A note from the Publisher Sylvie Legault, President, CEO info@homefinderweekly.com
Thinking of Selling? Thinking of selling your home this fall? While the fall season typically sees a slow down of house sales, it’s not to say it’s a bad time to sell; you may just have to put in a little extra effort to ensure that your home stands out amongst others. Autumn’s beauty helps to create instant curb appeal for your home. Trees with leaves in warm tones of pumpkin, red and gold naturally provide a lovely backdrop for your home. Certainly fall’s rich and warm hues help to create a great first impression for your home and property. Now go the extra mile and do some work to make your home all the more sale ready for fall. Maintain your lawn. Yes, your lawn needs attention and care during the fall season so now is no time to stop, especially if you are planning to sell! Maintain your lawn by raking leaves and twigs and patching

brown spots. Prune shrubs and bushes. At the same time, ensure that walkways are free of leaves and debris. Clean gutters and downspouts too. Inside, highlight the fireplace; it’s a super fall selling feature. Make your fireplace shine by making it the focal point. To start, add beautiful artwork to the mantle or perhaps candles or even a collection of treasured vases filled with fresh fall flowers to draw the eye upward. Nestling furniture around the fireplace is another way to make the fireplace a focal point in any room. Add cozy cushions and a throw to the couch or chairs surrounding the fireplace to complete the mood. Make widows sparkle. Clean your widows and open blinds and curtains to let the light in. If you have a great view outside, be sure to flaunt it! In fact, everything in your home should be sparkling clean for

showings. Pay particular attention to the front hall where fall leaves and debris can blow in from outdoors and muddy shoes can leave a mess on floors. Of course, no matter the season, always de-clutter before even thinking of inviting potential home buyers into your home for showings. Make sure everything works and looks fresh. Everything should be in good working order. No leaky toilets, loose knobs or handles and walls and ceilings should be clean and free of chips, etc. Take the advice of a professional real estate agent for an objective view of what work absolutely needs to be done to ensure the quick sale of your property. Sometimes interior or some exterior painting is all that is needed to freshen up a home and make it ready for sale. Enlist the expertise of a licensed real estate agent.

invest the time to find an experienced realtor to work on your behalf. One of the most important things you can do is develop a relationship with an experienced real estate agent with whom you are comfortable. Your realtor will be an active partner every step of the selling process. He/she will provide invaluable facts from comparable prices, advice on housing market conditions, information on neighborhood trends and much more. He/She will help you price your house correctly. Some buyers may be looking for a bargain before the holidays and your real estate agent will offer sound advice to price your house competitively. Have a wonderful fall season and happy house selling!

• Adds experience and expertise in all aspects of the sales process including marketing, financing, negotiations and more. • Handles all showings.
• Brings a network of known, trusted real estate professionals. If your REALTOR® doesn’t have the answer, he or she likely knows someone who does.

• Unlike buyers and sellers, a REALTOR® has no emotional attachment to property.
• Has the knowledge to help you ask the right questions.

Solutions for small spaces
Ask most teenagers about the function of the living room and you're apt to see a bewildered shrug. Ask them about the duty of a family room on the other hand and watch how quickly confusion turns to confidence. "It's for hanging out and watching TV", they reply.
True enough. However, for those who live in small spaces without a dedicated family room the living room must be used for… living.
Liz’ Tips
By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment Brockville, Ontario
Whether the occasion is an impromptu movie night, a restful moment with a good book, or a card game with the boys, the living room facilitates lingering and happy gatherings. In other words, it's not just a showplace; this is the true heart of the home, so avoid striving for perfect, pristine rooms, and create a setting where family and friends can spend quality time together. Although it is quite difficult to decorate a living room when you do not have a lot of space to work with in your home, however you can change the cramped quarters into cozy and attractive spaces. To create comfort in a small living room choose simple patterns and combine them with solid fabrics. This provides the space with "breathing room"; reducing visual chaos. Robust or definite patterns can be distracting, shifting focus from a more deserving focal point and creating a confusing backdrop to works of art. Furniture that does double duty - a sofa that becomes a guest bed, a table that rises to dining height – stretches the living room's functionality.
Here are a further 5 easy steps to decorate a small living room. 1. Use enough, and bright, lighting in order to create a comfortable atmosphere. You can use dramatic wall lighting that is considered as best ones to light up the small spaces. For this, you need to use wall sconces and other decorative wall fixtures. The right lighting fixtures can open up any room, even if the room has darker-hued walls.
furniture, select fewer but larger pieces. Furniture such as armless accent chairs, low benches, ottomans, and double-duty pieces like storage benches can be very useful in a small living room.
colors for upholstered furniture, accents, carpet, and rugs. You can go for pale greens and blues, buttery yellows, and other light colors to make your living room feel large.
3. Place the furniture in such a way that it does 2. Instead of placing many smaller pieces of Moreover, select light and airy fabrics and not block doors and windows. Try to open up as much floor and wall space as possible.
4. Always keep your living room clutter-free. Even though your favourite mementos around look nice, but too many items can make small rooms seem messy and cluttered. You can use sleek bookcases and attractive cabinets to keep such items. 5. Last but not least, consider decorating walls and tabletops with a few larger items. You can hang a single, larger piece of artwork on the wall or you can place one or two items on an end table to decorate the room. While decorating the living room, keep in mind simpler is always better. Keep the things fewer and simpler to make the living room attractive and welcoming.
