LETTERS FROM LANCE As I sit here tonight wrapping up my day and pondering the opportunities for 2020 I can’t help but be super excited! The New Year always brings a chance to refocus on what is important, to look at the goals that you have set for the New Year and set out to tackle them with gusto. We finished 2019 with a strong finish, in fact this December was our largest ever in company history. Our team continues to grow and this will be the year we move into our very own New Home! We spend so much time helping others find their new homes and business locations, it is extra special to see it happening for our own team. No matter if it is in health, business, or relationships we wish you all the best as we embark on 2020. We hope you find some great examples and info in this Quarterly to help along the way. -Lance Kenmore
Progress! We eagerly anticipate moving into the brand new Kenmore Team headquarters. The new building, located right by our current office, will provide more space to accommodate the growth of our team and continued service to our growing client base in residential and commercial real estate, as well as property management and construction services.

N TO AR: ER!
As we thought through healthy recipes for this quarterly, we wanted fresh and easy ways to incorporate our health theme. Smoothies are a great way to incorporate a wide variety of nutrients while also offering many different flavors! We also like that you can hardly go wrong with any combination of fresh, frozen, and nutrition. We did a little flavor experimenting and came up with a few favorites on the next page along with a list of different options for you to build your own smoothie.

SARAH MACHIELA BUYER SPECIALIST REALTOR® Cell: 509.591.2026 sarah@kenmoreteam.com
AT HOME WITH THE BILODEAUS Buyer Specialist Sarah worked with the Bilodeau family to find their forever home! After moving to the Tri-Cities and looking on and off for three years they purchased a spacious home to fit the whole family. The kitchen is their favorite part of the home and they love that it’s open concept that offers a great gathering space. They’ve already started to customize and make the home even more cozy by updating the fireplace, bringing in modern light fixtures, and working with a local wood worker for a new mantle and other hand crafted pieces. As part of our at home feature we chatted with Brent and Cass on video, be sure to watch on Facebook for the video to see more.

/ 2019 RESIDENTIAL: BUYER’S ARTICLE
HEALTHY HOME Americans spend an average of 90% of their time indoors. More than half of that time is in our own home. Long ago, homes were much simpler, and their main purpose was simply to provide walls and a roof to shelter its occupants from the elements. Over time, our knowledge and capabilities have improved tremendously, resulting in healthier and more comfortable homes. Living in a residence that provides a safe and healthy environment plays a key part in individual health and happiness. So how do we help ensure our home is safe and healthy? Purchasing homes that are well maintained and efficient and then maintaining preventative maintenance and repair throughout ownership is key. But even knowing this, making these decisions can be a fight between what you can afford, and what you know to be healthy. This holds true for both current homeowners and buyers shopping for a home. For existing homeowners, ongoing maintenance and repair can be time consuming and expensive. Purchasing a home with all the features and location you desire, that has also been well maintained, can stretch the price out of your budget. The cost of a healthy home can deter you from making wise decisions regarding your house – but don’t let it! Keeping up on general maintenance of the home is one of the most fundamental ways to keep homeowners from being forced to spend SIGNIFICANTLY more time and money when something goes wrong. Fortunately, your household cleaning or home maintenance checklist does not have to be overwhelming in order to be effective. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development suggests some simple ways to help make your home a healthier place for you and your family.
1. KEEP IT DRY Prevent water from entering your home through leaks in roofing systems, rainwater from entering the home due to poor drainage, and check your interior plumbing for any leaking. 2. KEEP IT CLEAN Control the source of dust and contaminants, creating smooth and cleanable surfaces, reducing clutter, and using effective wet-cleaning methods. 3. KEEP IT SAFE Store poisons out of the reach of children and properly label. Secure loose rugs and keep children’s play areas free from hard or sharp surfaces. Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and keep fire extinguishers on hand. 4. KEEP IT WELL-VENTILATED Ventilate bathrooms and kitchens and use whole house ventilation for supplying fresh air to reduce the concentration of contaminants in the home. 5. KEEP IT PEST-FREE All pests look for food, water and shelter. Seal cracks and openings throughout the home; store food in pestresistant containers. If needed, use sticky-traps and baits in closed containers, along with least toxic pesticides such as boric acid powder. 6. KEEP IT CONTAMINANT-FREE Reduce lead-related hazards in pre-1978 homes by fixing deteriorated paint and keeping floors and window areas
R E S I D E N T I A L | pro pe r t y ma n a g e me nt | co mme rc i a l | fe atu re
clean using wet-cleaning approach. Test your home for radon, a naturally occurring dangerous gas that enters homes through soil, crawlspaces, and foundation crack. Install a radon removal system if levels above the EPA action-level are detected. If you have a well, test your water periodically. 7. KEEP YOUR HOME MAINTAINED Inspect, clean and repair your home routinely. Take care of minor repairs and problems before they become large repairs and problems. This includes things like servicing your HVAC system, cleaning your ducts, having your septic pumped, and servicing your hot water heater. If you are looking to buy a house, you almost certainly have a definitive list of desires for the location, size, layout and style of your home. But don’t overlook the quality of the features and systems within. A home that is properly maintained can save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Newer or well maintained and more efficient windows, flooring, HVAC, fixtures, appliances, and insulation will help the overall health of your home. But as a buyer you may not be able to afford all the things you desire in a home. But don’t worry……if you get a house with less than you hoped for you can make updates over time and be diligent in maintaining all the existing structures and systems. With maintenance you’ll stretch the life of your systems and mechanicals, increasing the value of your home AND keeping more money available for the kinds of things you’d rather spend your money on. Performing home maintenance has other valuable results. As you track and monitor the systems in your home, you will gain an understanding of its inter-workings, most likely gain useful skills, and hopefully feel a sense of pride in knowing that your efforts help keep your family healthy and happy, and build value in your investment!

