Trendy Bathroom Upgrades for a Quick Sell
2. Lighted vanity mirror Home improvement stores, design studios and online retailers carry a variety of lighted vanities in shapes, sizes, styles and light sources (LED, CFL or incandescent) to suit virtually every taste. Installing one is a simple do-it-yourself job that has a big impact on a bathroom’s appearance and usability.
4. Towel warmers Wall-mounted or free-standing, plugin or hard-wired, all towel warmers work the same way; heated bars warm towels hung on the rack, providing a cozy, warm towel every time you bathe. Plug-in versions install easily, while hard-wired ones may require professional installation.
5. Shower foot rest Foot rests are an economical improvement. Some suctioncup styles cost under $20. For a more refined look or enhanced sturdiness, it’s possible to find one that anchors into the wall through screws, or a style built into shower surrounds. If you’re redoing your shower stall, it’s the perfect time to add a stylish, sturdy foot rest.

3. Double-flush toilet Dual-flush toilets use only the water you need to get the job done, so they contribute positively to a home’s overall footprint and can help save on water bills. They’re a lower-cost upgrade, and even more cost-effective when installed by a savvy DIYer.

1. Skylights In rooms where privacy is a c o n c e r n , skylights can provide both natural light and ventilation. They’re beautiful, endowing bathrooms with a major “wow” factor, and practical. Energy Star-qualified no-leak, solar-powered fresh-air skylights can help trim electricity costs by providing natural light and passively venting moist, warm air from the room.

A recent poll on Houzz, a popular home design website, asked consumers what bathroom improvements they desire most. Many of the answers were both luxurious and affordable, and others were downright simple changes to make.

Top Tips to Increase Curb Appeal Through Your Outdoor Patio by Courtney Soinski
Increasing your home’s curb appeal does not have to be difficult or stressful.
Check out these top tips to increase curb appeal through your outdoor patio.
1. Outdoor Materials
4. Outdoor Kitchen
Before you begin redecorating your outdoor patio, you should figure out what material is best for you, as it can affect the overall style and feel of your house. The style you bring to the outdoors should reflect the style of your house’s interior space. If you’re not sure what material to use, concrete works well with most spaces.
An outdoor kitchen with a grill and eating area can make your outdoor patio an ideal spot for the social homebuyer and also increases your home’s curb appeal.
2. Covered or Uncovered Space You should decide whether you want shade or let the sun shine into your outdoor patio. If you want some shade, you can add a trellis, awning, pergola or arbor for a distinguished outdoor look.
5. Furniture Dining al fresco is easy with simple patio furniture for your outdoor space, and it also creates a comfortable feel. Be sure that you use furniture and materials that are waterproof so that nothing on your outdoor patio gets damaged.
By taking advantage of these top tips, you can easily create a great

Interior Home Design in the Lap of Luxury by Courtney Soinski
Designing your home for lavish living may not be as hard as you think. In fact, by the end of this article, you’ll be able to turn a boring living room or bedroom into a luxury retreat. There are so many expert design ideas out there, so it’s easy to become overwhelmed. To make it easier on you, the homeowner, we have compiled a list of our favorite ideas and projects to turn your home into the lap of luxury.
Here are some top expert decorating ideas for your next home project.

1. Haute Headboards Utilizing luxurious fabric and fine details on your bed’s headboard will set it apart from all the rest. Whether it’s a specialized construction or custom upholstery, your headboard adds the finishing touch in the bedroom by bringing all design elements together.
2. Serene Window Seat Adding or sprucing up the window seat in your home is a great way to add some elegance. Remember to keep it simple by sticking with shades of ivory or various monochromatic hues. You can also drape curtains framed by crown molding for a dramatic effect.
3. Sophisticated Storage When it comes to storing your belongings, the most important thing to remember is to keep them hidden. If you don’t have enough closet space, a nice piece of furniture like an armoire or dresser will do the trick.
4. Luxurious Lighting Whether you have pretty sconces in the bedroom, contemporary pendant fixtures in the living room, or a glamorous chandelier in the dining room, these lovely accents will brighten up your home in the most luxurious way.
5. Fabulous Flooring
>>>
Although accents do hold high importance in decorating the most luxurious home, don’t forget about what’s under your feet. From all types of hardwood like Eucalyptus and Koa Hardwood, to tile flooring and area rugs, there are many options for you to choose from. Which one is right for your home’s style?

