What is virtual staging, you ask? ⁣
⁣
Virtual staging is a tool realtors like to use to position a home that’s for sale in its best possible light. Using digital photos of the property, a realtor will employ photo editing software to digitally arrange one room or even the entire house. ⁣
⁣
Like traditional staging, anything can be added from artwork and rugs to beds, tables, and sofas. But instead of lugging real furniture in and out, it can all be done with the click of a button! Even better? It costs just a fraction of what you'd spend on traditional staging.⁣
⁣
Thinking about selling and wondering if virtual staging could save you time, money, and a pesky backache? Let’s connect and find out!⁣

If you need us, we'll be over here obsessing over this bathroom 😍⁣
⠀⁣
If you're like us and ready to tackle a complete bathroom makeover, here are some 2021 bath trends to include that are sure to leave you with a five-star experience all your own. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
1. Floating vanities. Sleek, stylish, and oh so many storage options! Not to mention, it makes cleaning bathroom floors a breeze. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2. Large wall tiles. Say goodbye to tiny mosaic tiles and hello to large-format tiles. These create a minimalist appearance, an air of luxury, and are a fun way to implement patterns and texture. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3. Back-lit mirrors. According to Houzz, 77% of homeowners will install new mirrors after a move or during a bath reno. Most are choosing backlit mirrors to add a focal point and modern design. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
What are some must haves in your dream bathroom? we'd love to know!

Can a real estate agent represent both the buyer and the seller?⁣
Short answer? Yes. But there are a few things you’ll want to think through before going this route:⁣
⁣
1. When you hire an agent to work just one side of the transaction, you get a “fiduciary relationship.” What this means is your agent has the responsibility to uphold your best interests in good faith. Translation: Your agent is looking out for you and you alone.⁣
⁣
2. When you work with an agent on both sides of the transaction, you forego this benefit. Called a “dual agency,” the agent represents both you and the other party (buyer and seller) and is supposed to remain neutral to both parties' interests. Because of this, dual agents tend to leave the buyer and the seller hashing out the details of the sale without the benefit of an agent’s expertise and advice.⁣
⁣
While it may work in special circumstances, the most common arrangement is for each party to have their own agent looking out for their best interest. ⁣
⁣
After all, at the end of the day, whether you're buying or selling, you want to walk away knowing you received the FULL advantage of working with a professional and knowledgeable agent.⁣

Today is Earth Day — a day to remember how fragile our planet is and how important it is to protect it. This year’s theme: Restore Our Earth.⁣
⁣
We often wonder how little-ole-me can do anything meaningful or significant enough to make a difference. Truth is, by myself, I really can’t. But as we band together in small ways our impact will surely multiply! ⁣
⁣
Here are 10 things if we all committed to at home would have a tremendous impact on our planet: ⁣
⁣
• Select appliances with high energy-efficiency ratings.⁣
• Repair leaky faucets (Five drips a minute equals 262 gallons a year!).⁣
• Use reusable grocery bags.⁣
• Consider a drip irrigation system.⁣
• Clean refrigerator coils.⁣
• Use cold water when washing clothes (HE washers and modern detergents make hot water optional.)⁣
• Purchase wool dryer balls (these are amazing!).⁣
• Unsubscribe from catalogs and junk mail lists.⁣
• Set your printer to print two-sided.⁣
• Bump the thermostat down. (68 degrees is the most energy-efficient temp in the winter; 78 in the summer.) ⁣
⁣
Join us in celebrating Earth Day right at home in the smallest of ways! And as always, please reach out if we can help or serve YOU in any way.⁣

Renovating an entire kitchen can feel like a monumental project — and it is! So if you're not quite ready for the full shebang, transform your space quickly and for little cost with a kitchen island makeover.⁣
⁣
Not only is your island the focal point of your kitchen, but it's also a multifunctional space that can be fully customized to your liking! Then, when the time comes for the full kitchen renovation, you can use it to inspire the rest of your design.⁣
⁣
Here are a few ways to rework your island space:⁣
⁣
1. Paint the island cabinets an accent color to bring in a fresh feel and add some dimension.⁣
2. Go for an entirely new look and add a waterfall counter that makes your island a showpiece.⁣
3. Redesign and give your island an asymmetrical shape that adds a unique look while providing plenty of storage and seating. ⁣
⁣
If you go for it, take before-and-after photos –we'd love to see 'em!

