2019 Spring Cleaning-Part 2

Welcome Back, let us finish out cleaning the house properly for spring:

Header:
14) Move It Move It...The Furniture!
This a good time to take your time and clean not only around, but the furniture itself.

15) Curtains
Simple washing and drying will leave your curtains smelling and feeling fresh.

16) Bookshelves
A great time to dust off the shelves and to remind yourself why you make that in your schedule to read!

17) Kid's Toys
Being used on a daily basis can make anything dirty. Got plastic toys? Run them through the dishwasher.

18) Pillows & Comforters
Only needing to be cleaned a handful of times a year, this is one of those times.

19) Mattress
While your sheets are being washed, and your bed is exposed, why not clean your mattress a bit too?

20) Closet
With the changing of the seasons comes the changing of the wardrobe. This is a great opportunity to go through your clothes and get rid of any unneeded clothes and donate them.

21) Washer
Before you donate those clothes you would wash them, and even the washer could use a cleansing rinse!

22) Dryer
While you are cleaning your washer, you don't want to make your dryer jealous.

23) Heavily Used Electronics
It is no surprise that the items we touch most, would be the dirtiest. A cleansing wipe will take care of that.

24) The Lady's Purse
This is something that can be very unorganized, and there is no better time to organize one of the most used bags.

25) Vacuums and Brooms
Even the cleaners need to be cleaned. After you have fully cleaned the house, cleaning out tools such as your vacuum and brooms is a great idea.

26) Patio Furniture
Outside needs some love too, not just the inside.

This is also a great time to see that you may have more stuff than you want or need, and would make a great start to a garage sale! You never know what your neighbor would do when you have yours! If you have any questions, or want some assistance-contact me!

Your First Home: Step 8-Protect Your Investment

Welcome to the world of home ownership, besides feeling like you signed your life away-how does it feel? You may find yourself feeling pride of ownership, because you now in fact own something. But with great power comes great responsibility-home maintenance. One of the best resources for you, even after the transaction, is going to be your real estate agent. Chances are, if you need a specific kind of vendor-they have one they trust and can refer you to. Home maintenance falls into two categories: Keep it clean and keep an eye on it. Review the maintenance needs for your home once you are settled in plan for regular service. If you notice something different, investigate it and fix it. A small problem not treated turns into a massively more expensive problem when ignored. Be sure to also read your home warranty, some of the repairs that come up may be covered. Also, have reserves set up for “Life Happens” situations. Finally, the most important part, Housewarming Party! Nothing w...

Your First Home: Step 7-Close

We got through the home inspection, that was intense. What’s next? Why, title and appraisal of course! We are in the home stretch; you can do this. As the lender is finalizing the mortgage, they are doing a little bit more digging: appraisal to confirm the value, survey to confirm the boundaries, title to verify ownership, and title insurance. Appraisers will look at the home and comps to determine what they think the home is worth and relay this to you and the lender. The lender will only write a loan for the home’s appraised value, so if there is a difference between selling price and appraisal price-buyer and seller have to come together to cover the gap. Therefore, it is important to create a win-win situation, both parties have to work together at times. Survey is to determine where the homes boundaries are and are not. You would be surprised how many times a neighbor’s fence may be on your property due to boundaries of each property being forgotten over time and various homeo...

Is Real Estate a Trade or a Profession?

On Friday, there was an article on  Inman news  (behind a paywall) asking, "Is Real Estate a Trade or a Profession?", specifically it was compared with journalism, below is a segment:  After all, he reminded us, one does not need a degree to be a journalist. There are laws regulating libel and individual privacy, and journalists are expected to comply with those, but there is no professional standards organization, no state or federal licensing, no real job requirements at all except, presumably, the ability to tell a story and convince an editor (and your readers) that you’re good at it. This has become increasingly apparent in the digital age, when editors are no longer gatekeepers dictating who has a platform to tell a story. The emergence of the Internet and blogging has given anybody who chooses to say something a way and means by which to say it. He pressed us all semester: What was the difference between an amateur blogger and a professional journalist? Could we ...
