BE SMART about SMART HOME SAFETY Smart home technology has made our daily lives easier and more automated, but it also opened the virtual door to intruders and hackers. As smart home technology grows, so do the risks of being hacked, which can stop some customers from adopting these amazing technologies for their homes. There have been some scary stories lately of hackers tapping into security cameras and other technology, but with the proper precautions, you will make your home incredibly safe from hackers.
Keep your smart home safe with these tips USE STRONG PASSWORDS We’ve all heard it countless times, but having a strong password really is the first step against hackers and is enough to keep most out of your devices. However, many people prioritize creating passwords that are easy to remember (or that don’t change) over their home’s security. The best passwords are a combination of capital and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Longer, “pass phrases” or sentences also work well. As a rule of thumb, change your passwords every time you add a new device to the network, or at least every few months.
UPDATE APPS AND FIRMWARE Most people generally remember to update their smartphone apps but updating the apps and firmware in smart devices around the house can be a different story. Just like mobile apps, smart devices are constantly being updated and often come out with updates to increase performance, remove bugs, or improve safety. Using an old version of a device’s firmware makes it easier for hackers to attack because the firmware is vulnerable and not running at its full potential.
BE SELECTIVE WITH SMART HOME DEVICES
WATCH THE WI-FI NETWORK
The growth of smart home technology means that not every product is created equally. Before bringing something into your home that could put your privacy and safety at risk, be sure to do your research. In general, use products from brands you are familiar with—bigger brands typically have more updates and better customer service just in case hacking does occur.
Putting smart home devices on a public wireless internet network makes them much easier to hack and makes them more visible to hackers. Instead, opt for a private home network that has a strong password and network protection. To be even safer, security experts recommend putting your smart home devices on a separate wireless network from your home computer, which greatly reduces the risk of hacking across devices.
TURN OFF UNUSED DEVICES It can be tempting to always leave every device plugged in and turned on, but that just gives hackers more opportunities to find a way in. Powering down your router or smart home devices that don’t need to be on all the time, can keep your network more secure.
Smart home devices are powerful tools, but by following these tips, you’ll increase their safely and help keep digital intruders out of your home.
WANT YOUR HOME SOLD QUICKLY? TRY THESE IDEAS When you’re ready to put your house on the market, you’ll obviously need a great realtor. But there are plenty of things you can do to boost your home’s appeal to sell it faster. Don’t wait around for months to get an offer. Be proactive and try some of these tips to sell your home quickly at top dollar. One great way to get your current home sold quickly is to stage it. Via home staging, you normally hire someone who will help improve the flow of your home, eliminate clutter, and make your home appear bigger and brighter. But you can also incorporate some of those same techniques in lieu of investing in a professional.
Depersonalize
Give Your Yard Attention
A cousin to decluttering, depersonalizing important as well. Think like a buyer. They want to imagine what the home will look like when they live there. Put away all the dog toys and kids’ clothes. And limit family photos on the walls and on the fridge.
Cleaning up your yard and making it look welcoming will do two things for sellers: attract more eyes and make your home look better. A beautiful yard that is well landscaped and free of weeds will attract more potential buyers. Boosting curb appeal adds value to your home. Improvements will give you a greater return on investment. Fixing siding, adding stone walkways or outdoor lighting, upgrading a mailbox, or adding outdoor furniture to a front porch will go a long way.
Clean and Declutter Now is the time to channel your inner neat freak. A potential buyer wants to see your home as move in ready when they view it. A spotless kitchen and shining bathroom fixtures go a long way to impressing a potential buyer. After all, who wants to see junk mail sitting on a kitchen counter or dried toothpaste in a kitchen sink? Convey to the buyer that your home is so clean that they could move in right away – that’s what you’re going for after all! Secondly, remove anything from your home you don’t use daily. Donate items or put them in storage. Don’t just shove off-season clothes or decorations into closets or other storage space. A buyer wants to see all the places they can store their things, they don’t want to see a closet stuffed to the gills with your flannel shirts or Christmas decorations.
Paint Buyers want to see a fresh, clean space when they visit your home. By painting inside and out, you have the chance to apply a neutral tone throughout the home. A new coat means no fingerprints or smudges on the walls.
