collection of what you love”-Nate Berkus</blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the excellent ways to home our creativity is to
decorate the interiors of our homes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The possibilities of expressing ourselves are practically
endless and the ways you can create a home fit to your liking are limitless. In
this regard, home decorating can be seen as an avenue to convey our artistic
thoughts and transform them into expressions in furniture placement and décor
application. However, most homeowners are under the misconception that
decorating their homes is an expensive endeavor. Consequently, they would then
cut corners in a misguided attempt to mitigate home decorating costs and still
end up with a home that is passably beautiful at the very least. Unfortunately,
while you might be saving yourself some serious cash in cutting corners, you
are also inadvertently compromising the overall aesthetic quality of your
homes. The result of a home that is cheaply decorated (and with too many
corners cut) would be anything but beautiful. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep in mind that interior decorating does not always have
to be expensive. And the best part of all this is that a cheap-looking home is
not actually synonymous to a cheaply decorated home. There is a myriad of ways
you can decorate your home for cheap and end up with an elegantly sophisticated
result without breaking the bank—you just need to be extra careful about what
you buy and how to apply it. Remember, regardless of what your decorating
budget might be your main goal should always to improve your home’s interiors
and beauty. More importantly, you should endeavor to create an aesthetically
inviting and pleasing space that would beckon you inside. Create a space that
makes you anticipate coming home instead of dread it. So, whether you are
decorating your <span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.alveoland.com.ph/properties-for-sale-pasig/">condominiumin Ortigas Center</a></span> or elsewhere, here are some of the things you might
want to avoid applying in your interiors if you do not want your homes to look
cheap: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
One of the integral elements of a
well-decorated home is art--more importantly, a homeowner’s particular taste in
art. Unfortunately, a collection mass-produced art that often comes cheap do
not emulate the same effect as artworks that are uniquely curated and chosen.
Even worse, it can greatly cheapen the interiors of your home as well. An
original piece of artwork can do wonders even in a simply decorated room when
appropriately applied. However, if you are unable to afford original artworks
and paintings, look around in websites such as Etsy which would make it
possible for you to afford original and unique art at any budget. Alternatively,
if you have a keen eye for decorating and would like to attempt the DIY route,
you can even choose to do your own original artwork. This novel idea would then
inject a bit of originality into your homes and make it look even more beautiful.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
The minimalist approach is the way to go.
Keep your entryways tidy and devoid of too much stuff as it tends to create
visual noise. More importantly, make sure that the objects in your entryway are
organized and clean. To make this possible, you should apply as little décor and
furniture as possible. Entryways should look sophisticated and polished.
Remember, this gives visitors a brief impression of what the rest of the house
looks like. So, in this regard, make an excellent impression by investing only
in a select few pieces of functional furniture and original artwork. While you
may want to keep the place beautiful, it should still be functional first and
foremost.</div>

<h3>
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Overdone Themes</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Themes are great and they are an excellent
way for providing cohesion in the décor and furniture items you buy. However,
overdoing them is another thing. You might have wanted a nautical themed living
room but trust us when we say that is going to look tacky. After all, it is not
like the room is solely for the use of a thirteen year old. In this regard, it
might be best to replace decorating themes with decorating styles which is an
entirely different space. One of the fastest ways you can cheapen any space is
to have too much of one thing. Yes, you love the beach and plan on putting
ocean themed accents in your living room but a little too much of it would give
off the vibe of a themed motel room. Skip the theme and insert a bit of panache
by opting to do styles instead.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Rug that is too small</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
A rug that is too small would be easily
overwhelmed by other objects and furniture in the room. More importantly, it
would somehow be telling of how you cannot afford an even bigger rug for which
you opted with the much smaller one. Sometimes, a rug might be an extraneous
décor. Sure, it can go with everything in your living room but the size seems
off and would consequently make the rug feel like an afterthought. In any case,
if you are committed to adding a rug, be sure to pick one that fits right under
your furniture so that it does not appear as if it is just floating in the
room. Be careful not to choose one that is too large as well or it would make
your homes look too full.</div>

be more organized. Now I know I just needed less stuff”-Author Unknown </blockquote>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
If someone told me that a show about
sprucing up and organizing homes would be such a hit series, I would dismiss
them as raving lunatics. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
And yet here we are, craving for the next
season of Netflix’s innovative, albeit unconventional series: Tidying Up with
Marie Kondo. Capitalizing on her book series (and presently, TV series) Marie
Kondo is a Japanese organizing consultant who shows us alternative home
organizing methods that do work. The fact that the series is such a big hit
amongst homeowners can give us two key takeaways: Primarily that many
homeowners struggle with the general mess and clutter in their holds. Secondly,
alternative methods—no matter how unconventional-- do work. While Marie Kondo
already made waves with her book, she garnered international acclaim and fame
through her Netflix series and sent homeowners and netizens all over the world
in a cleaning frenzy and a decluttering craze. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
In sum, the book’s radical cleaning method
can be broken down in a two-pronged approached to tidying. First, you have to
take stock of everything you own which means you have to put your hands on
everything that you own. Ask yourself whether a particular item sparks joy and
if it does not, thank it for its service and get rid of it. Second, when
everything that has remained sparks joy then put every item in a place where it
is visible, accessible and easy to grab and put back. As a result, you will
then experience the nirvana of housekeeping and may never have to clean again.
So, if you have any cleaning endeavors lined up for the week, you might want to
take a leaf out of Marie Kondo’s book and apply it in sprucing up your homes or
your <span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.thegrovebyrockwell.com/">ready for occupancycondo in Ortigas</a></span>. Here are some of the critical takeaways of her book
that you can apply in your cleaning method: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Tackle categories, not rooms </h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
In lieu of tackling clutter by room, do it
by category instead. While this technique may seem more overwhelming than simply
going room to room and getting rid of the clutter, it yields better results.
Kondo’s first rule is to tidy by category. Deal with every single item in a
category before you proceed to the next one. Start with the least emotionally
loaded household item you have: your clothes. From there, you can work your way
up until such time that your homes are devoid of unwanted items.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Respect your belongings </h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
You might have been content seeing your
clothes squashed together and looking like a general heap of messiness. Kondo’s
technique is to consider your household belongings’ feelings: Do they like
being mashed together? Are your clothes happy that they are being crowded onto
hangers or that they have seemingly no space? It might not occur to you now, but
it might just be that your things are seemingly discontent with the general
disarray of everything.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Do not cling onto items because you are nostalgic</h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Nostalgia is not your friend. Yes, some
items spark fond and nostalgic memories that make you reminisce of good times,
but they are rarely worth it. Focus on only one category and do not get laid by
sentimental feelings by recalling the good days you had with a particular
household item. You might ask yourself what the point in purging your closets
is. More importantly, you might even ask yourself if you can manage with little
clothes. However, do not fret. While it might seem like a significantly big and
sudden change, you will manage.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Fold. Do not hang </h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Once you have properly sorted all of the
things you wish to keep and discarded the ones you wish to get rid of, it is
time to organize what is left. More often than not, our first instinct when it
comes to our clothes is to hang them immediately. However, hanging every
article of clothing can quickly spiral down to having closets bursting at the
seams with clothes. This is because hanging clothes takes less time than
deliberately and meticulously folding them. However, Kondo suggests that you
fold your clothes using her special technique which would not only save you
space but would actually take you less time to complete as well.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Any box will do </h3>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
A rather unfortunate occurrence that happens
in most cleaning endeavors is that people would seem to think that the lack of
appropriate storage is a setback which can really waylay your plans. But the
truth is tidying up your home does have to mean several trips to the storage
store and purchasing more storage items. Doing so would be counterintuitive and
would only add to the clutter. Do not get hung up about the lack of storage
space as practically any box will do. Marie Kondo even uses a shoebox to
organize bedroom and bathroom items. Take note: If you need more storage items,
you might have an unreasonable amount of clutter left behind. </div>

