For many luxury homeowners, having ample space to display their art collection is as important a feature as a state-of-the-art kitchen or spa-like bathrooms. Significant works of art require being exhibited in a way that does them justice—and it’s not just about high ceilings and expansive walls.
Whether you’re getting ready to mount your latest acquisition or you’re a serious collector looking for a new home that has a dedicated wing to serve as a gallery, here’s what you need to know about displaying your art at home:
Assess the Space
Consider how your wall space relates to your collection. Do you have large paintings that can hang by themselves or will you arrange several smaller works close together? If you’re going with the latter, try to group pieces that are connected in some way, like style, color, or motif. Also, pay attention to the frames and how they can connect the artwork to your living space.
Lighting
Whether you’re going with picture lights or recessed spotlights, this is one of the most important factors to take into account. Warm, dimmable light bulbs with a Color-Rendering Index of 90 or above are best to illuminate the artwork accurately and reveal natural hues. Try to avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause fading and, at the very least, make sure your windows block UV rays. While we’re at it, it’s also best to stay clear of any air vents or drafts.
Consult a Professional
When you’re dealing with priceless works of art, you can’t be afraid to bring in a professional to help curate your space. Art-hanging services can outfit your home with museum quality hanging systems that will take your collection to the next level. Installation experts will ensure each piece is securely mounted and can even implement pulley systems so you don’t have to put holes in your walls.

The first thing a buyer notices when they pull up to a home is the curb appeal. The home’s exterior including the siding, windows, garage door, front door and roof as well as the landscaping, decks and patios all need to show well!
More Showings
Having great curb appeal will create more showings on a property. Real estate is often a numbers game, meaning the more people that see a property, the more likely it will sell. Some buyers may decide not to even go into a property if they do not like the curb appeal. A favorable curb appeal will capture a client’s interest and make them want to see more.
Sell Faster
Of course more showings should help a home sell faster. Another reason a home might sell faster with good curb appeal is that when the initial impression is favorable, that feeling will last with the buyer as they go through the home. They will assume that the same care has been taken inside the home as well.
Sell For More Money
Realtors rank curb appeal as the most important in selling a home for top dollar. Buyers start deducting right away when the exterior of the home is not meticulous. When you are meticulous with the outside of your home, a buyer will assume you are meticulous with the routine maintenance of the home as well. Investing in the home’s exterior appearance is a good return on investment as well because a seller can expect to see return dollars for their efforts.
Conclusion
A buyer will look at a home as a total package but it is the curb appeal that makes the first impression that will stick with them. When they come back for a second showing and pull in the driveway, they will remember the home right away and how it made them feel. It is that emotional connection that will make them feel like this is home!

One question a Realtor® is asked often is how to find the perfect home. Finding the right place to call home is important for every buyer and it is a process that should not be rushed. It will take time to find a place that suits a buyer’s preferences and needs but it will be worth the effort. Below are some steps to consider.
Calculate Price Range
One of the first steps should be to talk with a lender who can calculate the price range that you can afford. Just like any major purchase, you should have a budget in mind before you begin your search. It is easy to over reach when purchasing a home because you want to get the best that you can afford now. It is also important to consider the current and future expenses connected with the home so that you do not exceed your means. It is smart for buyers to purchase something that they can easily afford rather than a home that stretches their finances.
Determine the Ideal Location
When purchasing a home, you are not just buying a house but also a neighborhood. It is important that you choose a location that will suit you as well as find a community that you can belong to. The environment surrounding the home should make you feel welcome. You should also consider access to your workplace, schools, family and other amenities.
List Must-Have Features
Another great step to finding the perfect home is to list your must-have features. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms are the preliminary requirements. Go beyond the basics though and think of how you will live in the home. What are your hobbies and what type of spaces will you need to enjoy them? Do you need a basement, garage or large yard? Perhaps it’s a large kitchen or a small space for yoga or reading. Creating a list will help you focus your search.
Get Professional Help
Last but certainly not the least, getting professional help can make your search for the perfect home more efficient. When you know what you want, a Realtor ® can provide you with a concentrated list of properties to consider which will save you time and get you into your perfect home sooner!

Selling a home is no easy feat. There are many factors to consider for a successful outcome, including finding a good realtor, repairing or replacing broken things in the home, and getting all the home’s paperwork together.
The most crucial step towards selling a home, however, is deciding how to price it. Here, you will you learn the importance of pricing a home correctly along with common mistakes to avoid when putting it on the market.
Pricing your home has a big impact on it selling within your timeframe at a number you are comfortable making off of it. It takes time, thought, and patience to reach the right number for your home. If it is priced accurately then you will have the highest chance of getting what it is worth, and you will not have to impede the process by constantly lowering your price.
When pricing your home, you must do your research. It is imperative to know exactly how much your home is worth, so have a professional home appraisal done on your house. Knowing this information will give you an idea of what you may be able to get for it.
Using market analysis will also aid you in knowing how to price your property. A market analysis can tell you what homes in your neighborhood like yours were sold for. Trying to price your home based on what other homes on the market in your neighborhood are priced at can get you in trouble.
Basing your price on what you see around you may put you at risk of pricing too high. Many people selling their homes make a mistake when thinking pricing it high and lowering it later will help them make the best deal. Often, this logic backfires because they end up having to lower their price so much that they sell it for less than it is worth. Do not assume what you see around you is the most economical; do your research.
Any personal attachments to your home should be severed once you are considering selling it. If you still have an emotional connection to your house when you are putting it on the market, this may hurt your chance of selling your home for the best price possible. Do not get wrapped up in thoughts of how much time and effort you have invested over the years. Those feelings will likely cloud your judgement when considering how much your home is worth.
Emotions factor into why people overprice their homes, and that is why it is important to work with someone who can help you see the real picture. Use a trustworthy, responsible realtor who will be honest with you to get the best value for your property.
You have about ten days from the time your home is placed on the market to generate the most movement and response to your listing. Priced correctly, your home has a much greater chance of attracting potential buyers. You can save time by putting your house on the market at a realistic cost, making serious buyers more inclined to make offers faster than unrealistic prices allow them to.
When pricing your home, it is important to determine what is of more significance to you. Do you want to save more time or make more money? Pricing your house at the right number can help you do both simultaneously, but if it is more important to save time one or to make more money, knowing what matters more will you price your home accordingly.
For instance, if you need to sell quickly to move at a certain time, you may want to list your home at a lower price to attract more potential buyers. A home listed for less than its value could put you at risk for losing money, but if selling quickly is the more pertinent task, lowering the price can save you a lot of time.
To get the most money from your home, there are some things you can do to get your house in order. Fixing any flaws, interior or exterior, will give your home more value. Invest in hiring professionals to repair or replace any damages.
Declutter your home and keep it tidy. Any potential buyers will want to be able to see themselves in your place and see the home as theirs. Allowing them this visual will influence their decision. Do not confuse them with a cluttered or unkempt space.
Show off the best parts of your home. Let your open house showcase all your home’s selling factors and make your potential buyers understand the value of your home.
Selling your home on the market can be a stressful process, and you do not want to make it any harder than it needs to be. Appropriate pricing is the most vital part of selling your home as it can mean the difference between selling in four weeks or four months. If pricing your home is proving to be difficult for you, hire a professional to help you get where you need to be.
