Start Strong on Your Gardening Journey to Reap the Promised Rewards

 

What’s not to love about gardening? It’s a great way to create something truly beautiful while also enjoying some really cool health benefits in the process. Not only that, but it can also consistently support your and your family’s health for the long term, while potentially contributing to the good of the environment to boot!

                      

But of course, like most things worth doing, gardening also requires due diligence and hard work. Here, Resident Realty shares some great resources to get you started on your green journey.

 

Learn the Ins and Outs of Gardening

 

To be able to start a truly beautiful and productive garden, you need to have sufficient knowledge of the many nuances of gardening and landscaping, as well as the methods that support it.

 

●     Before breaking ground, take the time to learn all about the essentials of gardening.

●     It’s also a good idea to get home gardening tips from those with experience on things like composting and herb gardening.

●     You’ll need to get to know how to work with soil and mulch, as well.

 

Make Sure That It Truly Benefits You

 

With the hard work and dedication that goes into growing a verdant garden, you want to be sure that you and your family reap tangible benefits from it too.

 

●     It’s been said that when you plant a garden, you harvest the benefits.

●     Look into growing the healthiest food ingredients to make your home garden healthy.

●     Aside from the health benefits, making gardening a family affair can help you bond.

 

Find a Welcoming Space to Plant

 

A garden needs the right space to flourish, and this includes a proper amount of daily sun and easy access to water.

 

●     Look for a spot in your yard that can easily accommodate a garden. You want a spot that gets plenty of sunlight throughout the day.

●     If a dead tree is hovering over a potentially great space, look for a tree removal service that can cut down your tree, making way for extra sunlight.

 

See How It Can Contribute to the Greater Good

 

The benefits that a healthy and flourishing garden offers your family are plentiful, but you also want to look beyond what it brings to your table and, instead, to the world at large.

 

●     If you want to make your lush green garden a truly green one, know that there are some environmentally-sound methods that you need to adapt.

●     Creating healthy soil not only guarantees that your garden is a productive one but one that’s also eco-friendly.

●     Looking for ways to save water in your garden is also necessary to be truly sustainable.

 

Ultimately, the success and productivity of your gardening project will rely on the knowledge you amass as you go along and your dedication to making it realize its full potential. The rewards of your garden are there for the taking — you just need to work hard to earn them.

How to Prep for Listing Your Family Home

How to Prep for Listing Your Family Home

 

Are you getting ready to sell your home but staring with despair at your linen closets, multiple junk drawers (we all have them), and overstuffed closets? You’re not alone. Preparing a house to sell is one of the most stressful parts of moving. At least when you’re house hunting, you have the sense of excitement that comes from finding the perfect home that offers the quality of life that you want.

 

Before you start pulling your hair out or just throwing everything in boxes without rhyme or reason, read this guide from real estate pro Paul Ross that will help you have a less stressful home sale preparation.

Decluttering: A Must Do

 

When you’re moving out of one home and into another, it signifies a new phase in your life. That means you should get rid of the things from your “previous” life that you don’t want to bring into your new one.

 

If you have clothes that no longer fit or that you haven’t worn in years, there are plenty of people out there who could use the clothes you’re not wearing. And the same thing goes for hobbies you don’t participate in anymore or old paintings by your kids. Can’t bring yourself to throw out all the artwork? Go to an office supply store or an art store and buy an artist-sized expandable portfolio. They look like the ones you’d use for school, but bigger.

 

Buy one for each child (or grandchild). Only keep what you can fit in those portfolio folders. Now their precious works of art will be organized, and as a bonus, the plastic dividers keep them protected!

 

If you still need help cutting down on stuff, find a professional organizer in your area. You can hire them for a consultation, or just for an hour or two, and create a strategy you can then use on your own. These pros do charge $50 - $90 per hour, so make sure you can afford their services.

Play Neighborhood Detective

 

Find another house for sale in your neighborhood or general area. Find out when they’re holding their open house, and then make a plan to attend. That way you can head over and check out how the owners have staged and depersonalized their home to make it more attractive to buyers. This open house snooping, if you will, gives you ideas and inspiration for staging and depersonalizing your own home.