<br />
Like other careers, being a realtor comes with a list of responsibilities to clients and the property in the market. The obligations may pose as challenges, but the payoff makes it worth it. A <a href="https://www.ayalalandpremier.com/luxury-properties/house-lot/laguna-lh/">house and lot for sale in Laguna</a> that has a history, for instance, can open opportunities for you and serve as the big break you wish to have. For others, it can be real estate properties in Cebu which are priced beyond the typical household’s capacity. Either way, being a real estate agent can result in a rewarding career as long as you follow the guidelines for selling a house, condo or apartment complex.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you’re at the beginning of your career, it can be challenging to identify the things you must do to close a deal successfully. The same goes for knowing the things to avoid when dealing with a client. There’s a high chance that your encounters with clients and other professionals in the industry are far from a smooth sail. Fortunately, this list provides a few pointers on how to avoid the pitfalls of real estate selling.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is how you can sell the property under your belt without waiting to gain experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Show the property’s best features </h4>
<div>
As a realtor, you should be on your clients’ side while leaning a bit towards the property. It is important that you remain objective and serve the client as much as possible. But if you are assigned to sell a particular property, you should also be bent on offering it to house hunters. You should always highlight the house or unit’s best features, so people take an interest in it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Showing the property’s best features might pose a challenge especially if it’s a fixer-upper. The key is to look into the trends in real estate. Knowing your clients’ wants and needs also help in finding the features that would help you sell the property without a hitch. Before offering the property, you must first look into a clients’ background and assess if what the look for in a property is present in what you are trying to offer them. If it is, then you should point them out during the visit. If not, you should highlight the structure and other aspects of the home that can make potential homeowners reconsider it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Use natural light and other types of home lighting </h4>
<div>
Sufficient lighting indoors is a game changer. When you have enough light in a room, the property transforms into a warm and cozy space ideal for growing roots and raising a family. It helps house hunters and property buyers to see the potential of the house, apartment or condo you offer to them. Therefore, you must ensure that the property for sale has access to natural light and have working bulbs installed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first thing you should do is to have a room-by-room audit. Open the windows, push away the curtains and blinds while all of the lights are on. Look at each room through a buyer’s perspective. Taking photos of each room helps you see objectively. You should also do this at different times of the day—in the afternoon and night. It’ll help you address light issues such as dimming bulbs, shadows, and energy efficiency. The light audit also applies outdoors. Don’t forget to check them after you finish inside the property’s structure.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Wait for the right time</h4>
<div>
Like other things in life, there’s a right time for buying and selling real estate properties. Do not rush to find a buyer. If you do have a buyer, you should not pressure him or her to reach a decision overnight. Most buyers like to think about their choices before having a final decision. In that case, it is much better if you busy yourself with other clients. It prevents you from pressuring potential buyers and offering the property less than its original price.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Part of timing is having a buyer who can afford the price you offer. You might have clients willing to buy the property on the spot, but they won’t take it with the amount you set. Sometimes, the change in price isn’t under the influence by the buyer. It can also be from the ongoing market conditions. The supply might be higher than the demand which pushes you to slash the property’s price. Always consider these things before prioritizing the property in your sell list.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Cooperate and retain your professional stance</h4>
<div>
Real estate selling is a service. As a realtor, you assist people in finding the right home or office space. These people are placing their faith and trust in you to match them with a property fit for their needs and personality. It’s only right you provide the service they need. Thus, you should always remain truthful and hands-on with all your transactions. As much as possible, you must dispense the information you know about the property to clients. </div>
<div>
<br />
Being a real estate agent also means you must remain professional during real estate transactions and negotiations. When you are calm and relaxed, you can quickly deal with all kinds of people. Whether they are crass, loud or fussy, you can be useful and seal the deal when you choose to be objective and level-headed. Choose your battles wisely and be alert when facing money matters. It can help you in the long run and make you the best realtor out there. Most of all, it becomes a smooth sail to sell properties.</div>
<div>
<br />
The pitfalls of real estate selling often come from a lot of factors. However, most of them are with your influence and control. It means you can determine if you are successful in an endeavor when you think of how you can improve your skills and change your tactics.</div>
<div>
<i><br /></i>
<i>These tips can serve as a hack for selling properties. You can also use them as a guide to improving your selling skills as a realtor. Whatever purpose these may serve, the tips are-without a doubt-a huge help in advancing your career.</i><br />

<br />
No one relishes in being deceived by a trusted realtor or partner in growing your <a href="https://www.ayalaland.com.ph/residence/avida-towers-cebu/">real estate Cebu</a> investments. Though every scam story points to the scammer, it is also essential to note that each has participation. The scam can be a result of negligence from the buyer, seller or agent. Either way, no one looks forward to the event.<br />
<br />
There are several factors involved in executing the crime - the property, documents, lenders, sellers, buyers, agents, and third-party entities. All of these can perform the violations or be an accomplice. Hence, it's best to be aware of the real estate scams in the Philippines. Below are the crimes rampant in the industry and how they operate.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Abrupt Change in Lender</h2>
The property owner receives an official notice regarding the transfer of load to a different lender. Besides the change in the lender, the letter will also inform you that your remaining balance will be carried over a different account name.<br />
<br />
If you didn't request for any changes on your loan structure or anything connected to it, it's best to disregard the letter. Moreover, you must verify instructions before accepting any of the terms.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Bogus Buying</h2>
A woman under the alias <a href="http://www.wheninmanila.com/warning-to-real-estate-agents-beware-of-modus-from-bogus-buyers/" target="_blank"><b><i>Virginia "Virgie" Manalang</i></b></a> had gone around Manila to trick real estate agents and homeowners into giving her cash. She presents herself as a potential buyer of a property. She says she can purchase the unit or house and lot as she is married to an engineer in Australia who sends his monthly pension. To prove it, she issues a check worth hundred thousand as initial payment. However, she initiates to draft the deed of sale and handle the transactions from there. Her acts are questionable as she asks the agent or seller for cash so her lawyer can write the deed of sale. She asks additional amount to cover attorney and notarial fees. She also requests for photocopies of valid IDs and signatures which she uses to target other real estate agents and realtors. Her check is also a bouncing check and the bank account used for it belongs to a different entity.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Copycat Rentals</h2>
The person would post an online listing of his or her rental that seems harmless at first. The photos look valid as there are images of the rooms of the unit and its amenities. Fake agents use this tactic to ask renters for a deposit without meeting them in person.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Double Sale</h2>
It may be a case of an initial buyer of the property may neglect the registering and transferring the title, or a seller accepting a higher price thought a potential buyer already placed payment.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Fraudulent Schemes by Agents</h2>
Agents advertise properties that aren't for sale or currently handled by a different agent. They offer the properties at a low price to bait people. Once the client sends inquiries on the property, the agent will claim it as sold or unavailable. He or she will then offer their own listing which may have a higher price than the previous property.<br />
<br />
Some brokers and realtors may take advantage of their skills in selling and building rapport. They may misrepresent a property and neglect to disclose the most important details. Though it is the duty of the agent to be transparent on the pros and cons of choosing the land, condo unit or house and lot, they may not comply to close a sale.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, other agents connive to raise their commission fees. One acts as the listing agent, while the other represents the buyer. Both the seller of the property and its buyer aren't aware of the setup which distorts the value of the property. The practice violates the Code of Ethics and Responsibilities for Real Estate Service Practitioners.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Predatory Lending</h2>
Loan sharks and small time, unscrupulous financial institutions lure home buyers and house hunters to unfair and abusive loan terms. They coerce their victims through deceptive or exploitative actions to acquire a loan. Most of the time, the forced borrowers don't need, want or can't afford the mortgage.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Property Title Fraud</h2>
This type of scam involves the use of old property titles and use it to generate fake titles. The scammer provides supporting documents keep buyers from doubting the deal. Another way of doing it is by presenting a fake title over an existing an existing property regardless if it has an owner or not. People who neglect due diligence are potential victims of this scam.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Sale of Foreclosed Properties</h2>
This scam is rampant and likely to happen with Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) wanting to invest in a home in the suburbs like <a href="http://vermosa.ph/" target="_blank">Vermosa</a>. Scammers, who act as a homeowner or realtor, offer foreclosed properties to potential buyers who cannot check and inspect the property (due diligence). They forge the documents to make the transaction as real as possible. Once they close the deal and the buyers are ready to move in, they disappear. They are out of reach while buyers deal with the bank.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Unfinished Developments</h2>
Lesser known developers or names you haven't heard in the industry must be taken with a grain of salt. Scams involving unfinished developments include asking for reservation fees or amortization on a property without the advertised amenities and facilities. These add-ons can also be pending or abandoned by the developer. These developers may refuse to return the money leaving the owners empty-handed.<br />
<br />
Part of this scam is pre-sold properties with low rated that remain unfinished until the turnover date. The developer promises a different period. They move it several times until the buyer gives up.<br />
<br />
<h2>
“Too-good-to-be-true” Real Estate Champions</h2>
Individuals advertise themselves as experts who can provide insights on the market and valuable pieces of advice. They sell themselves by conducting seminars promising quick returns and strategies. They market immediate success which is far from reality.<br />
<br />
There are also individuals posing as real estate agents. They set up a website full of property listings copied from legitimate realtors. They trick home buyers by presenting forged documents and contact information to pay a security deposit or initial payment.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can avoid these schemes by raising awareness and spreading them to communities. That way, other people recognize the signs and report them to authorities and institutions immediately. Moreover, you must conduct your research when inquiring in a real estate property in Cavite or any place in the South. You'll have your notes to compare with your broker which can prove their reliability on the transaction.<br />

