for Summer

Enjoyment

ow that warm weather has returned, it’s time to safely begin the annual cleanup to prepare your yard for months of summer enjoyment. With the help of a professional landscaper, your yard will be ready and looking great in no time. Start by evaluating your lawn. Look for bald spots where grass has grown sparsely and needs reseeding, or uneven areas that may need to be ﬁlled and leveled. Before you take steps to correct any problems, you'll need a clean slate. Call your landscaper to help you clear the yard of any leaves, rocks or sticks that may have accumulated. Then cut the grass as short as possible. Your landscaper will then break up the soil in bare spots to create an environment that will be hospitable to new seed. Lawn soil will then be added to level the surface. An herbicide will also need to be applied to treat weed-infested areas. Allow the weed killer to work for about a week then rake again to remove dead weeds. Then you're ready to over-seed or spot seed, depending on your lawn's needs. Your climate will determine the best grass varieties for your yard, and your landscaper will help you lay down the appropriate sod or seed. Be sure to also select a fertilizer that is consis-

tent with your grass type and water thoroughly to promote deep root growth, which can help your lawn withstand extreme conditions as temperatures rise. Your lawn isn't the only part of your yard that needs attention though. Your garden and ﬂower beds may need some care before they, too, are ready to burst with new bounty and color. Begin by clearing your garden and beds of any debris like leaves and other matter that piled up during months of neglect. Gently turn the soil and work in fresh fertilizer. Before you get your landscaper to plant new shrubs and ﬂowers, it is the ideal time to make repairs. Check edging for any damage, replace rotted woodwork and complete any other maintenance tasks. This is also a great time to explore and add new landscaping features, such as a retaining wall, pond, or stone pathway. Your landscaper will help you choose the features that will go best with your home. By getting some of your lawn and garden care taken care of now, you will be able to take full advantage of sunny summer days outside. So reach out to your local lawn service or landscaper today!

Is Your Bedroom Designed for Sleep? S

ounds like a dumb question, right? However, in reality, the reason you might not be sleeping as well as you should might have a lot to do with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in your bedroom.

According to the Better Sleep Council (BSC), the nonprofit consumer-education arm of the International Sleep Products Association, getting adequate sleep can positively impact every area of your life, from your productivity on the job, to your eating habits and fitness goals, to your relationships. In fact, a recent survey from the BSC suggests that getting more sleep may be the key ingredient to keeping Americans on track for meeting their 2018 goalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;27 percent chose getting more/better sleep as a resolution for the year, and those respondents also reported other health-related goals, such as exercising more (69 percent) and staying fit and healthy (68 percent). Also, Americans surveyed who wanted to prioritize sleep in 2018 planned to do so by getting to bed earlier (65 percent), maintaining a consistent bedtime (62 percent), and having new nighttime routines (53 percent). Almost half of those surveyed said they also plan to upgrade their sleep environment by purchasing a new mattress or other bed-related items.

The BSC offers these other suggestions for improving your sleep habits:

Consider your window treatments. If you’ve committed to getting to bed early, keep your window treatments sheer. Natural light filtering in as the sun rises will help wake your body naturally—the perfect way to start your day. Installing sky lights can also provide wakeful sunlight. However, if you can’t seem to ditch the night-owl habit, room darkening curtains or shades may be necessary to ensure you get the extra hour or two you need in the morning.

Adjust the lights. For each lamp in your bedroom, decide what purpose it will have and choose a light bulb with appropriate wattage. For example, a bright light may be necessary near a mirror or for a standing lamp. For bedside lamps, lower wattages (45 to 50 watts) offer ambient light or gentle light that are best for reading. Lampshades can help dim lights as well. Installing a dimmer switch will allow you to control the brightness of all the lights in your room as you need it. This is especially useful with overhead lights.

Ditch the distractions. Avoid the distraction of social media and emails by setting your phone to automatically go into Do Not Disturb mode during

sleep hours, and leaving your tablet and laptop in another room altogether. While you’re at, do you really need a TV in your bedroom? Opt for a pile of books on your nightstand as reading relaxes the mind and helps induce sleep, while screens keep your brain wired. Spruce up your bedroom décor as well by replacing your TV stand with a nice bookcase or chair and ottoman for reading.

Analyze your bed. Consider whether it’s time for a new mattress. If you’re waking up a lot during the night to shift positions, it could be due to a mattress that’s not supporting you properly. Same for your pillows. Are they too soft, too firm, or just right? Also make sure your sheets, blankets and comforter offer the perfect balance of softness and warmth without making you overheated.

