Outdoor living spaces are an "essential design trend" for homes nationwide, and continue to be on many home buyer and renters’ must-have lists. Adding a front porch to your home has become increasingly important, whether you are remodeling or selling your home.

The front porch was described as a “transitional space between the private world of the family and the public realm of the street,” by Andrew Jackson Downing, a well known 19th century landscaper.

Right or wrong, in our digitally driven world, communication has changed. Nowadays, it seems that more people use their phone to text than to make calls. And it makes sense, it’s a medium that allows us to read, ponder and reply on our own time—unlike a phone call where the person on the other end of the line is waiting for an immediate response.

Text messages are also read more quickly than emails—90 seconds versus two hours. So, if you want to grab someone’s attention right away, texting seems to be the way to go. So how does texting fit into the new home sales process? The answer is: carefully.