 

If you don’t have time to go in person or the houses you visited were empty, you can always do a bit of online reconnaissance with other homes in your area. Online listing sites will show you what those houses are going for in your area and give you an idea what you can list your home for when you’re ready. Their photos can also give you inspiration on how to stage your home and how to depersonalize it.

Staging and Depersonalizing: Your Turn!

 

Now that you’ve explored and have inspiration from surrounding homes, it’s your turn to get your house show-ready. The first thing you should do is take down all the art and photos from the walls. Does this make things a little drab? Sure, but buyers need to be able to imagine their items in your home when they visit. If you have built-in storage, pack that up next. Put the boxes in the garage or somewhere else out of sight.

 

Once your walls are bare, you can assess the shape of them. Is the paint discolored, or do you have decades’ old wallpaper that’s practically melted into the sheet rock? Rather than break out the paint cans and rollers, opt for wallpaper with water-activated adhesive. You can apply it quickly to cover damage and make your spaces look brand new, and it can be removed in case it’s not what a home shopper envisions once they make your home their own.

 

Finally, consider having a stager come into your home and place accessories or even new pieces of furniture in the right locations. If possible, have them take pictures on the same day as or right before you host your open house. That way you won’t have to pay for the staging service twice!

 

In the majority of cases, whatever you spend on market prep helps you get a higher offer price and helps your home sell faster. Those are two things everyone wants!

Considering the Vacation Rental Market

 

Investment Tips for People Considering the Vacation Rental Market

The introduction and success of Airbnb and similar sites have made private vacation homes a fixture in the travel and hospitality industries. Many are taking advantage of the vacation rental market by purchasing homes in prime locations and offering their guests unforgettable experiences. If you are ready to take the plunge and enter into the vacation real estate market, then look no further. Below you will find some tips to help ensure you invest wisely.

 

Purchasing Property

 

The first step is research. As a first time investor, you’ll want to aim for a vacation home that is not only in a prime location but is sure to bring you enough revenue over expenses. While city centers may seem appealing, there’s also more competition in those areas, which means you have to keep rates low and you have high costs.

 

Seek the guidance of a knowledgeable Real Estate Professional who can help you pinpoint the right market, with high occupancy rates, moderate housing costs, and median mortgage rates that won’t leave you with a negative return on your investment. Before buying a vacation home, however, it’s important to know its true value. Consider the history of the home, the area (is it growing, declining or leveled out?), and use an online home value estimator to help you determine whether the home you’re buying is a true investment.

 

Costs

 

Along with costs associated with purchasing a vacation home, here are some additional costs you will need to plan for ahead of time:

 

●     Property taxes

●     Capital gain taxes/Income taxes (federal)

●     Homeowner’s insurance (which may include an umbrella policy and flood insurance)

●     Attorneys’ fees

●     Moving expenses

●     New furniture and appliances

●     Smart tech (keyless locks, wireless thermostats, high-speed Wi-Fi, security cameras, smoke detectors, etc.)

●     Property management

●     Cleaning services/supplies

●     Landscaping

●     Mortgage payments

 

Your rental rates should not only correlate to the value of the property and location, but they should also cover your costs as well.

 

Managing the Property

 

From the outset, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with all the time and costs that come along with managing your vacation rental. To save the 10 percent to 30 percent fee management companies charge, it’s possible to manage the home yourself. You can either choose to do all the work (including housekeeping, repairing, and marketing) or hire professionals to take on certain aspects of the management you don’t have the time or expertise for.

 

If you can afford to turn a certain percentage of your profits to a reputable management company that specializes in vacation rentals in your area, then the return may supersede the cost. The management company could weigh in on the best marketing for your home/location, as well as ensure that the property is secured and maintained, that all your guests have the right amenities and supplies, and that rental pricing is not too low or too high.

 

Forming an LLC

 

Most real estate investment companies decide that in order to protect their personal assets it’s best to establish themselves as a limited liability company. In order to create an LLC, you’ll need to either go through a tedious process of paperwork filing or hire an attorney or online formation service to get things started.

