Stay Organized and Stay That Way By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker

So you just finished reading Marie Kondo’s book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” or maybe binged watched it on Netflix. You have kept everything that brings you joy and thanked the items for their service, What’s next? Once you’ve organized and simplified your home or office how do you keep it that way? Here are some tips that will help. The primary tip is to give everything a place. As my dad used to say “A place for everything and everything in its place.” A simple thought and saying, but if you think about it, that is the very key to being and staying organized. This applies to everything big and small — from remote controls, keys and phone chargers to paperwork, sports equipment and Christmas decorations. First designate an area and then invest in storage containers or use cardboard boxes to keep It all contained and organized. If your home is large, assign each room a day of the week and schedule 10-15 minutes. Breaking the task down into small bites. Think one day and one room at a time, this will make it manageable and help fit into your busy schedule. Stay on top of it! Do a clutter check each week. Block out an hour to sort and organize anything that’s fallen out of place. Create a catch-all area in the main rooms such as the kitchen and living room where things tend to collect. Place a bin in these rooms and collect Items that belong elsewhere, and at the end of the week, put things away. If you find that the items in the bin are mostly toys and games, put your children in charge to put them away. Rethink your purchases. In order to live a less-cluttered simpler life you need to consciously think about what you want versus what you actually need. Commit to maintaining a constant number of items in your home and then donate or give away a similar item each time you purchase a new one. For example, if you buy a new shirt donate one or if you want a new decoration have a place for it or donate something you already own. Review every quarter, especially if you have children. Kids tend to outgrow clothes, games toys and other items very quickly. It is amazing how much “stuff” you never use. Sorting through items every few months will ensure that your home will stay tidy and under control. Paperwork is a huge culprit. Think about signing up for paperless billing for your monthly bills, credit cards, utilities, etc. and then when done you can store in a folder on your computer and in the cloud, out of sight but just a search word away. Keep a hard folder or safety deposit box for pink slips and other important hard documents. However designate a place for these and your tax paperwork so it doesn’t get out of control. The key is of course to stay vigilant and you can live clutter free. But if you find you need a larger house give me a call. Patrick McCarran is a local Realtor and Broker DRE# 01325072.

B WALKER RANCH

-A Day Program For Adults With Autism-

SUISUN VALLEY, CA • 501(C3) NONPROFIT CORP

"1 in 59 children are on the autistic spectrum"

CDC (Center of Disease Control) April 2018

"Each year, an estimated 50,000 teens with autism age out of their school-based programs" CDC (Center of Disease Control) April 2018 It is estimated that 1.3 million adults have aged out of their current programming with nowhere to go. Without day programming, many remain in the home without access to educational services that lighten the load of an already strained household. These families are our neighbors.

B Walker Ranch has a solution. B Walker Ranch is dedicated to making a profound difference for those families whose lives have been touched by autism. A working Ranch program that can be duplicated in communities everywhere.

Who do you know who has Autism? www.BWalkerRanch.org For Information Contact Jeanine Stanley JeanineStanley@BWalkerRanch.org Pamela Hale Mitchell PamelaHMitchell@windermere.com (925)788-6225

Realtors vs Veterans

Alamo!

Wonderful Family-Friendly Community with Great Schools and Weather.

I recently encountered a young man while we were both volunteering to help at an event to support the homeless. He was probably in his early 20's and of impressive size and stature. Near the end of the day's work I sought him out to thank him for volunteering and to learn more about him. He told me he was a Veteran of Iraq-Afghanistan and had heard about the event from other Vets. I had noticed that he never removed his cap or glasses. He explained he was concealing injuries encountered in the war. Removal of his sun glasses revealed a missing eye and very damaged area around the eye. Removal of the cap revealed many divots and bumps and odd patches of hair and scars. Just the sort of thing that would make little children run for mommy.

Nam Veteran in a home purchase. We wrote the offer with 50% down payment, and conventional financing. We also reserved the option to use VA financing at no cost to the seller. The Realtor advised the seller to counter out the VA option.

My client was denied his EARNED benefit.

He now pays about .33% extra in interest as a result. About enough $$ to buy a very very nice dinner every month. The Veteran ask me near close why the Realtor countered out the VA option despite the no cost language. I explained that they thought they might have some extra paperwork or perform other VA obligations. He explained to me that he was called upon to OAK put forthLANE some extra effort.

Susan has been an absolute blessing to Allan & I. She was there every step of the way, and went above and beyond the duty of a real estate professional. She is number 1 in my book! She truly is the best in the business. I highly recommend her in the sale of one’s home. I give her a diamond over 5 stars. ~ Alison R.