Keep it cool, even in the cooler weather. A comfortable sleeping temperature is between 65 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit, so turn on an air conditioner or lower the thermostat before bed for an optimal sleeping climate. If cracking open a window gets you to that temperature range, all the better, as fresh air makes for even healthier sleep. And when the temperature is cooler at night, it has the added bonus of helping you save money on running the AC.

Make daily sleep appointments. Develop a routine in which you go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. Sticking to these appointments will help you in all of your other routines and scheduling as well. As you work on perfecting your nighttime sleep routine, remember that it’s not a bad idea to catch a power nap during the day if and when you can. A quick 20-minute snooze can work wonders and actually help you sleep better at night. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2018. All rights reserved.

6 WAYS

to Get Ready to Sell Your Home This Summer

Summer has long been one of the best and most popular seasons for selling a home. If you’re ready to put your home on the market, follow these steps to make sure you’re in prime showing shape for the summer selling season.

1. Find a real estate agent. Use this time to interview several agents and make the right selection. Choose an agent with excellent local market expertise, technology savvy, and negotiating skills. The relationship you have with your agent is important, so be sure to select someone you connect with and communicate well with. 2. Make necessary repairs. If your real estate agent advises that certain repairs be done prior to listing your home, take the time to contact the appropriate contractors or service providers to help make the repairs. Make them before you list your house, as they will likely affect the price at which you can list your home. 3. Have a painting party. There’s likely more than one room in your home that will need to be painted before it hits the market. Stick to neutral colors that help to tone down a space, as bold colors can reduce offers. Spend the next few weekends accomplishing the task. 4. Pack up. Now is the perfect time to start packing up unnecessary items. Not only will this give you a head start on your eventual move, it will declutter your home for optimal showing purposes. 5. Stage your home. Staging helps to focus on your home's strengths, downplay any weaknesses and appeal to the largest pool of prospective buyers. Move furniture around for better flow, which makes rooms seem larger. Use brighter light bulbs in lamps and fixtures to add more light and open up windows. Spruce up the kitchen cabinets with a coat of paint or at least new hardware. 6. Plan a photo shoot. Once the essential cosmetic changes have been made, talk to your real estate agent about the best time to photograph and film your house. Make sure your surrounding property is camera-ready too. Gather photos of your garden in full bloom and your pool or patio under the bright sun so that your agent can add them to the listing.

Your trusted real estate agent will have other directives based on the specifics of your home and its location. Be sure to heed their advice as they know what it takes to get a home sold.

Closing Escrow: Funding & Recording BY B A R B A R A P RO N I N

Few days are more gratifying for homebuyers – and their agents – than closing day, when the last of the paperwork has passed muster and the keys to the house change hands. But while the sentiments are the same no matter where you live, the process itself may be different. Unlike the ‘settlement’ system in some states, for example, California defines ‘closing’ not as the date when borrowers sign the final loan documents, but as the date and time the deed is recorded. A consummation date recognizes the date the borrower becomes legally obligated to the loan – and a Closing Disclosure statement is given to said borrower at least three days before they are scheduled to sign loan documents. While at this point, the borrowers no longer have the right to rescind

the purchase agreement, they may take up to three additional days to review and approve the terms and costs of the loan – and/or to rescind the loan if any of the terms have changed. In most cases, three days after delivery of the Closing Disclosure, the loan documents are, in fact, signed. Still, the closing process itself unfolds in three very separate steps: Signing the date when loan documents are signed and notarized Funding the date the lender releases funds to the escrow company Recording this is the date – the true ‘closing of escrow,’ when the deed and any other recordable documents are recorded with the County

Only after the escrow company receives confirmation from the title company that the documents have been recorded does the escrow officer verify all the charges and issue net proceeds to the seller and distribute funds to any appropriate parties. In other words, the moment the Grant Deed is time-stamped by the County Clerk is the moment the property actually changes hands – and only then may the new owners receive the keys. In California, as elsewhere, the pathway to that happy moment – including a thorough title search – can be complicated. As your escrow partner, we are committed to making it as straightforward and trouble-free as possible.

