10 Tips for Creating a

Garage that Adds Value & Comfort to Your Home

Did you ever consider the fact that the garage is often the entryway into your home? How about the fact that a garage is much more than a covered space for your cars – it can actually triple the storage area in your garage? And don’t forget that a creatively organized garage is proven to add resale value to your home. With these benefits in mind, White Rabbit Garage Organizers offers the following tips toward creating a garage that serves as an integral part of your home: 1. Raise garage-stored items at least 4 inches off the ground – garage floors tend to accumulate water, which can damage your possessions. 2. Use wall and ceiling space for storage – this will increase storage space and options. 3.Use shelving and other storage materials which are suitable for a room which is often exposed to the elements – dampness, extreme cold and heat are normal garage conditions. 4. Use shelving with depth and durability which is conducive to the types of materials being stored. If things are prone to fall because of inadequate space or quality of material, organizational efforts will be for naught. 5. When you organize garage-stored items, place frequently used items in front for easy access. This may change with seasons. 6. Effectively separate your tools from your toys – child safety should figure prominently in your garage design.

Home Buying Tips for the Spring Real Estate Market According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the busiest months for home sales take place between April and July. Citizens Bank offers the following home buying tips: Determine your purchasing power –Know how much you can afford to spend on a house before you start looking in order to help you focus on houses in your price range. How much can you afford to spend depends largely on your income and current monthly debt payments. Secure your credit report – Get a copy of your credit report to determine if there are any potential issues that need to be addressed and corrected before applying for a mortgage. To order your free annual credit reports, call 1-877-322-8228 or visit www.annualcreditreport.com. Do your mortgage homework – Especially if you are a first-time buyer, take the time to learn important mortgage and home-buying terms and understand their meanings. Investigate the details – are there additional costs, such as origination or application fees? Get pre-approved – Complete a mortgage preapproval assessment before you start your search so you know approximately how much money

Select a real estate agent – Work with a real estate agent who can make the home buying process easier and more efficient. A real estate agent will match you with the homes you can afford and those that suit your preferences. They know the market and will negotiate with the seller to get the best price possible. Buyer’s checklist – Use a home buyer’s checklist at each house you visit to keep track of important features like amenities, neighborhood and schools. This helps you compare notes and remember the differences and characteristics of each house, especially if you visit several houses in different locations. Know the market –Knowing the facts is key to paying less and it also will improve your negotiating strength. When you know local market and home values, you are less likely to overpay for a property. Be on the lookout for owners who are eager to sell and willing to negotiate – this can save you thousands of dollars. Home inspection – Hire a professional home inspector to determine if there are any potential problems that may be expensive to repair in the near future. Have a backup plan – You and the seller may reach a stalemate when negotiating. Consider developing a back-up plan just in case you are unable to reach an agreement. Define your maximum offer and do not go over it – there are almost always other homes that will meet your criteria.

L i f e and H o m e s

Though it’s hard for many people to actually throw things in the garbage, this will really free up storage space and add to your overall comfort.

10. Respect your garage as you would any room in your home. Proper care and treatment will add benefits you never dreamed of.

■

8. Throw out garage items you haven’t used in three years and don’t foresee needing again.

9. Organize recreational items for easy access. So often we see a deep basket used to store balls. Inevitably, you’ll need the ball sitting at the very bottom.

you can borrow from your lender. Many sellers require a pre-approval letter before reviewing a buyer’s offer. After you apply for a loan, avoid doing anything that would negatively impact your credit score such as opening a new credit or charging large amounts. This is true even after you receive the initial loan approval. Your credit report may be pulled again before loan closing.

7. Speaking of safety, design organization which allows for easy and safe traffic flow. Squeezing your car in tight places may cause many unwanted nicks and dents.

Portable Pools

Fence Them! Cover Them! Put Them Away! Portable pools vary in size and height, from tiny blow-up pools to larger designs that hold thousands of gallons of water. They are easy to use, affordable and fun but can present a real danger to young children. Here are some general tips for children’s safety around portable pools: • Empty and put away smaller portable pools after every use.

newsShorts • Make sure your neighbors, babysitters and visitors know about the pool’s presence in your yard. • Learn and practice CPR so you can help in an emergency.

Mowing Tips for Spring There are more than 30 million acres of lawns across the United States. The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET), offers the following mowing tips. Give your lawn mower a check up.

• Once the pool is set up, ensure high levels of supervision.

Make sure the blades are sharp and the oil has been changed. Also, drain last season’s gas and use fresh gas.

• Fence portable pools and encourage your neighbors to do the same.

Don’t scalp your yard.

• Cover larger portable pools and put access ladders away when adults are not present. • Install alarms on doors leading from the house to the pool area that will alert you when someone enters the pool area. • Teach children to swim, float and other basic lifesaving skills; do not consider young children “drownproof” because they have had swimming lessons.

Don’t cut your grass too short, particularly for cool season grass. Taller grass results in a deeper root system and a lawn that is less likely to encourage invasive weeds. It also protects your lawn from scorching.

Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. Mowing wet grass can encourage mold and fungus and will quickly dull your lawn mower blades and chew up your lawn.

