Tammy’s Story – Coldwell Banker
“When I realized my personal success was tied to group decisions — made by less productive agents — I knew it was time for a change. I found that making the switch from a competing brand to a Coldwell Banker office was the best career decision I could have ever made.”

Home sale prices up 4 percent in region
A track of the Pittsburgh region’s residential real estate activity in August finds more homes put under agreement and higher average prices than a year ago. West Penn Multi-List said Thursday that the number of home sales rose 11.7 percent in its 13-county region in western Pennsylvania compared to August 2011. The average home sale price was up 4 percent to $173,311. A recent ranking by The Business Journals found Pittsburgh to be one of the top metro regions for growth in the U.S., thanks in part to its steadily rising home value over the past several years. West Penn Multi-List President Ron Croushore said in a prepared statement that it was a strong summer and year for real estate in western Pennsylvania. “With more people moving into our region than leaving and the positive attention Pittsburgh has been getting on the national stage, we anticipate the momentum that we’ve seen in residential real estate to continue,” Croushore said in a prepared statement. “Interest rates are still very low, which should continue to entice people to enter the real estate market.” For the year through August 2012, homes put under agreement were up 12.5 percent and there was a 5.2 percent increase in the average home sale price to $167,382.

Ask for a Raise: By Nicole Barley
Original article found in Whirl Magazine Add wall-hung fixtures to your bathroom to achieve an elevated, spacious look. Want to transform your bathroom into a contemporary, easy to clean, more accessible space? Everything in this set is wall-hung, from the cabinets to the vanity and toilet. Palace Collection by LAUFEN, price upon request, SPLASH. Consider it done if you plan on installing wall-mounted fixtures. The sleek look is a long-standing trend in Europe, and now, it’s becoming popular in the United States. During her visit to the 2012 Chicago National Kitchen and Bath Show, interior designer Nancy Barsotti, FASID, noticed the increased amount of elevated sinks, vanities, and toilets being offered by a number of manufacturers. “What I like most [about the trend] is it is both beautiful form and beautiful function,” she says. “It looks clean, modern, updated, and from a functional standpoint, it’s easier to maintain. The pieces give a more spacious look because they’re not interrupting the line of the floor.” “Nuvo” collection by The Furniture Guild, price upon request, SPLASH. Frequently seen in commercial settings, for example, in hotels, the design style is becoming increasingly popular in residential projects for a number of reasons. “The reason I think the trend has evolved in small spaces like bathrooms, from an aesthetic point of view, with a raised vanity, the eye looks across the floor, and it gives the impression of openness. In many of the typically smaller Pittsburgh bathrooms, it opens up the space,” says Suzanne Baker, Showroom Manager/ Design Consultant with Crescent Baths & Kitchens. It’s a more hygienic design solution too, as the raised pieces allow for the entire floor to be cleaned, as opposed to having to navigate around the base of a toilet or sink. Wall-mounted toilets provide a streamlined look to the space as well, and the simplicity of the fixtures allows other aspects of the room — such as tile, flooring, and countertops — to shine. Not only is the tank concealed in the wall, but this style of installation brings the fixture closer to the wall, which “again provides more space and maneuverability with smaller bathrooms. It makes them more workable in many, many ways,” says Baker. “LB3” collection by LAUFEN, price upon request, SPLASH. When it comes to installation, Barsotti says, “A competent contractor will ensure that there is appropriate bracing and blocking within the wall.” She explains that with these sorts of fixtures, the wall plaster must be broken into to install the necessary retrofitting, bracing, or studs; the pieces cannot be surface mounted. Another plus is that, depending on the customer’s desired look, the vanities, toilets, and sinks can be installed at any height. They can also be mounted to accommodate universal design principals, thereby making the space accessible to users of any age or ability, from children to seniors. One of the drawbacks of wall mounting is reduced storage space, whether it’s drawers or doors. However, Brenda Corbett, manager of Elite Plumbing Systems, explains that [...]
