Things your Realtor wish you'd do!!

Thinking of selling?

Here are a few tips from years of experience buying and selling Real Estate. (I am NOT a realtor)

You have heard it time and time again that your house is your biggest purchase and asset.

BUT, once you are ready to sell it......


Why not give it its BEST chance of getting the BEST price?


DO NOT BE LAZY
when it comes to the following

Step 1: DECLUTTER, Have the old Keep, Sell, Toss, Garage Sale, Donate boxes
(YES CLOSETS COUNT)

Step 2: DEPERSONALIZE, get RID (YES GET RID) of all your family pictures on the walls, get rid of the toys (with exception of a few key ones)

Step 3: PAINT the walls a NEUTRAL color - get rid of ALL the bright tones through out the house, NEUTRAL is best for potential buyers to see THEIR ideas, NOT YOURS - REMEMBER YOU are moving

Step 4: CLEAN every nook and cranny!! Baseboards, Closets, Shine the Stainless Steel appliances AND the kitchen sink....to name a few

Step 5: STAGE your house - make your house LOOK like it came out of a magazine. Get RID of old worn out furniture. DO NOT forget about the outside of the house, especially the Entrance! You can do the staging part on a budget yourself, or hire a Professional stager who can customize a month to month rental agreement with you for the spaces you need staged.




I had several family photos on the back wall, I removed them and relocated a mirror from another part of the house. I also closed up the table making it smaller and making the space feel larger.





 
I bought 2 exact same lamps and a small floral piece to add to the space. Keeping the table free of clutter and lamps on will portray cleanliness and comfort. I will wash the floors and base boards as well as clean the windows.

I know we are all busy and can't exactly channel Martha Stewart, however you CAN do the above 5 steps, elbow grease and some TLC towards you house will make a HUGE difference you realize on the sale of it.

Give it its BEST chance.
You can google before and after pictures of staged rooms for inspiration!!

Good luck!!

Fitness Can Be Fun




Hello friends,

Working out and being healthy can feel like a full time job. Make it super easy and FUN, come workout with a Warrior Family at https://www.relentlessfit365.com/.

About a year ago I found Jake and this community on YouTube and have ramped up my fitness routine ever since.

Jakes energy and enthusiasm towards his followers is infectious to say the least. Through the community Facebook page we all get to know one another and keep each other motivated and accountable. Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/282641222232550/

Recently I was asked if I'd like to contribute a routine in their Warrior Spotlight that airs Sundays on YouTube and I accepted willingly as I felt it would be warmly received, and it has. Here is my routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLQ8utBTwd0&lc=z23gglnqkkzxdxpz504t1aokgqbx2tnffnvdc0adk03hbk0h00410.1511720164070445

I am by no means a fitness instructor - BUT I am a HOME fitness Enthusiast who has been working out for over 14 years. Kickboxing and Strength workouts are by far my MOST favorite, here is one of Jakes YouTube videos that I enjoy revisiting time and time again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEwkHswZ-Ks&t=954s
