Happy #NewYearsDay! Some people say New Year’s resolutions are cliché, but they can still be a great way to get your head in the right mindset. Especially for setting your intentions for the new year. What are some of your goals for this year?

In #RealEstate talk, a party is a sold house. The truth is, there’s nothing quite like seeing the delight on new homeowners’ faces as they receive the keys to their new home! It’s a real gift.

This just in: The #DesignTrend of the year is shiplap! What is #shiplap? The style of shiplap got its name and inspiration from ships. The overlapping joints are what made shiplap so great for boats it was tight and waterproof. This is why it also became popular in regions with harsh climates. Even if you’re not constantly battling with the elements, shiplap can add a charming look and feel to your home.... Vertical shiplap can make any room look taller, and the bold lines and handcrafted look makes it incredibly versatile. Have you installed shiplap in your home?

Making your own wreath is surprisingly easy, requires little floral expertise, and can be more cost-effective than buying a pre-made one. Not to mention, you can dress it up however you’d like! Materials for your #DIYWreath: garland (a 20-ft one is quite standard) wire cutters... floral wire a metal hoop (or any other shape you’d like to create the wreath frame). Then, simply coil the garland onto the frame, layering it and wiring it all together as you layer. Then add any decor you’d like and voila! Have you made your own wreath? Do you have any insider tips to add?

Buying a home can be overwhelming there are many steps to the process and new terminology to learn. But hopefully, this list can help ease your nerves! Know your credit score (and perhaps how to improve it), get pre-approved (many forget this step), don’t make any major purchases (this may hurt your credit score), and don’t leave your job (your source of income). And the icing on the cake that will make the process a whole less overwhelming: Find a #RealEstateAgent you can trust!

Definition time! Today’s lexicon is down payment. A #DownPayment is a portion of the house purchase price that you pay out of pocket. This is a way to finalize the transaction, and it comes before any loans are taken out to finance remainder payments.
