April is Fair Housing month, and we at Century 21 Bono Realty are taking our training a step further to better serve you.

“When buying or selling a home, you should work with a real estate professional who understands your unique circumstances and needs. We understand the importance of being able to adapt in today’s market.

By developing a business practice rooted in inclusion and equality, and backed by the At Home With Diversity (AHWD) certification, we can help buyers of all cultural backgrounds achieve the dream of homeownership.

As a result of the program, we're better able to assess the attributes of diversity in local markets, as well as their impact, which allows us to effectively serve all clients regardless of race or cultural background.”

HOMEOWNER TIP n

There are Great Options for Window Treatments Provided by Budget Blinds Get inspired and surround yourself with today’s most beautiful and popular design trends for your windows. Regardless of your decorating style, it helps to understand the vast array of window treatments available and their functions, and how they help create a look that reflects your personal style. When choosing window treatments, consider the many benefits, such as privacy, light control, UV protection, energy efficiency, and child safety.

WOOD BLINDS Their clean line design works with any style room; mount them alone or pair them with drapery panels. Wood blinds add warmth, character, and dimension, while providing privacy and light control. If the look of wood is desired, but humidity is a concern, composite or faux wood blinds are a good alternative.

PLANTATION SHUTTERS Shutters may be the most timeless and versatile window coverings and always make a statement. They are like custom made furniture for your windows. They are perfect for a sunny bedroom, look crisp in a kitchen, or can add drama to a den. Also, shutters work well in either classic or modern rooms, are available in a wide assortment of colors, frames, and louver size. They can even be made to fit unusual shaped windows, such as arches, angles, and octagons. French door cutouts are available in several styles.

SHADES Shades provide the largest variety of color, style, and function. Some types are: • Roller Shades - today’s roller shades are not like your grandmother’s. Like a favorite “little black dress,” roller shades are a classic that complement any décor. Designer inspired fabrics work with any décor and look great layered with draperies.

• Woven Wood Shades - made from eco-friendly organic materials.

The shades add a new level of softness and natural beauty. The texture of these layered with drapery panels will create a warm, elegant look.

• Solar Shades – are perfect for patios and sunrooms. They deflect the sun’s rays providing UV protection for your furnishings and help cool the room, reducing energy costs.

DRAPERIES To transform a room and create a custom look, choose custom draperies. With all the colors, textures, and patterns available, you can express your personal style. By adding embellishments and decorative hardware, you’ll have a truly custom look that’s nothing short of amazing. Many of these options can be cordless or motorized with smart home apps to create a more carefree and convenient environment for your home.

HOMEOWNER TIP n

How to Choose What Type of Door is Best for Different Exposures?

Provided by Creative Door & Window When choosing a door style, the location and exposure of the door unit must be taken into account. If your door does not have an overhang that hangs out equal in distance to the height of the door unit then that would be considered high exposure.

Also which direction the door faces must be taken into account.

Doors that face East or West will be subjected to the morning or evening sun and will likely have more trouble with the finish over time. The exposure to the elements will heavily affect your door and require more regular maintenance and refinishing, Below I am listing three exposure categories and I will make recommendations for each.

HIGH EXPOSURE High exposure is when the overhang is not equal in distance to the height of the door, and direct East or West facing: In these applications, we highly recommend an all fiberglass or aluminum clad door unit. Also it would be far less maintenance to paint the units with a quality paint. Staining doors in a

APRIL 2023

high exposure area usually requires extensive maintenance sometimes as often as bi-yearly.

MEDIUM EXPOSURE Medium exposure is when the door is under a good overhang but still facing East or West: In this exposure a custom wood door will work just fine if painted. Staining will still require more regular maintenance issue due to the direct morning or evening sun although it can be done. Fiberglass doors or aluminum clad doors are great options here as well.

MODERATE EXPOSURE Moderate exposure is when the door is under a deep porch facing North or South): This exposure opens up far more options. Staingrade wood doors, staingrade fiberglass doors, as well as any of those products in paint grade. The protection from the elements provides far more flexibility in materials and finishes.

I AM REAL ESTATE

I am the basis of all wealth, the heritage of the wise, the thrifty and prudent.

I am the poor man’s joy and comfort, the rich man’s prize, the right hand of capital, the silent partner of many thousands of successful men.

I am the solace of the widow, the comfort of old age, the cornerstone of security against misfortune and want. I am handed down to children through generations as a thing of greatest worth.

I am the choicest fruit of toil.

Credit respects me, yet I am humble. I stand before every man bidding him know me for what I am and possess me.

I am growing in value through countless days. Though I seem dormant, my worth increases, never failing, never ceasing. Time is my aid and population heaps up my gain. Fire and the elements I defy, for they cannot destroy me.

I am trustworthy. I am sound.

The thriftless speak ill of me.

The charlatans of finance attack me. Unfailingly I triumph and detractors are disproved.

I am producer of food, the basis for ships and factories, the foundations of banks. Minerals and oils come from me.

I am so common that thousands, unthinkingly and unknowingly, pass me by.

I am increasing in strength. The centuries find me younger. My possessors learn to believe in me, invariably they become envied.

While all things wither and decay.

I survive.
