THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CHOOSING AND WORKING WITH MOVERS Summer is right around the corner, which means many people will be moving. Some people choose to move themselves, but that can be physically and mentally exhausting and not always worth the savings. Using professional movers often makes a lot of sense. But how do you make sure you’re using a good one? Here are some tips to get started.
Look at publicly available information. All interstate movers are required to be both licensed and registered with the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That site will also have complaint reports for registered movers. Your local Better Business Bureau also tracks complaints. Get an Estimate. You need an estimate based on a walk-through. If the mover refuses to do so or insists that you sign a contract (or make a deposit) before doing so, find someone else. Make sure they’re insured. If they’re not, don’t work with them. Federal law requires interstate movers to offer liability coverage for any damage to your property at no cost. However, the baseline coverage is 60 cents per pound per item, regardless of the item’s value. Most movers also offer additional coverage for a fee, which you should consider after reviewing the terms. Before declining such additional coverage, think of how much your items are worth, and if 60 cents per pound is enough to make it right if something happens. Ask Questions Up Front. What is the hourly rate? Is that per-person or for a whole team? If it’s perperson, see how many movers will be present. What other costs (fuel, packing materials, etc.) will you be charged, and at what rates. You can save some money by packing yourself, but the pros can do it faster and more
efficiently. Regardless, make sure to get quotes from multiple companies. Look at the Paperwork. Look at the bill of lading, which outlines everything being moved, the origin and destination, and costs. It’s your receipt, so review it closely, make sure it’s correct and keep a copy! Movers are also required to provide you with a copy of a pamphlet titled “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move”. Make sure you get and read it. Supervise.
Make sure you or someone you trust is there to oversee the whole process. You can help direct the movers and point to which room boxes and big items belong. Also, if a problem arises, you’re there to bear witness and assist.
Storage. If you can’t move directly from one place to another, many movers will offer to store your stuff. See how much it will cost for the space as well as moving into and out of that space. Gratuity. While not required, it’s nice to tip your movers for good service. While supervising the move, bring some cold waters or sports drinks to offer the movers. Kindness goes a long way!
By following these tips and doing your due diligence on your local moving companies, you’ll find the perfect mover for you.
SPACE-SAVING STORAGE HACKS FOR YOUR GARAGE All of us could probably use more storage, and its tempting to turn to your garage when you’re in need. But far too often, once people start using their garage for storage, the less it’s used for its real purpose – storing your vehicles. The last thing you want is to not have enough room to park, so if you’re looking to organize and store items in your garage, you need to develop a plan. Here are some garage storage hacks that will allow you to maximize space while keeping everything in order:
Install garage shelving. Installing shelving is one of the easiest ways to store a large number of items in your garage. The good news is that shelving systems are easy find and to assemble. A good shelving organization tip is to put the heaviest items on the bottom. This will lower the center of gravity of the shelf. Also, you’ll be able to easily access the heaviest items.
Use peg boards. If you’re looking to store your bicycles or other heavy items, you can use peg boards. First, install the pegboard on your garage wall. From there, you can install racks, hooks and even shelves that will allow you to hang any number of items.
Utilize storage bins. If you want some flexibility, then you will want to get plastic storage bins. You’ll be able to store large and small items in these bins. Also, you will be able to store these bins in several different ways.
Mount cabinets on the wall. With wall mounted storage cabinets, you’ll be able to secure items of all sizes. You will also be able to better organize your items while keeping your garage looking neat and clean. Wall mounted storage cabinets may require professional installation, but it will be well worth the investment.
Explore ceiling storage. If need to dedicate most of your garage space for your vehicles, then you may be pressed for space. However, you can store items above your vehicles with the use of ceiling storage racks. These racks are mounted from the ceiling and can hold a variety of items. It’ll take some expertise to install the ceiling rack, but it will be well worth the time for this garage storage hack.
Consider what you need to store before planning your storage strategy. Combine one or more of these hacks to make the best use of your garage space and declutter your home while you allow space for your car.

THINGS TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
ON A WALK-THROUGH You’ve done your research online and narrowed down the neighborhoods and homes you’re most interested in. The next step? Visiting your top picks in person. But once you’re at the open house or walk-through, what should you look for? What real estate information will you be able to determine live that you couldn’t find in the photos and details you already looked at online? To help you prepare, here’s a list of what to pay close attention to when on a walk-through:
THE HOME’S EXTERIOR. Photos online only allow you to get so close, so while you’re on site, carefully inspect the entire exterior of the home. Is the paint chipping? Are the shingles in need of repair? How about the gutters? Repairs needed in any of these areas will factor greatly into
your bid or can serve as a helpful negotiating point.
THE SMELL. One thing you definitely cannot research online is how a home smells. So put your nose to work to sniff out mold, pet damage, air quality and general cleanliness.
THE LIGHT. Sure, those appealing descriptions may have raved about the home’s natural light but visit every room of the house to make your own assessment. THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Sure, you found out all about school quality, crime stats, proximity to transportation and more during your online research, but nothing compares to being there. Look at traffic patterns, the condition of surrounding homes, the neighbors, their yards, etc. After you’ve toured the house, take a few minutes for a quick stroll around the block. This will give you a much better sense of the neighborhood you may come to call home. Once you narrow your choices down, try driving to and from the homes during rush hour, so you can see what a potential commute would be like. THE SIZE. You might think that with tons of photos and the exact square footage listed online, you have a good idea of the size of the home, right? Yes and no. You know the size on paper, but you don’t really have a sense of size until you’re there. Photos tend to make rooms look more spacious and ceiling height adds another layer to perceived spaciousness. Above all, the most important thing you will determine from a walk-through is hard to measure – how the home feels. Square footage, kitchen and number of rooms aside, you need to be able to picture yourself living there. And that is something you can’t determine until you’re there. So, don’t rush - take your time and really try the house on during your walk-through. Reach out to a Real Estate professional advertising in this magazine for more suggestions on walk-through items.