The attractive new two-story building on Duportail Street in South Richland is home to Columbia Point Eye Care’s newest office. And if you haven’t noticed the structure when you are in the area, it is time to stop in for an eye exam!

Dr. Royce Barney and Dr. Brandon Furness own and operate Columbia Point Eye Care. The gorgeous new space that opened in mid-October is their third location in the Tri-Cities, adding to their existing Richland and Kennewick offices. The doctors had their eye on the Duportail-Keene-Queensgate area for a couple years. South Richland and West Richland are also a bit underserved for optometrists and the area is developing rapidly. The new building is owned by Tri-City Orthodontics - their neighbor at Columbia Point. The two practices had great synergy and shared some of their patients, so it was another solid reason to venture into leasing the new space. The leasing and buildout had its challenges since this was the pair’s first cold start of an office. Dr. Barney says the experience was great with the Kenmore Team helping throughout the process, and fun to start from scratch to pick the layout and design. The space is bright and open to allow for expansion and their extensive walls of frames for customers to browse. Their capacity for patients also grew by 50% with the expansion. Prior to completing optometry school, Dr. Barney was fortunate to establish a strong relationship with local optometrist Dr. David Cantley. He bought into Dr. Cantley’s practice in 2012. When Dr. Cantley retired a year later, Dr. Furness joined the team operating at Columbia Point. Dr. Furness had
practiced at the Kennewick Fred Meyer for five years prior. The team expanded again to its Kennewick location in 2015 when they added Dr. Kurtis Hill’s practice. Dr. Hill, a former Air Force and Group Health optometrist, operated his own business for eight years before the pair bought him out and he joined Columbia Point Eye Care. At the new clinic they offer all the usual optometry services but with some fabulous top technology and advanced new equipment. Their overall focus at all locations is providing excellent personal care while respecting each patients time. The walls are visual confirmation of their intention to provide each person with a wide variety of frame options. Every clinic carries several different brands with over 2,300 frames available to try in person. The doctors also specialize in cutting edge dry eye treatments. Improving your eyesight is important but it’s just one of the reasons to get your eyes examined. Regular eye exams are an important part of finding eye diseases. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, neurological issues and other issues can often be detected by examining the eye. Contact lenses are making advances all the time. People who have been told in the past that they aren’t a candidate for contacts can be helped with the newest versions.

