The Town & Country Realty Real Estate Guide will continue to feature the non-profits in our community that we are supporting through the Your Listing Matters program

in an effort to expand the exposure of these extremely deserving organizations. Contact your Town & Country Realty Broker today to find out more about how your listing makes a difference in our community. If your organization has a need, please reach out to us at community@tncrealty.com and let us know.

Albany Public Library has grown hearts and brains for well over 100 years. Their diverse collection of books, music,

magazines, games and more are offered by a friendly and professional staff whose motto is “Jump up and serve.” Their Children’s room and programs are second to none and offer year round opportunity. They expect their youngest to grow up safe and strong and smart, and provide a warm welcoming place for that adventure. They encourage all citizens to think for themselves and commit to lifelong learning. The Albany Public Library values their elders. There’s a welcome place for everyone, and a freedom to thrive, one book at a time. Generally, over 1,000 people a day visit the two libraries, and borrow 600,000-700,000 items each year, saving millions of dollars. There are seven storytimes, including bilingual, each week, and diverse programming for all ages throughout each month. Rounding out April is a Maker Space Day; Pints & Paint at Deluxe Brewing; and Dia de ninos y libros—a bilingual celebration of literacy and families.

Albany Public Library

The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library has locations in Corvallis, Philomath, Monroe

Your Listing Matters Community Spotlight

by Catherine Fisher, Managing Principal Broker of Town & Country Realty

You have decided to buy a house – that’s great! But where do you start? If you are like most people, you start online

looking at Realtor.com and other websites. You probably also stop by an open house or 6. Both of those are great! Before you go much further on your own, you want to do a few things:First, choose a Realtor to represent you and only you! You want a Realtor advocating for you, helping you with contract negotiations, and navigating timelines. Pick one that you like and trust – someone with experience, professionalism and

loyalty. Do NOT pick the same Realtor that represents the Seller. If you were to do that, a dual representation or dual agency situation would be created, and the Realtor will be required to be neutral to both the Buyer and Seller. In a dual agency situation, neither the Buyer nor the Seller has someone advocating for them exclusively in the transaction. Some might even call dual representation, no representation!There is a myth that a Buyer can save money if they use the same Realtor as the Seller. This is not true. The total commission for both the Buyer’s Realtor and the Seller’s Realtor, which is normally paid by the Seller, has been agreed upon by the Seller and the listing Realtor prior to the house being listed for sale. If the same Realtor represents both sides, there is no reduction in sale price – the Realtor receives the entire commission instead of sharing it! Additionally, you, as a Buyer, should not need to pay an additional commission above and beyond what the Seller is paying, in most cases. So, get your own Realtor to work specifically for you because you are paying for it anyway!Second, work with the Realtor you have chosen to help find a well-known, ethical, local lender. Have that lender preapprove you for the amount you can afford and that you feel comfortable with. Then you will know exactly how much maximum to spend on your new home. Additionally, you want to make sure you are prepared to write a strong offer – the strongest offers have a strong preapproval attached - one from a well-known, ethical, local lender.Once you have done both of those steps, your Realtor will show you homes that meet your desired criteria, including homes that are “coming soon”. Most homes require an appointment to view, so work with your Realtor to find a time that works for both of you to view the home. If your Realtor says they are too busy for you then you did not pick the right Realtor, try again. You are not “bothering them” when you ask to see a house – that’s their job! Given the low inventory in most price points, you might not be able to find your dream home, but you will find one you love. To find an experienced, professional, loyal Realtor, and your next home, call Town & Country Realty at 541-757-1781 in Corvallis and 541-924-5616 in Albany where we have been providing the place you love to come home to since 1951!

Nothing says spring more than a fresh and bright

bathroom.We have been remodeling a lot of bathrooms lately and it is very satisfying to

transform something outdated into a modern, gleaming gem. Many homes in our area still have bathrooms that have not been updated. Owners are ditching the old fi berglass showers the size of a phone booth and opting for larger showers with tiled walls and lots of glass to get a more spacious feel. We commonly remove jett ed tubs or tub/shower units in order to make room for a larger custom tiled shower. There are so many great looking tile choices available today. Tiled showers usually incorporate built-in benches and wall niches. Home owners wishing to age in place are requesting

zero entry showers. Eliminating the shower curb makes accessibility easy while proactively planning for any future mobility issues. Installing modern clear glass panels and frameless doors allow you to see the beauty of the new tile and also make the bathroom look and feel larger. A popular option is a hand shower that can be used alone or at the same time as the main shower head. Ceiling mounted rain heads are also in big demand.Custom cabinetry allows incorporation of special features like niches with charging

stations. Don’t forget to include quartz countertops. Together with under mount sinks, this combination makes cleaning easy.White and gray are still very popular colors. Chrome fi xtures have that classic look, while brushed nickel remains very popular and seems preferred. The current trend is to replace those large wall mirrors with smaller individual framed mirrors. Recessed lighting with dimmable LED bulbs is a great option along with lighted and magnifying

makeup mirrors. My favorite exhaust fan features a built in forced air heater to take off the chill after a shower. Other popular fan choices are for those with sensors that automatically turn on when you enter or activate when the humidity reaches a certain point.Combined together these ideas will make your bathroom more inviting, and provide a spa-like retreat right at home! Whatever you decide, don’t be afraid to make a statement.If you would like our assistance in transforming your bathroom, please feel free to contact us at 541-619-5787. We will walk you though the process, your options and the costs involved.