 

The Backup Plan

 

The short-term vacation rental market is still uncharted territory; laws and regulations are currently being formed around the industry. The real estate and travel industries fluctuate, and with the uncertainty in the short-term rental market, you should have a back-up plan for the property. Choose a rental home in slow seasons that you can use as a vacation home yourself (bonus: there are tax benefits to this as well). Be sure to choose a location that ensures you’ll break even or make a profit if you need to sell. Finally, a short-term rental that you can easily make into a long-term rental, if you desire, is optimal.

 

Real estate is a smart investment. Investing in real estate as a short-term vacation rental will not only safeguard your money, but it also has the added benefit of bringing in income. Do your research and use all available resources to choose a great property in an optimal location. Determine all the costs associated with renting a vacation home, and with that knowledge, determine how much income you’ll need to cover the cost — including property management. If you’re looking for a great way to enter into real estate investment that can provide you with many low-risk opportunities, vacation rentals could be the next step for you.

Nature-Themed Bathroom Makeovers

5 Nature-Themed Bathroom 

Makeovers to Attract Buyers

The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house during the home buying process. Prospective buyers want to be able to picture themselves using the space and enjoying the elements that have been included. Many times, home buyers will purchase the most expensive home they can afford, leaving little budget for remodels. Therefore, giving your bathroom a makeover, whether it is a partial or just a cosmetic remodel, can make your home that much more desirable without spending a fortune. Integrating nature in interior design is one of the hottest trends of 2019. Here are five nature-themed bathroom makeovers that will make your home more attractive to buyers.

1. Install a Natural Stone Vanity

One way to pull nature into your space is to integrate natural stone. One way to make a statement is to do this with your vanity. A granite vanity is one of the top 10 most wanted bathroom features, so replace your laminate countertop with a natural stone slab that is marble, granite, or quartz. This will help give your bathroom that timeless look while also integrating natural elements into the space. While this specific makeover option may be a bit more expensive, the return can be substantial. Granite can run $75-$400 per sq.ft. However, you can still get a natural look by using a remnant slab, costing $20-$40 per sq.ft., depending upon the size of vanity you are installing. 

2. Introduce Wood Elements

Wood is another important element to integrate into your bathroom. It is one of those elements that adds warmth to the space as well as a touch of sophistication. There are a number of ways to makeover your bathroom to incorporate wood. You could simply opt for staging with wooden accessories such as baskets. If you are ready to make a bigger commitment, you can replace your under sink cabinets with naturally stained one or even re-tile your bathroom (floor or shower) with faux wood laminate flooring choosing between $0.69-$2.50 per sq ft.

3. Give Your Bathroom A Fresh Coat of Paint

Sometimes the easiest makeover can make a world of difference, especially in a relatively small space like your bathroom. Painting your bathroom may just be one of the easiest options to appeal to buyers choosing between $100-$300 for a 5'x 8' bathroom. Choosing the paint color for your bathroom can be tricky before selling your home as you want something that won't stand out but still adds to the sense of style in the space. Therefore, let nature inspire your color scheme. Pick a natural, calming color scheme for your bathroom makeover. For a beach vibe, consider a color scheme of teal, whites, emerald, and gray. On the other hand, if you want a more woodsy feel, consider going with natural pine woods complemented with dark greens, whites, and brown. For a more high-end remodel, consider using these color schemes with subway tiles or honeycomb tiles.

4. Add Some Greenery

Having plants in your space can bring a sense of calm. Additionally, it can add a pop of color amongst natural tones and whites. The good part is, that this is a relatively inexpensive way to bring nature into your bathroom with real plants costing between $10 and $70. While you can use real plants such as bamboo, orchids, or snake plants, artificial plants can work just as well at achieving the natural look. You can take this to the next level by incorporating different scents of nature into the space via essential oil diffusers or candles. However, make sure any smells are kept light and to a minimum when showing your home to prevent homebuyers from thinking you are trying to cover up an odor.

