Trouble selling your house? Try adding ART...

I came across an interesting article that basically said that homes that were sitting on the sale market for some time begin selling quickly when expesive art is added to "glamorize" a room. The technique is called "staging."

Does it work? According to the article, the answer is a resounding "yes." Angela Di Bello, who runs the Agora Gallery in New York says, "When you walk into a room that has artwork, the space becomes more personalized. It instills a sort of passion, excitement in the mind."

Realtors having been renting expensive artwork, typically at three percent of the artwork's sale value, for a three month period. According to the article, "The works of art rarely surpass 20,000 dollars in value, putting rental prices usually between 50 and 600 dollars for three months."

Staging has been typically used to sell upscale homes but is now finding its way in to lower priced homes with similar success. So, if time is money and your house is wasting time on the market...try renting some art and let the dollars roll in!

Making cellphone calls on the down low

Most of us allow our Caller ID to be displayed...but what if you don't want to show who you are for just one call?

When choosing to display your Caller ID, most people think it is all or nothing...you either have to always display it or you always don't.

Instead, turn off Caller ID for just one call by inserting *67 in front of the number. If you are calling a different area code, do the same thing but this time also insert the area code.

e.g. *67555-444-1234

There's nothing else to do. The next call you make will automatically revert to showing your caller ID unless you choose to put *67 in front of it.
