Four Exciting Features for the

ULTIMATE

OUTDOOR KITCHEN Outdoor kitchens are on the rise in luxury real estate. As homeowners increasingly look to create their own private oasis in the backyard, a cooking space has become just as coveted as a sparkling swimming pool and spacious terrace where the whole family can spend time together. If you want an outdoor kitchen that leaves nothing to be desired, here are few exciting features to include.

DELUXE GRILL The grilling station is often the centerpiece of the outdoor kitchen and essential for any warm-weather gathering in the backyard, which is why many homeowners choose to invest in a high-end option. If you want the versatility to prepare everyone’s favorite dishes, a deluxe grill that’s equipped with multiple burners, a rotisserie and a smoker box will ensure successful barbecues all season long.

popular option to endure outdoor conditions without compromising on style.

PIZZA OVEN If you want to mix up your menu and take a break from the grill, there’s nothing like a wood-burning pizza oven. With a wide variety of materials to choose from—such as natural stone, brick and clay, to name a few—you can get just the right aesthetic and elevate your outdoor kitchen to enjoy family pizza night on the patio.

REFRIGERATION When it comes to convenience, you simply can’t beat having your outdoor cooking area equipped with a refrigerator. This allows you to keep beverages, side dishes and any perishable ingredients nearby, avoiding the need to run back inside to the kitchen every time you need something. A sleek, stainless steel design is always a

BAR AREA For those who like to sip a cocktail or craft beer while lounging in the backyard, a well-designed bar area is in order. In addition to a bar counter and stools, you may want to include a prep area for mixing drinks, as well as a built-in kegerator that allows you to keep your favorite beer on tap.

THE DOS AND DON’TS OF WORKING WITH A

REAL ESTATE AGENT

By Anita Ginsburg

When planning to buy a home, you’ll probably work with a real estate agent to prepare your property to sell and to do online views and walk-throughs of new homes. A knowledgeable REALTOR® can answer questions and help you find listings of interest that fit your needs and budget.

Your agent can also point out strengths and weaknesses of various properties that you might otherwise miss.

HERE ARE TIPS TO MAKE YOUR WORKING RELATIONSHIP PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL: Do Be Specific About What You Want Don’t Pay More Than You Can Afford Make a list of the features you’re looking for in the home you want to buy. Only view those that meet your criteria to avoid wasting your time or the agent’s. Have a clear plan of the size, style and location of properties you’re willing to look at. Keep a price range in mind and let your agent know what it is, as well as whether you’re willing to negotiate on a house you fall in love with.

Don’t Settle Even if you or your agent get tired of viewing properties that aren’t really what you’re looking for, don’t give in and agree to buy a home that you don’t want. If you’re negotiating a purchase with a buyer who refuses to fix things about the property that you feel are important, don’t be coerced into surrendering to the buyer’s terms. Issues like the settlement date, which furnishings will remain and who will repair broken areas like a leaky roof should be resolved without pressure before you sign the contract.

Do Keep Appointments Your REALTOR® may want to meet with you to go over the property specs you have in mind for purchasing a home. The agent may also want to show you some properties and walk through them with you. Make every effort to keep the appointments that you make to respect the time invested by the seller and the agent, as well as your own schedule. If you miss or postpone several appointments, the agent may take your interest less seriously.

Your agent may try to show you listings that are beyond your indicated budget. This might be done innocently if the more expensive properties have the items on your must-have list. However, don’t buy a house that you can’t afford, because you could end up suffering financially for years to come. You could even lose the home to bankruptcy if you can’t afford payments and maintenance. Be clear with your agent about what you can and can’t afford.

Do Perform Due Diligence Don’t expect the agent to have all the answers about a certain property. Find out through online research whether the home or area has a bad history. You can always ask your REALTOR® about the neighborhood, schools and local businesses, but be willing to do personal research if needed.

