One of my favorite parts of real estate is watching buyers slowly make a house feel like home.
Sometimes it’s paint colors, changing light fixtures, adding wallpaper, or starting small renovation projects over time. I especially love when people add personality with pops of color through pillows, rugs, and window treatments.
I recently had a client looking at a new construction home who was talking about using a window tint where people couldn’t see in, but he could still see out, so he wouldn’t need window treatments at all. I thought that was such an interesting idea because everyone approaches making a home feel comfortable so differently.
With Memorial Day and the 4th of July coming up, it’s actually a great time to look for sales too. A lot of people slowly personalize their home over time instead of trying to do everything at once.
You buy a house, but it really becomes a home as you make it your own and start creating memories there.
What was the first thing you changed after buying your home?
