As we start to grow older, the reality of retirement looms great in our minds. We don’t want to struggle and scrimp, eating cat food and living in a studio apartment to survive; we want to be able to ENJOY our golden years. We want to travel and garden and eat at fancy restaurants. We want to be able to buy our grandchildren the things we never would have purchased for their parents when they were growing up. We want to go to sleep each night knowing the bills have been paid and there is excess food in our cupboards. And because the best way to ensure a bright future is to start now, and also because the easiest way to do so is by investing in real estate, it’s now time to learn how to be...

Change is a natural part of life, and even if it doesn’t make us feel very comfortable at times, it is important to our growth to accept and adapt and even grow to love the things that are changing in our lives. Babies are born, our grown children move away, starter jobs are begun and then ended as bigger and better opportunities come along, and sometimes as we grow to accept our empty nest ways, the baby bird returns back to the nest. Change is all around us, and our homes reflect the need for change the most. Whether your house has suddenly become too small, too expensive, or even too big, your property values can help determine when it’s time to change your lifestyle and purchase a new...

Moving to a new place can be a hard adjustment. You love your new home, neighborhood, and the neighbors you are slowly coming to know, but you miss the comfort and convenience of knowing how to accomplish standard everyday activities quickly and easy. Finding new doctors (especially if you’re new to the state), discovering which grocery store offers the best deals and the freshest produce, even having to learn where to get the best Branson pizza in town can be stressful! Pizza is a very important meal in a family’s life, and when done wrong, can put a pall on the best days. Luckily, Sunset Realty Services is here to ensure that all your days are good ones—at least as far as pizza goes!

When we were younger, investing in our future was not something we considered. We all knew we were going to live forever, and of course, our career choice was going to ensure that we could live in style and comfort in our golden years, so why worry? As we age, however, we soon learn that life doesn’t hand us a golden retirement; we have to earn it with a lot of hard work, sweat, and upon occasion, tears! Not all investments pan out, and it can sometimes be difficult to spot the diamond in the rough. Fortunately, investing in a Branson commercial property is one of the safer investment strategies you can make, and here is a list of three reasons why that is so!

Anyone who has ever spent any time living in an apartment or condo truly understands the benefits of home soundproofing. Months or years spent hearing the everyday details of every argument, accident, and the occasional intimate moment are constant reminders of its importance. Interestingly enough, we don’t tend to think of soundproofing our homes, even though the same issues can arise—especially in the newer homes that are built so close together you can shake your neighbor’s hand while using your own bathroom. More houses per square foot equals more income potential for builders and less opportunity for privacy and quiet for the homeowners!

Although we spend a lot of time and attention on the interior of our homes and even in the backyards, we tend to ignore the most viewed area of our little kingdoms: the front yard. This is the only space that everyone sees—from strangers rolling down the street to our neighbors that surround us to the many service people who bring our mail or drop off packages—and if its unappealing to them, can you imagine what potential buyers may think? Spring is the season when our thoughts lightly turn to moving, and if your house is going to be one of the hundreds of homes in Branson MO that will be offered for sale, these tips on how to add curb appeal could be the difference between a top dollar o...

Sometimes we tend to stay in situations that are less than perfect because that it is the easy thing to do. The fear of moving into a worse situation can be far stronger than the need to make a change. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with the house you live in, the job you are working at, or even the schools your kids are attending; they are just bland and boring. 
 
Well, we think it’s time to shake things up a bit, to step out of your comfort zone and get out there and try something new. We think it’s time to stop dreaming about it and make the big move to Branson, Missouri! You know we’re right, but in case you need some extra convincing, we have compiled this list of the top reasons for ...
