Frequently Asked Questions in the Real Estate Industry

From the consumer side, buying or selling a home is an overwhelming task. It is a huge financial decision that affects the family directly. Most people do not take this decision lightly. It is sometimes a split decision to renovate their existing home or find a new one. It is the premise of the HGTV sitcom, Love It, or List It.

The ingredients to success in making a house a home lie in the traditions passed down. Holiday traditions do not need a location or people nearby; they need the love that created them.

ERA Real Solutions says this holiday season, enjoy the moment you have and bake your favorite recipe from your family recipe box. The smell of the family dog, grandmother’s apple pie, and laundry detergent that your mom used to wash your clothes growing up make a house your home. Our community mission is to merge traditions to create new ones in our new homes.

“Do you walk into your grandparents, parent’s, or aunt’s house already full from a meal, and walk through the door, and suddenly you are hungry for the smells of the home.”

This feeling is genuinely the warmth of home. The rest can be a list to ready yourself, but the recipe for success is being prepared and following realtors’ advice.
