Breakfast: the first meal of the day that’s loved, hated, or ignored; for some it may be a cup of coffee on the go, for others full-blown proteins, fruits, and carbs. Breakfast in the last 20 years has become a billion-dollar industry for making the first meal of the day quick and easy: cereals, microwave breakfast in a minute, not to mention all the fast food restaurants offering their own specialty meal. Breakfast by definition is the first meal that “breaks the fast” of a long sleep period, as it has been described to me for years.

Multiple offers to purchase a home are typically a welcome occurrence for sellers but a source of frustration for buyers. Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all means of handling situations involving multiple offers. However, understanding the nuances involved can help facilitate negotiations while mitigating the potential for misunderstandings and unrealized opportunities.
Purchasing a home can be an exciting and arguably an overwhelming experience for first-time home buyers. Although there’s a wealth of information available online, there are systematic steps prospective homeowners employ that result in the successful purchase of a home.
Both sellers and buyers have the potential to unconsciously set unrealistic expectations preventing them from achieving their real estate goals. Understandably, the differing perceptions held by sellers and buyers are an ever-present reality, but there are advantages to be had in acknowledging the competitive motives of both sides from a neutral position.
Improving and staging a home allows sellers to market their properties with a distinct competitive advantage. Staged homes often have a greater chance of selling for maximum price. There’s an aesthetic quality innate in successful home improvement and staging efforts which afford sellers an opportunity to present their properties in a manner appealing to a larger audience of prospective homebuyers.
A considerable amount of attention in real estate has historically been given to homebuyer’s remorse, but seldom are discussions focused on the phenomenon of seller’s remorse. Both buyers and sellers alike may experience anxiety resulting from a decision to purchase or sell a home. Buyers often begin to experience remorseful feelings during the initial stages of a real estate transaction. However, for sellers, the resultant emotional considerations oftentimes manifest much later in the process.
Purchasing a home is oftentimes the largest financial consideration a prospective homeowner undertakes. Yet, there’s seldom little preparation afforded to would-be homeowners about the emotional considerations that soon accompany an accepted offer. For many, uncertainty of what the future holds can evoke a sense of insecurity, causing a homebuyer to question their decision and resolve. However, there are ways they can put some of their doubts to rest and avoid experiencing unnecessary feelings of disappointment and remorse.
Home ownership and being a pet parent are oftentimes interwoven. However, when homeowners with pets decide to sell, they’re potentially faced with the challenge of selling their homes to prospective buyers who otherwise might not share their same interest in animals. Successfully marketing, showing and selling a home with pets sometimes further complicates an already difficult process of bringing a home to the market. Arguably, there are often correlations between pet ownership and the resultant price for which a home sells.
Effective communication begins with both buyers and sellers understanding one anotherâs needs and wants.

Successfully navigating the many stages of a real estate transaction can be a complex undertaking. Effective communication on the part of buyers, sellers and business professionals is of vital importance to completing the purchase and sale of property. To promote the flow of information throughout the buying and selling process, it is important to understand each step, the reason for those steps and how the information is to be exchanged amongst all parties.
Purchasing a home is often one of the largest financial decisions a person ever contemplates. There are often numerous considerations to be made, each of which may be encumbered with a cost.
When trying to determine a home’s value, buyers and sellers often possess differing points of view. Emotions may unknowingly play an influential role, resulting in differing opinions and a disparity between a home’s presumed value and its actual value.
Whether purchasing a home for the first time or well versed in the home buying process, consideration should be given to each step leading up to the presentation of an offer to buy a home.
Before a homeowner places their home on the market for sale, they’ll want to take appropriate measures to ensure it captures a prospective buyer’s interest.
In effort to meet the ever-changing real estate needs of today’s society, new forms of home ownership have emerged. Diverse lifestyles, changing family structures and a growing population have in many ways redefined what it means to own a home. In response, condominium developments have become an ever-increasing popular way of owning residential property.
“Just listed, a wonderfully maintained home in a great location with exquisite mountain views ...” The power of visual imagery in well-crafted descriptions is of immense value when marketing a home for sale. There are profound artistic and analytical synergies intrinsic in successfully marketed homes.
Successful open houses are a product of significant planning and preparation. Although an open house may not be the resultant cause for the sale of a home, holding a home open, can increase the odds that it is seen by a prospective buyer. In response, consideration should be given to marketing efforts as the broad application of promotional tools could serve to capture a prospective homebuyer’s awareness.
The financial responsibilities of home ownership go well beyond the payment of a monthly mortgage and recent home buyers are often caught off guard with the numerous costs they encumber when purchasing a new home. The impact of maintenance costs, homeowner’s insurance, property taxes, association dues, utilities and other resultant obligations are often overlooked when searching for a home to buy.
In real estate, first impressions are of the utmost importance and a person’s initial reaction to a home is oftentimes based on its curb appeal. The attractiveness of a home’s exterior has a significant effect on its value. There are projects, both large and small, that can improve a home’s appearance. When a homeowner is looking to sell, the benefits afforded in giving their home a face-lift become increasingly more apparent as a home with curb appeal has presence and can instill a feeling of pride in ownership.
Selecting the right real estate professional is of profound importance when purchasing or selling a home. However, many prospective buyers and sellers miss opportunities to interview and qualify potential agents before committing to hire a representative
