TESTIMONIALS “Dear Valerie, It’s been just over a month now since the closing on my horse farm and the move into my new home at the country club.

From the moment you and Kathy Prater took my listing I knew I was in excellent hands.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for such outstanding performance. Both through the selling stage and finding my retirement home I so dearly love. It’s a perfect match for my new lifestyle. Kathy Prater was always just moments away if I had a question or needed assistance. I know if it were not for her diligence, the sale of my farm may not have gone through. I have attempted to sell my farm for many years with different realtors to no avail.

Kathy got it done in less than six months and it wasn’t from luck. Your marketing team is also great. From the professional photography to the advertising, Showcase raises the bar on promotion and personalized service.

I believe the writing is on the wall that Showcase Properties is the premier real estate brokerage in Ocala and I will always refer you to my friends and colleagues.

Thank you again for making it all happen so smoothly. I’m grateful for having Showcase Properties as my listing and purchasing agent.”

Kathleen A. Taylor

“From start to finish, the customer service was top of the line. From helping me stage my home, hiring a professional photographer and displaying excellent service throughout the process, the Showcase Team did not disappoint. Valerie Dailey worked diligently throughout the process to ensure all went smoothly showing my home to qualified buyers and throughout the closing process.”

Marti Haught

Owner/Founder of Tack Shack of Ocala“Hilltop Retreat

“The Showcase Team made a dream come true!

Valerie Dailey and Kathy Prater worked diligently throughout the process to ensure all went smoothly in the purchase of our farm. It was important for us to find a home and farm that gave Abbey the opportunity to ride, train and show with a hands on approach to developing her career. From accessing our goals and needs for a suitable hunter/jumper farm to al the details in a closing process, they were there every step of the way. We have loved upgrading the farm to suit our liking and to help in caring for all our horses. We are forever grateful to The Showcase Team and all their hard work, kindness, and professionalism.”

Abbey, Sammye, & Randy Slaven

“We knew the well laid out 60 acre farm (Cardinal Hill) with its spectacular views was the right place for Y-Lo Racing Stables to expand our growing operation in Ocala, Florida. Pam and Valerie worked very well together; communicating effectively, setting up appointments and handling any questions that arose. We are looking forward to our continued growth as our goals and dreams are being fulfilled.”

Lolita Raquiza “Y-Lo Racing Stables” with Buyer Agent Pam Allen

When selling a home, you want to get the best price possible for how quickly you need to sell.

However, many sellers often miss the mark, due to one major mistake: failing to properly prepare and stage their home to sell.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

DEPERSONALIZE

Opinions differ on the level of personalization to keep when staging a home. Removing every single picture of your family is not necessary, however, crowded mantles, walls and bookshelves can be distracting. Try keeping the personal items to a minimum.

Buyers begin to assess your home from the minute they step out of their cars. Make the front of house neat and fresh looking. Painting the front door and decorating the front porch or patio are easy ways to start off on the right foot.

NEUTRAL TONES

Dramatic wine-colored dining room walls and bright blue bathroom walls may be the colors that you love, but they might also be a turn-off for potential buyers.

Bold and bright paint colors draw less attention to the size of the room or the beautiful hardwood floors. Instead, take time to repaint those walls with neutral tones such as different shades of tan or an off-white variety.

If you have been procrastinating in fixing that leaky faucet or broken door hinge, procrastinate no longer.

Small repairs in the home can make a big difference to buyers.

Pay attention to the attractiveness of your outdoor space. Freshen up your yard by trimming hedges, edging the lawn, putting down fresh mulch and adding potted plants or flowers. Pressure washing the driveway and walkways is an easy way to freshen up the first things potential buyers will see.

PREPARE YOURSELF

CLEANLINESS

Make sure to dust, mop and wipe down all surfaces. The bathrooms and kitchen are the most important areas to keep clean. Remove any stains that could deter buyers, whether on your carpet or in your toilet.

Be sure that the bathtub is also clean and organized.

