Nothing quite says luxury like shimmering, shining metallic interiors and textures. Not only do metallics stand out by nature, but they also have a tendency to provide a stunning design contrast. Classic metallics never go out of style and can give any room a modern touch.

Metallics

Nickel
Chrome
Stainless Steel
Brass
Copper
Silver
Gold

Uses
Experiment with metallics in your home as an accent. Try painting a stairway handrail silver or using a metallic paint on your washroom cabinet finishes. Make a bolder statement by using a metallic paint on your walls. Consider stripes or using a stencil with both a flat and a metallic paint. Another trend to try is the metallic ceiling.

California-Home

If you’re thinking about buying a home but feeling overwhelmed by the process, this list is for you! At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, we know the home-buying process can look daunting. But we’re here to help. Start by reading our outline below to help you find your perfect home.

Determine feasibility and affordability. Before jumping into a mortgage or loan, check your credit. You can obtain a free credit report annually by visiting annualcreditreport.com. Check your report for errors. If you find any, dispute them before beginning the home-buying process. If your credit score is on the low side, see what you can do to remedy it before getting a loan. The higher your credit score, the better the loan you can apply for will be. Once you’ve squared away your credit, calculate how much you can afford. Factor in the money you’ll need for a down payment, closing costs and other fees. Work with a home-loan specialist to help you understand the costs involved with buying a home.
Look for a lender and a real estate agent. When it comes to your lender and your agent, the best thing to do is shop around. Start with recommendations from friends, family and coworkers. Research companies through online reviews and the Better Business Bureau. After you’ve found the right lender, start the preapproval process. This is where your credit history comes into play in helping you get the best rates. Once the preapproval process is complete, begin your search for a real estate agent. Work with someone who understands your needs or specializes in the areas where you want to buy.
Finding the home. While many homes are on the market, not all of them will meet your needs. Create a list of features your future residence must have. Consider a separate list of items you would like but aren’t a necessity. Share the list with your agent to help him/her find the best home for you. To find your perfect home, search online and look through open-house guides.
