6 tips for creating, improving outdoor living spaces Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Summer temperaRAWLINGS tures are rising, which means you probably want to spend more time outside soaking up the sun and less time cooped up inside. With the arrival of seasonal holidays like the 4th of July and open-air picnics, BBQs and more, you may have noticed your outdoor living space needs updating. These six tips will assist you in creating and improving the functionality and aesthetics of your outdoor areas!

Add a Variety of Seating Options You can get creative with the seating options you include outside. For example, benches, chairs and even pint-size stools provide ample room for guests to relax and unwind as well as an opportunity to introduce various colors, textures and functionality to a space. If you have little ones, you can add smaller seating to accommodate them. Install top-rated grills and appliances If you’re one for grilling out and barbecuing, having top-of-the-line appliances is a necessity. You can add one or two staple pieces or compile an entire outdoor kitchen based on your needs. Examples of top-rated options include the Weber Genesis II E-335 Propane Grill, Big Green Egg, Ruvati 32-inch Sink, HomeLabs Beverage

Refrigerator and Cooler, Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven and much more! Implement outdoor mood lighting Adding mood lighting creates an ambiance perfect for summer nights! Depending on the style you are going for, you can boost your outdoor space’s visual appeal through deck stair lighting, torches, lanterns, string lights or solar lights. These are just a few of the versatile lighting options you can enjoy while eating meals, night swimming or playing yard games. Boost visual appeal Your outdoor living area might be rather spacious, which can be intimidating to style; however, there are a few simple pieces you can implement to easily amplify your design. For example, small accents such as textured, colorful pillows, sculptures, water features, wall decor and plant stands add an interesting dynamic. Also, brick or stone pathways create a sense of wonder as they lead you to a garden or secluded reading spot. Create Tool Storage Outdoor living spaces should be as

functional as they are visually appealing. Create convenient storage by installing shelves on a wall or railing, finding places to add hooks for tools and cleaning items and adding dual-functioning furniture such as a bench with storage beneath. Add adaptable patio furniture Patio furniture should be versatile to allow for easy transport. Choosing lightweight pieces enables you to easily move furniture to the shade if it is 90+ degrees midday or raining. Other adaptable furnishings such as benches or stools can provide extra seating for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. You will certainly enjoy summer days in your backyard by utilizing these tips and tricks. If you need assistance creating or improving your outdoor living spaces, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770-442-7300.

List your home and live stress-free We know how stressful the last few months have been for everyone, especially if you were planning on listing your home, or had just listed it, and are now wondering what to do. We’ve talked to several people who are nervous about having strangers walk through their house while it’s on the market, and EVOQ Town Flats of Johns Creek has a great solution that can help calm your nerves. At EVOQ Town Flats, we offer lease terms as short as 3 months so you can list your house, and move into a beautiful, new, never-occupied flat while your house is on the market. Not only do you not have to worry about people walking through your home while you live there, but you also don’t have to worry about keeping it “show-ready” while trying to live your life. Evoq Town Flats was conceived as a luxury rental option for the 55+ market unlike anything currently on the market. Our goal was to provide condominium-quality rentals with a boutique feel and resort-level amenities, including a self-serve Tap Room with beer & wine selections, saltwater pool, concierge services, two Guest Suites for friends and family, even Peloton bikes and On-Demand Fitness. In addition, knowing the level of luxury our residents are coming from, we put just as much detail into the flats, offering 23 unique floor plans which include spacious 5-piece master bath suites, stainless appliances including 5-burner gas ranges, 11’ ceilings, even a wine-refrigerator in select floor plans. Call us today at 770-869-2785 or visit us online at www.evoqliving.com to see why leasing at EVOQ Town Flats is your best option for stress-free living.

