In this first episode of 2024, Steve Martin & Katrina Smith discuss some pros and cons of home staging options.

Real Estate professionals everywhere agree on the value of depersonalizing your property prior to listing it.   Have you ever seen staged homes that obviously had the  personality of the stager/decorator all over it?  Can that actually be counter productive to the sale of your property?

What if a potential buyer or your listing agent need to move some of the furniture to show the potential buyer other layout options?  Will that "staging company" allow you to do that?

These valuable insights and more are included in this episode of the Real Estate Agent Man podcast

Verse 1

Sunblock on my face and hands

The Back hurts when I get up or down 

That won’t stop me - from living my plans 

My brain thinks that I’m a younger man 

Chorus

Yet I’m 60,  I’d rather golf every day 

60, and live the Florida way                60, I pay my HOA

My neighbors hang out at my place, but

My hot tub is my personal space oh yeah

Verse 2

I’ve got a - fishing boat and cool golf cart

Still love to rock - on my guitar

Well I was daddy and I dug that a lot

But Now I’m grandpa - and grandma’s so hot

Chorus

Yeah I’m 60,  and my hairs gettin’ gray

60 but it’s - still fun to play            60 do you - get what I say?

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Well Sunblock is on my face and my hands 

And Pickle ball is really outta sight

Past the middle, the middle of life

The dirts below me - I’m a happy man

OUTRO

60 and I like it          Yea I like it       Cuz you can Like it or lump it 

Lump it or like it.          60, 60, 60.         I’m 60 and I like it

Leaving In My Chevy
By Steve Martin Smith
Copyright 2023
(Parody of Leaving on a jet Plane, by John Denver)

All my bags are packed, I'm happy to go 
It's time to leave this freaking cold
And sing a tropical parody of this song

My body’s achin’ from slippin on ice
That feeling is not very nice
I want sunshine on my shoulders all year long

Chorus
So kiss off if you’re mad at me - For leaving you in this misery
Or join me now, but hey - it’s time to go
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy - This time I’m finally ready
To say goodbye yellow snow

So many skies are only grey
For months they just won’t go away
And freezing slush, well that  just really sucks

So many times I’ve raked the leaves
So many times I’ve had to freeze
So many pot holes make me yell - oh fudge

Repeat chorus

Now’s the time - I start to drive
To where baby boomers come alive
Where 63 is the new 42

At Venice Beach I’ll fit right in
Enjoying sunshine and a swim
Posting selfies to show them off to you

So kiss off if you’re mad at me - For leaving you in this misery
Or join me now, but hey - it’s time to go

Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy 
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy 
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy 
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy - This time I’m finally ready
To say goodbye yellow snow

All my bags are packed, I'm happy to go 
It's time to leave this freaking cold
And sing a tropical parody of this song
