Smart Home Solutions For Pet Owners No surprise here - Americans love their pets and are welcoming them into their homes in record numbers. What may come as a surprise, however, is that U.S. overall spending in the pet industry for the past year came in at $66.75 Billion. That’s Billion with a big, fat capital “B”.

Syracuse NY, Edition Publication Manager Account Executive Khale R. Davison, RMC 315-338-5692 khale@lifeandhomes.com

That number, according to American Pet Products Assoc., includes vet care, food, medications, grooming, yard services, beds, bowls and an unbelievable array of accessories. With all that pampering, what else could little Fluffy possibly need? How about Smart Home care for pets? Chances are you’re familiar with smart home technology that automatically brews your morning cup of coffee and gives you the ability to control everything from appliances to lights and security cameras from your phone or mobile device. Manufacturers are now cashing in by creating smart technologies for pet owners. “Plenty of owners travel or work long hours, so they use smart feeding devices to ensure proper access to food and portion control,” says Tierra Bonaldi of the American Pet Products Association. “Others use cameras, treat dispensers, and apps to communicate with their pet and better stay in touch to increase the human-animal bond.” Pet activity trackers let you use GPS to track your pets movements and monitor their walking distance, and automated dog and cat doors enable owners to to set a timer or automatically let pets in, out or both. Need something more? How about the “intelligent” pet drinking fountain from that automatically filters and dispenses the correct volume to keep the water fresh at all times, or the pet-oriented camera that allows you to interact so you can talk to your pet and let them know you love them when you have to stay late at the office.

Rookie Mistakes of Selling

Syracuse

$179,900

208 Alton St - Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in a great neighborhood in Syracuse. The main level of the home has a beautiful spacious kitchen, formal dining room, 2 spacious bedrooms with large walk in closets, all in a prime Syracuse area. There are 2 full kitchens, a full finished basement with 2nd kitchen, bedroom & full bath. Adjacent to Belleview Country Club. S1042910

Oneida

$239,900

110 Hunt Valley - Custom Built modern home in the “Heights”, the full finished basement with a bar and large living space is just one of the many features and benefits this dream home has to oﬀer. Take note of the hardwood floors, large bedrooms, gas fireplace, den & living room, and fully fenced in back yard. e new kitchen boasts granite countertops, and a slider to the awning covered deck and pool. s1053792

Augusta

$359,900

1956 Route 26 - Gorgeous 2 Story Colonial Home on 16 acres of land, 4 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 beautiful bathrooms, a huge modern open concept kitchen with granite counters & maple cabinetry and all the amenities a serious cook could ask for, with a formal dining room, and sitting room/family room with fireplace oﬀ the kitchen. S1020382

Rookie mistake No. 1. For Sale By owner. National Association of Realtors data shows year after year For Sale by Owners Sell for 15% less than sold for homes sold by Realtors. There are many reasons for this. Even nowadays with Zillow qualified buyers go to a Realtor because the realtor works for the buyer for Free! They usually don’t take buyers to FSBO’s. There are a lots of risks doing that plus usually there is enough inventory on the market to show the buyers before they would show them a FSBO. FSBO’s account for 10% of the sales a year. 5% of those are sold to a friend or relative. A FSBO seller gets only 10% exposure to buyer, and professional Realtors get 100% exposure to the QUALIFIED BUYERS. That why Realtors listings sell for 15% more money. Rookie mistake No. 2: Overpricing your home Many people overestimate the value of their home. For example, if a neighbor sells their house for $400,000, you might automatically assume that your house is worth at least that much money, but that’s not necessarily the case. Price is typically the reason why a house doesn’t sell. And the last thing you want to do is list too high right from the start, because it could cause your house to sit on the market which might require you to make a serious price reduction in order to sell it. If a home is on the market for more than four weeks, prospective buyers are going to assume that there is something wrong with it.

Adirondack Private Island

$160,000

7730 North Shore Rd - Adirondack Scenic 1/2/ acre Island home on Chase Lake at the edge of the Adirondack Park. 2 Bedrooms, full bath with incinerating toilet, kitchen/living room combination dining area, spacious living room with spectacular views of the lake and a pellet stove for frosty mornings. Comes with a strip of land and dock on the mainland. S1032543

Oneida Lake

$169,000

28 Louis Dr - Waterfront ranch style home on Oneida Lake, 50 feet waterfront for swimming and deep water for boat. The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, nice sized kitchen with an eating area, large living and enclosed porch with access to a spacious deck over looking the yard and water front. Outside the village of Cleveland and close to the Oneida County line. S1042199

Eatonbrook Lake

$176,000

2685 Eaton Brook Rd - Waterfront Ranch style home on an acre of land overlooking Eaton Brook Reservoir. 3 Bedrooms, 1 bath, on private road across from ‘forever wild’ private lands, lovely views, 75 ft. frontage, lake bottom is rock with clear water. Electricity come from Oneida Madison Electric Co-op. Close to Hamilton College, Colgate University. S1042355

Rookie mistake No. 3 : Not budging on price Even if the price is right, you might need to be flexible especially if you’re in a buyer’s market. So, if you receive an oﬀer that’s below list price, you should at least consider making a counteroﬀer. After all, receiving $3,000 or $7,000 less for your house than what you wanted is a small concession in the long term. Rookie mistake No. 4: Doing a lousy job of cleaning Let’s make this clear: Your home needs to be spotless. That might mean hiring a professional cleaner to do a deep and thorough cleaning of the entire place. You might want to consider renting a storage locker to make the process of cleaning out the garage, closets, and attic less onerous. But it will likely be worth it, because clutter distract buyers in a big way. Bonus: A clean house will also enable you to take great photographs for your listing.

Sylvan Beach

My job is to preserve your equality.

Rookie mistake No. 5: Leaving religious or political belongings in plain sight I saw a buyer turn down a home because the seller was a Red sox fan. It had a Red Sox carpet and man cave. The buyer suddenly didn’t like the home anymore! Says Ken. Rookie mistake No. 6: Lurking around at your own open house, or being present at showings This is a huge mistake for several reasons. If the buyer knows that the seller is there, they might feel uncomfortable asking the listing agent honest questions about the home, Buyers will not sit down and write an offer with you there. They might if you’re not there. If a buyer is hot for a house I will sit right down in the kitchen and write the offer there and then. Rookie mistake No. 7 Making it difficult for agents to show your home When selling your house, be prepared for little privacy. Translation: You’ll need to be flexible when buyers ask to see your home on short notice. To make it easy for buyer’s agents to show the property while you’re away. Use a Lockbox.

Rookie mistake No. 8: Leaving pets at home during showings Some people are simply scared of pets, (yes, even your cute little pug), or they might have allergies that will make them want to steer clear. So don’t just crate your dog or cat during showings; instead, take them with you or drop them oﬀ with a neighbor while buyers are viewing the house. And because pets, like humans, tend to accumulate lots of stuﬀ leashes, collars, toys, water bowls, and the like make sure you stow their paraphernalia in a cupboard or closet. And do a quick vacuum of pet hair, and an air freshener before you go!

Multiple Offers? What’s that!?

340 ROSEWOOD CIR • CANASTOTA • $349,900

504 STONE ST • ONEIDA • $70,000

Amazing custom built 3700 square foot home. Cherry 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home with private yard. This home kitchen, granted tops with wolf appliances, hard- has many updates, shows well and is priced to sell.

S1052578 bedrooms, 3 baths, dining room, entertainment room, the list goes on.100% money back guarantee program, restrictions apply. S1047735

So a new listing hits the market, you call your agent. You’re so excited, you know this is the house for you. You view it, you love it, you’re ready to write the offer. Your agent writes the offer and listing agent informs your agent there are multiple offers. UGH what happens now. So the listing agent tells your agent that you need to put your best offer forward and you have till noon on Friday. What this means is now how bad do you want the house, can you live without it, or if you lose are you okay with losing it. Now you have to decide how bad you want the house. You may only get one chance with your offer. Buyers think ‘well if i put in an offer they can always counter it.’ Not true on a multiple offer situation. in the offers they get, there may be one acceptable offer there and they accept that.

436 BROAD ST • ONEIDA • $154,900

Now you’re mad because they didn’t counter you or give you a second chance. This is when your agent tells you to put your best offer forward because someone is going to lose. if you need more explanation please give me a call, its a complicated position to be in.

Garage Door Safety Tips You probably put little thought into your garage door. You touch a button. The door opens, closes and you go about your day. While the garage door - the largest, heaviest moving object in your home - serves as the primary entry point of the home to many of us, it can also be dangerous if not used and maintained properly. Summer is a great time for all homeowners to review important safety tips. Many of these are highlighted in a new safety video at GarageDoorCare.com, a non-commercial website dedicated to helping homeowners understand how garage doors work. Here are a few tips to help keep your family safe: 1. Always keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Never touch a garage door or its components while the door is in motion. 2. Remotes and openers aren’t toys; however, the buttons may be very attractive to children. Take precautions to keep them out of little ones’ reach. 3. Children should not be able to reach wallmounted controls. Be sure to install push-button wall controls at least 5 feet off the ground. 4. Children and adults should never stand, run or play under a garage door. When a garage door is moving, be sure to stand at least several yards away. 5. Never try to enter or exit the garage by racing under a moving garage door. 6. When opening or closing the garage door, always keep the door in view until the door is 8

fully opened or fully closed. Make certain that no adults, children or animals try to enter or exit while the door is moving. 7. Homeowners can - and should - perform simple chores such as semi-annual lubrication of garage door hinges, rollers and springs. Other tasks like spring repair/replacement, track and roller repair/replacement and door installation are best left to trained service professionals to ensure the work is done properly and to avoid potential injuries.

Cool Deck Time Fun In The Summer Sun Getting outside on the deck or porch is an ideal way to relax and escape stifling indoor heat for many Americans. To make sure your outdoor living retreat is a cool oasis, consider these three tips to beat the heat: 1. Create stylish shade While an umbrella or a roll-up sunshade provides a fast and easy way to block direct sun, they can quickly fade or become a dingy eyesore. A stylish alternative is to cast refreshing shade with a gazebo or arbor. With either option, you also can create a lush and fragrant grotto using climbing vines such as roses, clematis, wisteria or honeysuckle. For a weekend do-it-yourself project, look for gazebo and arbor plans on popular social media sites like Pinterest or Houzz. If you prefer to have someone else do the work, many deck builders will complete the project for you without breaking the bank.

2. Spritz yourself with a mister Sunbelt residents and visitors are familiar with outdoor cooling misters installed at popular outdoor cafes, theme parks and other places people gather on hot days. Now, homeowners throughout the U.S. are installing these systems on their decks or porches. The ultrafine droplets of water created by these systems can cool the air as much as 35 degrees. In addition to providing cool and refreshing moisture on hot summer days, some manufacturers report the systems help repel flying insects and clear the air of smoke and pollen. Easy-to-install misters are available online or from your local home improvement store, starting at under $100. 3. Don’t forget the deck surface Many deck surfaces become uncomfortably hot in direct sun. The problem is especially acute for dark-colored deck boards, which absorb heat throughout the day, as well as some dense composite boards that hold heat. As a result, rather than a comfortable stroll to your favorite chair, you might end up hot-footing it across a scorching deck. An overly hot deck is especially problematic for young children and pets, whose feet are more heat sensitive. “Many people tell us they love the beauty and durability of their composite deck, but not the heat,” says Brent Gwatney, vice president of MoistureShield decking. His company has developed a solution they call CoolDeck(R) technology. The boards are engineered to absorb up to 35 percent less heat than other composites in similar colors, for a noticeably lower surface temperature in direct sun. Whether you’re building a new deck or upgrading an existing one, these three ways to beat the heat will provide you with a cool and relaxing outdoor spot to snooze, cook or entertain friends and family, even on the hottest summer days.

Flip Your Fridge And Save Is it time to “Flip Your Fridge”? If your refrigerator is 15 years old or older, replacing it with a new ENERGY STAR®certified model can save you more than $270 over the next five years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, if all refrigerators 15 years old or older in the United States were replaced with new ENERGY STAR certified models, Americans would save more than $1 billion in annual energy costs. There are an estimated 170 million refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers currently in use in the United States. More than 60 million are over 10 years old, costing consumers $4.4 billion per year in energy. A new refrigerator that has earned the ENERGY STAR uses less energy than two 60-watt lightbulbs and includes energy-saving features that provide performance benefits, such as: • Quieter, high-efficiency compressors that create less heat; • Improved insulation in doors and exterior walls to help food stay cold and muffle noise; • More precise temperature and defrost mechanisms that help the refrigerator operate more efficiently; • Innovative drawer designs and improved temperature controls to keep food fresher, longer. It’s better to replace your old refrigerator rather than hang on to it. Keeping a second refrigerator in your basement or garage could be costing you $110 every year! Make sure to properly recycle your old refrigerator to prevent the release of refrigerants and foams. Certain utilities offer rebates you can apply to the cost of an ENERGY STAR certified refrigerator or toward properly recycling your old refrigerator. 20

Does Your Dog Bite? Dog bites and other dog-related injuries accounted for more than one-third of all homeowners liability claim dollars paid out last year, costing in excess of $600 million, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) and State Farm®. The state with the highest average cost per claim was New York, at a whopping $55,671 per claim. The trend in higher costs per claim is attributable not only to dog bites but also to dogs knocking down children, cyclists, the elderly, etc., which can result in injuries that impact the potential severity of the losses. Even dogs that are normally docile may bite when they are frightened or when defending their puppies, owners or food. According to I.I.I., dog owners are liable for any injuries their pets cause: if the owner knew the dog had a tendency to cause that kind of injury; if a state statute makes the owner liable, whether or not the owner knew the dog had a tendency to cause that kind of injury; or if the injury was caused by unreasonable carelessness on the part of the owner. Homeowners and renters insurance policies typically cover dog bite liability. Most policies provide $100,000 to $300,000 in liability coverage. If the claim exceeds the limit, the dog owner is personally responsible for all damages above that amount, including legal expenses. Once a dog has bitten someone, it poses an increased risk and the insurance company may charge a higher premium or exclude the dog from coverage altogether. Some companies will require dog owners to sign liability waivers for dog bites. Some will cover a pet if the owner takes the dog to classes aimed at modifying its behavior.