<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<br />
Renting a condominium unit, apartment or a house and lot may be a wise decision for others. Some people may think it's the right one for them. The answer always depends on the homebuyer. What are their needs? What are they looking for in the space? Is it crucial to be at a walking distance in their workplace? Can their salary cover monthly mortgages? There's a lot more to consider before settling on a home.<br />
<br />
As a first time homebuyer, you must note the factors that can affect your capacity to select and purchase the property that fits your bill. Whether its a checklist of the features you look for in a home, you must consider how all of these affects your homebuying capacity. Sometimes, a condo near a <a href="https://ayalalandoffices.com.ph/service-office">serviced office Makati</a> suits you better than a townhome in the area.<br />
<br />
Are you still deciding if renting an apartment a good decision? You can read the pros and cons below to resolve your inner debate. The list starts with the advantages and directly followed by the opposing thought.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Renting Pros</h2>
</div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<h3>
1. Affordability</h3>
The monthly rental cost is ultimately cheaper than the mortgage payment and interest fee. Of course, the price depends on the type of property you will undertake. For instance, a high-rise condominium will be more expensive than a bungalow in a gated community. You always have the option to share the space and split the expenses if you wish to settle on properties on the high-end market.<br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">2. Flexibility</span></h3>
A rental is much suited for people always on the move. House ownership won't tie them down. The typical property term is one to two years. Thus, homebuyers who aren't ready to commit can opt to rent. Once the lease expires, you can renew the contract terms or explore the housing market. <br />
<br />
Moreover, renting won't drain your finances once the economy is in a depression. Losing your job only results in a delay of lease payments. As interest increase, the mortgage payment becomes higher which can push a homeowner to give up their property.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">3. Hassle-free Maintainance</span></h3>
Since you do not own the rental, owner, landlord or a hired keeper will attend to damages and repairs in the area. They cover the fees for upgrading and fixing the features of the place. They ensure to maintain the quality of their property to satisfy their renters and keep their income flowing. All you have to do is save their number in case of an emergency.</div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">4. Exclusive Amenities</span></h3>
If you choose to rent a condo unit, you won't have to worry about recreation. A modern complex comes with high-class facilities such as an Olympic-sized pool, patches of green for relaxation and a basketball or a volleyball court. Others have tennis courts and laundry services. They include these facilities to create a wholesome and stress-free lifestyle for homeowners.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, a few apartments include pieces of furniture and appliances for the settlers. There's a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and even a dryer. You can stock up on food and other essentials once you get the place. How sweet is that?</div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">The advantages are great but there are </span><b style="line-height: 16px;"><i>downsides</i></b><span style="line-height: 16px;"> to renting a property as your home.</span></div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">Rental Cons</span></h2>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
1. Hidden Costs</h3>
The facilities in a condominium aren't free. Though you don't have to pay for maintenance and repairs in your unit, you have to contribute to the preservation of the common areas. Some property owners don't include the fees in your monthly rental, so you have to pay them yourself. It may consist of parking dues, hallway maintenance costs, or garbage collection. <br />
<br />
On top of that, your landlord may decide to increase your rent. The increase will affect your budget. It will be difficult to cope in a few months since you also must consider utility bills.<br />
<br />
<h3>
2. Temporary Dwelling</h3>
Renting a place isn't sustainable especially if you plan to expand your family. As more people become part of your home, you need additional space for each person as well as the stuff they lug behind them. You might be better with buying and owning a townhome or a house and lot. The rental won't provide the roots to stabilize and establish the history of your family.</div>
<div align="justify" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<h3>
3. Common Areas</h3>
Asking a relative, friend, or colleague to join you in an apartment solves your financial woes. Unfortunately, it won't provide much privacy. You have to share the bedroom or bathroom especially if you are in a studio type or one bedroom condo unit. Other problems may arise especially if your roommate isn't fond of cleaning and organizing their stuff. Then, there's also the snoring problem, the noise from the TV or the music blaring from the speakers during ungodly hours.<br />
<br />
<h3>
4. Limited Parking</h3>
A condominium complex comes with parking lots, but they aren't designated to homeowners. Hence, looking for a spot may consume most of your time. On top of that, you are competing with others to grab the free space.<br />
<h3>
<br />5. Pet Control</h3>
Some apartment rentals or units implement no-pets-allowed policy. It becomes difficult for you and your beloved furry companions to find a place to stay.<br />
<h3>
<br />6. Fickle Landlords</h3>
You have the perfect place, but you can't stand your him or her. They complain whenever you remind them of repairs or maintenance. They are even grouchy when you hand him or her your rental fees. Some property owners are also unreliable as they can trick you into giving in to their price even when the property inputs low-quality materials. They also won't allow remodeling. They want to retain the color of their walls or the placement of specific pieces of furniture and home accessories.<br />
<br /><br />There you have it! These are just some simple tips you should know for yourself even if you aren't a first-time home buyer. The pros and cons of renting will help you arrive at a decision. Hope this has been of help! <br /><br /><i><b>Note:</b> The article was first published on <b>June 30, 2014</b>, with the title "<b>The Pros and Cons of Renting a Place To Stay</b>."

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgreE9PUESEA5tFRcwdywOl0dpieB7VSR13StWw5ofAj09WlDql8OlvCoY8V4wwPrQowrya0slh_I14DNYdREtq_Yw0692ZWu2w2cAnwEMd1FisDl6Y1WYrax2WqMotHmbwhyphenhyphenXJs1n1g4/s1600/homes+for+sale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgreE9PUESEA5tFRcwdywOl0dpieB7VSR13StWw5ofAj09WlDql8OlvCoY8V4wwPrQowrya0slh_I14DNYdREtq_Yw0692ZWu2w2cAnwEMd1FisDl6Y1WYrax2WqMotHmbwhyphenhyphenXJs1n1g4/s400/homes+for+sale.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Managing properties, gaining commissions, and meeting a bunch of clients with different needs are some of the activities of a real estate agent. The hefty paycheck is motivating factor despite running around the city during the open house of two properties. Thus, a lot of people want to work in the industry as the job seems natural. <br />
<br />
It is at first glance. Once can become an agent as long as he or she can sell one 2br condo for rent Bonifacio Global City (BGC). If he or she influences a startup to go for a <a href="https://ayalalandoffices.com.ph/service-office" target="_blank">serviced office Makati</a> CBD, then he or she does a swell job of using their marketing tactics. As the industry, more people look forward to making a profession out of it. Thus, the <i>90/10 rule exists</i>.<br />
<br />
Before the regulations existed, anyone who finished high school or passed Grade 12 can become an agent. At present, one study the curriculum and obtain a license to be a realtor. Since most don't want to give the time and effort to finish the course, only <b>10 percent of the total number of real estate agents are doing 90 percent of the work</b>. <br />
<br />
It's evident that a lot of agents fail in their profession. Below are some of the hard truths in permeating the real estate industry.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>The real estate curriculum lacks the scope of marketing and deal management. </b>Some examples of topics that brokers must know and understand are:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Psychology of salesmanship</li>
<li>Art of selling and crafting deals</li>
<li>Networking</li>
<li>Creating listings</li>
<li>Presenting listings in a professional manner</li>
<li>Overcoming objections from buyers and sellers</li>
<li>Working with financial institutions</li>
<li>Dealing with appraisers and home inspectors</li>
<li>Communicating with utility companies and government agencies</li>
<li>Handling permits</li>
</ol>
Agents can learn these skills along the way, but they will become highly efficient in their tasks if they knew these things beforehand. They are likely to proceed and be motivated to pursue their individual goals if they know how to navigate the waters. Therefore, developers and real estate companies must provide mentorship, trainings, and seminars in their respective offices to minimize the agent failure and turnover rate.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Realtors, especially beginners, undermine their abilities.</b> Setting a timeframe for lead generation is acceptable. A 30 to 60-day real estate success may be correct for some and may not be for others. Lots of agents quit when they don't generate leads. They berate themselves and the market when they don't tick anything off their list. They leave early in the game without persevering and lose their confidence. When that happens, they become unlikely to take risks. They won't explore new strategies or try a new path yielding high returns.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Real estate entrepreneurs neglect the power of advertising.</b> Developers and housing realtors forget they are part of a business. A business needs investments to grow. Mixing traditional advertising and digital marketing increases the company or brand's outreach and, in turn, expands their market.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Being greedy with opportunities destroys a realtor's career path.</b> Real estate trades is and always was a job. Depending on the company's salary scheme, it is a reliable source of income. A lot of agents think that realty management doesn't qualify as a job, so they look for additional opportunities. Looking elsewhere places property selling on the sidelines and disrupts the focus on expanding the business.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
Consulting a licensed yet non-practicing real estate agent is no different from getting surgery from licensed, non-practicing doctor. When in the game, vision becomes limited. One can only focus on what's in front. Business owners focus on income and realtors to their commissions.<br />
<br />

