A lot of people feel like their home looks naked once they take all of the personal pictures off the walls and reduce the amount of clutter. Sometimes the problem is trying to enhance a view that is the top selling feature or the issue is that there is not enough natural light in the room. Well, there is one solution that will fix it all...mirrors!
There are quite a few ways to let mirrors bring out the best in your home in expensively.

washington state: Marketing that Stands Out! - 04/09/13 06:04 AM
I am always on the look out for products to offer at Inferno Advertising that set my clients apart from the rest. The best way to do that is to find something that will surprise people when they see it and cause them to take a closer look, or as in the case of my latest favorite product cause them to STAND OUT!
I found these cute flip flops with the unforgettable "Don't Worry- Be Happy" imprint on them. They can be personalized any way you want for your business or just for friends and would make a great closing gift or memorable give away. … (2 comments)

washington state: From the Other Side... - 09/24/11 08:58 AM
This last May I had to make a tough choice. Continue marketing homes and helping buyers though the purchase process or address the real reasons homes are not selling like they should.
I went back and forth and had many sleepless nights. I thought about the implications of temporarily giving up a career I love. It finally came down to the real reason I became a Realtor.
In 2004 I decided that I would choose a career that would help people. My husband and I had recently refinanced our home and had a mortgage broker that broke all of the rules … (10 comments)

washington state: Does Washington State have a "cross your fingers and hope for the best" budget? - 09/18/11 12:01 PM
By most accounts the remarks made by Kathy Haigh last year recommending "crossing our fingers and hoping for the best" concerning Washington State's budget, have come to pass and the results are not good.
At this time the revenue forecasts are only 2.1 billion for the next two years not the hoped for 3.5 Billion. Those numbers are far apart and seem to be growing farther.
Dan Griffey shared-
"We need real leadership in Olympia. A sustainable budget was not passed this year. It was a wait and see...cross you fingers and hope for the best budget, that now is projected to be over 1.4 … (4 comments)

washington state: Dan Griffey goes for the House in the 35th! - 12/20/09 10:13 AM
 
We have reached a time once again in our nation that we must stand up to what is going on all around us. Most of us can say that we would like things to be different, that times are tough and that once again we are going to be calling on our children to pay off a debt that they did not create. There are those among us who are not just speaking out, but are stepping up. They have decided to put their lives on hold for the greater good of us all. One of them is Daniel Glen … (11 comments)

washington state: Save Your Home! - 03/05/09 11:03 AM
Maybe you can make your mortgage payment today, but can you next month? Does it feel like you are running out of options? There is help.
I have been searching sites today to see what there is out there to help struggling home owners. There are many sites out there and a lot of advice being thrown around. It is hard to sift through it all to find what is best for you. Depending on your situation there may be several options.
One that I think is worth considering is loan modification. It may not be a permanent fix, but it should … (2 comments)