5. Install a Rain Shower Head

Another way to bring nature into your bathroom makeover is to have a proper rain showerhead installed. Rain showerheads are trending due to the luxurious field they give to any bathroom where they are installed. Depending on the quality and type of showerhead you select, rain showerheads come in a wide range of prices from $60 to $500. While you could install a rain showerhead yourself, getting the assistance of a professional can ensure that you have the necessary pressure.

You Want to Add Value

Ideally, you want to transform your bathroom into a space where people can already picture themselves getting ready in the morning and relaxing after a long day at work. Giving them a bathroom that doesn't require a remodel can be a serious selling point for your home. Many of these nature-themed bathroom makeover tips are relatively easy to implement and can give your home that wow factor against the competition; or, you can always undertake a serious remodel and add a new master bath. In the end, you want to get a return on your investment, so carefully consider which things will contribute to a higher sales price for your home versus what is simply an unnecessary element. 

As a current resident in Northern Colorado, I am fully aware of the current market trends and what it takes to get a great deal on a listing or get top dollar for your current home. When it comes to getting the job done right, you can count on me.

Making Your New Home Safe

Making Your New Home Safe 

For Your Family

Make Your Home a Safe Haven for You And Your Family

So, you’ve found your dream house and moved in – it’s an exciting time! You can finally have everything just the way you want it...

We hate to rain on your happy buzz but even before you start setting up, you need to look at how safe your new house is. Whether you’ve moved into a brand-new house or to one that previously belonged to a family, you need to put some precautions in place. We’re sure you’ve taken a look at all the big stuff before buying it – the foundation, paperwork, structure, neighborhood, and mold. You’ve got your insurance and you’re ready to move!

But there are several other concerns that need your attention to keep you and your family safe.

Here are a few steps to get you started

Change the locks

This home is new to you, but the previous owners may have passed on spare keys to their neighbors, relatives or close friends. Even if it’s a brand new house, the builder may have handed a key to a handyman or worker during the construction stage. To be safe, get all the locks changed and distribute spares only to those you trust.

Install a security system

Even in safe neighborhoods, a security system is a good precaution to take. You can decide whether you want a high-tech one with all the bells and whistles or if you’re happy with a few cameras and security lights. Depending on your lifestyle and your family, choose the features that you need.

Get to know your neighbors

Neighbors are invaluable allies. They can easily keep an eye on your place but if you’re new to the neighborhood, they probably won’t know the difference between a stranger at your door and a friend. Stop by for a chat and get to know them, introduce your family and keep the relationship cordial.

Case the joint

Think like an intruder and identify weak points in and around your home. You can then take appropriate measures to fortify these areas and prevent intruders from entering your home.

Give it a once over

Go around the entire house, checking to see that doors and windows open, close and lock as they should. Check for loose wires from electric outlets or loose floorboards and so on. Make a list of everything that needs to be fixed and either fix them yourself or have a handyman do it. But make sure they’re all taken care of as soon as possible, this goes a long way in preventing accidents.

Outdoor safety

If you have a garden or a backyard, give it a thorough once over to make sure nothing dangerous lurks in the bushes. Danger doesn’t necessarily have to be a creepy crawly or an animal. It could be sprinklers that haven’t been set in the lawn properly, a rusty gate or fence. Check the fence or wall around your property to make sure there are no weak points.

Landscaping

Many people like to have gravel below low windows as noise protection. If an intruder tries to get in that way, the crunching of the gravel will give it away and you’ll be able to hear them. A sensor-triggered alarm placed by the window may be louder.

Keeping the plant life in your garden trimmed ensures that there are no dark spots where intruders can hide. Trim branches that could otherwise give an intruder easy access to your home via a window.

Check smoke detectors

Don’t assume that the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms that the previous owners have left behind are in good working condition, check them. They may be very old and need a change of batteries. You can buy 10-year batteries to avoid this cropping up every 12 months.

Dryer vents

Check that the important appliances like the stove, gas pipes and dryer vents are all working smoothly. If any of the wiring looks old, replace it. Electrical fires because of worn-out wiring are common and happen without warning. Hot dryer exhaust needs to be let outside and the endpoint should be clear of dryer lint. Add this to your list of things to check routinely.

