Photo: Rooms To Go (click for link) There is a simple answer to the question proposed in the title of this post: YES! Let's say you love the color gray. You pain your walls gray, order gray colored furniture for the living room, ad bring in gray accent rugs all through the house. All this would be fine, as long as you add in some accent colors. For example, you paint your kitchen cabinets gray to match your gray speckled granite countertops. Add white trim and a white back splash. If you paint your walls gray, add pale yellow accents to your room with pillows and rugs. Too much of any one thing can easily become too much. Be sure to break up the one color with accent colors and you will be okay!

If this is your first time buying a luxury home, or maybe it's not, but you need a refresher, here are some key points to keep in mind: First, be sure to work with a Realtor that knows about the luxury home market. Amy Sossamon, with Regal Crest Luxury Homes , is the one for you if you live in Raleigh, NC and surrounding areas! Second, make a list of all the things you are looking for and not looking for in your new luxury home. Stick to your list and do not allow additional bells and whistles to sway you another way. Stick to your guns! There is no sense in paying for something you will never use later. Thirdly, never go by online pictures alone. Make sure you see the house in person! No matter how far you may have to travel, go and see the home. Lastly, do your research! Check on the locations, resale value and by all means, have the home inspected.

The pictures used when you list your home are the first impression potential buyers have of your home and they can make or break your sale. Unfortunately, this happens all too often. If you are not a photographer, reach out to your Realtor for help. A couple of helpful home photography tips: Always take pictures of the ENTIRE room. Make sure lighting is bright enough. Take pictures with lighting behind you if possible. Always include pictures of the front yard, back yard, front of the house and back of the house. Extra pictures of the kitchen are always good.  Pick up all clutter before taking a single picture. These tips are definitely helpful, but having a skilled photographer is your best option...whether it be your Realtor or a hired professional. Ready to sell your home or buy a new home?

Ever hear the phrase, "When the kitchen is clean, the whole house looks clean?" Maybe you have and maybe you haven't but it definitely rings true. The kitchen is the heart of most homes. We cook in there, eat in there, grab our midnight snacks from there. A lot of the time, the family gathers in there to talk, eat, snack, drink...you get my point. So, when selling a luxury home, the kitchen need to be clean and up to date. Old 1980 counter tops? Replace with a luxurious granite. Retro pain from the 70's? Paint with a light, creamy, neutral color. Chipped and scratched wood floors, try replacing or having them professionally buffed and shined. If your appliances are old or do not match, replace with a new set. By adhering to these few steps, your kitchen will be appealing to potential buyers...and if you are purchasing a new home, keep these things in mind during your house hunting. An honest Realtor is top priority when buying or selling a home. Allow ...
