Spring Forward  

SPRING - FORWARD is the saying we learned so we would know which way to turn the clocks when the season changes.  It's also a good reminder of the things we want to accomplish this year.

 

Everyone is ready for Spring and warm, sunny days! Plants and animals come out of hibernation. So do buyers! Statistically, online property searches rise significantly in March and April.  

 

Have you been thinking about selling your home? Now is the time to SPRING FORWARD and take action. Mortgage rates and inventory are still low.

   

I can provide you with a free Real Estate Equity Analysis of your home that will provide the information you need to make a decision about selling. I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs. Call or email me today.

Annual Real Estate Investment Overview (AREIO)

Here's a question: when did you last review your real estate portfolio? Just like your stock portfolio or insurance policies, your real estate investment(s) should receive an annual review. This includes your personal residence too!

Markets change, properties age, interest rates move up and down - all these factors make it a good idea to sit down with me and review your real estate investments on an annual basis.

 

Life is busy. Everyday, so many things to do. Finding a few shortcuts is key to keeping on track-and keeping your sanity. Employ a few of these tricks to make your life easier (and better!)

1. Put it on the list

It stinks to be driving home from Lowe's only to remember the one thing you didn't pick up. Or be reminded of four other things you wanted your handyman to fix-after he's already left. Keep two running lists on your phone: one for the home improvement store and one for your fix-it person. That way you'll always have the lists accessible and can add to them as necessary.

2. Stock up on vinegar

It can be used to unclog a drain, take ink off a wall, freshen up your washing machine, clean your coffeemaker, get rid of bugs, and about 90 other things.

Conventional wisdom tells us that any home renovation is a positive thing: money in is money out. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Some remodeling projects are a better investment than others, and the projects that yield the best return on investment can change from year to year. According to Remodeling Magazine's 2015 Cost vs. Value Report, these five replacement projects will make the greatest percentage impact on the value of your home this year -- accounting for cost-to-value ratio, the key to making smart home improvements with resale in mind: 
Laminate flooring has the same great look as wood flooring and installation is easy with an array of styles and colors. For this project you will need laminate flooring, a jigsaw, a circular saw, miter saw, spacers, weights, a tapping block, dead blow hammer, pull bar, a tape measure, a pencil, a utility knife, a level, wood glue, silicone sealant and transitions/moldings.
