You'd do everything you could to get the home you want, right? If you've been searching for a home the last 2 years, you know that you've got competition. One strategy that isn't taken advantage of enough: Backup offers
If a Buyer submits an offer and the Seller chooses another one, I encourage my Buyers to submit a Backup offer. A Backup offer is a bona-fide written offer - terms, pre-approval or proof of funds and all. There is an additional form that notes how long you're willing to be in Backup position. If the seller accepts and signs off then that home is secured for you, should the 1st Buyer fall through. A lot of Buyers say to me, "That probably won't happen though. I'll just resubmit my offer if it comes back on the market." I tell them, DON'T. If you wait for the property to come back on the market, then you're competing with the entire market again. Buyers fall through all the time, especially in a market where ; ...

Having a small space can be frustrating, especially when it’s your living room or bedroom. We all love a big airy room to relax in. But you don't have to start a full home renovation just to open up a room. There are more affordable and less invasive ways to make a room look bigger. From the furniture you buy to the colors you use, you can easily achieve a spacious room without having to break down a wall.
Whether you’re trying to sell your home or simply want to refresh an old space, here are some tips to trick guests into thinking a room is bigger than it actually is:
Furniture
First off, move your furniture away from walkways. When obstacles sit in the natural path of a room, it cuts off the flow of the space. Spaces appear smaller when guests have to maneuver around the furniture. Moving furniture away from these paths will instantly help.
Changing your furniture can have the biggest effect on the perceived size of your space. Your furniture must ...

It has been the year of the Charcuterie board. People like choice and abundance. Place a charcuterie board down in front of people and they get to pick and choose what they like, making flavor combinations that appeal to them. It’s like a food version of choose-your-own adventure. When you're looking to entertain or need ideas for an event, think of Local Chef Tina Jean. She has the art of the board down to a science.
NASA is what first brought her and her family to the wonderful Space Coast community in 2019. She is a ten year Air Force Veteran, stay-at-home mom and now your local personal chef! After proudly serving her country in the USAF, she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Science and Management and became an Instructor Chef at a well-known cooking school in Utah.
In addition to teaching classes, she also ran her personal chef business, The Custom Chef, LLC. In this business, she combines her love of teaching and passion for coo ...