<br />
A financial journey starts from the moment you receive a stable income. The salary from your first job, the earnings from your business after a year of operation, or the commissions from offering your skills and services to others are all sources of stable income. Though a majority of the adult population has a job, a lot of them still struggle with managing their money.<br />
<br />
Starting as early as possible to manage finances will go a long way. It preps you for the future. You can establish an emergency fund, purchase a home in Cavite's <a href="http://vermosa.ph/" target="_blank">Vermosa</a>, or travel in style. Whichever are your goals, here are four questions to ponder on regarding your money matters.<br />
<br />
<h2>
1. "What do you want to do with your money this year?"</h2>
It helps to remember that money comes and goes. You can earn back what you lost. However, it's gone forever once you lose it. All you can do is double your effort to earn the same amount or more than that. <br />
<br />
An adult with a stable job continues to earn their keep and receive their keep twice a month. The person will have a lot of cash at the end of the year assuming there are no expenses. Living with no expenses is the ideal lifestyle but far from reality.<br />
<br />
To remain debt-free and keep your balances afloat, ask yourself what you wish to do with your money. Is there anything you want to achieve? Do you have a big ticket purchase on your sleeve? Do you want to travel? Think about the things you need, first then follow it with your wants. Identifying the activities involved in achieving your goal lets you create a picture of your path.<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. "Does shopping or purchasing a certain item relieve your feelings?"</h2>
Some people relish the high from finding a bargain. Others occasionally indulge in a few purchases to keep their stock in check or get ahold of the latest trends. If you excessively spend your time and paycheck on shopping, you need to assess yourself.<br />
<br />
Shopping is fun, but it isn't a form of therapy. The rush of shopping is short-lived. On top of that, you can end up with debt that will take you awhile to pay up. You can also get into the habit of buying expensive things just to impress people.<br />
<br />
When you know the reason behind your shopping trips, you will understand how to control your habits and spur our impulses. Moreover, you won't have to rely on spending to feel good about yourself.<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. "Do you spend more time outside with friends and colleagues than you do at home?"</h2>
The people with you can influence your spending habits. Going out to indulge in after-work feasts or late night adventures with friends can burn a hole in your wallet. It can also lead you to a costly lifestyle. Meanwhile, preferring to stay at home with family can minimize the incidences of unnecessary spending. <br />
<br />
Being out most of the time also places you under pressure. You need to pay for everything to achieve the conveniences that are only available at home. Overspending and maintaining a break-even status can set you a few years from your financial journey. <br />
<h2>
<br />4. "Are family members aware of your financial condition?"</h2>
Single people can easily manage their finances as they don't have to worry about obligations. They can quickly pay off a debt, apply for a loan, and rely on credit. As long as they put their mind to it, they can take hold of their destiny. They can ask their parents or established siblings to help the rut during the early stages of their independence.<br />
<br />
It's a different story for married couples and those with children. If one of the pairs undertakes a debt, both sides have to adjust. The other person needs the support and encouragement of others. Their financial decisions will vary as they improve their lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Thinking of finances can be stressful, so it's important to take care of yourself. Better financial health may push you to shift your life choices, but you must not neglect eating well, exercise, and spending time with people important to you. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
It's a must to consider housing tenure when investing in real estate. The type of tenure determines the ownership of the occupants in particular housing unit. As settlers and inhabitants of the area, it informs you the extent of your legal status and duration of stay.<br />
<br />
Tenure can be tricky as it varies by location, existing laws and, the nature of the structure. It also depends on mortgage terms, the economic and emotional connection between the unit and the household. Currently, there are four terms of tenure in the country. Some of them may apply in other housing locations.<br />
<br />
Hybrid housing tenures are products of changing societal norms and community structures. They are a combination of the common types and other elements that affect dues, monitoring and stewardship. <br />
<br />
<h2>
The four common types of tenure are:</h2>
<h4>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">1. Owned or being amortized</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Rented </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Free settlement with the permission of the owner</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Free settlement without the consent of the owner</span></li>
</ol>
</h4>
When the settlers have the right to claim the housing unit, then they own the property. They have legal claims over the occupied are regardless if they are on mortgage or amortization. A house and lot for sale in Cavite, such as those in <a href="http://vermosa.ph/" target="_blank">Vermosa</a>, are examples of homeownership acquisition.<br />
<br />
The next type of tenure is the rental. To utilize the unit, its occupants must pay rent in cash or kind. They have temporary claims on their settlement. Their right to occupy the area depends on a contract or drafted stipulation.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, occupants may dwell in a location without payment. As long as they have the consent of the owner of the area, they may use it as their settlement. Rent-free houses and living quarters under private ownership can are examples of this tenure.<br />
<br />
Contrast to these free housing units is makeshift houses and slums in various communities. Squatters and households with no permanent address who take over abandoned public and private properties are part of the fourth type of tenure. These residents settle on an area without the consent of an owner.<br />
<br />
If you are investing in real estate properties, you use housing tenure as a guide to make decisions and sound judgment. Still, it's essential to consider other housing tenures. Non-profit organizations and the public sector came up with solutions to the widespread housing problem. <br />
<br />
The remaining tenures target lack of housing units and decreasing land areas to develop. Examples of these are <b>community land trusts, cooperative housing, mutual housing associations and government housing</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Cooperative housing</i></b>, also known as limited equity co-ops, is synonymous with c<b><i>ommunity land trusts</i></b>. A legal entity such as a corporation or non-profit organization oversees and manages the residential buildings and complex. They are responsible for keeping the price of the units at an affordable price. <br />
<br />
Entities are responsible for coop housing and community trust low to medium income households. Thus, shareholders of the development have the right to settle on a unit. They are similar to homeowners in this manner.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Mutual housing associations</i></b> are prevalent in condominiums. Individuals have the right to own a housing unit. In this manner, they form a community of homeowners considering their joint ownership over the communal areas.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, there are <b><i>public settlements under the initiative of government housing agencies</i></b>. Relocation homes and sites are examples of these. The public sector may partner with private entities and non-stock, non-profit organizations. The accommodations are free or offered as rentals at a low price.<br />
<br />
<i>A lot of communities have mixed types of housing tenures due to various economic and societal factors. Several influences determine the relationship of the housing unit to its owner. It's best to research the current housing tenures in an area before settling on a home.</i>Who is Wealthierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12037208686768102419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633957156765996712.post-11035198302576481472017-11-14T17:57:00.002+08:002017-11-14T17:58:56.793+08:005 Condo Hacks To Living in Luxury<div style="text-align: justify;">
People mistaken luxury for expensive tastes. However, luxury is all about comfort and quality combined with pleasing architecture or design. An example of luxury is the expanse of <a href="http://www.ayalaland.com.ph/estate/bgc-bonifacio-global-city/" target="_blank">Bonifacio Global City</a>. Almost everything you need for a great urban lifestyle is within a distance of condominiums and communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your condo is in the area of BGC, it's only ideal to pattern its design to the aura of the city. Here are some ways to hack your condo and enjoy the feel of the modern lifestyle.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Fill an empty space.</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="art, wall, space, home, interior design" border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdMQcEG_I1p1BJC9t98GxaXzlglD1zxT5B7IRI7SXhItLeIDKLdEXOBE0saN1iXyG9fPMvu16gZbJ2bT8FZrVQzuyJT1G5Q1ud4abmc1bOiUrdYXFPZWOZ25Bax7fl_r5LhLdqGWKGy4M/s400/breather-196130.jpg" title="White wall" width="400" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be more specific, fill an empty wall. Start by painting a fresh coat of white on plain walls. White walls are easier to work with in terms of design. They are friendly to various colors and prints. A clear wall is also similar to a blank canvas. It allows you to install shelves, cupboards, artwork and other kinds of wall hangings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can make a gallery wall in the living room by using different sizes of frames for family photos and mementos. You can hang sculptures, mirrors and other pieces of art to create a salon-like arrangement for promising hallways and bare center.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Make use of surfaces. </h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggWmA-czQdC3Hcmj2QR9kEC_GkFyTu8yKmDR0K_9PP7kGWEOVrFsiUXtPakCo7DUbNvR-BIr8d-knaPyoN2XjcQqj6_WOMFx_4TAw7ekcPwA8xrdPpHf3iNa-sxHK3Uq1UDJ8hvmQGRpQ/s1600/norbert-levajsics-343107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggWmA-czQdC3Hcmj2QR9kEC_GkFyTu8yKmDR0K_9PP7kGWEOVrFsiUXtPakCo7DUbNvR-BIr8d-knaPyoN2XjcQqj6_WOMFx_4TAw7ekcPwA8xrdPpHf3iNa-sxHK3Uq1UDJ8hvmQGRpQ/s400/norbert-levajsics-343107.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A luxurious condo caters to refined tastes and simplicity. It makes use of the less-is-more approach and avoid clutter and over accessorizing the areas of the home. To achieve a simple look, keep the items with the highest value. These items and pieces of furniture may have sentimental value or string of positive memories attached to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can place small items on coffee tables, desks, and countertops. If you don’t have a lot of items to display, you make the surface of the table the center of attention. A pastel marble coffee table, a glass top dining table or a sleek matted wooden desk are enough to serve as centerpieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Prioritize the sitting area.</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtFDKtzb7IyW_7atxg8xNv-90m9OnerUfR1Zoy_JPQFAA6aFyyUDpcwqKj33Rmd1sXv4tUlCzr-IgNoIK4lik6FCZdHRSymY7kB2tWNO4ZTTlJ8BGkvisc34y4j6FOnvCbyIlfE9rMRPY/s1600/dan-gold-220226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtFDKtzb7IyW_7atxg8xNv-90m9OnerUfR1Zoy_JPQFAA6aFyyUDpcwqKj33Rmd1sXv4tUlCzr-IgNoIK4lik6FCZdHRSymY7kB2tWNO4ZTTlJ8BGkvisc34y4j6FOnvCbyIlfE9rMRPY/s400/dan-gold-220226.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the kitchen, the busiest area in the house is the living room. The TV is usually in the living room. Other than that, people come in the foyer to socialize or relax. If you plan on spending a sum of money on decorating, you better spend it on the couch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the activities in the area will involve sitting on the sofa. Hence, it pays to make it a comfortable experience. Moreover, the couch is the most prominent piece of furniture in the room. It’s best to choose a sofa made of materials that last such as linen, wool, and velvet.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Identify the colors you want to include in your home.</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHYFHtMSS9nVPU8p6ANHfItp6MyjDepfLCpKQk4jtnoV1ThWUyXK-GrRSskzjVOKav0GNImTlhqJS6uIrbHKq4KLg_S_80wijGyNo9mmrrX0oz2i-3xSonuJAdTabnt-fP8Qa19tzMvPw/s1600/canva-photo-editor.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHYFHtMSS9nVPU8p6ANHfItp6MyjDepfLCpKQk4jtnoV1ThWUyXK-GrRSskzjVOKav0GNImTlhqJS6uIrbHKq4KLg_S_80wijGyNo9mmrrX0oz2i-3xSonuJAdTabnt-fP8Qa19tzMvPw/s400/canva-photo-editor.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ultimate cheat to making a luxurious casa is in the colors of the elements of design. Tasteful and well-decorated homes are color coordinated. It follows a palette or a set of colors that run throughout the indoors of the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Light colors are perfect for smaller spaces such as condos and lofts. Pastel hues and soft, muted tones allow light to enter the area. It also helps it appear larger than it is. Integrating a contrasting color or a slightly darker shade enables you to create an exciting palette you can use in the different area of your home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
5. Install additional light fixtures.</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4fUBX42aAcmHzQy2HshlyXKnTOcvx05RnTmBHAUm-N0IuXQQQCn6QiEM4cAqckL4qNCbNknFIYlhrFUYngUj8kXhsB-pVJyAAOUNSSngYeAax5EIqzX7wopBlQzWBFZ71Wiiro2irlIo/s1600/patrick-schneider-146210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4fUBX42aAcmHzQy2HshlyXKnTOcvx05RnTmBHAUm-N0IuXQQQCn6QiEM4cAqckL4qNCbNknFIYlhrFUYngUj8kXhsB-pVJyAAOUNSSngYeAax5EIqzX7wopBlQzWBFZ71Wiiro2irlIo/s400/patrick-schneider-146210.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Natural light can be limited because of a tree, building or structure next door. It can also be due to wrong window placement. These factors can your home appear darker due to the lack of light. Enhancing the shadows and dark areas shrinks the appearance of your home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fortunately, these details can be fixed. Having proper ambient and task light fixtures provides instant design while increasing the brightness of the area. Each room can have a combination of both - several lamps and an intense hanging light. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>These hacks are simple and easy to integrate. They also won't cost you a lot. Though living in a business district like BGC can be expensive, the ways to make a luxurious condo is cheap and modest.</i></div>

Halloween is over, but for some people, the horror of dealing with the unexplainable and unknown happens every day. Most people look forward to catching up on the spooky and thrilling movies on Netflix, but people dabbling in sales or retail would instead take a shot of tequila or vodka to forget the day’s horrors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are lots of unforgettable stories when you work with people. Some stories bring chills and raise the hairs on the back of the neck while others just have the shock factor. They make you forget to form the right words because of the extreme emotions it produces. A haunted <a href="https://ayalalandoffices.com.ph/offices/quezon-city">office space for rent in Quezon City</a> sure has more appeal than dealing with inconsiderate or rude customers daily.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of all the industries in the world, there’s nothing crazier and more chaotic than <b>Sales</b> and <b>Retail</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Customers</h2>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a clothing retail store, some customers tend to try on a lot of stuff and ask about everything. Later on, they come up to say they want nothing from the pile. These customers don’t understand how difficult it was to pull out a pair of jeans under the mass of clothes. You had to twist and extend your body to reach the box of size 9 shoes only to find out they dropped the order.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On top of that, some people leave their trash in dressing rooms. All the gross stuff that shouldn’t be there all over the floor. Soiled diapers, napkins and fast food wrappers are examples of things that shouldn’t be in changing cubicles. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, this happens in any store. Snoopers probe a lot of questions about the product condescendingly and tell you they are just “looking.” Then, there are “frequent shoppers.” They boss around and act like they own the place because of their loyalty to the brand or store. If they love it so much, why don’t they work there? Also, if they are loyal shoppers, they should know the company’s policy of asking for i.d. A lot of people still complain about this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, who would forget the live-fast-die-young people? These people will shop like there’s no tomorrow only to return the items by Monday. Unfortunately, some of these shoppers replace or exchange the stuff in a less-than-stellar state, which makes the job ten times harder. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t forget the teenagers. The young crowd is excellent for attracting crowds. Their high energy and unrefined tastes are great for marketing the basics - food and clothing. Sometimes, their energy gets out of hand that they are starting to bother other shoppers. Moreover, they TOUCH everything and wreak havoc in the store.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Children are cute, but once they start to open their mouth, annoying cries and loud screams come out. Toddlers who are beginning to walk or like to run around the shop are also prone to breaking stuff and cover everything with saliva.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you think you’re done dealing with children, there are those who act like children. Children are not into responsibilities so those the kind of shoppers who enter the store before closing time. These people don’t think that store employees and shopkeepers are human too. What’s worse, they specifically ask you for help after you’ve clocked out. The same goes when people give the exact money after you’ve entered the amount they gave you on the register.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing that would add to a great day is when clients and customers ask for the manager, and they won’t talk to you because you are too YOUNG to be a general manager.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Management</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are days you doubt there’s someone out there who plays tricks on you especially when you have to work on your day off. It’s only been a year since you’ve been in this job and you like you’ve gained years because of stress and exhaustion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re the middleman, you’ll eventually get tired of customers complaining about management and the quality of service they got. If they want to change something about the company or service, they should go ahead and complain to the manager. They should go ahead and do it because no one can hold their pee that long.</div>