Covid-19 design changes to our homes Brought to you by – Remodeling Expo Center I think we all realize that we’re slowly exiting the Covid-19 crisis, and as we do, we can start looking back and taking inventory of what we experienced and what gota accomplished. As we reflect, we’re all wondering how things will be different in the post pandemic world. Will we remain physically distanced? Will large gatherings ever happen again? While some people choose to “nest”, the pandemic forced us all to do it… the entire family… for long periods of time. It brought families closer together and it also forced us all to really focus on our homes. People quickly became restless, and as evidenced by the increased traffic at big box home improvement stores, homeowners turned their attention to their homes; to repair and improve them. “We saw an immediate increase in requests for design time with our designers, and the rate of remodeling proposals slowly increased through the pandemic” says John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “Almost daily, we received calls from homeowners who previously didn’t move forward with the work, but now they wanted to move forward fast. Everyone was working from home and now they had the time to focus on that project that they’ve been thinking about for years.”

Natalie Vanhook 770.609.4842 natalie.vanhook@kw.com

With life constantly in flux, the one thing we should always be able to count on is the peace and comfort of our homes. Home is where we begin and end each day. That is why I feel it is extremely important to make sure that the house you buy will make you feel happy. Some people want a house facing a certain direction while others couldn’t care less. You have to focus on what’s right for you. Do you want calmness and seclusion, or sounds of activity and a vibrant night life? Do you prefer trees surrounding your property, or the presence of the beaming sun? What about neighbors; do you prefer the closeness of others, or do you need solitude for you and your family? Because each house is unique, it is important that you take time to feel a house before you buy it. You may have to go through many showings before you find the perfect match, but when you find it, you will know. A good Realtor

Live in a condo? You might want to check this! Brought to by – Dan Griffin Broker/Realtor with Keller Williams First Atlanta Insurance policies for fee simple homes are easy to understand. You buy a policy to cover liability and loss of the contents and structure. GRIFFIN You want to be able to replace your furnishings and re-build the home or repair damage as needed. It is also a good idea to have a list of your furnishings and upgrades with estimated costs if needed for a claim. But what if you live in a condominium? If you have a mortgage, you were probably were required to purchase an HO-6 policy from your insurance company. The mortgage company wants to make sure the policy is in place before approving a loan. There are actually two policies needed for condominiums. Master Policy The homeowner’s master policy

will work with you to find a house that meets you needs, but they can’t feel the house for you. I know it may seem silly to some, but you will save yourself time and money by making an effort to find the house that fits your personality. If you are looking to buy or sell, call me and we can talk.

covers a large majority of the actual structure. Essentially, the master policy insures the home’s building structure and common areas- liability and repair/ replacement. Condominium laws update in 2010 state that the master policy covers “standard” finishes, back to the unaltered or “un-updated” kind or quality. Any upgrades need to be insured by the individual owner. HO-6 Policy This is the individual homeowner’s policy and should cover the minimum amount of the deductible on the master policy, and upgrades and personal property. Mortgage companies may have specific requirements which should be considered before making any coverage reductions. Finally, the HO-6 policy should have “loss assessment” coverage no less than $2,000. This coverage comes into play when the association does not have the funds to cover its portion of the master policy. Some coverage is usually built into the policy, but it might make sense to look at the limits. Dan Griffin Broker/Realtor Keller Williams First Atlanta 770-843-2175 dangriffinadvisors@kw.com

Moving safely during the Coronavirus crisis NAPSI —If you and your family plan to move soon, you’ll be pleased to know that moving is considered an essential service. How professional movers go about that, however, varies from state to state and the manner and degree to which they’re enforcing social distancing and permitting businesses to operate if they’re considered essential. So, if you or someone you know needs to move, the experts at the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) recommend you regularly check such resources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stay up-to-date on the latest news. Smart Moves To keep consumers and movers healthy and safe during the pandemic, AMSA offers these 10 moving-time facts and tips: 1.For the health of your family and moving crew, always follow CDC guidelines. 2.Work directly with your movers to determine the best time and method for your move. 3.The moving company you choose should alert you if there are any disruptions in service as a result of federal or state action. 4.Help your movers serve you in the safest way possible. Notify them ahead of time if anyone in your household may have contracted coronavirus, or may have been exposed to someone who has. 5.Check your professional mover’s website and feel free to ask questions on how the company is mitigating health risks. 6.If you’ll feel more comfortable, ask if your professional mover can provide
