🔑 If this has happened to you, don’t take it personally as there could be any number of reasons the seller wasn’t able to accept it.

Common reasons a seller might reject your purchase offer

1. Your purchase offer is too low
Give a purchase offer lower than the list price and it’ll more than likely be rejected.

2. Your or your selling agent’s attitude leaves a lot to be desired
If you or your agent are aggressive, rude, or otherwise unprofessional, the seller and/or listing agent is inclined to ignore you or reject your purchase offer altogether.

3. The listing agent represents both parties
Unless your offer is dramatically better than the buyer’s sharing the listing agent, it’s likely it will be rejected.

4. Your purchase offer doesn’t meet the seller’s needs
The more you understand about purchase offers and their conditions, the more likely yours will be accepted right away in the future.

🚪 Is your entryway looking a bit cramped these days?

🛋️ Give it a quick facelift by getting rid of the clutter. Try this easy and quick decluttering exercise to whip your entryway back into shape.

1. Declutter The Entryway Fast
It should be a functional space that sees you off in the morning and welcomes you back at the end of the day. Start removing garbage and unnecessary items from tabletops, shelves, drawers, cubbies, etc.'

2. Things To Be On The Lookout For
As you’re deciding what goes and what stays, be on the lookout for the following items and either put them where they belong in the entryway or place them in your basket for later.

🏠 Buying a new home and closing the deal can be an exciting and somewhat confusing time, be sure you consider the following information to help you close the real estate deal.

Obtain pre-approval for a loan
While not necessary for actually closing on a property, being pre-approved for a loan does help it close faster.

Lock in an interest rate
Not locking in a favorable rate ahead of time can leave you at the mercy of the market once you do decide on a property.

Get the home inspected
If any major issues are identified during a home inspection, the sellers will need to address them before the home can become yours.

Don’t be afraid to negotiate the purchase price
Should your inspection turn up any problems that you’ll need to fix yourself, don’t be afraid to re-negotiate the price.

✨Unique Circumstances That Could Make Your Home Worth More

1. Living Close To Starbucks
It’s obvious we love our coffee, but did you know that if your house is located within a quarter-mile of a Starbucks, it could be worth quite a bit more?

2. Kitchens And Bathrooms Painted In Shades Of Blue
Why is blue worth so much more? Potential buyers tend to see cool neutrals like blue and gray as signs the house is well cared for and maybe includes special features.

3. Trendy Features
While the term “trendy” indicates the features are popular in the short-term, if your house includes something popular at the time you’re selling it, it can potentially increase its value.

💚 Paint color analysis to impress homebuyers
How to choose the right paint color that can impress homebuyers

Are neutral colors the answer?
Each color has the ability to generate either positive or negative feelings. It’s important then, to choose a color that not only enhances the appearance of your home but also evokes positive emotions.

What do primary colors say?

Reds: although the color red is a strong color with a reputation for boosting self-confidence, it can be overwhelming for homebuyers.

Blues: almost every shade of blue instills a positive impression.

Yellows: yellow is a great color because it boosts brain function, stimulates intelligence, and enhances focus.

How do homebuyers perceive secondary colors?

Oranges: orange is a positive color as its cheerful nature is associated with celebration and youth.

Purples: add an elite vibe to your home by painting the walls purple.

Greens: shades of green tend to evoke feelings of wealth.

🌟 Remodeling your kitchen?

👍 Kitchen cabinets can be expensive, but here are several ways to find cheap – or even free – kitchen cabinets.

1. Cheap And Free Kitchen Cabinets From Local Groups And/or Lists
The Internet makes it very easy to connect with other like-minded people in your area, and many homeowners doing remodels use the internet to advertise gently used items like furniture, clothing – and yes – kitchen cabinets.

2. Habitat For Humanity Restore
With hundreds of stores nationwide, there’s probably a ReStore near you, and because kitchen cabinets take up a lot of precious space, you’re likely to find them at jaw-droppingly low prices.

3. Commercial Salvage Yards
Commercial salvage yards are where gently used pieces of houses go to find new forever homes.

4. Ikea
Ikea kitchen cabinets come flat-packed and ready to assemble, which is easy to do.

5. Showroom Display Cabinets
If you’re patient and take the time to notice, you might find showroom display cabinets on sale at a discounted price.

🛋️ As such a vital part of the home, the living room should be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable.

👇 The following stunning ways to decorate your living room give you several ideas for making your own living room a wonderful place to be.

1. Patriotic Décor

Neutral walls and flooring make the perfect backdrop for red and blue furniture and wall décor.