TIPS FOR FINDING A PERFECT
ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME Finding a home designed with energy efficiency in mind has long-term benefits for both your wallet and the environment. To help, the U.S. Department of Energy developed the Home Energy Score, a national 1-10 rating system that assesses your home’s energy efficiency based on its structure, heating, cooling and hot water systems.
To help find a great energy-efficient home, you can enlist the services of a DOE-trained Home Energy Score Assessor. They can perform a home energy audit of the house you plan to purchase, or your current home, to provide its Home Energy Score. From there, you can learn what improvements you can make in order to raise your score and save money.
they have listed them before. Some may even have third-party certifications proving they are knowledgeable and have taken courses in the matter, such as the Green Designation from the National Association of REALTORS®.
If you’ re in the market for a home, you can get a head start by sizing up the energy efficiency of homes you’re looking at, even if you don’t get a home energy audit. Here are some tips.
LOOK AT PAST BILLS. To get a true gauge of the energy efficiency of homes you’re considering, ask to see the utility data or past bills during the shopping stage or as a provision in the sales contract. This will give you great insight into have much energy the home is using during each season.
LOOK FOR CLUES IN THE LISTING. Look for mentions of third-party green certification like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or energy-efficient upgrades that have been done to the home (e.g., new appliances, new windows and doors, etc.) Bear in mind that not all sellers will think to include these details in their listings, so be sure to ask your agent about energy efficiency specifically.
EXPLORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT MORTGAGES. If you purchase an older home that is not built with a modern set of energy efficient guidelines, you may be able to get an energy-efficient mortgage (EEM). This type of mortgage builds in the expense of energy-efficient improvements into the mortgage payment. You’ll get money to make improvements, and in time, the savings on energy bills will offset the extra cost.
GET AN ECO-FRIENDLY AGENT. When looking for an agent to work with, find out their knowledge of green and energy-efficient properties. Ask if they’ve had success in finding such homes, or if
By following these tips and looking into a home energy audit, you’ll be better prepared to find the green home of your dreams.

LOOKING TO PAINT YOUR
HOUSE? Ask Yourself These Questions Before DIY’ing
With the warm weather here, you might be outside more, and therefore, spending more time around the exterior of your home. Is the paint on your exterior chipping or peeling? If so, it might be time for a touch-up or full-blown paint job. Now, it can be tempting to do-it-yourself – after all, it’s so expensive to hire pros, and not that hard to do, right? Well, not really. Before you decide to go at it alone, ask yourself these important questions. They might leave you realizing you need to call in the professionals.
Do you have the time? Repainting a home can take a full week or two. For many people, that translates to a lot of vacation days or weekends. Are you willing to make that sacrifice? By hiring professionals, they can paint your home during the day while you’re at work.
Do you have the right stuff? The highest quality acrylic latex paint costs more than S20 per gallon, and you’ll also need ladders, scrapers, sandpaper, brushes and/ or rollers and safety equipment. Do you have these items? If not, are you willing to invest in them?
Do you have the patience? While painting can be fun and psychologically rewarding, good surface preparation – the sanding and priming essential to any successful paint job – can be very tedious. Will you take the necessary time to properly prepare the surface before yielding to the urge to paint? Consider renting power-washing equipment to speed surface preparation, or have the professionals prep your exterior for you. Can you afford a professional? By doing the job yourself, you can save a lot of money; however, having your home professionally painted will be faster and eliminate the need for buying equipment, preparing the surface and doing the actual painting yourself. You must think to yourself – how much is that time and effort worth?
Can you do it? Have you painted a home’s exterior before? It’s tough the first go around, especially if you’re unfamiliar with surface preparation and application techniques. And are you afraid of heights? Look up at the highest point of your house? Can safely paint up there on top of a ladder? You also must have the physical ability to hold yourself on a ladder while reaching out and painting – it gets tiring quickly. If you decide to tackle your painting project on your own, proceed with confidence. However, should you choose the safer route and hire a professional, there are plenty of licensed and experienced painters in your area that would be happy to do the job for you.
