When choosing the type of light bulb, it is important to know that although fluorescent bulbs and L.E.D.’s save energy, they don’t show certain colors accurately including reds, oranges or purples.

Selling your home can sometimes involve spending money on home improvements that put a dent in your wallet, especially when it comes to updating your kitchen. Fortunately, there are low-cost alternatives for kitchen renovations so it will stand out to buyers interested in your home and create the best first impression.

Organizers. Cabinet organizers are also a great way to update your kitchen, which can be as low as $30. For a clean look and more appealing kitchen, it is important to make sure everything in your kitchen and cupboards are organized and take advantage of wasted cabinet corners.
Flooring. Kitchen flooring can become very expensive in a hurry. Depending on the flooring currently installed, you should evaluate your options as your get ready to put your home on the market. Vinyl flooring is a cheap option, but it can be a hassle to install and laminate flooring may take more effort to fit the kitchen just right. For a cheaper and simpler alternative, consider adding area rugs and carpet runners to make your kitchen impress homebuyers without the major expense. Rearranging. Lastly, an easy and cheap way to update your kitchen is to move things around. If there is an eating area in the kitchen, you can open up some new space by rearranging the table and chairs. It is all about eye flow when you walk into a kitchen for the first time, so moving things around can make a world of difference. With a little work and some planning, it is certainly possible to renovate your kitchen while sticking to your budget. These easy and cheap alternatives for renovating your kitchen will ultimately help you sell your home to the best buyer for the right price.

Trendy Bathroom Upgrades for a Quick Sell By Courtney Soinski
Photo Source: Pinterest.com
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, plug-in or hardwired, 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 hardwired ones may require professional installation.

1. Skylights In rooms where privacy is a concern, 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.
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.
5. Shower foot rest Foot rests are an economical improvement. Some suction-cup 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.

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. Here are five hot bathroom upgrades and some ideas for incorporating them into your home to ensure a quick sell.
Setting the Record Straight: Top Home Buying Myths By Courtney Soinski Whether you’re a real estate professional or first-time home buyer, the home buying process and real estate transactions can be stressful. There tends to be some common misconceptions in this process, so it’s very important that you’re well informed of what is fact and what is fiction. We’re here to set the record straight. Myth #1: You don’t need a REALTOR®. Before you bravely take on one of the biggest purchases or sales of your life, remember this: it’s not as easy as it looks. REALTORS® know all the ins and outs of the local area as well as the market in which you’re looking to buy or sell. Picking up the phone and calling a REALTOR® may be one of the best decisions you’ll make. Myth #2: The bigger the downpayment, the better off you’ll be. Buyers’ immediate reflex is to put as much cash down as they can when buying a new home because they’ll borrow less, lower the monthly mortgage payments, and won’t need to buy mortgage insurance. However, putting 20% down is not a requirement and it’s not for everyone. Thanks to Federal Housing Administration Loans (FHA Loans), you can put as little as 3.5% down. With this method, you’ll potentially have a lower interest
87732.13.11.022.indd 1
rate, giving you more flexibility. Your money is not all tied up in your house like in a traditional down payment that can leave you with little or no extra cash to spend on home care, improvements, or any other unforeseen circumstances. Myth #3: Appraisers set the value of a home. The role of the appraiser is to produce a credible opinion of value that reflects the current market. Appraisers are not responsible for setting the value of the home and they also do not confirm a home’s sale price. According to Photo Source: StartupFlavor.com David S. Bunton, President of The Appraisal Foundation, “Appraisers provide an analysis of the collateral, so that lenders understand the value of a property when making the loan decision.” Myth #4: You need perfect credit. Most people assume that you must have absolutely golden credit in order to get a loan, but that just simply isn’t the case. If buyers have less than perfect credit, lenders are often willing to work with them to get the best possible loan. Credit is not the only thing that lenders look at when deciding to approve a loan, but your score will have an effect on the interest rate on your mortgage. Make sure you review your credit report and if any errors are found, they should be reported to the credit reporting bureaus before applying for a mortgage.