2. Shades Of Blue

Shades of blue and a wealth of patterns make any living room seem like a piece of willow patterned dinnerware. White walls and white carpeting complement a blue and white floral couch, while blue and white drapes adorn the windows

3. Rural Charm

If modern isn’t your thing, maybe something a little more rural will suit you better. Combined with apron sinks, tin sconces, simple furniture, and an equally simple chandelier, this living room screams country charm and inviting warmth.

4. Bring The Beach Inside

Bringing the beach inside instills a feeling of sun and fun all year long. You can recreate this feeling in your own living room by using shades of blue and beige throughout and accenting with beach-inspired artwork.

5. Vaulted Ceilings

Large windows and/or large patio doors complement the overall feel of the room with tons of natural light.

6. Lots Of Color And Prints

Keep the walls neutral and light while keeping colors complementary to each other. If you choose pastels, for one thing, stick with pastels throughout.

7. Darks And Lights

Instead of making the room appear smaller as dark colors tend to do, this combination creates depth and character that’s hard to ignore.

😮 Are you living in a small apartment?

😉 If so, here are a few tips to help you get the most of your space, so it feels less cluttered.

1. Hang Everything You Can
Most people don’t consider the empty space at the top of a room to be valuable storage space, but it is.

2. Invest In A Queen Murphy Bed
When not in use, the Queen Murphy bed folds up into a cabinet, freeing up valuable floor space. .

3. Use Your Corners Properly
Do yourself a favor and get yourself furniture that’ll fit into the corners of your apartment. It’ll give you the workspace you need without taking up a lot of room.

4. Buy Exposed-legged Furniture
You may not be partial to exposed-legged furniture, but the storage space it provides will be worth it.

🖌️ Want to paint a room in your home but aren’t sure what color is best? Painting a room in your home is exciting, but it can also be a little nerve-wracking.

🎨 There are so many colors to choose from, it’s hard to decide which will work best. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right color for any room!

1. Choose the paint color last. If you’re painting an empty room, wait until you’ve chosen all the furniture and other accessories before choosing the paint color.

2. Don’t rely on the paint chip. Instead of trusting the paint chip, take actual paint samples home, paint a larger area of the wall, and decide based on that.

3. Give it a few days. By checking the color in all types of light, you’ll find out if you really like the color and what kind of adjustments (lighter or darker), if any, it needs to be just right.

4. Thinking white? If you think trying to decide on a color is tough, wait until you have to choose the perfect shade of white. Whites in their various hues are a great choice for woodwork and trim because they make your colors pop.

✨ Could your bathroom use a little more storage?

😌 Here’s an easy over-the-toilet shelving tutorial that’ll add storage as well as interest to your bathroom.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather all the tools and materials you’ll need for this project, so you won’t need to go rummaging for something in the middle of your work.

Step 2: Determine How High To Hang Shelves
Ideally, you want your shelves to be high enough you won’t bump your head when sitting on the toilet and low enough it isn’t awkward to reach the things on the shelves.

Step 3: Install The Shelf Brackets
You’ll want to ensure that the brackets are equally spaced along the shelf and from the walls on either side.

Step 4: Sand/paint/stain The Shelves
If you’ll be staining or painting the shelves, do it now before you install them on the brackets.

Step 5: Place The Shelves On The Brackets
The last step is to lay the shelves on the brackets and secure them from underneath.

🔍 If you’re looking to rent a new apartment, pay close attention to the tips below to avoid becoming a victim of an apartment rental scam.

1. The landlord wants money before you’ve even seen the apartment
If the landlord wants you to send money before you’ve even met him in person or seen the apartment, it’s a sign the rental isn’t legit.

2. The landlord seems too eager
Most landlords conduct credit checks at the very least. Many go further with background and employment checks as well.

3. The security deposit or upfront fees seem too high
If the security deposit seems higher than it should be, or other upfront fees seem outrageous to you, it could mean the landlord simply wants to make off with your money.

4. The landlord is pushy
If the landlord seems too pushy or you feel pressured into renting the apartment, be leery of his motives.

5. The landlord says you don’t need an attorney
If the landlord tries to dissuade you from having your attorney review the lease, it’s probably because he doesn’t really own the apartment or has already leased it to another tenant.

6. There’s no lease
If the landlord tries to take money from you without discussing the possibility of a lease, it could mean he doesn’t even have one to show you.

7. There’s always an excuse
If the landlord always has an excuse for why he can’t meet you or isn’t able to show you the apartment, take it as a warning sign and look elsewhere for a place to rent.