And finally, if you want to sell your home quickly, price it smartly. Don’t set your asking price too high – look at comparable homes and try to find a price that will make you and a potential buyer happy to move quickly.

Ahh, owning a pool means endless summer swims, tiki cocktails, children who are consistently entertained...and work. Lots and lots of work. As any pool owner will tell you, those glorious turquoise swimming holes come with a ton of responsibility. The truth is, pools require regular upkeep and maintenance, like weekly vacuuming, pH testing, and filter inspections. But once you understand the cost of owning the pool, and how to care for it, you’ll avoid the common mistakes that make pool ownership a drag. So keep up the fun in the sun this summer with these tips:
KNOW YOUR CHEMICALS. Under-maintained pools aren’t only gross to look at, they can also contain dangerous bacteria. The flip side, however, of over chlorinating can cause swimming pool rash and eye irritation. You don’t have to be a chemistry major to figure it out though. Just use chlorine and pH testing strips to check pool chemical levels at least once a week.
LEARN TO USE YOUR POOL VACUUM. How often you need to vacuum depends on how often you skim the pool. Leaves and junk on the surface will eventually sink to the bottom. That’s where vacuums come in. From automated robotic cleaners to handheld systems, a vacuum is a key ingredient to a healthy pool.
CHECK YOUR WATER LEVEL. Everyday play can cause major fluctuations in your pool water levels. The proper water level is halfway up the skimmer line. If your water levels get too low it can ruin your pool’s pump. All you have to do is grab a hose, fill it up, and check the chemical level.
PRACTICE QUICK POOL CLEANING. Pool cleaning is just like house cleaning – doing a few chores every day can prevent a major mess at the end of the week. One of the easiest and most important maintenance chores is skimming the top of the pool every day for leaves, sticks, dead bugs and other debris. It also helps circulate the water, and keeps you from having to add chlorine too often. Make sure to clean out the strainer basket and scrub the side of the pool with a brush or pumice stone about once a week to prevent algae buildup. It’s pretty easy to maintain a pool properly, but if you don’t have the time, call in the pros. A pool involves a lot of tedious upkeep, but by doing a little work on your pool every day can make pool ownership easier for you and will keep your pool in better shape for longer. And consistent pool maintenance will allow you to have some fun in the sun, no maintenance
DESIGNING THE
P E R F EC T
OUTDOOR KITCHEN
Spring is right around the corner, so now is a perfect time to start planning the outdoor kitchen you’ve always dreamed of. If you love cooking and entertaining outdoors, you’re in luck. With these following tips and the help from your local outdoor design company, your outdoor kitchen will be in full swing by summer. START FROM THE GROUND UP
A show-stopping outdoor kitchen needs a quality stage that can stand up to heavy foot traffic and everyday kitchen mishaps such as dropped utensils or spilled sauces. High-performance, wood-alternative decking is durable and easy-to-maintain – just a simple soap and water cleaning can take care of any common party foul. It delivers the natural aesthetic of wood without the back-breaking and time-consuming upkeep, so outdoor chefs can focus on what they love most – preparing delicious meals.
FACTOR IN FUNCTION
Plan for adequate storage to eliminate back-and-forth trips inside your house. From pull-out trash bins to hidden ice chests for chilled drinks, find cabinetry that provides indoor convenience outside. You can even get customized cabinets for televisions and entertainment systems.
SHINE SOME LIGHT
Double the time spent enjoying your outdoor kitchen by installing adequate lighting for cooking and entertaining well after sundown. For safety measures, put task lighting over countertops used for slicing and dicing, as well as near stovetops and other appliances that use heat or flame. To set an understated, sophisticated mood, add ambient lighting where your family and guests will wine and dine.
THINK BEYOND THE GRILL
While outdoor cooking once meant a basic grill and a bag of charcoal, today’s outdoor kitchens are more elaborate and equipped than ever, featuring a range of appliances including professional-grade cooktops, refrigerators, sinks and dishwashers, as well as specialty features like brick ovens and fully stocked bars. Grills, too, have been upgraded to handle more than steaks and burgers – think whole turkeys, smoked meats and rotisseries. Your appliances will determine the outdoor kitchen dimensions, so consider how the appliances you want will fit within your design.
