“I’ve been advertising in KC Homes/KCHome Lifestyle magazine for many years.

During the last few tough years, it continued to be a great value when marketing my listings. I’ve received many leads over the years from the magazine and its associated online presence... It gives me an edge when interviewing with Sellers. I’m excited about the recent changes they’ve made in the magazine, and I believe their new look will bring new appeal to the magazine, and carry them into the future as still a great value and a great means of advertising for agents that want to reach more potential buyers.” Julie Deppen Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc.

“Recently, Gwen Kemper was selected to market a property because this particular lady knew we advertised in the KCHOME and Lifestyle. In fact, she pulled out a recent issue to comment on our advertising and said she liked the fact that we did not just advertise on the Internet. Her home featured on the front cover and sold within a short time.”

Micki Trotter/Gwen Kemper of Woodward Real Estate

“18 years ago I started my career in real estate. KCHOME and Lifestyle evolved and our listings are distributed by the magazine to hundreds of websites world wide and we get a lot of leads from these websites. To this day, people instinctively pick up the KCHOME and Lifestyle magazine at the grocery store, and we still receive calls daily from those house hunters.”

“KCHOME and Lifestyle has been a great partner through the years.

Always helpful.”

Laundry ROOM

93% of today’s potential home buyers place a high value on a laundry room.

Eavesdropping one day, I heard a lady extol the virtues of a recently purchased home. She kept mentioning the finished laundry room.

It turns out that the house she bought was in mid remodel when the prior owner claimed bankruptcy. She searched for her dream home through the foreclosure list during an eighteen month period. Finally, she discovered her dream home with every room in chaos except the completed laundry room.

Two thoughts popped into my mind: • Previous owner put all efforts and priority in a laundry room.

• Current owner bought a money pit based on her emotional love of this particular laundry room. www.kchomes.org

My curiosity peeked. I ferreted out recent survey studies: 93% of today’s potential home buyers place high value on the laundry room space. Prospective buyers wish to maintain a separate space to limit noise. Many enjoy a special place with a small television to care for their clothing.

I visited www.thisoldhouse.com in order to gain more knowledge. This site contains many articles about the laundry room remodel. I highly suggest exploring the site in order to review the safety issues associated with installation of the appliances.

After reviewing hundreds of pictures related to appliances, products and even soap, I felt laundry room envy.

a Utility Sink Allows a perfect set up for doing delicates, washing hands, rinsing out dirty clothes before placing in washing machine and filling buckets. b Retractible Ironing Board & Countertops A built in ironing board saves space and looks organized. Coutertops work as helfpful surface area for sorting, folding and stain removal. c Front Load Washer May cost more but they tend to clean better and run more efficiency. Flexibility as to stacking to save floor space. d Flooring Remember this damp area will need water resistant materials for durability and ease of cleaning.

The exterior of your house presents the first impression of your home to visitors or more importantly prospective home buyers. Express your personality through the color of your front door.

Paint your front door a brand new color and your whole house takes on a fresh and different spirit. A bright, high gloss red door, which oddly enough goes with even a weathered red brick, is a chic eye popper: “I wanted to draw people to the door like bees to a flower, and this luscious red did the trick. The color has such clarity. It’s like the most kissable lips. It’s like the best manicure you’ve ever had.” ~SUZANNE TUCKER The color need not be red. There is a whole spectrum of colors that can wake up your whole house and make it shine for a relatively

modest expenditure. Consider a sunny bright yellow, which makes your home appear welcoming, a cheery place filled with happiness and joy. The Paint Quality Institute explored buyers’ responses to front door colors and published the following:

BLUE: Conveys a place of retreat GREEN: Projects health and harmony BLACK: Projects strength and authority RED: Conveys passion and energy BROWN: Offers warmth and reliability Not ready to take the leap of painting. Try smaller ways of expression by playing with house numbers on your door. Simply changing the door knocker or door hardware can add a touch of personality.

a Cheery Yellow A fun welcoming mat would add to the whole presentation. b Door Knockers A small expense with a great sense of spirit c Door Handle A myriad of options to spruce up the appearance of your exterior d Lucscious Red Door The quality of the high gloss in a good brand of Dutch enamels is fantastic, and they wears like iron. e Numbers Add new numbers to your front door. It’s a fun way to play with the curb appeal of your home.
