Set against the backdrop of lush and enchanting landscaping this charming one-level ranch home in the peaceful Woodland Bottoms neighborhood has many possibilities.The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home built in 1986 is updated stylishly, with warm and inviting elements of farmhouse chic design. The 1,459 square-foot fl oorplan includes a spacious kitchen, open living spaces, a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove and brick hearth. With everything on one level, minimal steps and an accessible entrance, the fl oorplan suits the needs for a range of ages and abilities.Outside is nearly an acre of possibilities including a shop built in 2018 with its own separate offi ce and bath as well as RV and boat storage. The beautifully landscaped yard is fenced and includes a garden area with raised beds perfect for growing fl owers or vegetables. This would be great home for someone with a small business, starting a family, aging in place, or anyone looking for more space and a change of pace. Represented by Erica L. Rodman, 360-281-0768.

Rules to Seeing Homes… What a Buyer Should KnowWhen you hire a Realtor to help with your new home adventure, you are ready for the fun part – looking at homes! This is an exciting time for buyers, as every home you visit has the possibility to be “the one”, the one you make an offer on, the one you buy, the ONE that becomes YOUR HOME.Remember, this is very stressful for the seller because currently it is their home and they’re leaving so strangers can come in and make it their own. From the homeowners (sellers), we ask that the home be available to show, that the home is clean, nothing of value is left out, and all medicines are out of sight (not left in bathrooms or kitchen cabinets). Anything that a seller wants excluded from the sale is noted, and they are asked to be gone for showings.Before we go house shopping, we ask that you (the buyer) have a pre-approval letter with a solid lender, do not look at homes above your price range, and know the top three things you want in a home.When a Realtor opens the lockbox to show you a home, we are taking responsibility for everything that happens from that moment on, until we lock up the house and put the key back. Real Estate is not like HGTV; you don’t get to wander the home while your Realtor sits outside. We must be with you at all times when touring your potential new home.Often, we have more than one home to look at. Many homes are owner-occupied so your Realtor makes appointments. We do the best we can to make sure we have enough time to look at the homes, but we need to stay within our timeframes as the sellers are waiting to come home, or other Realtors waiting to show the home.ASK QUESTIONS!! This is a home you are considering buying. Your Realtor is here to help. If we can’t answer your questions, we can at least guide you in the right direction to get your answers. Buying a home is a very emotional experience. Your Realtor is here to point out pros/cons, and to help you. Trust your heart, but use your head... or your Realtor. Remember, we work for YOU!

LUSH AND ENCHANTING RANCH HOME IN WOODLAND
Home is where the heart is, and it’s also where homeowners express
their style. Though interior design may come naturally to some homeowners, many more can benefit from a little help defining their style and translating that style into a beautiful home. In such instances, interior designers can be the most valuable investments homeowners make in their homes.
Homeowners may hear “interior designer” and immediately hear the sound of cash registers ringing in their heads. However, many interior designers offer various services, including hourly consultations, that can make them cost-effective, especially for homeowners who are still trying to define their style and decide just how they want their homes to look. That’s just one of the many benefits of working with interior design professionals.
· Interior designers can save homeowners money. Paying an interior designer when you have little experience with design can help you avoid potentially costly mistakes. Interior designers are skilled at transforming
homeowners’ visions into finished products, and that’s a valuable skill homeowners don’t necessarily have. Trial and error when designing a home’s interior can be costly, even if you’re not knocking down any walls or swinging any hammers. For example, after renovating on their own, homeowners may
find they need to replace a new couch or dining table that they realize contradicts their design scheme. Interior designers can help homeowners avoid such costly mistakes and get it right the first time.
· Interior designers can help you coordinate your style. Every component of a home’s interior
says something about its owner. Whether it’s their choice of lighting fixtures, furniture or appliances, homeowners make a statement any time they choose a design component for their homes. Interior designers can help homeowners coordinate their style so each room seamlessly transitions to the next
one. An ultra-modern living room may stick out like a sore thumb in a home that’s predominantly rustic, and interior designers can help homeowners avoid such mistakes.
· Interior designers recognize what’s trending. Interior designers tend to be up-to-date on the latest trends. That can be incredibly valuable, especially for homeowners who are anticipating putting their homes on the market in the near future. In such instances, designers can help homeowners invest in updates or renovations that will appeal to today’s buyers, increasing the likelihood that their homes will sell more quickly, and potentially for more money.
· Interior designers are well-connected. They often collaborate with contractors. These professional relationships can help homeowners avoid the headaches of finding the right professionals to work with when renovating their homes.
Many a homeowner has benefitted from working with interior designers. Such partnerships can help homeowners transform their residences into the home of their dreams.