Give yourself ample time to make repairs and to clean your home.

It’s also important to prepare yourself emotionally -- try not to take buyer criticisms personally.

NO CLUTTER! MAKE MINOR REPAIRS

CURB APPEAL

Clutter can negatively impact any interest a buyer may have. Clutter makes the home seem small, reducing its appeal. Remove as much as possible from floors, bookshelves, countertops, closets and cabinets. Renting a storage unit in order to maximize space in your home might be a good option.

If you live in the Ocala and Marion County area and you’re considering selling your home, our team at Showcase Properties offers comprehensive services to help you achieve that goal. Our real estate agents combine their expertise in staging homes to sell -- with a thorough knowledge of the market to get you the most value for your home.

t’s a chore no horse owner looks forward to, but it’s one of the most crucial to the health of your animals and your horse farm: waste management. Horses are big animals (you’ve probably noticed), and keeping them and their surroundings clean is no mean feat.

Here are some tips on how to reduce waste and responsibly manage what’s leftover.

STALLS AND SHAVINGS We like to give our horses the best of everything, and that includes a soft, fluffy bed to lay on. But that soft, fluffy bed can be a pain for you when the time comes to clean it out: it’s hard to dig through, and the shavings that compose it are some of the most annoying things you’ll ever get stuck in your socks. But bedding is still a necessity in order to soak up waste and excess moisture in your horse’s stall.

What to do?

The first step is reducing the amount of shavings used, if possible. Soft and fluffy may mean bedtime bliss for humans, but horses don’t really need lots of fluff to be comfy. A moderate, even dusting should be enough to absorb excess moisture and make stall cleaning much more manageable.

Secondly, consider investing in rubber stall mats.

Your horse will thank you: a level surface with just a little bit of cushion is much better for hooves than concrete or uneven, rocky ground. That level surface will also reduce effort and waste come stall-cleaning time. The firmness and flatness of the rubber

allows you to easily scoop up any manure and soiled shavings without discarding too much unused shavings in the process.

Another worthwhile investment to consider is a good stall refresher. Stall refreshers are products that help stall bedding not only absorb excess moisture from urine, but also break down the ammonia in it that can negatively impact your horse’s respiratory health.

These products come in both liquid and solid forms.

The liquid forms can be easily and evenly sprayed over shavings and under stall mats. Solid stall refreshers are usually made out of a clay-like compound called zeolite and are spread by hand over shavings. They have the advantage over liquid forms of keeping stalls drier and being excellent for spot-cleaning. Many solid stall refresher brands even boast of transforming ammonia into nitrogen, making stall waste healthier for the soil. However, you tend to lose more of the solid product when scooping out the stall. Liquid refreshers remain the slightly less wasteful option.

MANURE Dealing with manure is perhaps the biggest element of waste management for any horse farm. We covered manure issues a-plenty in our last installment of Green Horsekeeping (which is quite enough for us for a while, thank you).

farm. Turning manure into compost kills fly eggs and larvae, parasites, pathogens, and weed seeds, making it safer to store on your property. Compost has a much less noticeable smell than raw manure, and is more easily marketed to local farmers and other agricultural businesses who use it for fertilizer. As a fertilizer, compost releases nutrients into the soil slowly yet steadily, and is an excellent soil conditioner if you choose to use it for your own property. Turning raw manure into compost chiefly requires a good balance of moisture — it should be kept moist, but never soggy. It may need to be watered and/or covered with plastic to maintain its moisture balance. Compost must also be exposed to air on a regular basis, so be sure to turn it regularly in order to keep it aerated.

Careful mucking is also important, as excess bedding in the manure can throw off its natural carbon to nitrogen ratio.

For more tips on environmentally-friendly horsekeeping, check out our previous installment on water conservation, and be sure not to miss our next post which will cover best practices for feed and pasture management. Stay green, y’all!

COMPOST Composting isn’t just for the crunchy granola crowd anymore! As a horse owner, you can benefit from it in a variety of ways no matter the size of your horse
