SELLER TIP

Buyers want the most house their money can buy. A large house with a choppy floor plan and small rooms can feel less spacious than a smaller home with an open floor plan. A clean, well maintained and spacious home is not only more marketable, but can often command a higher price. Here are some things to do to create visually more space.

• Position mirrors in the right places to make a room appear larger. Make sure the mirrors reflect what you want to see more of, such as a favorite painting or a lovely window.
• Choose a light color scheme to help open up a room. White, cream, pearl grey, or soft yellow seem more inviting and open because they reflect light.
• Clear out the clutter. Keep decorative objects to a minimum. Porcelain figurines are a distraction and be easily broken. Pick up newspapers and magazines. Put away or pack up unnecessary items from the counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms. Clutter can make rooms seem smaller than they are.
• Minimize the amount of furniture you have in each room. Sell it or store it away.

Part of my expertise is helping sellers get their home ready to put on the market. When you call me to give you a comparative market analysis I am happy to make some suggestions for staging your home to get the fastest sale and the most money possible. Call me TODAY to get your house value and learn what I do differently! Sherry Hayward (434) 515-1592  Shaywardkwgmail .com

Is Real Estate Investing Right for You?

Investing in property is simply another form of investment. Buyers can invest directly by purchasing property individually, or indirectly by investing in a managed fund or timeshare. Although real estate agents may understand the property market, prospective buyers should still seek independent advice, because property investment may not be right for everyone.

What to Know Before You Buy

Don't fall for pressure-selling techniques and high-pressure seminars

Some sales people can be extremely persuasive and persistent. They often use gimmicks like offering you a "once in a lifetime opportunity".

Determine your overall financial plans

Think about what you want to achieve financially and how soon you want to achieve it.

Understand the risks involved

All investments carry risks. Make sure you are comfortable with the risks associated with a particular investment.

Get advice

Decide whether or not you need professional advice. If you're dealing with a financial advisor make sure they're licensed.

Investing directly or indirectly

You can invest directly or indirectly in many assets, including real estate, through a managed fund. Time- shares are a type of managed investment.

Do your homework

Find out as much as possible about any investment you are making. Make sure you really understand the pros and cons of choosing a particular investment asset. Weigh the advantages and disadvan- tages against your financial goals.

Consult with your accountant

There may be tax issues to consider that you may not be aware of. Once you've decided to take the leap and purchase investment property, be sure to read and keep all documents you receive about your investment. If your asset is being managed by someone else, make sure they keep you updated on all pertinent information. Reputable investment managers will be happy to answer your questions and will expect you to take an interest in your investments.

6 Investment Tips You Can Use!

1. Hire and pay for skilled workers to do your renovations.
2. Location. Location. Location. Invest in the best location you can afford.
3. Be affordable for tenants by buying small and staying small.
4. Look at a property for what it can be, not for what it is.
5. Focus on the money coming in and going out - not the cap rate.
6. Don't go unique - choose rental properties that will appeal to anyone.

7. One More Thing...

   Real Estate Investment Trusts
   
   Real estate investment trusts, known as REITs, are entities that invest in different kinds of real estate or real estate related assets, including shopping centers, office buildings, hotels, and mortgages secured by real estate.
   
   There are basically three types of REITS:
   
   Equity REITS, the most common type of REIT, invest in or own real estate and make money for investors from the rents they collect.
   
   Mortgage REITS lend money to owners and developers or invest in financial instruments secured by mortgages on real estate.
   
   Hybrid REITS are a combination of equity and mortgage REITS.
   
   The Internal Revenue Code lists the conditions a company must meet to qualify as a REIT. For example, the company must pay 90% of its taxable income to shareholders every year. It must also invest at least 75% of its total assets in real estate and generate 75% or more of its gross income from investments in or mortgages on real property.
   
   Many REITs trade on national exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. REITs that are publicly traded must file reports with the SEC, such as quarterly and annual filings.

8. The Trivia Block

   What term refers to the unauthorized intrusion of a building or improvement onto another persons property?
   
   Such an intrusion is called an encroachment, and it often requires a surveyor's report of the property to support the claim.

