Industry comment
What is a home appraisal? A PLAN OF YOUR PROPERTY
This will give the exact size of the land your home is constructed on. BUILDING PLANS
OJ - Martin Dodson
A home appraisal is an inspection of your property by a real estate agent to help determine a realistic selling price and to identify opportunities that will make the property as marketable as possible. The agent will make a comparative assessment of the property's value based on recent sales figures in your local neighbourhood. He or she will then arrange to go through the property, establish the key selling points and determine a value guideline for the property.
The building plans will give the agent important information about the construction of the home, the name of the builder and any renovations that may have been introduced. This will enable them to better estimate the replacement cost of the building if it was constructed today. LIST AND AGE OF FEATURES
Items such as "smart wiring", alarm systems, air conditioning or ducted vacuum systems are all features that may impact the selling price. ANY IMPROVEMENTS YOU MADE
These may not be immediately apparent to the agent especially things like garden improvements, irrigation, insulation etc. The information the agent has collected from the appraisal will then be used to develop a marketing campaign that will position the property in the marketplace.

Styling your home for sale By Amanda Wright
Just like you wouldn't choose the bruised banana from the bunch, potential buyers may be inclined to pay less for a property that doesn't look its best. When selling your property, you can be faced with a fiercely competitive market. Improving your home’s appeal by transforming it into an attractive and welcoming home has become common practice to stand out amongst an overcrowded marketplace. More people than ever are seeking out professional help to ensure that their homes are the ones that buyers are snapping up.
make, to transform a home from stale to SOLD! This method of decorating is designed to showcase your home’s best assets, to impress buyers and ultimately ensure that your selling price reaches its full potential. First impressions last and nothing could be truer when it comes to presenting your property for sale. Your home may be immaculate, beautifully decorated and stylishly suited to your taste, however it does not necessarily mean that it is presented correctly for sale. Styling to sell is very different from decorating a home. This is where the services of a selling stylist, or staging professional can be worth their weight in gold.
Styling your home for sale, otherwise known as staging, can help to maximise the sale price of your property.
The moment you commit to marketing your home for sale, your home should be transformed into a place where potential buyers can easily picture moving in.
It is imperative to stand out from the competition, and it’s surprising the difference that staging can

personally decorated your home to your liking. When you list your home for sale, it goes from being your home to being a product. A staging professional isn’t emotionally invested in your interior design, and can look at the potential of space and features, through fresh eyes. Professional stagers have an arsenal of furnishings at the ready and can quickly plan a neutral, professional design, in a fraction of the time it would take to plan it yourself. Stagers will try and work with what the homeowner already has, in order to reduce overall spending. This process usually involves making the space less personal, by rearranging existing furniture to maximize space and light, painting rooms in a neutral color palette, replacing carpets or floors if necessary, and bringing in new furniture and accessories to dress the space. Your property is usually just one in a very long list of properties a
buyer will see, so it’s crucial that they see it in the best possible light. Staging is more about creating the ahhh factor, whereas interior design is more about the wow factor. While staging is an optional consideration when you list your home for sale, many industry professionals believe it is as crucial as marketing. You are making significant improvements to the selling potential of what will become a very large transaction, so obtaining a higher selling price, as well as promoting a quick sale with less marketing time, is beneficial. When your home is dressed to impress, it will stand out from others on the market. Something about how it makes people feel, how they can picture themselves living there, it just feels so warm and inviting. It’s a simple step to take, to give your home a unique selling point, to set it apart from the competition.

Gardening
Some like it hot
Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries I’ve often wondered if I added up the number of hours I spend watering the garden each summer, what the exact total would come to? I’m sure the answer would surprise me. Imagine what else I could be doing with that time? Enjoying a well-earned drink on the deck springs to mind. That’s why I like plants and flowers that tend to look after themselves. Like the colourful gazania, for example. This Southern-African native prefers conditions that are hot, dry, windy and sunny – the perfect plant for a long New Zealand summer. Because of this, it’s best to position them in a free draining area –along the side of your house, near your letterbox or, if you’re lucky enough, outside your beach house. Gazania will add a splash of summer colour, producing flowers in hot shades of orange, red, yellow and cream – colours that also look stunning in pots. In fact, they’re perfect for the deck as you can leave them to go about the business of flowering, without the need for watering.
Sound like the perfect plant for you? Grab some Awapuni gazania seedlings from your local supermarket or Bunnings. Look out for the fiery Kiss Orange Flame and Kiss Rose, as well as our mixed variety. Alternatively, head to our online store at www.awapuni.co.nz and get them delivered straight to your door. When planting, choose an area with soil that is well drained, rather than hard and wet. Dig a hole and pop in your seedling. Plant your seedlings quite close together – about 200mm apart - as they don’t tend to spread too far outwards when they grow. It’s also the perfect distance for covering any gaps should any of the plants fail to prosper.
In around six to eight weeks you should be enjoying a flurry of hot, summer colour that will last the whole season. Best admired on the patio with a drink.

Italy as we know it was a 20th-century invention and its landscapes, dialects and customs are still distinct across its regions. That's what makes exploring on a holiday in Italy so rewarding. It's a tangle of history, culture and food.
The land of food, philosophy, art and fashion has brightened our world immeasurably. A globe without Blanc, Satre, Matisse and Chanel would be a bland one indeed! Even if you don't pack your inner romantic for a holiday in France, Parisian chic and Monet-like visions of the countryside may just convert you anyway. SPAIN
Mediterranean coves, sun-warmed Andalucian plains and the snow-dusted Pyrenees are just a start. Ruins, riads, gardens, palaces and monuments are enduring legacies from the civilizations which have risen and fallen here. Energy bubbles through Madrid
