    Open House Schedule for January 26th

    There are many benefits to attending an open house.  First, buyers have an opportunity to realistically see what they can afford in the housing market as you drive through the neighborhood.  Second, you will be able to ask your real estate related questions to a licensed realtor.  Third, you will learn more about your needs with regard to amenities once you actually preview homes.  For instance, after visiting several single family homes, you may decide you actually prefer a townhome, where maintenance such as lawn-care and snow removal is included.  Now that I’ve convinced you to attend a few open houses this weekend, here are some tips on etiquette.  You may be asked to remove your shoes or wear shoe guards, which should be provided by the agent.  Be sure to follow the “sign-in” instructions and introduce yourself to the realtor.  If other perspective buyers are present, respect their privacy and give them some space.  Here is a list of Open Houses scheduled for 1/26…have fun!  Be sure to check this blog again for updates on future open house schedules.

  • Functional Kitchen

    Functional Kitchen

    One of the most important rooms in the house is the kitchen.  Whether you are starting your day with your morning coffee, preparing daily meals or entertaining guests, the kitchen is considered active and versatile living space.  With stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, decorative backsplashes and copper accents, the kitchen can be one of the focal points of an open floor plan.  When house-hunting, an attractive kitchen is key.  However, an attractive and functional kitchen is a nice bonus.  For a fully functional kitchen, consider the following tips.  Look for cabinetry including a pantry that will allow you to easily access your supplies and enough space to store your large pots and platters.  Another suggestion is the convenience of a two-tiered carousel for your corner cabinets.  Seating arrangement should be comfortable not cramped.  A nice extra is to have counter space that also serves as a breakfast bar with stools.  Proper lighting is an essential tool as you slice, dice and saute, but also consider under-the-counter lighting to read recipes and serve as a nightlight when the cleaning is complete.  A space saving tip is to mount the microwave under cabinetry if possible.  You’ll appreciate the extra counter space.  Whether you are looking for a new home or plan to renovate your existing kitchen, hire a kitchen designer for more tips and to help you create a customized kitchen triangle to best suit your needs and living space.
