I love writing for this publication cause they let me be me. ("Love Your Small Unit", "Turn Your House into A Green House") Side note: I love that the cover is an Asian hottie! Who was the last Asian Cover Boy? Probably me.

Follow her here twitter.com/thesassysuit. I am shocked how agents dress! I can not tell you how many times I've walked into an open house and have seen agents in sweats, halter tops or flip-flops. You don't have to wear a 3 piece suit, but you want people to know you are hockin' homes...not hockin' hooters! eHow asked me to do a video about this very tragical dilemma facing our industry. Watch! How to Dress to Sell a Home -- powered by ehow Real phone conversation with clueless listing agent Herman: Hi, I'm calling about listing on *&^@& St. Is there anything wrong with the property? Agent: It's gorgeous! Herman: How come there are no photos? Agent: Didn't you read the pretty description I wrote? Herman: (rolls eyes) Um, a picture is worth a 1000 words. I feel so sorry for his clients! People are visual creatures. If your house is for sale, make sure you have TONS of pics. It's like online dating, you are more likely to click on the guy with attractive photos and sparse bio, than a guy with no pix and long flowery bio (TMI or over compensation). Let's face it. No pix implies fugly! Case in point: Notice how boring this blog post is without any images?! Wealth Magazine allots me a beautiful full 2 page spread in their Winter 2012 issue.

Post in comments & it just might be next month's topic!  With winter slowly melting away, eHow asked me to do a quick vlog for sellers who are prepping their homes for the traditional high season in real estate: Spring & Summer! De-clutter, de-personalize, stage & match your decor with your house style. Good luck! Decorating to Sell Your Home -- powered by ehow  Last week I dropped in on a friend who closed escrow over a year ago. It was a fabulous property & I couldn't wait to see how she decorated it. I walked in...and it looked the same. Whomp, Whomp! I said, "Girl, what happened to all those design plans you fantasized about!? Didn't you TIVO like 800 hours of ColorSplash!?" She had no time, no money & no idea where to start. What a shame! But I see this all the time. Folks spend thousands a month on house payments but don't do a darn thing to make it nice. So, eHow asked me to share some quick tips on how to find a designer to help you dress up the biggest purchase of your life! And it won't cost you an arm & a leg either.
