You need every advantage you can find to get your home … (6 comments)
home selling: Value of a Home Warranty
- 07/24/14 12:37 PM
A home warranty is peace of mind when purchasing a new house. In most house purchases, the seller pays for a home warranty for the buyer. It protects the buyer against the high costs of unexpected failures in the home's major systems and appliances. With a home warranty, you don't have to worry about finding an honest, qualified repair company--because they select and send the repairman. And you don't have to worry about what the bill will be--because the home warranty company pays to repair or replace the covered item--you only pay a small service call fee! Once you purchase your … (2 comments)

home selling: It is all yours!
- 03/02/14 07:52 PM
The main reason to buy a home is that it is all yours! You can paint it. You can put up pictures. You can improve it your way. You can install new appliances. You can renovate with new carpets or hardwood floors. You can add a patio and barbecue in the back yard. Go ahead and decorate, remodel, or add on an extra room for your expanding family.

home selling: Kitchen Counters
- 02/25/14 04:39 PM
The shiny polished look of granite is being edged out by honed granite which sports a matte finish. Today’s trendy glass tile and recycled crafted glass surfaces are quickly replacing the standard ceramic tile counter tops. Other recycled materials include concrete, paper, plastic, and other composites. Laminate solid surfaces, such as Formica®, mimic the high end look of travertine at a fraction of the cost. The simple contemporary styling of Staron (acrylic) and Radianz (quartz) can lend a luxurious personal touch. Other custom solid surfaces include Avonite, Swanstone, and Corian®. A butcher block counter hand-crafted from solid wood doubles as a cutting board … (6 comments)

- 02/19/14 11:16 PM
Decadent cabinets define a high caliber kitchen. Kitchen designer Carla Leiran looks for sophisticated knobs and pulls with complementary matching hinges, and detailed features such as finishing touches of crown molding above cabinets. “It’s the small details that make a big difference in a high end kitchen,” she says. Upscale cabinet finishes range from solid wood (favorites are cherry, maple, oak, and pine) to laminate and lacquered cabinets. Innovative cabinets include slide-out shelves, spice rack pullouts, and self-closing drawers. A “drawer in drawer” is a mini drawer, similar to a drawer insert, that’s tucked inside of a large drawer. It’s perfect for … (0 comments)
Leased land or rented land? Manufactured homes on leased land are less expensive. They are less valuable because you only own your “coach” and not the land. You will have to pay monthly rent to the land owner. The rent may be limited by rent control, or it may be costly, depending on the specific mobile home park. Manufactured homes on owned land, on the other hand, cost more because they include the land. Instead of paying rent, you will pay monthly HOA dues to the Home Owners Association, which is much … (0 comments)

- 02/13/14 11:04 PM
A comfortable kitchen layout sets the atmosphere and determines the workflow. Spacious U-shaped and circular shaped kitchens offer more cooking room, counter space, and often a breakfast bar. L-shaped counters are often combined with an island or peninsula. Traditional galley layouts are being scrapped in favor of bright, open kitchens that allow cooks and guests to chat while preparing meals and entertaining. A lavish kitchen is uniquely custom designed with a well-appointed layout. To find out more, here's our book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQDM034
