Painting Today's Market Myths... from MORALES!


Myth: It's a terrible time to sell.

Truth: When properties are priced competitively, homes sell quickly - regardless of the market.
I'm here to arm you with the facts, data and insights you need to list your home so that it sells!
Contact me to find out how much your home is worth in today's market.



Did you know that paint color is powerful?
Paint can not only alter the mood of a room, but also our physiology!

  • Black - Great accent color.  Imparts elegance, formality and sophistication.  Too much black can be depressing.
  • White - provides a sharp contrast to any wall color.  It also gives the illusion that the space is bigger.  Peace, simplicity, and spaciousness.  
  • Purple - Stimulates brain activity
  • Blue - Slows pulse rate and lowers body temperature.  Often used to heal
  • Green - Soothing effect, calming.  Renewal, youth and vigor. 
  • Yellow-  happiness and optimism.  Creates positive psychological vibes. 
  • Orange - energy and warmth.  raw and flamboyant.
  • Red - energy and excitement.  It actually makes the heart beat faster.  Desire and passion.
What does your favorite color say about you?!

Opportunity's knocking ... from MORALES!

OPPORTUNITY
"Some men see things as they are and ask why.  Others dream things that never were and ask why not."   
-George Bernard Shaw



Did you know:
  • The Rainbow is a reflection of perfect balance of the physical world
  • Rainbows are positive energy
  • Rainbows are the universal symbol of peace and harmony
  • Rainbows are Gods promise - Genesis 9
  • The angle of light refraction to create a Rainbow is 42 degrees to the eye of the observer
  • Rainbows and music are made of the same stuff just vibrating at a different frequency
  • The true shape of a Rainbow is a complete circle
  • Roy G Biv - The way to remember the colors of the Rainbow --red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
  • What we see, feel, hear, taste and smell exists between the frequencies of red and violet
  • Can you go under a rainbow's arch and come out the other side?
    Not according to the laws of physics. A rainbow is all light and water. It is always in front of you while your back is to the sun.
  • Do two people ever see the same rainbow? No. As the eyes of two people cannot occupy the same place in space at the same time,
    each observer sees a different rainbow. Why? Well, because the raindrops are constantly in motion so its appearance is always changing.
    Each time you see a rainbow, it is unique in its own spectacular way! Many people consider rainbows to be an omen of some kind.
