Be the Buyer
That's right. We're going to get a little Zen today. The market is still pretty hot with buyers looking to get a move-on (literally). The inventory is building as well so there will be more homes to go around (and compete for those potential buyers). One of the tricks of the trade with real estate professionals is to think like a buyer. This is sometimes easier said than done. None of us know what some other random person is thinking or what it is they are looking for. But we can provide them with lots of information in order to make a good decision. The goal today is to think like a buyer (when you're selling your home) and help them walk a mile in your "shoes".
Your first stop should be with your local real estate professional. They are the ones who are on the phone all day with both buyers and sellers and will be the best po...

Inspecting the In-Law Apartment
If you've been reading along all these years, you've figured out that I'm on the precipice of my half-century mark. For the non math majors out there, that also means that my parents are approaching that age where they may need a bit of help from time to time. Whether it's to open that persnickety jar of pickles or simply being "there" when one of them recovers from surgery or an illness, pitching in as they enter their twilight is simply part of the deal.

Backyard Bliss
I feel very fortunate to have a home with more than enough space for my roommate and I. During this pandemic, we are both working from home, but can honestly go almost the full day without seeing or hearing each other. Throw in the garage and backyard and we each have our own little escapes. All that said, the one area where we both end up connecting is the back deck. We just added one of those tables with the propane fire pit in the middle and we have a pretty comfy couch. Last year we added an umbrella to make the morning sun a little more bearable, as well as a cafe table for two. It's wonderful to get "outside" without having to go out where all the scary people are!
Regardless of the size of your home, you are likely still itching to get outside. Today I'd like to talk about a few neat ideas you can utilize to make y...
