Sell your home fast with these 3 often-overlooked home-staging tricks BY BRANDPOINT
I
f you’ll be selling your home this spring, your Realtor will probably talk to you about staging the house to maximize its appeal to buyers. Staging is a simple process that can have a big impact on how quickly your home sells and, Realtors say, how much buyers are willing to pay for it. If you’ve decided to stage your home for a speedier, more profitable sale this season, keep in mind these three oftenoverlooked tricks to make your home look, feel and smell great.
DECLUTTER EVEN WHERE YOU DON’T THINK IT COUNTS
Your real estate agent will likely tell you to declutter — removing extra items from kitchen countertops and from tables throughout the home, packing away family photos and excess knick-knacks. All those things are important, but what happens when a potential buyer opens the hallway closet, or goes into the walk-in closet in your master bedroom? It’s important to declutter everywhere, not just the spots you immediately see when you walk into a house. Serious buy-
ers will open drawers, cabinets and closets and if those spots are stuffed full, they’ll look smaller, less impressive and unappealing. Likewise, clean out your garage; it’s hard for a buyer to appreciate the expansiveness of your two-car garage if that’s where you’ve stored all the boxes of stuff you removed from the house. If you have a lot of stuff to pack away, consider renting a storage unit for a few months.
DEEP CLEAN EVERYTHING
Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes, but even a hint of dirt in either room can wipe out a buyer’s good impression of your home. A deep clean is essential in these rooms, and will create a positive effect on multiple levels; your home will look and smell clean, fresh and newer. In the bathroom, be sure bathtubs and showers are meticulously clean. Descale showerheads and glass shower doors, clean and polish metal drain grates as well as fixtures. Clean grout, mirrors and every crevice. Add a few drops of lemon or sweet orange essential oils to sink and shower drains to

Hwy 258 Approx. 176 acres (to be surveyed). West Daviess Co. A mix of crop, CRP, and wooded land. $665,000 Brad Cecil 270-929-1595
EMPLOY AROMATHERAPY
Avery suggests warming water on the stove with a few drops of your favorite essential oil such as cinnamon, clove, vanilla or orange. It’s a quick, low-cost way to create a welcoming aroma in your home. Deodorize carpets with a mixture of 18 drops of essential oil and 1 cup of baking soda. Or, you can easily create your own air freshener by mixing your favorite essential oils and distilled water in a spray bottle. For longer-lasting, comforting aroma, try this recipe for aroma crystals:
Vanilla amber aroma crystals Ingredients
“Aromas significantly impact emotions, so making your house smell good is a great way to appeal to potential buyers on a very elemental level,” says Charlynn Avery, aromatherapist and educator for Aura Cacia, an essential oil brand “But be careful to not overwhelm with scents that are too ‘perfumey’ or synthetic, as those could cause adverse reactions in people who suffer from allergies. Instead, opt for natural freshening scents like lemon or purifying scents like eucalyptus.”
1 cup coarse-grained, chunky sea salt 1 teaspoon jojoba or grapeseed oil (just enough to make the salts glisten) 25 drops Aura Cacia Vanilla Precious Essentials Oil 10 drops lavender essential oil 10 drops sweet orange essential oil Directions: Mix salt and oils, pour into a decorative dish or bowl and set out on a table. Placing the crystals in a warm sunny window or near a heat register will help diffuse the delicious aroma throughout the room. Stir in additional essential oils to boost the scent as needed.

keep them smelling fresh. In the kitchen, in addition to clean countertops, floors and appliance exteriors, make sure the inside of ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers are also clean. Since kitchen appliances usually come with the house, buyers may look inside them. Change the filter in your kitchen hood and make sure the light over the stove is working. Finally, while clean windows are important throughout the house, they’re essential in a kitchen where buyers want to envision themselves in a bright, welcoming environment.

