Getting Your Home Ready for the Market!

01 May 2008

If you're getting ready to have your current home on the market, here are a few tips to help you get started!

1. Lighten and Brighten
From fresh blinds and window treatments that allow natural light into the home to light neutral paint or carpeting, most homeowners can bring a light fresh "Welcome Home" feel into their homes - a feature much appreciated among potential buyers!

2. Clean, Store Extras & Stage
Home sellers can do a lot to help potential buyers visualize the space in their homes by keeping them clean and neat, storing extras and staging the home to help prospective new homeowners imagine themselves making your home their own!

3. Add Greenery
If you have a patio, deck, balcony or porch, give your outdoor living space some charm - freshen your flowers and greenery.

4. Inspect and Repair
A well maintained home in good repair is very important. Records of maintenance and related notations on your Seller's Property Disclosure about these will let prospective buyers know that the home has received attention and care!

Think energy efficiency and resource conservation!

Find your home close to town! Whether you're looking for a full time residence or crash pad for the work week or weekend, Atlanta has some of the most wonderful condominium, townhome and loft communities available.

Pricing is competitive, interest rates are low-low-low, and the timing is excellent for homebuyers - and you'll love limiting your commute to a walk to the office or a quick minutes drive alongside access to fabulous restaurants and eateries, shops and cultural activities.

In terms of transportation, think about...

*traveling via MARTA to the office or airport or into town on the weekends for fun and activites!

*telecommuting if your company offers this option - and if not, talking with your company's decision makers about developing one!

*carpooling with friends and colleagues!

*organizing your errands to make your trips as efficient as they can be for your fuel and time!

*always keeping your car properly maintained and your tires appropriately inflated - you'll save energy and should be safer too!

Home Sales: Getting Ready for the Marketplace+

05 April 2008

Getting ready to list your home for sale? There are a couple steps you can take to give yourself every advantage in the competitive resale market!

1. Organize, pack and store your extras! Include closets, cabinets, counters, floors and more. This will help potential buyers visualize the home space and imagine themselves in it!

2. Clean, clean, clean! The fresher your home feels, the less work a potential buyer will feel he or she has to do to move-right-in, making your place their own!

3. Lighten and brighten! A fresh coat of paint in decorator neutral colors for the walls as well as a fresh coat on trim and baseboards makes a home feel more cheerful and welcoming!

4. If you have outdoor space, give is a green living look! Whether it's a patio, balcony or deck, organize and decorate your outside living area to help a buyer imagine how they might enjoy it especially much in the spring, during summer evenings and even in the fall. Outdoor furniture and planters are a great place to start!

Home Care: Temperatures in the Hard Freeze Zone
02 January 2008

Atlanta's weather is so wonderful nearly all year long that we don't often think a lot about winterizing our homes - but temperatures have fallen into the hard freeze zone for at least the next few days.

It's important to remember to shut off the water to the outside, and you might even consider letting a faucet or two inside drip. When it comes to the risk of frozen pipes, a little prevention goes a long way!


Home Improvement: Personalize Your Space

Home Improvement!
02 January 2008

If you're planning to improve and update your home in 2008, here are a few to dream on!

* Incorporate Built-Ins
Some combination of open space and cabinetry will allow for personal displays and added storage.

* Update the Fireplace Surround
Stonework, marble or tile - and perhaps even a new mantle - an update that can improve the look and feel of the entire room. While you're at it, have a chimney sweep stop in to clean your flue and complete a safety check of the fireplace system.

* Expand Living Space to the Front Porch or Back Patio
A rocking chair, perhaps a tea service or grill area, an outdoor accent table adorned by seasonal blooms, a hanging plant, maybe even a bird feeder - all great ideas for ways in which to personalize your space, and make it more enjoyable for spring which will come sooner than any of us may realize!

Home Improvement:  Build the Big Picture

Home Improvement!
1 January 2008

Home maintenance is a must, but home improvement is fun!

As you begin any project, be sure to assess the big picture first...

How does your project work within the totality of the room you're dreaming about, and how does that room fit with the bigger picture of how you hope to design and develop your space?

Getting a sense of the broader goal will help you also develop the finer planning details - from contractor planning and the ordering of work events to the part we all enjoy so much more - shopping for the materials, colors and look you're hoping to achieve!

Knowing where you're headed will also help you through the "in progress" portion of the journey (aka "construction phase") - keeping your eyes on the goal and celebration ahead!