Another day at <a href="https://www.ayalaland.com.ph/office/u-p-ayala-land-technohub/">UP Ayala Technohub</a>, slaving for 8 hours. You have an idea brewing in your head. You also have a plan to improve your group’s communication system and project management style. But these powerful ideas or well-kept backup plans are just in your head, and won’t matter unless you share it with the group; most importantly, to your superior. Until then, it will just be a plan or idea that won’t be making the changes you envision for the company.<br />
<br />
The aim is to have their approval. To hear that sweet sounding yes is a melody to the ears, which makes you fly high in the sky even if it means being buried in paperwork. Before that, you have to face your boss, the management or who ever it is you have to talk with to settle the proposal. Sometimes, it only takes one chance for the person or committees to decide your faith, so it’s better to ace it on the first try.<br />
<br />
Few experts had a say on<b> how to successfully present a pitch to a challenging audience</b>. To show off your ideas without a hinge, read on to find what the experts had to say to amp your presentation.<br />
<br />
<h4>
John Rood of <i>Next Step Test Preparation</i></h4>
John Rood suggests to lay out how managements should judge the project’s success quickly. What are the indicators that the project will be a success? Having a specific goal will help you set measures of success or key performance indicators (KPIs) early on. Step-wise goals or buildable goals are easier to digest than having a long-term goal. It also suggests that fewer risks are involved. Thus management is more accepting of the idea.<br />
<br />
To reduce the risk of rejection, form alliances with those in the upper levels of the company who will approve the pitch. Test out the waters, talk with them to see what clicks and what doesn’t. It will also help you improve and expand your idea. There will be instances when they will see the details you may have overlooked. The more feedback you get for your pitch, the better you can prepare for the actual and formal meeting.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Phil Chen of <i>Systems Watch</i></h4>
It’s not enough to just have the proposal ready; it’s also important to prove you can handle it. They want to see a work ethic that can sustain the onset of the project throughout its growth. You have to show redeeming qualities<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">—</span>agility, thoughtfulness, and efficiency.<br />
<br />
Remember that you still have current task and projects. Phil Chen advises preparing an outline that illustrates the order of your priorities. It will show you still have the time and resources to lead a new project. The outline is especially useful if you haven’t proven your leadership potential.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Brian Honigman of <i>BrianHonigman.com</i></h4>
Brian Honigman shares a piece of advice that isn’t often followed. Composing a polished plan shows the time a thought invested in it. It also shows you’ve reviewed potential problems along the way. It suggests you can take charge and lead the project which will help convince the management of the proposal.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Kenny Nguyen of <i>Big Fish Presentations</i></h4>
As much enthusiasm you show when presenting the project, prepare to defend your idea when objections arise. Being able to justify your proposal is particularly useful when negotiating with investors. You should not be swayed with counter-arguments no matter how logical they may seem. Withstand the onslaught of questions and prepare a counter-attack. <br />
<br />
Thus, when answering the management or investors’ queries, pay attention to the current inquiry only. Give a simple and straightforward answer. Avoid getting thrown off your train of thought by overthinking the panel’s questions.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Jyot Singh of <i>RTS Labs</i></h4>
The benefits of the pitch should be clear - how will it add value to the company. Jyot Singh says the presentation should be directed to those benefits and the ways how it will be utilized by the audience of your presentation.<br />
<div>
<br />
A presentation that states the advantages of the projects creates a positive mindset over the project proposal. With that, keep your winning statement simple.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Adam Stillman of <i>SparkReel</i></h4>
Of course, create visual aids. Adam Stillman knows the importance of visual aids. Visuals are powerful; they help make the plan seem real and relatable. Visual aids also hold power regarding communication as the information comes much faster and lingers in the form of memory. <br />
<br />
When creating visuals, concentrate on the essentials. If it allows you to explain the project, return on investment and growth strategy for five minutes, then you’re good to go.<br />
<br />
These experts know what they’re talking about, and you should too. When proposing an idea to top level management, remember to account for risks. The less risk involves, the higher the chance to get their approval. A clear-cut and carefully constructed plan will cover the basics. No matter how polished the proposal is, there will be details which aren’t acceptable to the audience. Hence, prepare to defend your ideas during the presentation. It means you can handle it the pressure and sustain the project.<br />
<br />
<i>As a realtor, it is part of your job to present products and services to clients and top management. Therefore, knowing these tips are valuable to your career.</i><br />

In return, you should also be open and honest about your deals and offers. Other salespeople tend to blanket some details and just tell the leads and customers the good things. Technically, they are not lying but try to put yourself in the customers’ shoes - does it feel good? We know that the answer is no. Besides, if you’d end up covering some truths and they found out that this is not what they are looking for, this problem will go back to you, and it will be a burden for you to take. Just be careful on which details are open for disclosure and not as some information are confidential.</span></b></div>

In high school, others want to know (including yourself) what course you are going to take. For sure in college nearing graduation, you answered the question “So what’s your plan after?” couple of hundred of times. You came to the point where you just want to answer “I don’t know” because you are so tired and annoyed. But surprise! In job applications, you will be answering “How do you see yourself in the next five to ten years?” and other similar questions. But actually, you need to think about your plans and start acting on it sooner or later. It’s okay to be lost from time to time as self-discovery is a process. So don’t pressure yourself, okay?</span></div>

It’s not every day that you can rely to your parents or guardians for extra cash. Moreover, if you have plans like taking post grad and quite expensive vacations, you need to have your own money. If you think you are already financially ready and mentally prepared, you might also consider getting insurance and investment for your retirement or future use. Is it too much? Not really. You just don’t want to burden your future self or future kids on how you will be able to survive when you’re too old and weak to work.</span></div>

But don’t forget to keep the faith and your hopes up. Just like how you made it in college, you’d also be fine, even if stressed, in the “outside world”. Remember that the most important person to trust you is you, yourself. There are times where you doubt your skills and abilities, but keep on working to be the best version of yourself and never stop trying, and soon the world will witness your greatness.</span></div>

