Add an Accent Wall
- A cool paint color or wallpaper accent can add character to just about any space. Self adhesive wallpaper options are readily available.

Ways To Improve Your Neighborhood
Texas REALTORS® Staff

The key to a great neighborhood is: You! Everyone wants to live in a great neighborhood. The good news is that no matter your location or type of property you call home, you can improve the area where you live. And it doesn’t have to take a lot of work.

Go First
Your instinct might be to wait for the neighbors to introduce themselves, especially if you just moved in. But your neighbors may be taking the same approach. Whether you’re new or an established resident, a simple hello can be the opening you need to start a conversation and, ultimately, a friendship. And when you see a neighbor who needs a hand, offer to help. Chances are that person will return the favor in the future.

Get Out There
The more interactions you have with neighbors, the greater your chances of forming neighborhood bonds. Work in your yard, walk the neighborhood, hang out at the condo pool, or spend time in the apartment’s fitness center. And when you’re there, remember to make that small effort to break the ice.

Look For Ways to Get Involved
Many neighborhoods stage events that require volunteers. You may be able to co-host a block party, help set up the Fourth of July parade, pitch in at a park clean-up, or participate in other group activities.

4 Secrets to Make Your Home Look High-End

1. RIGHT-SIZE-LIGHT FORMULA
You can choose the right size light for any room with this simple formula: Room Length (Ft.) + Width (Ft.) = Diameter of the light fixture (in inches)

2. FOLLOW THE 20/20 RULE
Mount your curtains 20 inches higher & wider than the window. This helps make your ceilings look higher and bring in more natural light.

3. USE TEXTURE
Throw in some chunky throw blankets & textured pillows! This helps the room feel much more inviting.

4. UPDATE YOUR HARDWARE
This is an easy way to make a big change to your home with various finishes to choose from it can really help pull together the whole home.

Honoring All Who Served.
Happy Veterans Day!

Something to Consider Before Buying a Vacation Home
September 19, 2023 | Texas REALTORS® Staff

Is there a spot that you visit so often you’d like to purchase a property? Or are you thinking of buying a vacation home that you will rent out when you’re not staying there? Whatever your motivation, there are a few considerations to make when you’re purchasing a second property.

Be Realistic About its Use
Does your dream of second-home ownership match the reality of the time and investment you’ll make? If the second property is primarily for your vacation use, factor in the costs of traveling to the location and how often you’ll be able to take advantage of it.
