In today’s economy it is important to know the market value of your home.  Many of us would like to believe that we know what our home is “worth” and many potential sellers know what they want to sell their home for, but in most cases the perception of what a home is worth to the seller is not reality with today’s market.  Investing in real estate is still a solid long term investment strategy, however, owners need accurate and reliable information at their fingertips to really understand and weather today’s market conditions.   There are a number of outstanding websites that are free to people to go and receive this type of information.  Information truly is power so utilize these tools that are right at your fingertips.  We have developed a free website to help you better understand the value of your home and the current market and feel free to use the link below or visit The Guilliams Team website for additional information.

Calling all cooks!  Pampered Chef has been around for years, but it still amazes me that so many of my friends are not familiar with Pampered Chef.  The whole concept is you can host a party in your home and a Pampered Chef consultant will come in and prepare dishes using many of the Pampered Chef products or people can host a catalog show and people can order straight from a catalog.  I am a gadget person and Tim tells me I have every gadget known to man, but there is no such thing.  Some women love their shoes or pocketbooks and my vice happens to be Pampered Chef products.  The quality of the products and the cooking results are the best and even after using these products for many years they are as a wonderful as the first time I bought them.  The stones are a must have and their serving pieces are great and there are still many things I want to purchase as Pampered Chef is always coming out with new and practical items to offer.  There are some incredible consultants in this area and if you are interested in hosting a party be sure and check out the Pampered Chef website and see all the many offerings that are available.  I promise you will not be disappointed.

If you think you are ready to become a homeowner ask yourself the following questions.

1.  Have you researched the market?  Knowing what homes are selling for in the area can help you determine how much you should plan to spend.

2.  Do you have sufficient savings to cover down payment and closing costs?  Expect to have 3% - 20% of the sale price in the bank to cover your down payment, plus another 2% - 7% to cover closing costs.

3.  Do you know how much home you can afford?  A mortgage payment should not exceed 25% of yur gross monthly earnings.  A home that sucks up more than a quarter of your income may lead to financial difficulties.

4.  Is your credit report accurate?  Inaccuracies on a credit report can cost you higher interest rates.  Request your credit report from all three nationwide credit bureaus and report mistakes immediately.

If you answered yes to all these questions - you’re ready to consider buying!

Carefully consider the type of flooring you select for each room in your home.  Make choices based on room size, traffic, health concerns and value.  Certain flooring choices can increase allergens, require expensive cleanings, or costly remodeling to implement.  Consider these flooring tips when selecting flooring.

Room size:  Select light colored or large patterned flooring in smaller rooms to create the illusion of space.  Dark, rich colors add warmth and intimacy in larger rooms.

Traffic:  High traffic areas like kitchens and entryways benefit from the durability and easy cleaning of tile or laminate flooring.  Maintain warmth and comfort in the bedroom and family room with carpeting.

Health:  Avoid wall-to-wall carpeting if you are plagued by respiratory problems or sever allergies.  Wood and tile floors are less likely to harbor dust and pollen.

Value:  Because it’s also considered a major piece of the decorating canvas, flooring value fluctuates with interior decorating trends.  Today, hardwood floors are considered high-demand.  Consult interior decorating magazines to find out what’s hot now.
