HOW TO...

Tune Up your Lawnmower before you need it. Now is the time to do it. Here's another tip to stop the grass from sticking to your mower deck...

In the spring, before you mow for the first time, spray some vegetable-oil cooking spray under the deck of your mower to prevent grass clippings from sticking. This simple step will save you a lot of work when cleaning your mower after each use. It also helps prevent rust.

First Impressions

If you are considering selling your home, one thing to keep in mind is that you have only one chance to make a good first impression--beginning the moment potential buyers drive up.

You can help create that good first impression by presenting potential buyers with a well-cared-for yard including a mowed lawn, clean driveways and walk paths (yes, shovel your snow!). Your front door and porch should be clean and neat, preferably freshly painted.

These first important encounters create a positive impression that carries through to the rest of your home. An inviting atmosphere implies that your house has been well maintained and taken care of. Homes that convey pride of ownership frequently receive the best offers.

If your home appears disheveled or uncared for, prospective buyers may quickly conclude it's been neglected and is in need of repairs. Such a negative impression can result in a less-than-generous offer--or possibly no offer at all.

Try viewing your home through a potential buyer's eyes. Would YOU buy your home?

Contact one of our agents today and we will go over some other tips to help your home sell faster and for top dollar.

DID YOU KNOW...

The best time to look at a home or building that you are interested in is when it is raining or wet? If you are sitting home and there is an open house and you don't feel like going because it is raining ... GO! You will be able to see and feel how the property "handles" wetness. Does it leak? Does the basement have seepage? All things that you may be able to tell right away if it's raining or wet.

Helpful Hints....

Painting the inside of your home may be easy enough to do yourself, but here are some tips from the professionals:

When choosing a roller for your paint job, take into consideration the type of paint that you will be using - oil base or water base.

If you are rolling with a water-based paint, you want to use a synthetic roller.

If you are rolling on an oil base, you'll want to use a natural roller, such as lamb's wool or natural fiber.

Be aware that rollers with loose fibers could ruin your paint finish.

If you can pluck the bristels out, then you know many of those bristles will end up on the wall.
