Construction & Design
Adding a Deck to Your Home Or Extending
One of the many ways that homeowners add enjoyment to their life and value to their property is by adding a deck. Decks are not only aesthetically pleasing, they are also practical by providing more living space.
Affordable Style
Redecorating our living spaces has never been more popular. Astonishing before and after photos demonstrate what can be achieved with some paint, a few furniture upgrades and a good layout.
Creating Your Dream Home Office
Email, faxes and voice mail have forever changed the office concept. Depending on the type of business you are in, it may be possible to dodge the corporate office full time or a few days per week. Conducting business from home can save time, offer flexible hours and even tax advantages.
Deckscaping
A deck can be the ultimate 'room' with a view. It can function as an extension on your living room and a bridge between your home and your garden. Imagine warm summer afternoons on your deck enjoying barbequed steaks, a wonderful view, and the scent of fragrant blossoms. If you are planning to build a deck, or if you are hoping to transform an underutilized space into an attractive place for entertaining, call me for free consultation.
Decorating a Loft
Loft living is a unique experience. They offer open floor plans, tall, dramatic windows and walls as well as a flood of light in the daytime and perhaps a spectacular city view by night. A common challenge confronting many new owners is how to decorate. Without many dividing walls, one task area or 'room' flows into another and the boxy shape can be visually overwhelming. Lofts require a far different approach to decorating than would be used for the average house or apartment.
Walkway Maintenance
Are you tired of tracking mud from your backyard into your house? Would you like to create a more unified and sophisticated garden? Our solution is to build a brick or cut stone path.
The Modern Bathroom
Bathrooms have certainly changed with the times. Rather than simply being utilitarian, new designs seem to invite users to take long baths and linger over their grooming. Rich wood, marble, shining chrome…no phone - the designers may be onto to something. Whether you're looking for small updates or building from the ground up, you can count on me.
10 Homebuyer Tips
If you are planning to buy a home within the next few weeks or months, preparing now helps you save time, money and gives you an advantage over other buyers. Consider the following tips prior to beginning your home search.
1. Know your bottom line before you begin looking at homes.
This means more than just knowing what price you are willing to pay. Consider the distance you are willing to commute to work, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you require and what you need in terms of local community facilities. If you have children, the proximity to schools and parks will likely also be a consideration.
2. Check your credit.
Bad credit is due to an unpaid or lost bill and other times it can be inaccuracies in the report itself. Who wants to discover that they have a bad credit rating after finding the home of their dreams? Rather than waiting for a lender to inform you of your credit rating, it is wise to obtain a copy prior to beginning your home search. This will give you an opportunity to address any inaccuracies and perhaps settle any outstanding debts. The more ‘blemishes’ you have on your credit report, the more likely it is that your lender will charge you a higher interest rate as a hedge against a bad loan. You can obtain a copy of your credit report from accredited organizations such as Equifax.
3. Avoid making any major purchases prior to buying home.
Lenders tend to become nervous when they see that a potential homeowner has stretched their disposable income to the breaking point by buying a car or a boat for example. Such purchases can make it more difficult to obtain a mortgage or may lower the mortgage amount.
4. Calculate the maximum monthly mortgage payment you can
afford.
Generally, the banks will allow people to take out a mortgage that is approximately equal to 30 percent of their gross monthly income. Depending on your personal circumstances, it may not be wise to take the largest mortgage possible. Consider your other long and short-term expenses such as tuition for yourself or your children, a new car, or vacations. Also be sure to factor in monthly retirement savings.
5. Anticipate higher interest rates.
Recalculate the maximum monthly mortgage payment based on interest rates that are two or three percent higher than current rates. Ask yourself if you could afford to pay a higher monthly payment without infringing on other commitments
6. Determine your cash flow at the time of purchase.
There are various fees involved in closing a deal including the down payment, closing costs (federal and property taxes, appraisal fees, title insurance, survey fees, etc.) and home insurance. If you are moving from a rental suite, you should also be prepared for expenses that may have been incorporated into your rent such as heat, hot water, electricity and cable service.
7. Budget for any repairs and maintenance that may be required in your new home.
Sometimes people purchase a 'fixer-upper' because the home has other redeeming features such as a large backyard or proximity to schools or parks. If your new home will require repairs or maintenance be sure to budget for these expenses. For example, a bedroom renovation can wait for a few months but most families cannot go a day without a functioning water heater!
8. Get your paperwork in order.
Lenders will often need to see bank statements, pay stubs, and tax documents for the past two years. If you are self-employed, tax documents, bank statements and collateral such as a vehicle or other property are important criteria to securing a mortgage
9. Get pre-approved for a loan.
Once you have calculated a budget you can live with, approach a lender to find out if you can get approved for a mortgage and how much you can spend on a home. Being pre-approved can put you in a stronger position when you make an offer and can save you valuable time in a seller’s market.
10. Look for alternatives.
compare buying a house or finding a lot and builder to build a house for you can have different benefits. Buying a house can save you time and hassle, however, purchasing a lot, choosing your desire plan and letting a qualified builder to build for you is not as expensive as you think. In fact, if you get a good deal from the builder, you can save a lot of money in the current real estate market depending on the plan you choose. Benefits: your dream house style and location, you can pick the color, styles, floors, lightings you want, and save a lot of money.