An agent can be an amazing resource to help you find the home of your dreams. But keep in mind, they will work more effectively when you provide detailed information about your requests and limits.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU’RE PAYING THE RIGHT PRICE FOR YOUR HOME

W

ith bidding wars commonplace, and so much information on home prices available, it can sometimes be tough to know whether you’re paying a fair price for your home. If you’ re working with a real estate professional whose expertise and guidance you trust, chances are they negotiated the best possible price for you. But here are some other ways to know if you’ve paid the right price:

1. CONSIDER THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Location really is everything when it comes to a good real estate investment, so if you bought in a great area odds are you’ve made a good investment and your home’s value will appreciate over time. Ask your agent to show you “comparables” of what other homes in the area sold for and are valued at.

2. PAY ATTENTION TO THE INSPECTION REPORT. If the inspection report comes back with any issues that will require a major investment to repair, this should be reflected in the price you pay for the home. If the owner didn’t pay for the repair, that cost should come out of the purchase price.

3. USE AUTOMATED VALUATION MODELS (AVM) TO GET AN IDEA OF THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVER TIME. Ask your real estate agent to recommend a couple they believe are most accurate. The AVM may reveal that while you feel you’re paying too much, the appreciation in a few years’ time makes the investment well worth it.

4. TAKE YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES INTO ACCOUNT. Ultimately, what you pay for the home has everything to do with your personal situation. If the location is extremely important to you, or the design or style is your absolute dream home, then the price is worth it.

Taking all these factors into consideration can provide you great peace of mind or provide some necessary concern.

Work with your real estate agent to determine whether you’re paying the right price – they will keep your mind at ease and provide helpful guidance.

It’s also important to consider how long you intend to live there. If you’re in it for the long haul, odds are you’ll regain your investment. If you’re there for a shorter term, being able to make a quicker profit or rent will be very important. Your personal situation is a critical factor in the price you’re willing to pay.

SEARCH FOR YOUR NEXT HOME ON THE GO! Whether you’re driving around, flipping through magazines or searching online, it’s now easier than ever to find your dream home.

Text the code listed on the sign rider or in the magazine to 52187.

You’ll immediately receive a response that links to more photos and property details, all of which can be viewed from your mobile device.

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.

KEEP THE BUGS AT BAY THIS SUMMER

Ahhh, summer is here. And , unfortunately, so are the bugs. They’re back in full force from their wintery graves. And they ain’t going anywhere until well after Labor Day. Bug issues range from the mild annoyance of ants in the house, to itchy mosquito bites, to full blown serious health issues associated with insects, like ticks.

Protecting your home from bugs should be a priority when summer rolls around, so follow these tips to keep the winged, six-legged demons away from your home.

Keep the Outside Free of Debris. Firewood stacks, compost bins, and yard waste are like a five-star resort for insects. Keep firewood covered in the summer months, or give it away. dump out or clear out any areas of standing water; it’s a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Keep landscape beds free of weeds and plant debris, they can house bugs.

And keep branches and plants away from your home’s foundation.

Dry Up Damp Areas. Bugs are always searching for water, especially in the summer heat. Some home invading pests, such a silverfish and centipedes like to hang out in damp places. So fix leaky faucets, and make sure the outdoor spigot isn’t dripping. You’re probably blasting the A/C all summer long, so make sure it’s not leaking.

Cracks and Holes Are Like a Wide Open Door.

Closely inspect your home’s foundation and any window or door screens. Make any necessary repairs.

Kill Any Bugs You See. Stop small bug problems from becoming big ones. We’re not telling you to go Predator on the fruit flies in your kitchen, but we are telling you to get some insect control products that meet your indoor bug control needs, such as baits, sprays, and other ready-to-use products. Find some with natural or biodegradable ingredients that are safe to use around kids and pets.

Create a Barrier to keep the bugs out. Use a perimeter insect killer and spray around the foundation of your home. Also get insect killer that is safe for plants and spray it on flower beds and mulched areas.

There are trillions of insects on the planet, and some of them will pay you a summer time visit. But, if you heed our wise advice, you can prevent them from becoming a real issue and keep your home that summer-time oasis it was meant to be.
