 Let’s face it, white is the perfect backdrop color to create a stunning room - be it the kitchen, bedroom, living room, bathroom or your home office. It pairs well with pastels, patterns, natural textures, bold color accents and smoky hues.  It works with modern, classic and older things. And best of all - there's something ethereal when you step into a white room. 

If we always listened to our parents - white rooms would never exist: "They get dirty so fast" "You can't have a white couch" "White floors are a disaster to keep clean". It would be a shame never to experience a white room, to be too afraid of having one. So, for those fearless home owners who adore white rooms, we've put together a collection of some of our favorite white on…

While I hum to the tune of Bing Crosby’s classic - Dreaming of a White Christmas - I wonder if we’ll actually have a white Christmas.

Nevertheless, the holiday spirit is alive and well. To give you a flavor of what it would be like to live in the Hudson Valley during this magical time of the year, here’s a quick glance at some of the past and upcoming Holiday happenings this year.

When searching for a new home, the possibilities may seem endless. In order to narrow down the choices, it's important to consider the size of home one needs, the mortgage one is qualified for, and the type of neighborhood one wants to live in. Home buying in Woodstock, New York is an exciting experience, and finding the perfect home is possible when you do your research.

Qualify for a Mortgage Before Searching

Finding the perfect home won't mean anything if you can't pay for the home. It's helpful to understand how much one can spend on a house before searching, and pre-qualifying for a mortgage is the best way to find out. When searching, stay within the budget parameters in order to find a dream home. It is never fun to try and stretch a budget…

It's no secret that selling a home can be a long and drawn-out process, especially in a buyers' market. However, for those looking to sell, it's important to realize that there are many options available when it comes to home selling in Ulster County. Aside from a conventional home sale, there's always the option to sell to an investor. In fact, selling to an investor can help sellers avoid some of the surprising expenses that come along with selling a home the "traditional" way.

Maintenance/Upgrades

For starters, when selling a home conventionally, there's always a need to complete some basic maintenance and upgrades to the home. After all, today's sellers expect a home to be in good shape before they'll even think about putting an offer in. The…

The real estate industry is a mystery for many people who aren’t directly involved with it. But if you’re planning to buy or sell your home, you need to should know these five things about real estate agents. Being more knowledgeable about the job of real estate agents will help you to seek out the best one, understand how they make money, and realize the value they offer to homeowners.

1. They Live on Commissions

Real estate agents only make money when they sell property. They don’t get a salary, a stipend, a per diem or an hourly wage. They only make a commission if they are successful in selling a house. That means that every minute they spend working with you to sell your house is unpaid, until it sells.
