7 Things to do to Your Home Before Winter

Winter is just around the corner and homeowners should take a few minutes to go through the following list:

1.Check doors, windows and trim. Replace broken glass or damaged screens. 

2. Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent water from backing up and damaging your house.

3. Check roof for damaged or loose shingles. Repair damage to metal flashing, gutters and downspouts that can cause leaks in the roof.

4. Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

5. Check weather stripping on doors and windows.

6. Remove window air conditioners.

7. Drain outside water lines and hoses so water doesn't freeze.

5 Reasons to Hire a Realtor

1. Real Estate Education & Experience- Henry Ford once said that when you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves you are smarter than they are.
2. Agents are Buffers -If you're a seller, your agent will filter all those phone calls that lead to nowhere. They will also eliminate people that just want to look at your home. They want to induce serious buyers to immediately write an offer.
3. Neighborhood Knowledge- Agents either possess intimate knowledge or they know where to find the information about your neighborhood. They can identify comparable sales to help you decide the best price to list your home at.
4. Negotiation Skills & Confidentiality-Top producing agents negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they are skilled. It's part of their job description.
5. Develop Relationships for Future Business-The basis for an agent's success and continued career in real estate is referrals. This means that your agent wants to make sure you are happy and satisfied. It also means that an agent who stays in the business will be there for you when you need to hire an agent again.

If you are interested in selling or buying a new home or just want to know what your house is worth - call me.
