Due to my last post on top remodeling jobs I have decided to write on top re-dos for one’s kitchen.

1. Hardware. I recently experienced the difference hardware can make on kitchen cabinets personally with my new home my husband and I are building.
2. Faucet. There are so many options now days and this truly will change the way your kitchen operates.
3. Lighting. By adding LED lights you will truly add a dramatic effect for about $40.
4. Organization. Currently, I live in a home with a very small kitchen. Fortunately, I am educated enough to know that with a little organization one can truly utilize space more effectively. I hit up IKEA and purchased a magnetic knife rack, mobile spice rack, can holders, plastic bag compartment, etc to assure that every inch of my kitchen is being put to fabulous use.
5. Countertops. This can truly update any kitchen. One could replace their current countertops with laminate for just under $1,500 compared to a granite which would cost roughly $2,500. Some sellers feel as if buyers only want granite these days and figure replacing them is too costly; but in all actuality buyers are perfectly content with laminate as long as it is in an appealing, up-to-date pattern.

Hope this helps~

Happy Monday to everyone!

Ready to make your living space feel larger? Let’s be honest who isn’t…

1- Store personal belongings out of site.
2- Ditch the rugs (sure they are nice in the winter, but not for summer). Bare is more!
3- Switch to full-spectrum lightbulbs.
4- Try less heavy drapery, it will add a less harsh feeling to a room. This will also open up the room to make it feel larger.
5- Do not overdo the walls. One idea would be to buy small black canvases and paint them different tinges (solid or with splatters).

This last March I was fortunate enough to attend Realtor Convention in Florida! During one of my classes I was taught to add emotion to the real estate contract. Rather than just present the offer to seller from buyer; describe the buyers to the sellers, give them personalities to accompany their names. This really struck home for me and I have since implemented it into my transactions. Today I logged on to check emails, write my blog of day and saw this on msn.com.

Check it out and give me a call to assure your offer is accepted. Always remember buyers DO NOT pay commissions so hire my professional services today!

Today I would like to write about taking one’s business into the fast lane and assuring your “car” is out of control. The example given in my seminar that I attended was that they do not pay professional race car drivers to drive straightaways they pay them a lot of money to predict the turns and the speed at which they will take them to assure accuracy and control through them. I would now like to share some reasons why I feel that I am a true asset for my buyers and sellers.

~I choose to be the type of Realtor that truly provides quality service for my clients.
~On average I return calls (when I miss them in the first place, which is rare) within 10 minutes.
~Real estate is second nature to me. My mom raised me as a single mother being a Realtor and therefore I was her little assistant the day I was born. I have had the opportunity to watch the real estate industry my entire life and am able to predict the market with better accuracy. With this opportunity to have my mother as a mentor I have been in the majority of homes through out the valley. It is super fun to see the changes/remodels that take place over years.
~Real estate is my passion.

These are just a few of the reason why I feel I would be a great fit as your Realtor.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar  for CRS Realtors .  This was an amazingly informative day filled with many fabulous speakers and words of wisdom. I plan to be divulging a secret or two from this eventful day to all my readers/followers.

Today I want to talk about the dangers that can arise from now being fully represented by a professional Realtor. Per capita, Utah Valley has the highest amount of fraud in the United States! That is an alarming fact given by Attorney Joe Wrona. That being said, PLEASE allow me to share my expertise with you in order to protect you from danger. Follow me on my personal website, www.amandajorgensen.com as well in order to gain maximum knowledge.

I treat my clients like family!
