Power of a smile

Power of a smile

Some days I have to stop and think. Today is one of those days, I have been feeling a little down, trampled by other people lately mostly arising from a current transaction. Not throwing a pity me party but it was starting to wear on me. So, I decided today that any issues where I feel like I am the brunt of others angry outburst for things that are out of my control I am going to smile. Smiling carries in your voice over the phone and in general conversation. Even if you are aggravated to no end you can smile and that smile carries over to the other party. This can be good to keep the other party at ease and make them feel better as well. I might sigh when I hang up the phone and no one is around but I am going to try my best today to smile! For what is going to happen is going to happen.

That is one less thing they must worry about when looking for a home. The house or property with the least amount of work that needs to be done is the winner 9 times out of 10. Unless it is an investor or a house flipper. Second, declutter is a must. Now while you are packing to move yourself you will ...

Making the Most of a Modest Space

While some people who are selling their home think a small kitchen is a negative, there are several ways that you can make it stand out and appeal to potential buyers: Light it up. Darkness can often make smaller rooms feel even more cramped. To open the room up to more light, consider removing all curtains from windows and instead install recessed blinds. You still get the privacy factor, while also allowing your kitchen to have a brighter feel. Keep the counters tidy. Many people have things strewn about their kitchen counters and cabinets. Think about keeping your counter tops clear of all items, including photos, papers and even appliances, to make it seem like the room is larger than it truly is. Brighten the walls.
