Real*Estate:The' bakVitle'fee'aVier, W ednesday January T8, 2006 - 11 Make your home more attractive by adding the element of warmth Question: What can I do to make my home more warm and inviting for poten tial purchasers? Answer: As all sellers want their home to be sold as quick as possible, the fol lowing will help create a warm and personal feeling to potential buyers: Remove family photos to encourage buyers to see themselves in your home, as their house and not yours. Make certain there are no burnt out light bulbs. Place fresh flowers in the kitchen and bath and make certain your plants are healthy and clean. As potential buyers will open doors and cup boards, make certain your closets are organized and fresh smelling. Pack away all paperback books and items that you are not using. Take care of all the little fix-it type jobs, and consider repainting if need be. KATE'S KO RNER Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. Question: I am currently thinking about remodeling my kitchen but I want it to look right. Should I work with a kitchen designer or can I achieve a professional look myself? Answer: A kitchen designer can pull all the pieces of your kitchen puzzle together. The designer will keep you from getting bogged down in details that can throw your plan ning off track. You'll then be free to dream, while the designer thinks through all the measurements, material coordination, and con struction logistic. For example if you might want a recycle center, but can't quite figure out whether it would fit, your designer might know exactly how to make it work based on his past experience. This is just one example of why you should work with a kitchen designer, as they have a wealth of knowledge.