CREATE COMFORT
To welcome and accommodate your guests, your outdoor kitchen should be inviting and have ample seating and bar areas. For added comfort, integrate interior-inspired accents like decorative cushions and pillows made of weatherresistant materials. Additionally, your outdoor kitchen should incorporate enough counter space not only for food prep and serving, but also for creating a communal environment so guests can chat with the chef. By working with the professionals and using these tips for inspiration, you’ll be hosting an awesome outside soirée as soon as the weather turns warm.

5 TOP MARKETING TIPS FROM TOP AGENTS 1. GOOD PHOT OGRAP HY In most instances, buyers see photos of your home before they see your home in person. Take well-lit, HD photos to spark the most interest in your home.
2. DON’T RELY SOLELY ON THE WEB TO SELL YOUR HOME Lots of people shop on the web for homes, and there are lots of homes on the web. Stats say that 65 million shop for homes in the U.S. every month. However, only 5 million homes are sold in the U.S. every year. It’s a very crowded space, and your home should be on as many sites as possible. Make sure your agent also takes advantage of targeted print when advertising your home. More on this later...
3. MAKE SURE YOUR AGENT INCLUDES MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR MARKETING PLAN Today, we rely on our phones to look up everything, including real estate. Your home should have a marketing plan that includes mobile tools as a significant element. For example, your home should have a yard sign with a text code on it so that potential buyers driving by can look it up on their phone right away.
Put simply, don’t wait around for homebuyers to find you. Get out there and find them through advertising—both online and offline.
17M012B-033017
4. MARKET YOUR HOME OFFLINE—LOCALLY Good agents know where potential buyers of your home live, work, shop and play. They use local real estate publications, targeted direct mail, brochures, and other tools to ensure your home gets in front of local home buyers.
5. KEEP YOUR HOME LOOKING GOOD Part of the marketing plan for your home is in your court. This includes how potential buyers perceive it when they walk through the door. Living in a home and keeping it ready to show is a challenge, but it will pay off when buyers find your home more attractive than others they may be considering.

GOING FROM TENANT TO HOMEOWNER: W H AT T O K N O W You’ve been saving for a while, and you’re finally ready to move out of your apartment and take the leap to home ownership. Becoming a first-time homeowner is both an exciting and a stressful process, but the payoff is well worth it once all the papers are signed and the keys are in your hands. Be sure to read on for some useful tips for preparing for home ownership and what to expect once you move in.
Chances are, you’ve been renting from a landlord who was on the hook for minor repairs and major upgrades, not to mention yardwork and a lot of other upkeep. Now, all those tasks fall on you. SET SOME MONEY ASIDE
STAY ON TOP OF MAINTENANCE
A good rule of thumb is to set aside one percent of your home’s purchase price per year for maintenance. So, if for example, your home cost $300,000, you should put aside $3,000, or about $250 a month, for home repairs. If you’re buying a new construction home, you shouldn’t have major repairs right away and you’ll likely have a new home warranty covering any maintenance costs. By saving this money now, particularly if you’re moving into an existing home, you won’t have any surprises if a hot water heater breaks or if you need a new roof down the line.
This doesn’t just mean keeping up with yard work and cleaning, even though they’re important. You’ll want to do an annual survey of your major appliances and know what they look like when working properly. Keep your eye on the roof or visible pipes as well – catching a problem early is key to preventing expensive repairs. Keep the name of trusted plumbers, HVAC repairmen, and electricians just in case.
INSPECT BEFORE YOU BUY A proper inspection of your new home will alert you to problems that already exist. There shouldn’t be any issues in a new construction home, and, if anything, only minimal issues in an existing home, but an inspection can ensure that everything is installed properly or that you can negotiate with the seller for any minor repairs to be incorporated into the purchase price.
GET A HOLD OF YOUR FINANCES Finally, another major difference between renting and owning is the status of your finances. The first year you own a home, your taxes will become much more complex – so this might be the year you turn to a tax professional (if you don’t already do so). Second, start to budget. Chances are, you’re going to need to fill up your additional square footage with new furniture or electronics. Other things like lawn mowers, grills, and other seasonal products will be needed too, so make sure to comparison shop at the right time for a great deal.