We had the pleasure of working with Susan Redgrave on the sale of our home in Brentwood. The experience, which can be stressful, was overwhelmingly positive, thanks entirely to Susan. She put together an effective plan that took us from preparing the house through to closing, and each step along the way was clearly laid out and explained fully. Any questions that we had along the way were answered quickly, & accurately, and always with patience, and a positive attitude. Susan did an excellent job of communicating progress, timing, next steps, and etc., during the entire process. She took on the burden of coordinating painters, landscapers, carpet cleaners, house cleaners and stagers, who transformed the home into an attractive and desired property. She hosted a brokers tour and held open houses, which generated additional interest in the home. We ended up with multiple offers, all over the asking price. This allowed us to select the one that we thought was the best fit for the neighborhood. She even helped us on the purchase of our new place, by offering insight and advice on properties that we were looking at. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is thinking of selling, or buying, in the Brentwood area. Besides being fun, and easy to work with, she is the epitome of professionalism, is extremely hard-working, and an excellent communicator. it was the easiest real estate transaction that I've been a part of. ~Allan R.

My sister and I had to sell our mother's house as she recently passed. We chose Susan Redgrave at Dudum Realty based upon a recommendation from a friend of mine. We could not have been in better more capable hands. Susan handled everything. She was very prompt, excellent communication and she acted professionally at all times. She let us make our own decisions but chimed in and offered advice and direction when we needed it. In the past I have worked with other real estate agents and normally they take a look around, create a list of things that need to be done to make the house attractive and place all that responsibility squarely in the laps of the seller. Susan was not like that. She found things that needed to be addressed and she took the lead and fixed them. She had many contacts that would come over and fix things immediately. My sister and I live 45 min to an hour away from Brentwood and we found Susan's help invaluable. Bottom line we got multiple offers and sold the house above asking price due to the abilities that Susan and Dudum Realty offers. I would highly highly recommend Dudum and Susan. In fact I have already done so with my children's mother who is moving out of Brentwood soon. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Brentwood and surrounding areas, you cannot go wrong in choosing Dudum Realty and Susan Redgrave. She is fantastic. ~Scott H.

Real Estate GUIDE • 31

REAL ESTATE AND USED CARS In today’s world, we seem to be pushed into acting quickly on financial decisions that may impact your financial situation in both the short and long term; also, in a positive or negative direction. Today, you may run into real estate agencies that promise cut fees, higher prices for your home and good service. This smacks to me of a used car sales approach, where claims are made and eventually not supported when the deal comes through. Your home is not a used car. When selling your home there are certain things that have been proven to be true when selling a home in order to get you the optimum deal: - The agent should be familiar with your home and the area in which it sits. A remote agent can look at the comparable prices or refer to an automated valuation tool that give an estimated value but without looking at the property in person and taking copious notes on it, there is no way for an accurate valuation to be done. If the home has some years on it, it may be indicated that some repairs are done in order to sell the homes for its worth, or at least to generate offers that are complementary to its neighbors. Your agent can help in guiding you to repairs and maintenance that will result in the best possible outcome. - Quick may not be the best solution. Unless you are in default on your loan, getting the most for your home is a longer-term process than a 10 day, all cash closing of escrow. Even if you are in default, your agent has the means to work with your lender to allow you to sell the property on a regular time frame; they benefit from that as well. Oftentimes, you may be presented with an all cash offer that can close escrow rapidly. After a short time, the offer may change to allow for financing, and then for repairs, and then for a reduced price. The lure of quick cash is not recommended for real estate transactions, despite how tempting it may be. -

It is important to know who the Buyer may be. Buyers looking for homes where they plan to live will take their time finding their home of choice unless, 1) they are in contract and need to get into another home quickly, 2) they are new to the area and the home they thought they had has fallen through, or 3) they have been looking for an extended period of time and need to settle once and for all. Buyers in a hurry for other reasons do not have true time pressures working on them and the Seller needs to be aware of other reasons why the offers are not meeting expectations.

Do not feel pressured to leave your home on a compressed escrow period, especially when you do not have a place to move. Out very first concern when we list a home is to ensure that our Seller is not moved to the street. The pressure of moving is hard enough; adding to it does nothing positive.

Reduced commissions may not provide more money in your pocket. Part of the commission that your agent earns is spent on promotion, advertising, printing costs, gasoline and auto charges and other various and sundry items related to the task of selling your home. If the commission is low, very likely your home will not get the exposure you thought it may deserve.

1. Magazine readership has increased over the last 5 years in the United States. 2. 93% of all American adults read magazines regularly. 3. Magazines usually stay in homes and offices for weeks and months (with ads being looked at again and again) while internet ads can disappear into cyberspace in the blink of an eye. 4. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience. 5. Not only is magazine readership up, but readers spend an average of 43 minutes per use. 6. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Magazines and magazine ads garner the most attention: BIGresearch studies show that when consumers read magazines they are much like to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the Internet. 7. Magazines delivers more ad impressions that TV or Web in each half-hour period. 8. Magazine readership in the 18 to 34 segment is growing. 9. Magazines are the No. 1 medium of engagement - across all dimensions measured. Simmons' Multi-Media Engagement Study finds magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the Internet in ad receptivity and all of the other engagement dimensions, including "trustworthy" and "inspirational". 10. Magazines outperform other media in driving positive shifts in purchase consideration/intent. 11. Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online - higher than newer media options. 12. Magazines reach specific audiences. The only people who pick up this Real Estate magazine are people interested in real estate(buying, selling, etc.).
