The Bathroom Option

Bathrooms have come a long ways over the decades. Bathrooms of yesteryear had all the essentials – toilet, sink, tub, and shower (sometimes), but they lacked layout and functionality and most of the time personality, not to mention the number of bathrooms per house.

Today bathrooms still contain the essentials, if they’re a full bath (more on this in a bit), but they also have functional layouts, storage, and personality as builders get crafty and accessories are in abundance. With marble or granite… Continue reading

Additional Costs of Owning a Home

There’s a lot to consider when buying a home. How many bedrooms? How many bathrooms? How far is the commute to work? The nearest shopping center? Is there room for a home office? There’s a lot to consider, but consider this: how much is the final cost of the house?

And why is it important to you? Well, as a Realtor we are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. We subscribe to a strict code of ethics, and are held accountable to maintain a higher level of knowledge when it comes to buying a home.

Happiness starts with loving where you live, and I am lucky to be able to live, work, and play in a community that inspires me.

You will love it here, but don’t just take my word for it…… Continue reading
