3707 Kansas FLOWER

In a world where people want to see homes in their pajamas in bed, property photography needs to be stellar to grab a buyer’s attention.  I love working with my photographer, Peter; he totally gets me.  On every photo session, I explain to Peter what I am trying to exude to potential buyers.  A house is more than the rooms and the staged furniture, it is about setting the stage and giving a vibe.  This photo was captured last week at 3707 Kansas Street in the Laurel District of Oakland – a sweet, sunny bungalow studded with fruit tree- love the bee on the citrus blossom.

I love helping my clients buy homes that have had long time owners. Often times, the homes are well maintained and have the vintage details preserved. Last month I helped my clients by a home on a creek that was built in 1950. Downstairs in the laundry room there was a Conlon Ironing Machine with the original booklets. I love this!

This one of the 3 original booklets of instructions for the Conlon Ironing Machine. Finding these booklets at the house during our final walk-thru before my clients closed escrow on this house, was a trip back in time.

I love this kitchen and could really image drinking coffee in here!

I absolutely adore the kitchen in my new listing in Redwood Heights. (www.3361Victor.com) It is everything that one could want: open space, ample solid surfaced counters, gas range, tons of storage, built-in desk, French doors to the backyard, and did I mention this kitchen is sexy?  Come see it this Sunday.

Peter Lyons, (professional real estate photographer) captured this photo of me as I put flowers out for the photo shoot.