How to Get Approved for a Home Improvement Loan By Jason Caruso

hether you're building an addition, completely remodeling or just finishing your basement, a home improvement loan can help add value and comfort to your home. There are a variety of loan options available that we detail later in this article, but before you explore those, there are four steps you should take to ensure that you'll get the money you need: Understand Your Credit History With any type of loan, a higher credit score will give you better terms for your loan. But if you have a low credit score, that doesn't mean a home improvement loan is out of reach. There are government loans, private lenders and co-signing opportunities that may be available to you. 1

Evaluate Your Equity Home improvement loans are largely dependent on the homeowner's equity, since this becomes collateral for the loan. 2

Even if you have a decent amount of equity, you will need to prove that you're capable of paying your debts plus the added debt of the home renovation loan. The final terms of your loan agreement will be determined by your ability to pay back the loan on time. Get an Appraisal The lender needs to know the overall value of your home before agreeing to certain loan terms. Not every lender will require an appraisal of your home, but it helps to be prepared in case it's requested. 3

Estimate Your Project Cost Before you apply for a loan, you should establish a baseline of estimates from professional contractors to determine how much your home improvement project could potentially cost. This will give you a good idea of how much you'll need to borrow. Seeking out contractors for estimates will prepare you for what your project could entail. For example, you might be unaware that there's mold in your walls which is something you'll definitely need to take care of—and this will add to the amount you'll need to borrow. 4

While you're figuring out the cost of your project, be sure to request estimates from several contractors so you can shop around for the best price. What Are Your Home Improvement Loan Options?

After you've completed the above four steps, you'll be ready to look into your loan options: Home Equity Line of Credit With a home equity line of credit, you're able to withdraw money as you need it during a time limit that the lender has specified. Much like a credit card, as you pay some of the balance off, your credit will revolve and you can start to withdraw again.

This line of credit can have fluctuating rates that can be higher than the rate you'd get on a fixed-rate loan, making them more risky. But there is more flexibility with a home equity line of credit than a fixed-rate loan. Home Construction Loans When it comes to home construction loans, lenders need to place a lot of trust in the builder, meaning they are usually very cautious about giving out these loans. If things go wrong, the lender could quickly realize they've made a bad investment. Because of the risk for the lender, there are precise qualifications for this type of loan, including: » Proof of good credit and financial health » A comprehensive list of project details (floor plans, materials, etc.) » An estimated home value from an appraiser » A large down payment—usually 20-25 percent » Working with a builder that's approved by the lender Home Equity Loans A borrower uses the equity of their home as collateral under a home equity loan. The value of your property will need to be determined by a licensed appraiser, and this will determine the loan amount you are eligible to receive. Usually this requires good credit and can end up being more costly than other loan options since additional fees associated with the appraisal, originator, title and closing process can come up. FHA 203(k) Loans The federal government backs FHA 203(k) loans, which were established with the intention of revitalizing struggling neighborhoods. Under this loan, borrowers can purchase a property with the cost of repairs and upgrades included. The required down payment is as low as 3.5 percent in most instances. Make sure to follow the above steps and do your research on loan types as you're planning to renovate your home!

THE EIGHT BEST REASONS TO USE A PROFESSIONAL PEST CONTROL COMPANY Many people consider themselves "do it yourselfers" and with all the information available online, it makes sense that many household projects can be undertaken by a layman or weekend hobbyist. When dealing with pest control issues, however, it may be a better idea to let a pro handle it instead of just buying some poison and going to town. Here are the best reasons to use a professional pest control company when you have a pest problem in your home:

1. DISCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Generally, the more services you purchase from your exterminator the more you save per service. As a result, each service becomes cheaper.

2. REFERRAL DISCOUNTS

Many pest control companies offer discounts to clients who successfully refer them to their friends. This is a way to get money back for a service you have already purchased.

3. EXCLUSION SERVICES

Once your exterminator has identified the causes of your pest issues, he/she can either perform the corrections to the structure or recommend someone who can. By changing these

conditions, pests are less likely to return.

4. PREVENTION

our pest control company is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ways to prevent pests. They will assist you with information on what you can do to prevent termites, ants, roaches and more.

5. IDENTIFICATION

Not sure which pest is bothering you? Your exterminating company will be able to get an ID of the pest, even if you are not covered for that pest. Maybe you have a mysterious bite; again the pest control company can help.

6. FORMULATING A PLAN

A professional exterminator understands the needs of your home or business. So he/she will formulate a planned approach to the implementation of service to aide in eliminating and reducing a pest invasion.

7. RISK

Using pest control products comes with a risk to your health, the health of your family and the environment. Pest Control companies are not only trained to use pesticides safely, they are also regulated by state and national laws that help protect non target animals from exposure to the insecticides.

8. COST

The purchase price for an insecticide is generally cheaper for a professional exterminator since they are able to purchase their products at a wholesale price and in bulk. More importantly, they will use the right product for the pest that is infesting your home or business. Knowing the insect and the correct product to use is half the battle. Ants are not just ants, for example. Different species of ants may require a different type of product and application. You as the property owner may not be able to properly identify the pest; hence, spending more money on products in an attempt to correct your pest issue.
