The holidays are approaching. Today, we thought we'd do something a little different and share this festive video on holiday decorating tips from HGTV. Designer Angelo Surmelis shares several great ideas to spread holiday cheer throughout the home. Here are some of our favorites.

1. Pay attention to the mantle. If you don't have some already, buy some kind of garland to drape over the mantle. Next, use leftover ornaments and candles to add light and texture. When choosing ornaments and candles, ensure they are in the same color-palette. This helps make your mantle a great focal point!
2. Use smaller Christmas trees. Every house has their main Christmas tree. In addition, you can also purchase smaller, inexpensive, eco-friendly trees to place throughout the home. Decorate these trees with strips of fabric from a T-shirt in holiday colors to save money for the main tree.
3. Use what you have. Be resourceful. Adding a plate charge and place mat to your everyday dining set adds some jazz to your table. Fresh-cut flowers and candles will help finish the look. You don't need grand, expensive candles -- a little candlelight goes a long way!

As you can see, it doesn't take much to make your home feel more festive. If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!

Hey guys, today I wanted to bring in Jeremy Wilhelm, one of our preferred lenders at Private Mortgage Group to talk to you about some exciting new loan programs that are out there for buyers in the Omaha metro. 

There are 2 different programs that we are going to talk about today. The first is for first-time home buyers who might have less than perfect credit. With this program, you purchase a property, and take it "as-is", with no repairs done or negotiated. This option allows you to go in, renovate the property to your specifics, and allow you to get the home quickly and inexpensively. 

Another program is a conventional program called the HomeStyle program. This program allows people to do renovations with a loan all the way up to $417,000. This means renovating basements, adding pools, and other things that clients were told in the past weren't an option, are now an option with this program. New construction is very popular right now, and homes without finished basements are a perfect candidate for this type of loan. With conventional financing, you can get in with 5% down, and with an FHA loan you can get in only paying 3.5% down. 

If you have any questions about mortgages, feel free to give Jeremy a call at (402) 210-8352.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to speaking with you!