Selling? 5 Marketing Tips from Top Agents by Courtney Soinski
1. Good photography In many instances, buyers see photos of your home before they see your home, and the best photos will drive both interest and traffic to your house.
2. Don’t rely on the web to sell your home Lots of people shop on the web for homes, and there are lots of homes on the web. Stats say that 65 million shop for homes in the U.S. every month. However, only 5 million homes are sold in the U.S. every year. It’s a very crowded space, and your home should be on as many sites as possible. However, it shouldn’t be the only tactic you use to sell your home.
3. Make sure your agent includes mobile technology in your marketing plan Today, we rely on our phones to look up everything, including real estate. Your home should have a marketing plan that includes
mobile tools as a significant element. For example, your home should have a yard sign with a text code on it so that potential buyers driving by can look it up on their phone right away.
4. Market your home offline – locally. Good agents know where potential buyers of your home live, work, shop and play. They use local real estate publications, targeted direct mail, brochures, and other tools to interrupt the day of the local homebuyer.
5. Keep your home looking good Part of the marketing plan for your home is in your court. This includes how potential buyers perceive it when they walk through the door. Living in a home and keeping it ready to show is a challenge, but it will pay off when buyers find your home more attractive than others they may be considering.
Put simply, don’t wait around for homebuyers to find you. Get out there and find them through advertising – both online and offline.

Let’s Get Creative with DIY Home Hacks! by Courtney Soinski New home projects and maintaining your home can be tough. That’s why we’ve come up with some fun shortcuts you can do yourself in no time!
1. Door knobs for towel hangers Although unconventional, doorknobs make great towel hangers in the bathroom. They look stylish, too!
2. Use an old laundry basket to paint walls with polka dots Think again before you throw out that broken laundry basket! You can use it to easily paint perfect polka dots on your walls for some extra flair.
3. Lint-free window cleaning with newspaper Say goodbye to lint remnants left on your windows after cleaning them. Newspaper does the trick!
4. Bread Tie Power Cord Labels Keep your cords organized by labeling them with bread clips!
5. Use a candle on drawers for easier gliding It’s time to fix that sticky drawer! Rub a cheap votive candle on a drawer glide to help smooth operation and reduce wear.

Before you go crazy, it is important to note that using a credit card and keeping a balance on one are two totally different matters. Running up a bill that you don't pay in full won't help you build credit. That being said, this tip takes discipline, but it's an easy way to improve a poor credit score if you pay your card off monthly. We suggest using it for things like gas that you will pay off on a monthly basis. 2. Get a prepaid credit card. If you don't trust yourself to use a credit card wisely or just don't want one, then you should get a prepaid credit card. This gives you a way to use a credit card without the temptation of

Both homeowners and real estate professionals know how important it is to have a good credit score. You may wonder how much of an impact it can have on your life - well, we're here to answer that question. A good credit score will mean that you qualify for the best loans, rates and terms. This great advantage will gradually save you money through reduced rates over the lifespan of a loan. Gerri Deweiler, a Director of Consumer Education, sums it up perfectly: "An excellent credit score equals money in your pocket."
running up debt. This will only allow you to spend the amount you have placed on the card and no more. 3. Be patient. Although it is difficult, it's important that you understand the process of repairing you credit won't happen overnight. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to your credit score. 4. Check your credit score. It is very important that you understand that your credit report is accurate. So, checking the three credit bureaus on a regular basis is wise. These include Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You want to know if anything incorrect is on your credit report so you can fix the situation before it damages your credit.