Should you wait for a lower mortgage interest rate?⠀⁣
⠀⁣
This is a question we've been getting a lot lately, especially as interest rates have reached record lows over the past year. So, should you wait for them to go even lower before buying? Here's what you need to know:⠀⁣
⠀⁣
1. As rates are projected to increase in 2021, it is wise to take advantage of the low interest rates that are available now.⠀⁣
2. The combination of increasing interest rates and home prices impacts the overall cost of purchasing a home. A higher rate = a higher monthly payment, since your interest rate is worked into your monthly cost.⠀⁣
3. It's better to act now rather than wait for future rate declines that may never come. ⠀⁣
4. If you've found a home that fits your needs and your budget, don't wait! You will certainly benefit from taking advantage of the current rates. ⠀⁣

Refresh (v.) to give new strength or energy to; reinvigorate⁣
⁣
“Renovate” feels like the cooler big sister, but often, all a space needs is a little refresh — fresh paint, new furniture arrangement, deep decluttering, different light fixtures, or seasonal throw pillows. ⁣
⁣
As Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says, “Don’t do nothing because you can’t do everything. Do something!”⁣
⁣
So, how would you finish this sentence? A room in my house that needs a refresh is...⁣

Did your listing expire? Wondering what happens next? ⁣
⁣
Good news — you’ve got options! ⁣
⁣
Remember, an expired listing is a listing that hasn’t sold by the end of the term stated in the contract with your agent (typically, six months). If this happens to your home, you have several options:⁣
⁣
Option 1: Stick with your current agent⁣
Option 2: Hire a new agent with a different firm⁣
Option 3: Decide not to sell at this time⁣
⁣
For options 1 and 2, your property will have to be relisted and a new listing created on the MLS. Be sure to talk openly with your agent and let him or her know how you’re feeling and what you’d like to do differently as you relist. Don't forget —your agent is there to serve YOU and should work hard to make the process easy and enjoyable!⁣

I'm often asked what I expect will happen in the upcoming months in the real estate market. While I don't have a crystal ball, here are a few reasons you can expect 2021 to remain off the charts:⠀⁣
⠀⁣
1. Limited inventory. Many areas are experiencing housing shortages. Having more buyers than sellers creates a strong market, and typically offers at or above asking. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2. Under-construction. All around the US, homes are currently being built by MILLIONS. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3. Record equity markets and stimulus money. Not only does it make people wealthier, but it also makes them feel richer. Moods often fuel markets as much as money does. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4. High demand! As millennials come of age to buy, demand continues to increase exponentially. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5. The optimism of spring! Spring markets fuel optimism, hope, and renewal. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
If you're looking to buy or sell, now is the time! Send me a message and let's get the ball rolling.

Warmer temps got thoughts of a home garden on the brain? Here are three tips if you're a newbie gardener:⁣
⁣
1. Start small. If you’ve never gardened before, start small and learn the ropes of planting, watering, fertilizing, and picking. If all goes well, go big next year!⁣
2. Consider a theme. Love Chinese cuisine? Focus on snow peas, radishes, cucumbers, cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, and bean sprouts. Sucker for fresh salsa (I mean, really, who isn’t?) Think tomatoes, sweet peppers, chili peppers, onions, tomatillos, and celery (and don't forget the cilantro and cumin).⁣
3. Plan for pests. Deer, raccoons, rabbits, and other pests love veggies just as much as you do. Ask neighbors or local garden center experts the easiest way to keep your garden pest-free.⁣
⁣
Did you know a home garden is not only magnificent for the taste buds but can also reduce stress and fend off the blues? If you’re on the fence, we say, go for it!⁣