<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Some people are
scared of buying a <a href="http://www.atayala.com/avida/bgc-taguig/avida-towers-34th-street">BGC condo</a> for sale because they often think that buying and
living in a condominium is a seriously expensive lifestyle. Is it, or is it all
in our heads? The article will shed light on the most common misconceptions
about the money involved in buying and maintain a condo. Notably, be reminded
that a condo is not the building per se, but the type of ownership. When you
buy a condo, you are actually paying for the unit in low-, mid- or high-rise
building and the interest in common elements within the building.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Condominium
presents itself as an easier way to access the housing market although,
sometimes, it depends on the type of condo (luxury condos, for instance).
First, DMCI condo ownership is not equal or close to home ownership. In the
latter, you are free to change the interiors and its immediate exteriors. In
the former, you need to consult the association or board first before making
any physical changes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Since the condo is
a communal ownership, you need to pay a monthly association fee for the
maintenance of common areas. The fee that unit owners or renters pay is
collectively used in maintaining the building. Some of us think of the fees as
an additional expense, but it is not. It is a monthly contribution for the
building’s upkeep as well as the utilities and some amenities like cable and
Wi-Fi. Imagine how much you have to pay if you have to pay for each monthly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Be wary of condos
that require high condo fees because these are indicative of poor financial
management on the part of the association. Nonetheless, reasonable is a very
subjective term; what’s reasonable for me may be absurd for you. Better ask the
condo manager or association a breakdown of the fees, so you’d know what you
are actually paying for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Further, the
monthly condo fee that you need to pay change yearly. This is because the board
calculates the cost depending on the coming year’s projected cost. If there
will be major repairs for the next year, expect higher monthly fees.
Nevertheless, the additional amount must be justifiable and appropriate for what
the condo building needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">As a condo owner,
you cannot and you should not escape the higher fees because of their impact in
the future. If ever you decide to sell your unit, it would be difficult if the
common areas are not well-maintained or if the floors and roofs are damaged all
because the association has no funds to maintain these areas. This is because
of unit owners who aren’t paying their monthly fees. The buyer will ask for a
hefty discount which is often higher compared to the cost of the monthly fee
and the cost of maintaining such areas.</span><span style="color: #242f33; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Some owners assume
that condo fees cover everything. They don't. The entire building has
to be maintained as well. So, condo associations schedule a regular assessment
of the building to ensure and preserve its structural integrity. If in case,
after the assessment, a major repair is required, the condo owners have to
contribute for the repair. That is, if the association has no reserve fund for
such.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Assessments are not
an additional expense as well. These are conducted to ensure that the dwellers
are safe and secure. You buy a condo because of convenience, security and
amenities. If any of these is threatened, then the value of the building
including your unit will decline. That’s how important assessments are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 44.0pt; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 26.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #242f33; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;">Evidently, the
misconceptions stem from unguided, misinformed expectations specifically about
the responsibilities of the condo owners. Not to mention, several poorly
managed condo associations eventually lead to more money issues. So, before
jumping into buying a condo, make sure that you are 100% financially ready!</span></div>

person. Whether you are living in a <a href="https://www.alveoland.com.ph/taguig-bgc/condo/" target="_blank">condo BGC</a><b> </b>or any real

There will always be
a profound feeling when we have our home cleaned. Who would not want
to clean their home, right? Even if we are so busy with our work or
in school, we always find time to do all the household chores. Nobody
wants to live a dirty and messy home. That is why we clean and we
make sure that the environment is healthy enough for us to live.
Whether you live at <a href="https://www.blogger.com/=HYPERLINK(%22http://www.alveoland.com.ph/condominium/cebu/sedona-parc%22,%22http://www.alveoland.com.ph/condominium/cebu/sedona-parc%22)" target="_blank">Sedona Parc</a> or any real estate property in the

If you think that you are not living in a satisfying lifestyle, then

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">However,
considering the busy schedules that we have from work or school, we
tend to forget how to brighten up our space. Sometimes, we even

enough time to clean up. Right? And if you are one of those people
struggling on what and what not to do when it comes to decorating
your space, then you might want to refer these tips below.</span></span></div>

<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whether

<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Aside

succulents. It doesn't just look good on your apartments pace, but it
is also beneficial to your health. Moreover, you definitely would

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If

lamps or open the blinds</b></span></span></h2>
</li>

<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If
you feel like your space is dark enough, then you have to purchase a
lamp or open the blinds. Of course, you definitely don't want to live
in a space where everything is dark, right? A good lighting is also
important for you to consider to make sure that you can see clearly
on the things around you. Moreover, this is also one way to protect
your eyes from the dim light that you have in your apartment.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One
thing that can add life to your space is the choice of your color. If
you have a darker shade of color at home, then you will most probably
have a darker themed home design. However, if you are one of those
people who wanted to brighten up their space, then you also have to
make sure that you choose colors that are light. Well, you can also
choose pastel color to have some accent on each of the design in your
room.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">“</span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">One of the reasons I became a designer in the first place was
because I love collecting and then putting it all together. But when
you're designing your own house, one of the hardest things to do is
finish it. Because you're always finding and adding your next
favorite thing." - Suzanne Kasler</i></div>

<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
Although there are hundreds to thousands of online shops, that
doesn't guarantee that you can get the right furniture for you. You
can find furniture with a cheap and affordable price. Who would not
be tempted to buy such, right? And if you are not careful on what you
are buying, then this may lead to regretting your decisions later on.
Whether you are renting a place in a <a href="http://www.alveoleasing.com.ph/makati-condo-for-rent-lerato/" target="_blank">condo for rent in Makati</a>
or any condominiums, you definitely don't want to fall into that kind
of scheme, right?</div>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
For you to avoid such unwanted situations, below are some ideas you
can get on how to shop home furniture online successfully for a
beautiful interior design.</div>
<h2 style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<b>How do I know it will fit?</b></h2>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
You will not know what size of your furniture you need to purchase
when you don't even know the measurements of your home. If you are
planning to put your furniture in your living room, then you have to
determine the measurements of the space provided before you will know
how big or small should you purchase. Knowing the measurements ahead
is easier and faster when deciding what furniture you need to buy in
your living room.</div>
<h2 style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<b>Affordable prices</b></h2>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
This is one of the many things most homeowners tend to consider
first. Yes, cheap and affordable prices may be a temptation
especially when your money is budgeted. But don't be fooled by the
price, some of them may have a little damaged that is why they sell
it to you at a lower price. Moreover, there is also furniture that is
too expensive, yet they are not worth the purchase. That simply
means, before you jump to any decisions, you have to double check and
make sure that the furniture that you choose is durable enough for a
long term use. And if not, then you have to find other furniture that
would match your lifestyle.</div>
<h2 style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<b>How will it look close-up</b></h2>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
When choosing furniture, there will always be a risk when you don't
know what it looks like up close. Who knows? Pictures can also be
deceiving. Moreover, photographers also know who to do the angling of
the photo to make it look good online. And if you want to make sure
that you will be a buying the furniture that you want, then you have
to find or ask another photo for you to know how it will look like
when it's close-up.</div>
<h2 style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<b>Is assembly required?</b></h2>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
Before you decide to purchase a particular furniture online, you have
to know if that particular furniture needs to be assembled. If so,
then you should also make sure if they offer personnel that would
help when it comes to the installation of the furniture.
Additionally, you should also be keen when it comes to the parts of
the furniture. If there are small pieces that are lost, then you
might not get the desired outcome when the assembled furniture is
complete.</div>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
Choosing the right furniture for your home online is not that hard as
you think it is. Yes, you may find a lot of furniture online. But
before you decide to purchase one, then you have to make up your mind
and ensure that you will not regret the decisions you make later on.
Again, online shopping may be a convenient way to shop, but you also
have to make sure not to be deceived by any prices or looks of it.</div>