Install lights in all the right places

Intruders prefer to break in when it’s dark and they are less likely to be seen. So, even at night, have a well-lit porch and back door. You could also put in place lights that can be triggered by movement so you can catch any unwelcome visitors by surprise. Make sure your house number is clearly visible so that emergency services can find you easily. Put timers on the lights in some rooms to make it look like someone is home even if you’re running late. Intruders are less likely to try and enter a house when someone is home. This is also useful when you go on holiday.

Background checks

If you have just moved into a new house, it is likely that you need some work done. If you don’t already have a trusted service provider to rely on, go by recommendations from people you know well. If possible, you should also do a background check on the contractors you hire and ask for references.

Get your insurance sorted

Protect your investment with house insurance. Most policies will cover your old property until you exchange with the purchaser and the new one from when you exchange with the seller. But if there is any overlap in the dates, you should definitely check that both properties are covered during this time.

Every home is different and so you should look around yours carefully to ensure that you’ve taken care of everything. If you want a pair of fresh eyes, get a friend to look over the house with you, he or she may spot something you missed. Taking a few days to get these precautions right will help make sure that your new home is safe for your family.

Prepping Your Home for the Long Winter Months

‘Tis the Season: Prepping Your 

Home for the Long Winter Months

No matter what winter holidays you celebrate, getting ready for the holiday season isn’t easy to do. There are events and gatherings, shopping trips, and busy work schedules. It seems there is an endless list of things to do.

This is especially true for homeowners. Making sure your home is ready for the winter can be a tedious and stressful process, particularly if you live in places that have temperatures falling below zero. As we move into 2020, you may have already experienced some problems with your home. Drafty windows, broken furnaces, or faulty wiring (which causes lots of fires) are just a few problems homes can have in the wintertime.

So, what can you do to ensure you and your home are ready for a relaxing and cheerful winter? Let’s consider some things you can do to finish (and start) your year right.

Call the Furnace Doctor

First, get a tune-up for your furnace. It may seem unnecessary, but this can pay off in the long run. Not only will getting a tune-up reduce your energy bills and monitor for carbon monoxide, but this will also prevent you needing to call for help on the coldest day of the year. This one preventative measure can make all the difference.

Inspect Your Roof

You should also clear out any debris from your eaves and inspect your roof for damage. Discovering missing tiles before it snows or sealing any cracks will prevent against leaks. Clearing your eaves will allow for proper drainage. By inspecting both of these, you can prevent ice dams and any long-term damage that may be caused by icy conditions.

More Insulation

If you’re further concerned about your utility bills or have cold toes from poor insulation, you can seal your windows and reverse your ceiling fans. There are a variety of popular methods for insulating—you’ve probably seen plastic on a few windows during the colder months. You can find weatherproofing kits online or at your local hardware store. It is important to make sure your attic is well insulated too, to further prevent ice dams on your roof.

As for your ceiling fans, reversing ceiling fans creates an updraft, which forces rising heat downwards, making it warmer down below.

Prevent Sparks

Be sure to get your electrical wiring checked, especially if you have an old home. In 2015, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, heating and electrical problems were the leading identifiable causes of residential fires behind cooking fires. Be careful not to overload power strips and replace any frayed cords. Faulty wiring is the number one cause of electrical fires. Some cases can even lead to lawsuits.

“I can't stress enough how important it is to check your appliances and wiring in the winter,” says Rich Newsome, attorney, and co-founder of Newsome Melton Law.  "Often people forget, and don't notice when something of theirs gets recalled - or, worse, starts to get old and faulty. Not paying attention to your appliances can cause costly - and potentially deadly - fires in your home."

Overall, be sure to unplug any unnecessary appliances and check for frayed wires or overstuffed electrical strips—don’t blame it on the Christmas tree!

There is a lot that goes into maintaining a home but making sure you’re ready for the winter months can reduce stress, costs, and risk. A few preventative measures can make sure you have a safe and warm winter, and maybe make your holiday season a little bit brighter.
