Everyone knows some inside trick or information they share with their family and friends (sometimes). Every professional acquires some unique insights over time. A broker in the business for 20 years can teach a young whipper-snapper a thing or two. Life is a teacher.
Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could share the little tricks of their trade? Well they can at Tricks of the Trade, where you can learn “professional secrets from those in the know“.
In this community wikiteria, all sorts of professionals pass on inside information to help make your life a little easier. The site could use a search box but still worth a visit.
Here’s one tip from a Residential Developer:
Here are some ways to make even the smallest condo seem spacious. Remove all interior doors — no one notices, and hallways and rooms immediately feel bigger and more open. Use custom-built furniture scaled down for the space. Glass and lucite tables ‘disappear,’ and large framed mirrors magnify space. Lastly, print take-away floor plans on huge sheets of quality paper — even a 450 square-foot studio suite looks exciting and big on an attractive 11×17 sheet.
