Seattle Mortgage Terms – A Few Basic Mortgage Words You Should Understand   A Seattle mortgage is a form of a loan intended for buying a house. Like any other loan, a mortgage loan charges interest. It differs from other loans in many ways that have to do with the interest rates charged and the time taken to repay the loan.  Common terms referring to mortgage loans include:  Interest and Principle  A large amount of the repayment consists of interest charges while the remaining amount covers the repayment of the principle. The interest rate is the charge that the bank makes you pay to lend you the money. The principle is the amount you actually owe on the home, minus the down payment.

This week we staged a spacious North Seattle home. The real estate agent was getting tons of showings for this listing, but potential buyers were not getting very excited about this house. The home is vacant, but the previous owners left some furniture in the living room.  We suggested that they remove all of these items prior to staging.  To our surprise, when we arrived on staging day there was an upright piano in the dining room, which we moved to the living room and made is part of the design plan. Here is the living room before staging:   Living Room after staging: Staging by SISTERS Interior Redesign, Edmonds, WA, 425.776.7890, www.sistersredesign.com Give your listings the advantage of professional staging.  Contact us today for a complimentary quote.

The two most common questions we get as stagers are, "Where do you purchase your inventory?" and "Where do you store your inventory?"  The answer to the second question is easy:  We have a large warehouse space in Lynnwood, close to the freeway, where we also park our truck.  It's heated storage and we have 24 hour access, which comes in handy! The first question is usually answered, "Everywhere!"  I thought it would be fun to take a look at a staging job we did last week for a North Seattle starter home and list all the many sources we used to stage this home.   Living Room:  Items in this room came from Macy's Home Store (sofa), Overstock.com (slipper chair), TJ Maxx (aqua table, lamps, pillows), Ross (mirror), Pier 1 (coffee table), Costco Home (area rug).
