Home Staging: Add mirrors in all shapes and sizes!

Home Staging:  Add mirrors in all shapes and sizes!

When you want to spruce up a room, why not add a mirror? It can add light and depth, and you won’t have to push out a wall or add a window to do it.

A framed mirror is attractive, hanging alone or in a group. What’s more, it can be far less expensive than adding artwork to a wall and less risky. Sizable art pieces can overwhelm a room.

The big choice in mirror frames can make them compatible with any room of the house. A little care should be taken so the frame goes with the furniture. A rustic frame, for example, would be out of place in a room with polished furniture in cherry or white finishes.

Some decorators are leaning framed mirrors against a wall for a dramatic effect. They are choosing wide frames in a variety of finishes and hues. Even floor mirrors can be doubled or tripled for a striking effect.

In a small room, a standing mirror can do wonders. It opens up the space by reflecting the outdoors and the furniture. In bathrooms, the new trend is to upsize mirrors so they fill out the entire space above a long vanity or counter.

Some groups of three or four mirrors feature a drawing that continues from one to another, such as the tree branch drawn on four panels and offered by Made Goods.

Most owners still think a home is their best investment!

10.01.10 by

The idea of “home, sweet home,” is generally the same as it used to be.

A survey of homeowners by Bankrate.com shows that an amazing 90 percent of homeowners have no regrets about the purchase of their current home.

One reason: They like their homes. Though there may be lower values in many areas, and bargains on mortgage interest rates they didn’t get, they are still satisfied with their own place. home, sweet, home

The second reason: They like the fact that they add equity to their homes every month. In years to come, they will have saved enough through monthly payments to have their big investment free and clear.

Some financial experts say paying off a mortgage is like having an annuity. That is, instead of getting maybe $750 a month from the annuity, you don’t have to pay $750 a month on a mortgage.

Another survey, this one by lender Fannie Mae, indicates that 70 percent of consumers still see a home as one of the best investments to make.

Their survey shows that 64 percent of those interviewed also think this is a good time to buy a home.

Buyers today are also more knowledgeable about mortgages, according to Fannie Mae. According to their survey, only 8 percent didn’t know what type of mortgage they have, compared with 26 percent of mortgage holders surveyed just two years ago.

In her new book: Buy, Close, Move In! How to Navigate the New World of Real Estate, Safely and Profitably, and End Up with the Home of Your Dreams, author Ilyce Glink answers questions about how much home buyers can afford, how to buy an investment property and how to buy a foreclosed property from a bank.

Your real estate agent has the answers to these questions and many more, but sometimes it’s fun to sit down with a book and dream about a new home.

Glink claims that almost anybody today can make money by flipping, selling or refinancing a home even after a short period of ownership.

We won’t guarantee that but it’s worth thinking about, especially if you’re handy with a paint brush.

Questions and Answers about Location, Location, Location


You’ve undoubtedly heard the mantra of real estate: location, location, location. The neighborhood is primarily the most critical factor in determining a home’s value. When you begin your home search, it will be wise to create a list of criteria for the neighborhood in which you would ideally want to live, work, and play.
Location, Location, Location
Ask yourself questions like how long is the commute to your workplace? Is an urban setting or a rural area more suited to your lifestyle? What is the crime profile for the neighborhoods that interest you?

How convenient is it to get to shopping centers, churches, schools? Speaking of schools, how is the area’s school district rated? Even if you don’t have or plan to have children, the quality of the school district is another significant factor that determines the home’s future value, which will be important when the time comes to resell your house.

If you find that you’re priced out of the neighborhood you really love, try to locate fixer-uppers in the area. They may need work, yes, but you’ll get your foot in the door, so to speak, and can expect your property value to rise along with the other neighborhood properties and your improvements and repairs.

We can help you locate a suitable neighborhood and home on Florida’s Treasure Coast, and protect your best interests. Make your list and make a call today.

A Proactive Approach

09.25.10 by

Typically, homeowners will spend weeks preparing their home for sale, rushing to repair the roof or drafty windows or electrical issues, or old appliances (not to mention rushing to the bank to cover the costs of getting the home in model condition).  However, there is another novel approach to making your home appeal to buyers, and it’s called preventative maintenance.

In other words, starting from this day, look at your home as a prospective buyer would.  If you would repair or improve certain features of your home for them, then why not for yourself?

Even new homeowners will one day find themselves on the selling side of the table.  It may be difficult to look that far into the future, but life can throw some curve balls that might precipitate a move sooner than you had expected.  A growing family, job transfer, or health issues are just a few of the changes that could lead to your decision to downsize, upsize, or relocate to another city.

Keep in mind that any small problems around your home will ultimately develop into bigger ones if neglected and that it’s always easier and less expensive to fix the small problem earlier on.  Get proactive and enjoy living in a home that is always in selling condition.  When the time eventually comes to move, you’ll be really glad you did!