<a href="http://www.melissamovesbutte.com/uploads/6/5/0/6/65066117/2525824_orig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.melissamovesbutte.com/uploads/6/5/0/6/65066117/2525824_orig.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If there is one ingredient for a relationship to work out, that is when both parties understand each other. Well, if you don't want to disappoint with one another, you both have to work out the things that make the relationship last. It is no different with the relationship between the realtors and the clients. Especially when a client wants to invest in a <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/manila" target="_blank">condo in Manila</a>, there must be a good rapport to make the investment success.<br />
<br />
If you want to have a good outcome of the investments, then you should possess the right attitude. It is just a matter of how you approach and handle the situations. Well, if you have the right character, then there would be room for a relationship to work out. Below are some of the relationship goals, you might want to try to achieve with your clients.<br />
<br />
<h2>
1. Maintain clear and constant communication</h2>
<br />
If you are serious about making the investment success, then you all have the right to have a clear and constant communication with your client. Of course, who would not want to take it seriously if you are serious about making it work?! However, having and maintaining a clear and constant communication with the client can also be demanding and daunting. There are times that your schedules would not match with each other. That is why it is important for you to make some adjustments.<br />
<br />
As a realtor, you have to adjust in a way that both of you can make room for discussions about the things that you want to achieve. It is important for you to know and understand the concerns of your clients to have a clear and smooth process of investing. Also, you have to respect the client's way of communicating. If your client wants and prefers to discuss the real estate transaction in personal, for example, then as much as possible, don't discuss the things through the phone. When you do, you might disappoint your client, and you don't want that to happen. Right?<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. Anticipating clients' wants and needs</h2>
<br />
If you want to make your clients be impressed with your service, then try to anticipate their wants and needs. Of course, it is not an easy task to do, especially when you have a client who is not certain about what things he/she wants to have. However, if you successfully anticipate their wants and needs, then it is easier for you to have a good understanding with each other.<br />
<br />
As a client, I would be amazed how a realtor easily grasps the things that I want to have. Knowing what interest your clients' the most would definitely be an advantage for you to know what are the things that they might also like and want to have. Anticipating your clients' want and needs is not just about impressing them, it is also one way to make the deal done with no complications in the process of investments.<br />
<h2>
<br />3. Deliver appropriate services and tools</h2>
<br />
Have you ever be confused on what kind of services are you going to offer to your clients? Have you ever tried giving them the things that don't even fit with their needs? Well, you will experience that kind of situation when you don't have the right and appropriate services and tools that are intended for them and fit their needs.<br />
<br />
Strategically, when you have the right tools and services for your clients, it will help you make your work easier and convenient since you know what kind of services that would match with the needs of your clients. You need not panic when it comes to presenting and offering them the things that interest them since you know that what you offer would be to their advantage, and that leads them to engage and pursue with their investments with you.<br />
<br />
Also, it doesn't just be to your advantage, but it will also be to the advantage of your client since they will get what they want and need. Giving them the right services and tools would be much easier for them to choose their ideal place to live.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/lompocrecord.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/6/d9/6d975fd3-9896-518f-a28d-ef0b7cf8512b/58d2e91bc22e4.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C800" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/lompocrecord.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/6/d9/6d975fd3-9896-518f-a28d-ef0b7cf8512b/58d2e91bc22e4.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C800" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Ok, let's just face the fact that we can't always be organized on the things we do, especially when you are a busy person. We tend to put our things here and there without realizing that it is going to be a mess on our home when we don't attend to it immediately. Of course, it is undeniable that there are just times that we tend to clutter. Whether you are living in <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/manila" target="_blank">Condo in Manila </a>or any real estate property in the Philippines, there is no reason for you not to organize your things at home.<br />
<br />
However, if you are one of those homeowners who is just having a hard time considering how busy and hectic your schedules are, then below are some things most organized homeowners do to make their home neat and clean.<br />
<br />
<h2>
They try not to own more than one of something</h2>
<br />
Having a lot of things may be good at some point, but there will also be a downfall when you try to own more than one of something. When you do, you are collecting things without even realizing that you already have plenty of them. Moreover, if you are not a kind of person who usually put things immediately in its proper places, then this might be a mess on your home.<br />
<br />
Well, if you are one of those people who just love to collect things, then you have to make sure that you have storage that is intended for that particular thing. If not, then this is going to be a mess if you don't know how to put those things in their proper places.<br />
<br />
<h2>
They know that everything has its spot to be put away</h2>
<br />
When it comes to your stuff, you have to make sure that you have a proper storage to it. If you have so many clothes, then you need to put it in your closet and not just anywhere in your house. Moreover, if you have a habit of putting things immediately on its proper places, there will be lesser chance that you will have the need to worry about the mess that you have made.<br />
<br />
All you need to do is provide storages for your belongings. When that particular thing has its storage, then it is much easier to put them back to its proper place immediately.<br />
<br />
<h2>
They don't buy things if they don't need it</h2>
<br />
There are just times that we are tempted to buy things – just random things that we see at the mall. But before deciding to buy that particular thing, you better think again and again if it's worth your money or not. If you think that that particular thing is useful then go ahead and buy it. If it's not, then skip that thought and go on with the things you need to buy.<br />
<br />
Moreover, if you can't think of a place where you should put it, that would only mean that it is not that necessary for you. If you still do, then it will only just add up the clutter. And I'm sure you don't want to clean themes all the time in your home, right? That is why there is a need for you to think before you buy it.<br />
<br />
<h2>
If they don't use it (or like it), they lose it</h2>
<br />
What's the use of keeping that particular thing when you don't like it in the first place? Right? If you want to de-clutter, you have to make sure that you are not keeping things that are not useful to you anymore. And if you don't want to throw it all away, then you can perhaps give it to the person who likes it or can still be of use to them.<br />
<br />
You will know which of your things are not that useful to you since you don't use it regularly, and you just ignore that particular thing. And if you don't throw it away, then this is also one of the reasons why there are so many dust on your home.<br />

<a href="http://img.lightersideofrealestate.com/2015/01/10-things-realtors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img.lightersideofrealestate.com/2015/01/10-things-realtors.jpg" height="208" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Home selling is one of the common investments most people do. Agree? Yes, since buying a property in <a href="http://www.alveoland.com.ph/condominium/quezon-city/high-park" target="_blank">High Park</a> or any other properties in the Philippines is also an investment in the future. That is why, if you have just noticed, more and more people are now into real estate investing. Who knows, you can be one of them too.<br />
<br />
However, one of the reasons why most homeowners would decline your offer is because you have some issues that you fail to oversee and fix. Of course, homebuyers are also keen when it comes to those matters. Well, to give you an idea, below are the reasons as to why your home isn't selling.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Overpricing the home</h2>
<br />
When selling a property, always remember that home buyer would overlook an overpriced home. And if you tend to raise the value of your home, it would most likely take you some years before you can successfully sell your home. Of course, who would want to invest in an overpriced home when they can have a property that is affordable enough for them to have without compromising the quality of the place. <br />
<br />
Moreover, you have to know that even rich home buyers would also overlook a property that is too expensive without any assurance that they can have what they want. Of course, the value or the price of your home is one of the deciding factors of most homebuyers. That is why you also have to be careful when it comes to deciding on what price your property should have.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Failing to prepare the home before listing</h2>
<br />
Never list your home online if there are still a lot of home repairs or renovations that you need to do. Well, talking about cleaning, decluttering, repairing, decorating, and other things you need to do to beautify your home. When you don't care about all these things, this can turn-off homebuyers and would decline your offer without any hesitations at all.<br />
<br />
The beauty of your property is one of the main factors why home buyers would choose your home. That means the interior and exterior design of your home would matter when selling your home. And when you have such beauty on your home, homebuyers would line up for that.<br />
<h2>
<br />Not being accommodating for showings</h2>
<br />
If you want to sell your home, you have to expect that there would be time where you would show your property to your potential homebuyer. And if you are not that accommodating and approachable enough with your clients, they would not like to continue investing in your property. Of course, there are a lot of home sellers who are willing to show their homes.<br />
<br />
Additionally, showing your actual home to home buyers can also be one of the deciding factors for them. If they like what they see, then they will most likely invest in your property. But if not, then think about what other things that you miss or fail to see. With that on, you will have an idea on what and what needs to be done to make homebuyers like your property.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Covering up potential issues</h2>
<br />
This is one of the reasons why home buyers would back out from your offer. People naturally don't like secrets especially when they know they can be involved with that matter. How much more when you deal with home investors? Covering up potential issues such as bad odors, bad foundation, no facilities that can be of use, and other major or minor defect found at the property would cost you a big mistake.<br />

you are aware of it or not, a happy and productive life starts in
your bedroom? Perhaps, as a kid, you may not care about how messy
your room can get. As you grow older, you'll realize that having a
sleep sanctuary is essential to living a better life. After all, your
bedroom is where you begin and conclude every single day. Keeping
your room clean, tidy, and organized would make a sleep sanctuary.

you not to have a charming bedroom.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So,

which furniture to keep</span></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bedroom
makeover would also mean deciding which furniture you have in your
room to keep. Of course, you are not going to put all your
furnishings in one place. Right? This will only make the room look
congested. That is why it is necessary for you o know what furniture
is best for your room. Moreover, before you buy anything new,
consider updating your existing furniture with fresh paint or knobs.

<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If
you do not have any old furniture that you can reuse or recycle, you
can look for fresh and new pieces that can be used in your room.
Moreover, you can have small side tables, cushions, throw blankets,
lamps, and small-scale armchairs to add a welcoming ambiance whenever
you come into your room.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">4. Try
a small DIY project</span></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">

room. Perhaps, you can have some old things that you might want to

on your mind. </span></span>
</div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">5. Think
about color and lighting</span></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="fil-PH" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
it comes to bedroom makeover, you do not just think about its design
but also its color and light. Whether you realize it or not, these
will give your room an in-depth. But before you decide to buy paint
enough for the whole room, you can use extra-large paint swatches or
get sample-size amounts to trying out colors directly on the wall to
prevent any costly mistakes. Moreover, the right lighting can
instantly make the biggest change in your room. That means, you also
have to be mindful when choosing the right lighting fixtures that
will look good in your room. Perhaps, you can add some ambiance with