Change direction. Mow your lawn in a different direction with

each mowing, especially with lawns of shorter grass types. Altering the direction ensures a more even cut since grass blades will grow more erect and will be less likely to develop into a set pattern.

Don’t compensate by over cutting. Never mow more than one-third of the grass leaf at a time. If circumstances arise where a lawn gets too tall and you have to cut off a lot, do it in several mowings with three or more days between cuttings.

Be safe. Keep children and pets away. Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants, as well as eye protection. Never cut the lawn when it’s raining, lightening, or when grass is slippery. Do not push a lawn mower onto the pavement. The lawn keeps objects from being hurled at a high speed; there is no such protection on the pavement.

Do your homework. Determine your grass type and the best height for optimal health. Also, read the operating guide for your mower. Make sure you understand all of its safety features prior to use.

Hire a professional. When in doubt, hire a professional. They are trained to keep your lawn healthy, and they know how to safely operate equipment.

What is a fee only Fina ncia l Pla nner a nd Why Should I ca re?

Answer:

Your Fiduciary: as a registered Investment advisor Firm, it is required of us to always act as our clients fiduciary. This means always putting our clients best interests first. This is in contrast to that of a Broker/Dealer relationship, as Broker/Dealers are only required to make “suitable” recommendations versus always being required to make recommendations that are in your best interest. Transparent: Registered Investment advisor Firms are required to always fully disclose all fees and potential conflicts of interest to you, the client. Our clients know exactly how much they pay for our services in a clearly spelled out written agreement – again in stark contrast to traditional Broker/Dealer representative requirements on transparancy. Fee Only: as a registered Investment advisor Firm, we are compensated from fully disclosed fees, and accept no commissions or any other forms of third party compensation, thus eliminating any conflicts of interest. again, as a Registered Investment advisor Firm, we are always required to act in your best interest, and we can think of no better way than by refusing commissions and third party incentives for recommendations we make that create conflicts of interest.

In addition to all of the above, we are:

Syracuse, NY

Independent – We work for our clients, rather than representing a speciﬁc bank, investment or insurance company. We have no sales quotas, contests and accept no compensation from third parties, therefore we can offer our clients many, many more investment options at a much lower cost.

Master Suite Upgrades:

The Secret to a Speedier Home Sale (BPT) - All signs point to a hearty real estate market this summer. Experts say more inventory will be available and buyers will have an easier time getting mortgages, all of which means more competition among sellers.

If you plan to put your home on the market this spring or summer, you might be looking for the most cost-effective renovations to set your house apart from the competition. Assuming you've already taken care of the two top rooms to renovate - kitchen and bathroom - what's your next move?

Three words: master suite upgrades. Americans spend a lot of time in the bedroom. The master suite is, arguably, the area of the house where you most want to feel like the king or queen of your domain. After you've wowed potential buyers with a great kitchen and bathroom, a beautiful master suite could be the feature that seals the deal. A mid-range master suite addition recoups 67.5 percent of its cost at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report. Fortunately, you can create a big impact on a master suite with a modest remodeling budget.

The luxury of light and fresh air Many masters occupy the second floor, making them prime locations for an upgrade that is attention-grabbing, energy-efficient and practical, all without being costly: adding skylights. Natural light and fresh air can make a room feel larger, more open and more welcoming. Opening a wall to add a window is rarely practical, but skylights can bring natural light and improve air quality in a master with less fuss. If yours is on the first floor, tubular skylights, such as Sun Tunnels by skylight maker Velux America, can deliver 22

We b r i n g p e o p l e a n d h o m e s t o g e t h e r .

natural light into spots where a traditional skylight won't work. For your second-floor master, an ENERGY STAR-certified solarpowered, fresh-air skylight provides daylighting, privacy and more security than an open window (always a concern for a bedroom), as well as cost-effective passive ventilation. Add solarpowered blinds and skylight energy performance ratings improve by as much as 45 percent. Even better, the installation of solar-powered skylights and blinds, plus installation costs, can be eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit. Visit www.whyskylights.com to learn more. There's a skylight planner app there that will allow you to visualize skylights in your own home and to calculate your potential tax savings.

Little things mean a lot Often, sellers focus on big-picture issues and overlook the small details that win buyers' hearts. For example, while it's important to paint the walls a neutral, appealing color, don't forget to repaint baseboards, window trim, ceilings and inside closets, too - all significantly affect the overall look of a room. Even when you account for the extra time and paint needed for trim,

painting remains one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to freshen a room's appearance. Be sure to repaint the master bathroom in a color that complements the master bedroom. Add decadent but cost-effective touches like plush towels, a towel-warming rack and an upgraded shower head and faucets. Consider the shower door. Is it old and shabby-looking with glass that has become hazy? Replacing it is a simple, quick fix that will put a bright face on the shower stall. Swap out a straight shower curtain rod for a curved one that greatly increases the spaciousness of the shower area. Add light, airy curtains to make the room look bigger and brighter, luxurious bedding to impart a restful atmosphere, and you'll have created a master suite that's sure to be an asset when it's time to sell.
