent to the buyer.
• The seller gets a quicker sale at a better price than without staging.
• Buyers will spend more time in a home that is comfortable to be in allowing them time to "connect" with the home.
• The staging process allows a home to get mostly "packed up" and readied for moving day.
• Staging uncovers the original architectural design and charm of a home by exposing and highlighting selling features.
• Staging gets more potential buyers in the door because agents know that a staged home has a better chance of selling so it is shown more often.
• Staging takes some of the stress out of selling a house because no one has to worry about the "unknowns".
• Staging saves the buyer money because the buyer knows that repairs and updates have already been done.
• Staging saves the buyer time because there are no "little" repairs that will need doing when they move in....they can begin their new life in their new home without an extensive "honey do" list.

Okay now that we have your interest with the first nine, why not go check out the e book to find the tenth key benefit and much more.

We hope you enjoy learning about staging your home or property when it is going on the market.

We invite you to ask us any questions that you would like to have answered on having your home staged when the time is right.
