CREATE A HOME OFFICE THAT WORKS

Although a growing number of businesses are reopening their in-person office spaces, many are maintaining remote workforces or implementing hybrid schedules. While the shift signals steps toward more traditional, familiar work environments, it also presents some challenges.

If your temporary remote work schedule is headed for a more permanent status, or if you’ll be straddling both worlds indefinitely, it may be time to make some changes to ensure your home office is up to the task.

Page 9

DO YOUR RESEARCH Before making any significant purchases, do some digging to learn all you can about the devices and equipment you’re considering, especially if you’re planning to create an efficient setup using smart technology. While many devices work well together, that’s not always the case.

You should also be aware of the controls and how you’ll manage smart functions; choose the setup that’s most intuitive for you and fits best with your workflow.

IDENTIFY UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS A successful home office needs to reflect the needs of your particular job, so you may need special equipment or tools specific to your role. For example, 63% of desk-based workers said having to collaborate with colleagues virtually is either a challenge or major barrier to working remotely, with 24% saying it is a major barrier, according to a survey

by HP. If your job typically relies heavily on collaboration, you’ll probably need a video conference setup.

Another common challenge: access to a printer. More than one-fourth of deskbased workers ranked having access to the office printer among the top three things they miss about the in-office experience.

If your home office isn’t already equipped with a printer or you need to upgrade, you may be wondering where to start. Convenience is more important than everything else in a home printer, according to survey participants.

You may also agree with the 52% of remote workers who indicated that if they were considering buying a new home printer in the future, it must be easy to use, and a simple set-up process was a leading demand.

One convenient and simple option is the HP+ smart printing system, which is

powered by a cloud-based ecosystem with enhanced security, productivity and sustainability features. Paired with an optional Instant Ink automatic supplies replenishment subscription, an environmentally friendly solution to ensure you never run out of ink or toner, the system offers a perfect solution for hybrid workers and small businesses.

START SMALL Establishing a well-equipped home office takes time and money. Identify the equipment and essentials you need to get started then create a wish list with other items you can add over time.

As you’re setting priorities, remember it can pay to invest in quality products from the get-go. If you have to make repairs, or upgrade or replacement equipment, you may actually spend more in the long run.

GET A STRONG NETWORK At the office, you probably had an IT department responsible for keeping your network up and running. At home, you may still have some level of tech support, but your home connectivity is likely your own concern. A good network starts with a quality router. You’ll also want to shop for an internet provider with the best speeds at a rate you can afford. Just be conscious of any restrictions on volume or speed that could hinder your ability to do your job.

KEEP SECURITY IN MIND Smart devices collect a lot of information and because much of the technology is still so new, it’s relatively vulnerable to hackers. Get familiar with privacy settings on all your devices and adjust accordingly so you’re not divulging proprietary data or other information that could be used inappropriately.

HOW TO FIND A HOME IN A

SELLER’S MARKET In a seller’s market, there are more buyers looking for a home than there are houses available. That means sellers may have an advantage, since multiple buyers may be interested in purchasing their home. If you’re looking to buy a house in a seller’s market, it’s important to know what to expect and to be prepared so you can avoid common pitfalls.

Get Pre-Approved Before you start shopping for a house, you should get pre-approved for a mortgage. That means you will submit your financial information and supporting documents to a lender, and it will review them to decide how much you can afford to pay for a house. Being pre-approved will demonstrate to a seller that you are in a good financial position, can afford a house and will be able to move forward quickly.

The amount a lender pre-approves you for is not necessarily the amount you should spend. The lender may not consider all your monthly expenses, such as childcare, or other costs of homeownership, such as property taxes, private mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance, maintenance and repairs. Assess your overall financial circumstances to figure out how much you can comfortably afford to spend for monthly mortgage payments.

Page 11

Make a Competitive and Realistic Offer You want to get a home at a good price, but in a seller’s market, you may be competing with one or more other buyers who are interested in the same house. To have a better chance at becoming the new owner, you need to present a competitive offer right off the bat. If you try to start negotiations by submitting a low bid, you may not get a chance to negotiate at all because the seller may simply choose a buyer who made a higher offer.

Don’t make an initial offer for the maximum amount you can afford. In a seller’s market, bidding wars are common. You may find that because competition is fierce, the only way to win a bidding war is to offer more than the list price. That doesn’t mean you should go over your budget—it means you should focus on homes with asking prices below the amount you can afford so you will have room to negotiate. If another buyer submits a bid that is higher than what you can afford, be prepared to walk away and look for another house that’s a better fit for your budget.

Get Help From a Knowledgeable Real Estate Agent An experienced real estate agent who is familiar with the local market can guide you through the process of looking for a new home. An agent can help you decide how much to offer so you can hopefully get the house you want at a competitive price without being outbid by another buyer. If you can’t find a home with the features you want in your price range, your agent may recommend that you consider another neighborhood or city with lower home prices.

SIGNS THAT YOUR HOUSE MAY HAVE TERMITE DAMAGE

Page 17

Termites can eat the wood in your house and cause major destruction. There are telltale signs of a termite infestation that you may be able to spot if you know what to look out for. If you notice any of them, contact a professional to have your home inspected and treated. It’s important to note that a termite infestation isn’t always obvious, which is why you should also have a professional conduct routine inspections.

