Getting Ready to Sell Your Home?

If you are considering selling your home, here are a few tips to make the process run more smoothly:

1. Pick a Realtor who will manage the home preparation process for you. Hopefully, they will provide you a production calendar of events to help you stay focused and organized.


?2. Have your home pre-inspected. Any issue that hasn’t been disclosed up front is fair game; a Buyer may request a credit back or price reduction. If you do nothing else, this is one action item that could save you thousands of dollars.


?3. Go to the planning office and look at your file. Was any work done without permits? Clear those up in advance or discuss with your Realtor.

?4. When cleaning out the garage, remove old paint and other toxic materials. Arrange to have those items taken to Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility on 535 Jacoby Street. Hours: Tues.-Sat. 8:00am until 3:30pm....

Using Color In Your Home ..Spring 2016!

Spring is just around the corner and people are feeling adventurous, bright, happy and ready to get moving again!  Many home designers are translating that by using bold colors balanced by softer tones that translate into vibrant yet calming rooms in homes!

You have and you love your white walls?  That's ok, just use some bold colors and patterns to give it a very lively personality.  Pick just a few colors and by adding it into some pillows and/or chair cushions, maybe some artwork, candles and fresh flowers that match, you will make everyone who walks into the room smile!  Here's some examples of using some bold colors against the white walls:
