COMMERCIAL LAND

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. • • • 57 SHOWCASEOCALA.COM

R

esidents of Central Florida horse country are fortunate to live among one of the most beautiful and biologically diverse landscapes in the country. It’s not always as obvious, however, that it is also one of the most fragile. Florida’s history is fraught with cautionary tales about how easily our home’s abundant resources and natural beauty can slip away if we fail to be good stewards of our environment. If even one element of the ecosystem around us fails—water quality, the nutrient content of the the soil, the population of insects that pollinate the plants our animals need for food—it could take the horse industry with it. Whether you live on a one-acre lot or a 1,000-acre horse farm, there are easy, efficient methods you could be implementing to reduce your carbon footprint and protect the land that supports our animal and human communities. Many could even save you a nice chunk of money. Economical and ethical. Cha ching!

At Showcase Properties, our Green Horsekeeping blog series is dedicated to providing educational resources for our clients and community so that the land we love will be preserved for generations of horse and nature lovers to come. Topics featured will include water conservation, waste management, pest control, alternative energy options, and much more. Each month a new installment will be available. We also appreciate the ideas and feedback from our community, so sound off!

Have eco-friendly tips that work for you and your farm? Have questions about a conservation method? Maybe just want to let us know what you think? Drop us a line and keep the conversation going!

If you’ve been in Central Florida for more than a minute, it’s probably obvious to you that we have water.

We have a lot of it (sometimes more than we want!). It comes up from the ground at nearby springs and rivers.

It falls from the sky (like, all the time).

It collects in pastures. It hangs constantly in the air and ruins perfectly good hair days. Seems like we’ve got plenty of the stuff, right? So why worry about it? Well, it can disappear pretty fast in a dry season, especially with thirsty, thirsty livestock around.

But for us horse country Floridians, a bigger issue than keeping the water we’ve got is keeping the water we’ve got clean. Water runoff from farms can easily contaminate ground water and natural water sources like springs, rivers, and ponds. This installment of Green Horsekeeping will address both water conservation and runoff management so that we can keep ourselves and our animals happy, healthy, and hydrated.

WATER CONSERVATION Use automatic watering Seriously! It’s economical, and results in less work for you.

Automatic watering systems limit the use of water and prevent water wastage, resulting ultimately in more water to go around and more money in your pocket. Most automatic watering systems keep water cool in summer and above freezing in the winter (and it does freeze in the winter, even here in the Sunshine State).

We love our horses, but what warmblooded Floridian wants to stand out in a paddock on a cold winter morning breaking ice? No thanks. They also ensure a constant supply of fresh water, so no more having to constantly dump out and refill huge troughs when they get icky in the summer. Some models are even customizable and come with all kinds of cool gadgets.Such gadgets include monitors that display how much water is used over a certain amount of time, allowing you to be better informed about the health of your animals.

If you do choose to use an automatic watering system, be aware that there are a few drawbacks. Automatic waterers must be cleaned often, and cleaning them is a little more labor-intensive than rinsing out a bucket or trough. When the waterers are first installed, horses (especially high-strung ones!) can

be a little skittish about drinking from noisier models. Unless you purchase a model that monitors how much your horses are drinking, you’ll need to be extravigilant for signs of dehydration in your horses because you won’t be able to visually gauge how the water level in the system changes.

Collect rainwater Something native Floridians notice about people new to the area is their wonder and awe at the daily rain shower that occurs in the summer, usually around 3 PM. It’s pretty much our state’s version of Old Faithful (not as showy, but whatever). Rain is perhaps our biggest “crop,” and one of the most unfortunately wasted. It’s also totally free! So why not put all this free water to good use? The cheapest and easiest route is to just set up a barrel or collection tank at your drainage spouts (we’ll get to the importance of drainage spouts in a minute). You can use the collected water for cleaning or watering plants. Bam. Instant free water. If you want to get serious and self-sufficient though, you’ll need to buy a special tank or drainage pipe that filters the water for other uses like watering gardens and paddocks, and even watering livestock. You could even have a nice

store of water set by for yourself in the event of a natural disaster or emergency. Above-ground options are generally cheaper, but underground tanks keep the water cooler (preventing the formation of bacteria) and out of the way of farm equipment and roving animals. This option requires more initial investments of time and money, but your wallet will thank you the next time your water bill comes in.

RUN-OFF MANAGEMENT Install gutters and drain spouts on all buildings This simple and cheap method diverts rainwater from high-traffic areas. It reduces the amount of sediment, manure, and other runoff that usually finds its way into nearby surface water. Runoff can alter the chemical makeup of nearby water sources and even the nutrient content of the soil it flows over, so it’s important to make sure you’ve got your runoff situation under control.

Cover and/or control manure collection areas A single horse can produce around 50 pounds of manure a day. That’s something like nine tons annually. The contents of manure can be used to benefit

lime rock. If possible, utilize a manure collection service.

the soil, but Florida land is usually too wet and saturated for manure to be used safely, and that much buildup can be harmful to both the land and surrounding water. Be sure your manure collection area is covered or contained to reduce runoff. Keep your collection area at least 300 feet away from any surface water, ponds, or ditches.

If you are not using a receptacle, choose the flattest part of your land possible to dump manure– observe how rain falls on your land and avoid flood areas.

To completely avoid nutrient leeching, dump manure on an impermeable surface such as concrete, pavement, or pressed

Many will make the manure they collect available to farmers for fertilizer.

Manure spreading isn’t ideal on many properties, but is a possibility if spread over enough land that is far from bodies of water and sinkholes.

Fence horses out of surface water I know we just talked about the benefits of free water, but not all free water is created equal.

Allowing your horses access to ponds and streams is convenient in the short term, but ultimately pretty terrible for the water itself.

Over time, the horses trample the shore of the pond or stream, stirring up all kinds of icky stuff. It rains. Runoff from the paddock

and the trampled shore runs down into the pond or stream, altering its chemical makeup and allowing bacteria and algae to flourish.

Bringing the water to the horses (see the section on automatic watering above) is a much more ecological and healthy solution.

Wash horses with care Even horses need baths sometimes, and while they don’t know the difference between an economy bottle of dollar store shampoo and the horsedrink-from-hose-peco-friendly variety, the soil and the ground water does. If you’ve got the budget, consider stocking up on shampoos that are made with organic ingredients and/or do not contain sulfates. Fragrancefree is also preferable. These products ensure that the soil and water on your property are not contaminated with excess chemicals. You can even make your own shampoos with animalfriendly essential oils (make sure the oils do not contain adulterants). Be sure to always consult your veterinarian before you put anything new on or in your horse’s body.
