What is Home Staging?

Home Staging is the art of preparing your home to sell. It is not about decorating; Staging creates a lifestyle that buyers are looking for and helps them make an emotional connection to your home. In today’s competing market this is essential.

Why should I Stage my home?

When you make the decision to sell your home it becomes a product. Staging sets your home apart from competing homes on the market. Today’s buyers are lookingfor “move-in” ready homes. Staging is a marketing tool. When added to your Realtors marketing plan you have homes that sells faster and for more of the asking price!

New Playground Proposed on Stramski Way in Marblehead

mikecannuscio — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:46:51 +0000

Thanks to the Marblehead Family Fund and the Harold and Elizabeth Shattuck Memorial Fund, there will be a new playground on Stramski Way. I don’t recall the last time my kids played on that playground. It is in rough shape. The Parks and Rec Department recently agreed to tear down the old playground once the new playground is designed. The budget for the new playground is $50,000 and it will be designed with a sailing theme. The playground will get heavy use once the new pier is constructed (currently on hold due to appeals by neighbors).

Visit the Marblehead Family Fund website if you would like to donate to the effort.