A family oasis in The Downs BY JODI KEEN
MESSENGER-INQUIRER
ucked in a quiet neighborhood behind bustling Ky. 54, among streets cleverly bestowed with equestrian-themed names, lies an ideal family property. A contemporary brick-and-vinyl-sided home, 3215 Bridle Way offers three bedrooms, two full baths, attached two-car garage and 1,805 square feet of space to meet all entertaining and family needs. Vaulted ceilings in the foyer and an open floor plan facilitate easy movement through this spacious home, while cozy
nooks throughout offer private spots for reading or homework. The outsized eat-in kitchen, complete with additional bar seats, prefaces an expansive, comfortable family room, where an elegant gas fireplace beckons for gatherings over games and movies. A generous sprinkling of windows allows plenty of natural light to shine throughout the home. A treat awaits under the stairs in the foyer: A space large enough to accommodate a child’s reading spot, perhaps, or a sound system setup, or even a palatial pet cave. Generous loft space abounds in
an upstairs that is currently used as a bedroom but could easily function as a playroom, entertainment hub, crafting center or storage. “The home’s best feature is its flexibility,” says Jim Estes of Greater Owensboro Realty Company. “It can grow or shrink with you as your family needs change. It could be anything and everything with just about any family.” More entertainment options await outside, as the living room and kitchen both lead to a spacious backyard with a sizable patio, privacy fence and large above-ground swimming pool with built-in deck.
The house “entertains both inside and outside well — (the rooms) all shoot out different doors to create a circle” around the backyard, Estes says. Basking in the sun in the yard, it’s easy to forget this tranquil property lies a half-mile away from the brisk pace of Ky. 54, but Estes says that’s part of its appeal. And just like Owensboro’s booming east side, 3215 Bridle Way proves its options are endless.

Add fire safety to your family’s routine BY BRANDPOINT
hink of all the items you replace r egularly — your cellphone, lightbulbs and even your toothbr ush. But when was the last time you replaced your smoke alarm batteries, or even the alarms themselves? It’s easy to overlook, but the time to think about fire safety is now — before an emergency strikes. Many assume that because they have smoke alarms in their homes, they’re protected in the event of a fire. In reality, smoke alarms need to be installed, maintained and tested regularly to ensure they’re working properly. That effort includes knowing how old smoke alarms and their batteries are, as neither lasts forever. While smoke alarm lifespan and sensing technology have improved in recent years, the fact remains that all smoke alarms — even hardwired and sealed battery models — expire after 10 years. “According to the National Fire Protection Association (www.nfpa.org), three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms or from missing or dead batteries,” said Tarsila Wey, director of marketing for First
Alert. “Just like other household duties, it’s important to make sure alarm maintenance and replacement and escape planning and practice become a regular, ongoing part of your family’s routine.” First Alert offers the following advice to ensure your family is best protected from fire.
COUNT THE ALARMS
In most cases, one alarm isn’t enough. In fact, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), recommends smoke alarms be installed inside ever y bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement, as well as one carbon monoxide (CO) alarm on each level and in each sleeping area. A quick and easy way to remember is one on every level and in every bedroom.
INSTALL THEM PROPERLY
Does your alarm ever sound when cooking? Chances are, you’ve installed the alarm too close to your appliances. An easy way to reduce false alarms and maximize coverage is to take a moment to review manufacturer guidelines and install alarms in the proper locations. Smoke alarms should generally
be installed at least 10 feet from a cooking appliance to minimize false alarms. It’s also recommended to install smoke alarms high on walls or ceilings. Remember, smoke rises, so high placement provides a direct path for detection. Lastly, don’t install smoke alarms near windows, doors or ducts, where drafts might interfere with their operation.
part of the story. In order to function properly, all alarms must be regularly inspected and maintained. Make sure to test the alarm, by simply holding down the test button, at least once a month. Also, when testing, it’s important to clean the alarm to remove any dust or debris. This advice holds true even for newer alarms, which feature 10-year batteries, as well as hardwired alarms that feature a battery back-up. GET COMPLETE COVERAGE In general, there are two types of Check or replace the battery when you fires — quick flaming and smoldering. change the time on your clocks each Today’s smoke alarms are effective at spring and fall. detecting both but use unique technologies that make them better suited for PLAN YOUR ESCAPE particular locations within the home. Maintaining alarms is essential to The NFPA and other safety advocates every household, but what about your recommend installing dual-sensor escape route?

ome is your sanctuar y, your castle, the place where you feel the most secur e and protected. It is natural to feel this way. So, it is not surprising that you store your prized possessions and valuables at home as well. But is that the best choice for all your valuables? The recent wildfires in California are the latest in a string of devastating disasters to impact homeowners in the U.S. Together with the hurricanes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and tornadoes and flooding in the Midwest, residential property losses are expected to approach $100 billion according to CoreLogic. Making matters worse, as much as 80 percent of these losses are not insured. Together with the surge in residential burglaries over the last few years, it appears homes are under siege. Because of these events, the cost of homeowners insurance is expected to increase dramatically in 2018 and beyond.
Now more than ever, you need a thoughtful examination of how best to protect your valuable possessions and to identify strategies to reduce your insurance costs. These tips will help get you star ted:
