ready when visiting potential lenders.

Many mortgage lenders will want to see some recent pay stubs (from both borrowers if buying with a spouse or partner), a couple years’ worth of W-2s and tax returns, as well as your recent bank statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. Having these materials ready in advance means you will spend less time at the bank and more time finding the right home for you.

• Secure financing before you begin house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer.

• Work with a local real estate agent. Real estate agents are an invaluable resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never before purchased a home. Agents can help firsttime buyers navigate the often confusing and, at times, disappointing process of buying a home. Choose an agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of additional issues that first-time buyers may not think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease first-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes.

A home is the biggest purchase many people will ever make. First-time buyers may be intimidated as they begin searching for their homes, but there are several ways to make the process go smoothly.

Lighten Up

Let there be color

By Tresa Erickson Generally, the lighter the paint color, the airier and more open a room will feel. Some rooms, however, look dark no matter how light the color on the walls. Basement rooms, in particular, can be dull and dreary. How do you lighten up a room when the paint on the walls in not the issue?

Let there be light Light is one of the easiest ways to make a dark room brighter. Study the lighting in the room. Where could you add more? Could you light up a dark corner with a floor lamp or add more task lighting with a table lamp behind the sofa? If you’ve got the budget, you might want to replace all old light fixtures. At the very least you should replace the light bulbs with brighter, more efficient ones. Does the room have windows? Use them. Throw open the blinds or drapes and give the windows a good cleaning to let in as much natural light as possible. You might also want to look into adding some skylights to the room.

Let there be space Nothing can make a room feel darker and more closed in than clutter. Take stock of the contents of the room. Is there anything you no longer need or want? Get rid of it!

Have a yard sale or make a donation. Pay particular attention to the furniture in the room. The more pieces in the room, the tighter it will feel. Donate or sell what you don’t need and give the room space to breathe.

arvind SUND

You may have a light color on the walls, but what about elsewhere? Caramel-colored sofas and chairs set against caramel-colored walls will make the room look dark and drab. While replacing the furniture might not be in your budget, adding some colorful accessories should not cost you too much. You can shop for inexpensive accessories or pull them from other parts of your home. Sheets make great slipcovers and a vase of flowers from the yard will really perk up the fireplace mantel. Add some colorful throw pillows, books and prints, and a rug underfoot, and you might be surprised by how much lighter the room feels.

Let there be personality Does the room speak to you and your tastes? Could someone walk into the room and learn something about you? No? Time to change that. Think about what you love most and find a way to incorporate it into the room. Do you love to travel? Display some vacation mementos or photos. Do you love animals? Bring in some of your favorite animal photos or statues. Give the room some personality, and it will feel brighter.

Let there be music Music can dramatically change the feel of a room and help you see it in a different light. Bring in a radio or stereo and turn it on often.

Making a room feel brighter doesn’t always require a complete remodel. The simplest of changes can make a world of difference. Give these suggestions a try and see what happens. That once dark, unappealing room might just become your favorite place to be.

HEATHERTON

Homeowners hoping to expand their homes are faced with a number of choices. One of the first they will have to make is which direction to take their expansion. Homeowners can choose to expand horizontally, increasing the footprint of their homes, or vertically.

Professionals urge prospective remodelers to consider the pros and cons to each expansion option, including which direction to build.

One of the first considerations is land space. Building horizontally will cut into yard space that you may have already earmarked for a pool, shed or another feature. Proximity to neighbors and the dimensions of your property will also help to determine if expanding horizontally is a good idea.

Building codes and neighborhood requirements also must be considered before making any renovations. Some municipalities may have rules in place that govern renovations. Add-ons may not be allowed to exceed certain height limits, nor may structures be built within a certain number of feet of property lines.

Homeowners who choose to build upward will have to contend with work crews and other staff being in their homes.

Raising the roof may require vacating the premises at a certain point. Also, extensive renovation work will be needed on the lower level of the home, whether it’s to

CUSTOM BUILT ESTATE IN LAKE ROAD AREA

shore up the structure, clean up after the renovation or repair ceilings, drywall and other components where levels meet.

It may seem easier to expand outward, but this requires laying additional foundation for the new building structure. Bringing in digging equipment and masons can be costly. When you build vertically, such foundation work may not be necessary if your home is structurally sound and can bear the weight of the addition.

Building out typically involves the least disruption to your life and the existing space. Homeowners should keep in mind that any renovation will require permits or variances. In addition, if the project increases the value of the home, home insurance costs and property taxes may rise. Only after all considerations have been weighed should a project begin.
