Buy or Sell AZ Homes

Does it make sense to sell?

Trying to decide if you should SELL or RENT? ⁣It makes sense to sell if: ⁣⁣– There’s a high demand for homes in your neighborhood.⁣– Your home needs a lot of repairs and updates before it will be appealing to renters.⁣– You live in an area that isn’t enticing to renters.⁣– You don’t have the time, energy, or know-how to be a landlord.⁣⁣It makes sense to rent if: ⁣⁣– You can afford to buy another home as your primary residence without having to sell– You have a lower mortgage than what rents are going for in your area– You want Real Estate Wealth as part of your retirement plan – You’re willing to learn the ins and outs of being a landlord and excited about transforming your home into a financial asset.⁣⁣Still have questions?

How you can choose the best fixtures!

Choosing fixtures for your home can be exhausting! (If you’ve ever visited a lighting store, you know exactly what I’m talking about 😅)⁣First, let’s review the three different types of lighting:⁣⁣1. Ambient lighting: the main source of light in a room (think overhead fixtures or recessed lighting).⁣2. Task lighting: the lighting “tasked” for activities such as working or reading (meant to illuminate a small area; not an entire room).⁣3. Accent lighting: the most decorative lighting in a room (think chandeliers, sconces, and lamps).⁣⁣As you plan, remember most rooms have two types of lighting—some all three. Make a list of the rooms in your home and the different types of lighting you need. Then, you can shop with clarity and purpose even amidst the blinding lights.⁣
