History of Hotels: How they became part of real estate
This is an interesting article, originally published on houzz.com
The first new types of hotels emerged in London in the mid-eighteenth century, back in 1760. Paris followed shortly after, opening accommodations under the name “Hotel Garni”. At the end of the same century, the hotel expanded throughout all cities in Europe. In North America, the hotel came in the early nineteenth century, spreading throughout the whole continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The evolutionary step from the tavern (“inn”) commodities to hotel commodities was instant, happening simultaneously on the old and the new continent. In the nineteenth century hotels become the social centers in the community. In the period from 1850 to 1950 there was a considerable growth in the number of passengers, who did not stay in hotels because of business reasons, but because of personal reasons like leisure and tourism. With the development of traffic and accompanying infrastructure, the need for hotels only grew.

Solly Assa Guide On Finding a great agent
Many home sellers make a huge mistake at the very start of this process by selecting agents that offer them the highest listing price for and the lowest commission. However, there are plenty of other factors to consider when you’re choosing an agent such as experience, skill, and reputation.
It takes time and effort to come up with an agent prepared to sell your home and get you the best deal possible while charging a fair commission rate. Make sure to choose an agent you like and who can relate to you because you’ll be seeing a lot of your real estate agent in the following months. Solly Assa suggests doing research before beginning the process. By doing so, you can discover which agents are working in your area and look through their websites, blogs, profiles, reviews or recommendations from previous clients. You can also ask friends and family for referrals in your targeted neighborhood.

Pro Tips from Solly
Paint is one of the simplest, most cost-effective home improvements. Freshly painted rooms look clean, modern and up-to-date. Overly bold shades should be avoided if you don’t want to risk having your house stand out for all the wrong reasons. Before you get started, it’s best to consult with a designer. Nowadays there are also virtual painting programs that can give you a preview. Home Depot and hardware stores often have professionals who can recommend shades and colors based on what you’re looking for.
Lastly, you should certainly consider having a professional come in to check out your home. He/she can offer advice on home improvements and may even discover hidden problems that could negatively impact your house’s value.
