With spring in the air, the exterior of a home becomes even more important when putting your house on the market because buyers now will spend more time outside looking at your property and envisioning what their summer barbeques and family playtime will look like.

Friends often share holidays, vacation together and are there for all the important moments in life. So, why not buy a home together?

You may love your home, but that doesn’t mean that everyone coming through the door will feel the same way. What may be “charming” to the seller may seem off-putting to a prospective buyer. Many sellers attempt to stage their home themselves and, in doing so, create mistakes that can actually sidetrack the sale of their homes.

It may not be the first thing one thinks about when decorating for a sale, but the addition of rugs to a home can go a long way.

There’s no denying that buying a home is one of the biggest thrills of your life, but it can also quickly become overwhelming. While the home you choose may appear to be the perfect house, hiding underneath the dream could be serious unknown defects that can make your investment a costly one.

It’s astonishing how many people believe they are the next Mario Batali and have taken to the kitchen in a serious way.

Home sellers today must convince a new era of buyers returning to the market that their homes stand for value and quality.

Buying a new home can be a huge, complex undertaking, especially when it’s your first time. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced real estate agent guiding you along the way.
