July 17 recognizes World Emoji Day and many of the world's symbolic icons for digital calendars. This day encourages us to use emojis to send unique messages. 🎉💬

Before the emoji, there were emoticons. Emoticons (emotion + icon) were developed to express emotions in the cold, hard texts that were devoid of them. 😊➡️😃

Emoji, a Japanese expression, roughly means "picture word" and was created by Shigetaka Kurita in 1990. While working for the Japanese telecom company NTT Docomo, Kurita designed these picture words as a feature on their pagers to make them more appealing to teens. 📱👨‍🎨🖼️

One of my favorite emojis is the 🦊 (fox) and 🌈 (rainbow)! What's yours? Share your favorite emoji in the comments! 👇

It's National Homeowners Insurance Awareness Day!

Homeowners insurance is a vital shield for your home, but do you know what it truly covers? Let's test your knowledge! 💡 True or False: Homeowners insurance typically covers damage caused by floods and earthquakes. 🌊🌍 This statement is False. While homeowners insurance provides coverage for various risks, it typically does not automatically cover damage caused by floods and earthquakes. Instead, these types of natural disasters often require separate insurance policies.

🏡 Let's play "Two Truths and a Lie: Real Estate Edition"! 🕵️‍♂️ Can you spot the fib? 1️⃣ The average time to sell a home in the U.S. is 69 days. 2️⃣ Staging your home can increase its sale price by 10-20%. 3️⃣ All real estate agents work on a fixed commission rate. The lie is: 3️⃣ All real estate agents work on a fixed commission rate. All real estate agents do not work on a fixed commission rate. Commission rates can vary based on factors such as the brokerage, the agent's experience, and the specific agreement between the agent and the client. Some agents may work on a fixed percentage commission, while others may negotiate different arrangements. SOURCE NAR: https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/quick-real-estate-statistics

🏡✋ When staging your home, stop overlooking the importance of neutralizing the decor! While bold colors and unique styles can reflect your personality, they might not appeal to every potential buyer. Instead, opt for neutral tones and classic decor to create a blank canvas that allows buyers to envision their own style in the space. Neutralizing your decor helps create a welcoming atmosphere and increases the likelihood of a successful sale. Ready to transform your home into a buyer's dream? Let's neutralize and mesmerize potential buyers together! 💼✨ #540
