Life of the Party

Lights Camera Action – 312 Sheridan has officially been launched. Oakland Magazine attended the Sneak Peek Preview Reception to witness the sorts of things Realtors do when bringing a luxury home to market. Not many go over the top like this, but 312 Sheridan demanded a grand debut. Neighbors, joggers and walkers passing by witnessed the on-going makeover that had been transpiring over the past year. Everyone’s curiosity was peaked. Many of the guests enjoyed sharing their stories. Some were casual walkers from the neighborhood, others serious joggers passing through from the surrounding neighborhoods, and those like myself, who drive by the home multiple times a day. 312 Sheridan was and is a well traveled route and daily routine shared by many. And I too had been anticipating the unveiling. [Read More..]

ART // color splash

Art Selection – Something special that is rarely done.

Michelle Bello met with us at 55 Sea View Avenue prior to selecting ARTWORK to discuss our ideas and to measure the spaces we were hoping to fill.  Michelle emailed us some choices to choose from; most are local artists.  Our goal:  to add color and bring a more youthful, contemporary look into each room while complimenting the beautiful details and craftsmanship of this exceptional home.  My goal as the Realtor is different than that of a designer.  My goal is to appeal to a wide range of buyers – the younger as well as the more mature.  I hope you enjoy what we’ve done.  Stop by on September 13th from 10-1pm to preview our work. To purchase what you see here please contact Michelle Bello.  Michelle also has wonderful art hanging in our office at HIGHLAND PARTNERS at 342 Highland Avenue in Piedmont- we invite you to stop in and take a look.  Michelle works with professionals to hang each piece safely and precisely.  Thanks Michelle!!!  I love what you’ve done.  You will find my favorite piece in the art room at 55 Sea View Avenue – I call it COLOR SPLASH.

We had two selections to choose from – This was my choice.  I liked the way the green and the blue drew your eye to the green plants inside and out and the way the blue drew your eye to the water and the blue sky outside.  The other artwork pulled you in and commanded you to focus on the ART entirely and not the home and many details in the room.  If we were at a museum or in an art gallery with the sole purpose of selling the artwork, then the other piece would be appropriate.  In this case the art complements and lightens the room.  My goal has been achieved.We had two selections to choose from – This was my choice.  I liked the way the green and the blue drew your eye to the green plants inside and out and the way the blue drew your eye to the water and the blue sky outside.  The other artwork pulled you in and commanded you to focus on the ART entirely and not the home and many details in the room.  If we were at a museum or in an art gallery with the sole purpose of selling the artwork, then the other piece would be appropriate.  In this case the art complements and lightens the room.  My goal has been achieved. Don’t forget the Garden and Home Improvement needs as well –  Power Washing, Packing, Storing, Hauling, Purging, Managing.  And reports, disclosures and permits.

Order a Sketch, book my photographer, Scott Hargis.  He is truly amazing.  He lights each room in order to obtain the very best shot.  And if the lighting is not ideal he will reschedule without complaints.  Quentin Bacon, my social media producer  is helping me to share the PROCESS with you.  I just love the PROCESS.  I have so much fun watching the transformation from Lived In to Luxury Living.  LIGHTS, Camera, Action, FLOWERS, Brochures, Websites, Print Ads, Write Copy, Blog, Post and so much more.  I didn’t realize how  many tasks I do each time I bring a home onto the market.  Not all agents do as much as I do.  I’ll move and help re-arrange, even in my heels.

Watch and Enjoy – Today we hung art and next week we meet with the San Francisco Chronicle and then Scott shoots evening photos Thursday and Interior shots on Friday.  Stay Tuned – the final product will be unveiled on line by next weekend.  Open for you to see in person September 13th.

Look for us in the Robb Report, the SF iS, the San Francisco Chronicle, Realtor.com, Real Bird, The Hills Newspaper, the Piedmont Post, the Piedmonter, the Montclairion, SF GATE, Debbi and Adam.com, 55SeaViewPiedmont.com, TheHighlandPartners.com and many other websites and social media sites.

Hope to see you on the 13th!