Physical Damage to Your House When termites chew through wood, they create long grooves that weaken the wood’s structure and leave it hollowed out. The damage may be located in places that you can’t see, such as behind walls and beneath floors, but wood that termites have chewed through can produce a hollow sound that indicates that your home has been infested.

You may notice that drywall has small holes or that it’s drooping in places. You may see that paint is peeling and may think that it’s due to water damage, but it may actually be caused by termites.

Subterranean termites can damage the subfloor and cause blisters in wood flooring. If your wood floors look like they have water damage, that may also be a sign of a termite infestation. Floorboards may squeak when people walk on them, and wood or laminate floors that have suffered serious termite damage may buckle.

Other Signs That Termites Have Invaded Your Home Subterranean termites live in underground nests and dig toward houses and other wood food sources. If

you see mud tubes near your house, that’s a sign that termites have burrowed underground to get to a food source.

After termites leave their nest to mate, they twist off and discard their wings. If you see a pile of wings that are all the same size and that resemble fish scales near a window or door, that indicates that there’s a swarm of termites nearby.

You may see piles of termite waste in the form of pellets. The pellets may look like sawdust or coffee grounds.

Have Your Home Inspected for Termites on a Regular Basis If your home has been invaded by termites, you may not see evidence until they have been there for months or years and have caused widespread destruction. That’s why it’s important to schedule routine termite inspections. If there is termite damage, a professional will be able to detect it so you can take care of the problem before it becomes serious and your home requires major structural repairs.

FOUR LUXE BATHROOM IDEAS TO PULL FROM HOTELS

Nothing is quite as relaxing as enjoying a luxurious hotel room. Between fine bed linens to a spa-like bathroom, when you stay at a great hotel, it can be hard to want to leave. Luckily, you can take that feeling with you when you leave—and you don’t have to steal the bathrobes to do it.

WAFFLE SHOWER CURTAIN Your utilitarian shower curtain may be doing its job just fine, but if it doesn’t currently evoke that spa-like quality, it may be time for an upgrade. Leave the plastic and themed shower curtains for the kids’ bathroom and opt instead for a monochrome waffle shower curtain. These heavy-duty fabric curtains may offer instant sophistication, but they can also

be easily cleaned in the washing machine making them practical for everyday living.

WATERFALL SHOWER HEAD You may not be able to arrange for regular room service in your home, but you can easily start the day with a luxurious shower every morning. Your current shower head may be serviceable, but if you want to add a

Page 19

little more relaxation to your daily ablutions, consider swapping it out for a waterfall shower head. These oversized shower heads are mounted overhead to provide a water stream that feels like standing under a waterfall or natural rainfall.

UPDATE THE HARDWARE Your bathroom’s aesthetic has just as much of an impact on the overall feel. Outdated faucets and hardware will always lack a spalike quality. Update your current fixtures and hardware to match a streamlined and modern style. Bronze, gold and copper make excellent choices and will be sure to offer the modern minimalist visuals that your favorite high-end hotel features.

UPGRADED BATH SHEETS After using your waterfall shower head, you’ll want to keep the spa-like quality going with more than a simple bath towel. Opt instead for bath sheets, which are bigger and more absorbent than the standard bath towel.

For the most lux experience possible, be sure to opt for a higher-end bath towel that will offer a plush and comfortable texture.

Your bathroom may never be the complete oasis that a high-end hotel offers, but pulling easy-to-implement inspiration from them can have a big impact on your home. With these four ideas, you’ll be relaxing in your own minispa in no time. All you will need to complete the package is a quality hotel-worthy bathrobe.

4 TIPS FOR BUYERS TO

OVERCOME LOW INVENTORY A booming real estate market can present plenty of challenges to homebuyers, one of which is low inventory. When you find yourself in a highly competitive market that faces a shortage of listings, it’s important to work with an agent who has an in-depth understanding of how to navigate the situation. Following are several tips to help ensure you can achieve your goals, even when facing low inventory.

ASK ABOUT POCKET LISTINGS

MAKE A STRONG OFFER

In the luxury sector, in particular, it’s quite common for sellers to quietly list their property rather than blasting it all over the internet. A savvy real estate agent who’s plugged into the local market can help get you access to these pocket listings that are discreetly marketed by word-of-mouth. Furthermore, your agent should also be able to keep aware of any premarket listings that are ready to be listed but not yet marketed online, to help you get a jump start ahead of the pack.

When sellers receive multiple offers, it’s not always the highest one that’s the most appealing. In fact, there are other ways to set your offer apart, such as making a cash offer or waiving contingencies. In the event that another buyer offers the same amount, this can give you a competitive advantage.

GET READY TO ACT FAST In a hyper-competitive market, speed can make all the difference. That’s why it’s always a good idea to get pre-approved for a mortgage even before you find the ideal home so that you know exactly how much you can offer and are positioned to act quickly when the time comes. The last thing you want is to miss out on an opportunity while waiting to get approved.

BE PREPARED FOR A BIDDING WAR No buyer wants to find themselves in a bidding war for a property, but it’s all too common in a market with low inventory.

If this happens, it’s important to know your limit beforehand and take the time to consider what the home is worth to you versus its current market value. After all, it can be difficult to put a price on the perfect home, especially once you’ve started getting attached to the idea of it.
