DARK VS. LIGHT KITCHENS
White kitchens have been ‘in’ for some time now, however a new trend has been starting to emerge. Dark, and more specifically, black kitchens. Despite what you may assume at first, black kitchens can still look and feel very spacious. The dark colours lend themselves to a sleek and modern look, giving off a luxurious vibe. On the other hand, white kitchens still have their place. The clean look and airy feel of white kitchens has captured the hearts of many and they definitely won’t be disappearing any time soon. With lots of white kitchen options being readily available at hardware stores, white seems to remain the prevailing trend.

Should You Sell Your Current Home Before Buying A New One? Ah, the age-old question of what to do first. Many are at a loss when it comes to making the decision to as to what order you should complete the real estate transaction in. Should you sell your current home before buying a new one or vice versa? There are many ways to look at this and quite often it’s a real estate catch-22, but there is a solution that we believe poses the most benefits to our clients. Here’s how we would approach the situation. Gain Market Experience: Let’s get out there and actively begin viewing homes in your price range. This will give you an idea of what’s on the market in your desired locations. Once you’re comfortable and confident with the options on the market and know that it’s the right time for you to move, we’ll begin working to get your home sold. The reasoning for this is that most seller’s don’t like to entertain offers that have conditions regarding the sale of the buyers home, as it puts them in at risk of their sale not going through and can jeopardize their subsequent real estate transactions. Selling Your Home For Top Dollar: Before we start making offers on your future home, we’ll put all of our energy into getting your home on the market and sold for top dollar. Plus, when entertaining offers, we’ll aim to get the longest closing date we can so that you have time to find your next home. This approach is of huge benefit to you as the seller, since you now know exactly how much you have to spend on your next home. And, you aren’t rushing to sell your current home so you won’t find yourself in a position to take the first offer that comes across the table.
The What Ifs: In real estate, we always hope for the best and prepare for the worst. It’s always good to have contingency plans in mind in the event that things don’t work out as you’d hoped. If you chose to buy your next home before selling your current, it’s a good idea to look into bridge financing to ensure that you can carry both mortgages while you wait for the sale of your home. If you’re selling first, it’s a great idea to set a plan just in case you’re not finding a suitable option on the market. This can include securing your belongings in a storage unit while you stay with family or in a hotel (depending on the overlap). We can also help you look into short-term rentals to bridge the gap between your home closing and finding the next property of your dreams. Buying and selling always go smoother when you have an experienced agent on your side. Ready to sell your current home and upgrade to your next? Let’s work together – you can leave all the heavy lifting to us.
3 Considerations When Selling Your Home This Spring. Welcome to spring. The season where buyers seemingly flood the market looking for the perfect property. Here are a few points that will help you set a strategy for selling your home this spring. Purge and De-personalize: When selling your home, the most important rule that you can follow is to purge of unnecessary furniture, clutter, and do away with the majority of personal items. A tried and true strategy for selling your home is to allow buyers to envision themselves living there. This is next to impossible to achieve if there are personal mementos left, right and center. Set the tone for your home by switching out family photos for neutral artwork and swapping a bold wall colour for a softer pallet.
Bonus tip: Rent a storage unit before putting your home on the market. This will allow you additional space to store any unnecessary belongings and unneeded furniture so that your home feels open, airy and welcoming for its new owner. Strategize With Your Agent: Even though spring is one of the hottest seasons in the real estate market, you will still need to approach your listing with the right strategy. This is where working with the right agent comes in. Your real estate agent will work with you to determine how to highlight your homes best features so that it shows with an A+ rating. They’ll also help to determine the optimal price point to list your home at. Pricing is the most crucial factor in selling your home. While meeting your financial needs, the price should be fair and competitive. Too high and you will deter buyers, too low and buyers might be scared off by thinking that the low price is hiding deeper underlying issues. Leave The Emotion Out Of It: We know that selling your home is a highly emotional process, but it also one that needs you to think with a clear head. Real estate transactions are a business matter and emotionally driven decisions can cause misstep that may jeopardize your sale. You need to be realistic about what your home’s value is, what the flaws of your home are and what the features are. Working with an agent you trust can help immensely in making this transaction go smooth, but ultimately you need to be open to price adjustments, compromises and bumps in the road. At Team Dorani, your comfort and confidence in the selling process is our first concern. We’ll work hand-in-hand with you to have your home sold for the best possible price in a time-frame that works for you. Let’s talk!
