Elisa came to Divine Consign with a degree in marketing and a real estate license, along with 19 years experience as a makeup artist (and you can tell, her make up is always flawless!).  Elisa's skills don't end there, she has specialized in photography makeup and professional modeling portfolio design.

With all that great experience, one wonders why Elisa has switched fields?

"My passion is in home decor, color, and upscale resale!  I have been shopping upscale resale before it was cool," says Elisa. Plus, her real estate experience has strengthened her knowledge of good home design and staging.

Oh....and she is an Aquarius.

5 Quick-N-Easy Staging Tips

Ready to sell your home? Have a $0 budget to work with? Short on time?

No worries, here are five quick tips for an easy-breezy solution for home staging!

1) Start getting rid of stuff!
    - closets should be cleared and easy to access
    - accessories should be at a minimum - unclutter tables, mantles, bookshelves
    - we love our family pictures, but prospective buyers don't! Outta there!

2) If you have any leftover paint in your garage, break it out now and touch up your walls

3) Re-arrange furniture to create clear traffic patterns. Arrange pieces around important focal points like a fireplace or picture window rather than the TV! (See our blog post about Floating Furniture for ideas)

4) Clean, clean, clean! Do the white glove test on all surfaces, even those you can't see!

5) Add splashes of color by using decorative pillows, fresh flowers, towels, rugs, etc.  You probably already have these things elsewhere in your house, move 'em around!

There you go, your realtor will thank you and hopefully your house will sell soon!