Parents and kids often aren’t aware that one their child’s eyes are not working well if they are doing well in school and not complaining. But it is common to have one eye not seeing well and the other compensating for it. The eye can remain behind in development for a lifetime if not corrected. There are other conditions that also can only be treated and corrected if they are caught young. Dr. Barney and Dr. Furness recommend children receive an initial exam about age three and then right before they head to kindergarten. But it is never too early from six months old. The simple exam can just make sure the infant’s eyes are developing property. Columbia Point Eye Care was always open to expansion, but originally thought it might be in the form of one larger location. As they have grown in the past decade, they love their decision to operate multiple smaller locations. The customer has opportunity to come to a location closer to their work or home to see their usual provider. Dr. Barney and Dr. Furness want every patient to feel comfortable. The optometrists and their staff never want their patients to feel left behind as they expand so they focus on individualized care. One key point is to value the patients time and operate efficiently without rushing them through and not being thorough. Every patient gets a survey when they
leave. The success of the practice is in self-evaluating the customer experience and their processes to provide the best service. Dr. Furness loves hearing, “This has been the best eye clinic experience I’ve had.” Dr. Barney loves to read the online reviews because people often say things there that they don’t say in person. This is what they strive for! For now, the doctors will focus on filling up the space and time they have and continuing the relationships they love with their patients. In the future, they would like to continue growing and better serve the community and their employees. New and existing patients can schedule their appointments online or call one of the three offices closest to them.

PROPERTY HEALTH Maintaining a clean, safe, and livable rental property is a shared commitment. Homeowners bear most of the responsibility as they are required to keep the property habitable by maintaining the plumbing, heating, appliances, and keeping it structurally sound. Tenants should treat their space or home with care and keep it reasonably clean and sanitary. Going above and beyond these minimum requirements are beneficial to both the tenant and the landlord. Here are some of the most common maintenance issues a tenant can not only handle on their own, and may be required to do so per the signed lease agreement, to avoid costly repairs in the future.
fixes and tests for things like a malfunctioning garbage disposal or unresponsive garage door opener. A reset of a tripped outlet or breaker, new batteries, or unblocking sensors often remedy these smaller issues without requiring a maintenance call. Proper landlord maintenance minimizes the risk of huge issues and maximizes your rental investment. Common rental property maintenance and repair issues that may arise involve the following: • Plumbing • HVAC • Painting
• Discard trash and old food
• Electrical work
• Prevent mold growth
• Locksmith issues
• Prevent excessive dirt buildup on walls and floors
• Lawn and yard maintenance
• Prevent rust, grime or soap scum buildup
• Common area upkeep
• Replace smoke detector batteries regularly • Replace HVAC filters every 3 months • Disconnect hoses and cover spickets in winter • Trim and weed yard (if yard maintenance is their responsibility)
Tenants should always report any issues with their rental unit as soon as possible. Small water leaks, pest issues, and other minor issues can become large problems for the all parties if left unchecked. If a tenant notices an issue and fails to report it to the landlord, the tenant may be liable for additional damage that wouldn’t have occurred otherwise. However, it is important a good idea to try some simple
Often the first thing that comes to mind when a problem is found is, “How much is this going to cost?” As a Landlord, you may encounter a series of maintenance issues that put a major dent in your budget. Your first instinct may be to avoid fixing the issues to save money. This method of procrastination is often called deferred maintenance and can be extremely costly long term. Regular preventative maintenance will not eliminate all the issues but is a major money-saver in the long run. Adopting a property management maintenance plan addressing preventative maintenance and unexpected problems will ensure your investment is in its best shape at any given time.

Proper maintenance is key in keeping the rental in the best shape for tenants to live and maintaining a healthy landlordtenant relationship. It also helps keep the investment operating in the black and maintaining its value over a longer period. The responsibilities for the landlord may seem overwhelming but are extremely important. Owners can choose to the solicit the services of Property Management that will help organize and handle these tasks and issues.
