5 Things to Look for When House Hunting that most buyers don’t consider: 1. Architectural details (think high ceilings, arched doorways, crown molding, french doors, wood trim, wainscoting). These little details can add so much character to a house! 2. Natural Light (if this is important to you, make it a priority). This is why it's also critical to tour homes in the daylight. My favorite time is first thing in the morning so you can see that morning sun streaming through th...e windows. 3. Condition: Are you willing to paint and do minor updates or does it need to be move in ready? The last thing you want is to feel like you're living in Fixer Upper if you're not cut out for living in a construction zone! 4. Overall house flow and layout: What can’t be changed easily or at all? Think about things like where the laundry room is located, how much space you have in the kitchen, storage, bedroom positions, etc. 5. Location: These may sound cliche because everyone in real estate says it's all about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION but keeping it here as an extra reminder to not let little details distract you from the location you truly want to be in! Think about distance to work, what do you want to be near, how quiet the street is, and local attractions.

Feeling like you’ve gotta go big or go home when creating a home office? Here’s a little secret...your space doesn’t have to be extravagant or pricey to be perfect for you. Use these tips to design a space YOU love:... Set up shop overlooking your favorite view: the backyard, neighboring rooftops, or the bustling street. No matter where it is, choose a place with plenty of natural light and that keeps you connected to the outside world. You need a desk, but it can be oh-so-simple. An entry table easily converts or move a table or desk from another part of your home to your new office spot. Place accessories and necessities nearby: lip balm, wireless earbuds, tissues, and an emergency stash of almonds or dark chocolate. Add some greenery. My favorites? Snake plants, African violets, cacti, and aloe vera. Consider a white noise machine or phone app to drown out household happenings. Top off your space with some framed prints, a funky rug, and a comfy office chair. There are lots of perks to working from home the short commute, the lunch meetings with people you love, and your soon-to-be practical and perfect home office. See more