Save Money Selling Your Home W/O Using An Agent

Save Money by Selling Your House without an Agent

Most real estate listing agents will have a set listing fee even though fees are negotiable. Half of the fee typically goes to the buyer’s agent that brings the buyer. From the remaining half the listing agent pays 1/3 to 1/ 2 to their broker, 1/3 to marketing your property and they retain the remaining portion for themselves.
Sometimes you will find a discounted fee from a listing agent who is either new to the business or feels discounting services won’t impact the sale of your property. They will probably still add it to the MLS. The MLS, short for Multiple Listing Service, is an important tool used by real estate agents to market your home and gain visibility among other industry professionals

Since statistically 90% of buyers are using a buyer’s agent – it is smart to factor in a commission to the agent that brings the buyer even though you are selling on your own. If you had a unique painting – would you get a better price at your garage sale or promoting it online to a larger audience like eBay, or giving it to a professional gallery to sell? The fact is, you do not want to alienate your most likely opportunities for a sale… the buyer’s agent. At the very least, be prepared to pay a buyer’s agent that has a ready, willing, and qualified buyer for your home.

How to Create a Smooth Move for Your Family

Moving to a new community may be one of the most stress-producing experiences a family faces. Frequent moves or even a single move can be especially hard on children and adolescents. Studies show children who move frequently are more likely to have problems at school. Moves are even more difficult if accompanied by other significant changes in the child's life, such as a death, divorce, loss of family income or a need to change schools.

Moves interrupt friendships. To a new child at school, it may at first seem that everyone else has a best friend or is securely involved with a group of peers. The child must get used to a different schedule and curriculum, and may be ahead in certain subjects and behind in others. This situation may make the child stressed, anxious or bored.

Children in kindergarten or first grade may be particularly vulnerable to a family move because developmentally they are just in the process of separating from their parents and adjusting to new authority figures and social relationships. The relocation can interfere with that normal process of separation by causing them to return to a more dependent relationship with their parents.

In general, the older the child, the more difficulty he or she will have with the move because of the increasing importance of the peer group. Pre-teens and teenagers may repeatedly protest the move, or ask to stay in their hometown with a friend's family. Some youngsters may not talk about their distress, so parents should be aware of the warning signs of depression, including changes in appetite, social withdrawal, a drop in grades, irritability, sleep disturbances or other dramatic changes in behavior or mood.

Children who seem depressed by a move may be reacting more to the stress they are experiencing than to the relocation.

If the child shows persistent signs of depression or distress, parents can ask their family doctor to refer them to a child and adolescent psychiatrist or therapist. The psychiatrist or therapist can evaluate and treat the child's emotional problems which may be associated with stress and also help parents make the transition easier for the whole family.

While preparing for possible difficulties, remember that many good things can come from a move. The family may grow closer; parents may learn more about their children from going through the experience with them; and children may enjoy a new sense of independence and accomplishment. With the proper attention from parents, and professional help if necessary, moving can be a positive growth experience for children, leading to increased self-confidence and interpersonal skills.

Making the Move Easier:

• Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
• Familiarize the children with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.
• Describe advantages of the new location that the child might appreciate such as having their own room, a new playground, a nearby beach or an amusement park.
• After the move, get involved with the children in activities at your church or synagogue, school, scouts, YMCA, etc.
• If a son or daughter is a senior in high school, consider the possibility of letting him or her stay with a trusted family until the school year is over.
• Let children participate in designing or furnishing their room.
• Help children keep in touch with friends from the previous neighborhood through telephone, letters, e-mail and personal visits.

Information for this article was provided by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Reduce Your Gas Bill

• The simplest way to lower your natural gas bill is to use less gas. Here are some tips on how to reduce your heating costs: Turn down your thermostat 5 to 10 degrees while you are away or asleep. (Every degree above 68 adds about 3% to your heating bill.)
• Turn down your water heater temperature to 120 or 125.
• Place window film on the interior of leaky or drafty windows.
• Have your furnace and water heater professionally cleaned and inspected.
• Change furnace filters monthly.
• Replace your old furnace with a new, efficient model.
• Caulk and weather-strip around doors and windows.
• Vacuum heat registers and return air vents regularly.
• Make sure furniture and draperies do not block heat flow.
• Keep curtains open when the sun is shining.
• Add more attic insulation.
• Call your utility about having a home energy audit.