A single lawsuit - even if won - can end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The personal liability coverage available through a standard homeowners or automobile policy simply may not be enough, so, advises I.I.I., you may want to consider purchasing a personal excess liability policy. “The family veterinarian should be the first stop for any pet owner with behavioral concerns, said Dr. Melissa Bain, AVMA member and specialist in animal behavior. “They can advise you as to whether there is a medical component for which medication may be an appropriate element of an integrated treatment program; and whether or not a referral to a behavior specialist is warranted.” Ultimately, the responsibility for properly training and controlling a dog rests with the owner. (I.I.I.org)

And Now You Know Your garbage disposal plays an important role in your kitchen but it isn’t a catchall. Many foods can damage a garbage disposal and clog your drains so be especially mindful when preparing food for summer parties and cookouts. Avoid putting artichokes, asparagus, avocado pits, bones, carrots, celery, corn husks, egg shells, grease, lettuce, onion skins, and potato peels in your disposal. In addition, pasta, rice, and other foods that expand with water can quickly clog a home’s pipes. Don’t use hot water when grinding food waste, advise the experts. Instead, turn the water on to drain the disposal in between grinding periods. And here’s one for you die-hard coffee lovers. Coffee grounds should never be put into your disposal. While they appear to process, they actually tend to pile up and cause a sediment-like mess in your drain. That home warranty you’re depending on may or not cover the repairs on your garbage disposal so your best bet is to treat it with care. And now you know.

Long days and moonlit nights may be causing you to daydream about travel. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a month-long extravaganza, summer is full of opportunity for you. But what about your empty house while you’re away?

Unfortunately summer months are also peak periods for home burglaries. Seasonal patterns exist in household burglary rates, according the U.S. Department of Justice, with these crimes happening more frequently in the summer than during other seasons of the year because people are traveling more and are away from their homes.

ability to have emergency responders dispatched to their homes in the event of a security, smoke, carbon monoxide or panic alarm, with no long-term contract required. Whether you’re at work or across the country, you can rest easy knowing someone will respond quickly to any home emergency.

Step 3: Rid your property of hiding spots and easy points of entry Homes with lots of overgrowth and natural coverage provide hiding spots that make break-ins simpler. That means now is the time to trim bushes, hedges and trees, especially around entrance points in the home.

Planning your next weekend at the cabin doesn’t have to involve worry about a break-in back home. Give yourself peace of mind no matter where you are by taking a few proactive steps to protect your home today.

Step 2: Avoid signs that show your home is vacant An empty home is an easy target for break-ins. It can be pretty obvious when homeowners are away, especially if they’ve been gone for a while. But with a mix of simple steps and effective technology, you can give your house a “lived-in” feel, even when you’re miles away.

Next, look for vulnerable areas of your house. For example, the garage door may be easier to open than you think. Consider using a C-clamp on garage doors while gone or integrating a smart garage controller so you can keep tabs on whether it’s opened or closed from your smartphone.

Step 1: A smart home is a secure home Law enforcement agencies agree that one of the best ways to protect a home is with a security system. Something as simple as a sign noting an alarm system is onsite can be enough to deter a potential theft. Closing and locking all doors (including dead bolts) and then setting an alarm dramatically decreases burglary odds. Smart home technology is creating greater innovation in home security, with systems like Iris by Lowe’s allowing homeowners to create a do-it-yourself, tailored system that’s not only convenient but effective security. This affordable system features more than 100 compatible devices that include security cameras, motion sensors, smart locks, adjustable light bulbs, connected thermostats, smoke alarms and more. For an even more secure home, Iris now offers professional home monitoring for less than $15 a month. The service gives homeowners the

Stop your mail and newspaper delivery when traveling, or ask a neighbor to gather these items for you so they don’t accumulate on your property. Have someone come and tidy your yard and water plants so everything appears tended to. Use your Iris smart home system to set lights to turn on and off throughout the day. You may even ask a neighbor to periodically park in your driveway to give the impression people are coming and going. Keep in mind social media has become a rich resource for criminals. Keep profile settings to private and never post photos or other messages on social media about your vacation while still away. Travel posts are like news alerts that your home is empty. It’s best to wait until you return before sharing those precious images with friends and family.

Windows are another common way for burglars to enter a home. Hot summer months often mean cracked windows, so double check all are closed and locked. With a smart home system like Iris, you can even check on this remotely and get notified if a window is opened or broken. If you have a window air conditioning unit, you may want to install window frame locks to prevent a criminal from pushing out the unit and entering the home. Summer should be a time of relaxation instead of worry. These steps can help you be smart about securing your home so you can actually enjoy that vacation.
