Prosper Arts And Music Festival


Today, the town of Prosper had its annual Arts and Music Festival. There was a great turnout as people came from all over to witness the great art, delicious food, and live music (just a side note: Newport Homebuilders' own Davis Buescher was one of the musical acts and he knocked it out of the park with his catchy, often humorous country music). There were also plenty of games and jumphouses for the kids to enjoy. A fun time was had by all.

Boon Elementary School PTA Meeting


Tonight, Boon Elementary had a PTA meeting at the school. While the parents were in the auditorium learning what will be going on during the school year, the students and their siblings got to go into the cafeteria for a "green" learning experience. Newport Homebuilders was fortunate to have a booth along with the Allen Water and Conservation Dept., the Heard Museum, and others. At the Newport booth, we talked about water usage and recycling. The kids were able to participate in hands-on demonstrations that showed them how much trash we throw away in a day/month/year etc. A fun time was had by all, especially at the Heard Museum booth. They had live snakes and lizards!

Staging To Sell

If you have ever tried to sell a home, whether you are a home builder, a real estate agent, or have sold a personal home, you know that the trickiest part (and the most important part) is setting your home apart from the others on the market. Setting your home apart from the others is never as important as when the market is slower than the booming days of the past. One of the easy ways to set your home apart from the others out there is staging.

What is staging? Staging is setting up your home so that anyone who walks into the home can envision themselves living there. For example, removing clutter and family photos, opening blinds, rearranging furniture to show off the size and usefulness of the rooms, etc.

Because it can be tricky to stage a home, there are professionals out there to help us. Here is an article about what professional stagers do and how they help you sell your home, and sell it fast.
How To Stage Your Home To Sell Fast

Here is an example, for all you visual people out there, of what staging can do for a home. On the left is a room and on the right is the same room, staged to sell. Even though the home or decor may not be your particular style, you can still see what proper staging can do to a room. Which is more enticing to you?
