Hi Everyone

Realtors tend to go on vacation in August, the same as everyone else. The market slows and fewer sellers want to list their home during this month. What people do not realize is that the Buyers are still out there. They have seen every house out there and are wating to jump on any new home that hits the market. So I do not vacation in August, nor any other month for that matter since people are always looking for homes. The best I can do is a long weekend here and there. If I have clients, I am working. So if you are on vacation, I hope you have a great time and enjoy the sun. Peter Owen

A Trendy Solution for Home Interiors: The Barn Door

Sliding barn doors can add a modern twist to an interior space. Malte Strauss, broker and owner of Trust International Real Estate LLC in Deltona, Fla., says the barn door trend has caught on in central Florida.

“They are great for locations where a swinging door would infringe on the space and where there is not a conventional doorway,” Strauss says. “We use them all the time in master bathrooms where there is a vanity area that is separate from the tub commode area.”

They can also be a great solution in modernizing the vanity area of homes from the 1970s and 1980s, which tended to have the vanity in the master bedroom rather than in the bathroom. “Now we just close those off with a barn door and buyers love that solution,” Strauss says.
