Everyone says having a pre-WHATEVER will put you ahead of other home buyers, but you are not sure what it means! Today we are going to clear up the confusion by helping you better understand the terms.

1. Brighten Up: Avoid Dark Rooms at all times, make use of natural light. Put up the blinds and fold the curtains. To lighten up rooms with no natural lighting use light fixtures, lamps, mirrors, and anything else that serves to illuminate and reflect light are all welcome additions.
