Faux Bois

The 70’s have long passed but wood paneling is still alive and thriving. Don’t be mistaken though.  These modern day interpretations are not those dark, dingy veneer strips that haunted family rooms and basements of yesteryear. These are fresh takes that bring in warmth and texture without hindering natural light.  Below are some great inspirational images of rooms with wood paneling done right.  I have yet to have any clients specifically request wood paneling when hunting for a place, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind any of the spaces shown below in their own homes.                                         (Image Credit 1)                             (Image Credit 2)                                     (Image Credit 3)                                                 (Image Credit 4)                                             (Image Credit...

The 10 dumbest mistakes buyers and sellers make in real estate transactions.

ten_dumbest_mistakes_buyers_and_sellers_make_in_real_estate The 10 Dumbest Mistakes Smart People Make When Buying or Selling a Home – and How to Avoid Them The 10 Dumbest Mistakes Smart People Make When Buying or Selling a Home – and How to Avoid Them Buyers Mistakes Prevented By 1. Not knowing how much they can afford to pay for a house before they make an offer. Get pre-qualified for a mortgage from a Lender, so you know in advance exactly how much you can afford. 2. Not finding out in advance whom the real estate agent represents. Asking your Realtor. Most people think their agent is working for them. But unless the agent is working as your buyer representative, he/she represents the seller. 3. Not realizing that the wrong mortgage can cost thousands of dollars in unnecessary interest and taxes. Consulting with a mortgage consultant, accountant, and/or financial planner before making a final decision on which mortgage to choose. CPAs can tell you the long-term effects on your income. 4. Not discovering hidden defects before buying a home. Hiring a professional to conduct a pre- purchase home inspection. 5. Not knowing how debt can affect their ability to buy or refinance a home. Asking your mortgage professional to help you review and repair your credit file in advance. 1 Sellers Mistakes Prevented By 6. Setting their asking price too high because of personal need or emotion rather than fair market value. Consulting with a professional real estate agent. He/she can assist you in pricing your home correctly. 7. Failing to “showcase” their home by highlighting the best features. Thoroughly cleaning, repairing, and readying your home for showing before you put it on the market. 8. Signing a listing contract with no way out. Asking your real estate agent if you can cancel your listing agreement at any time, no questions asked, prior to signing the contract or agreement. 9. Choosing an agent for the wrong reasons. (For example, listing a home with the agent who works for the most popular company.) Selecting a listing agent with the best marketing plan and track record. 10. Not knowing their legal rights and obligations. Consulting a knowledgeable, trustworthy professional who understands the technical and legal aspects of a real estate transaction. Contracts are legally binding. Neglected details can wind up costing sellers thousands of dollars. This report courtesy of Eni Mece Sutton Group West Coast Realty...
