ON THE FENCE ABOUT FENCING?

“People are going away from chain-link fencing, and going more to the PVC, vinyl or aluminum fencing,” says Tom McKenney, owner of Tom’s Fence Co. in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. “It’s a better look, and a lot of people want more privacy.”

Today’s Popular Choices Oﬀer Much to Choose From

Cedar fencing is growing in popularity for aesthetic reasons, although beige boards will weather to a silver-gray color if not sealed or stained.

By Keith Loria

If you are selling your home and you have an old, worn-down or fading fence on your property, chances are that it will leave a prospective buyer with an unfavorable impression. One solution is to just remove it, but fences are often looked at as a good thing, so replacing or renovating the fence is a better solution. Many agents agree that something simple like fence updating can help set a house apart from others in the neighborhood. “The feeling of security with a fence is about keeping something or someone in or out of a defined space,” says Gregory Knoop, of Hercules Fence Corporation in South Carolina. “Sometimes these goals overlap. Fencing can help delineate property lines, or mark off the area around a pool, or a homeowner might want to confine their dog, and keep other dogs out.” While the standard silver-gray chain link fence remains the most economical model, there is a plethora of fence options to better match a home’s style and color scheme.

17M272_TREB_Issue33_Digest.indd 1

Another fast-growing segment of home fencing is polyvinyl. Extremely durable, vinyl withstands harsh elements and offers carefree maintenance. “This plastic fencing can recreate the storied white picket fence of American lore, but with zero maintenance,” Knoop said. “It’s more expensive, but will last much longer than many of the other options.” Wooden fences are charming until they weather, warp, and rot from the elements or lack of diligent annual maintenance. Wood also requires frequent sealing to keep it viable. “When choosing a fence, know what your goal is,” Knoop says. “For safety, choose fencing with pickets close enough together so a child or dog can’t stick their head through and become trapped or strangled. For privacy or noise reduction, choose a taller, solid fence.” McKinney says that for yards with many ups and downs, you should use stair-stepped fencing, which ensures a level fence. Another important thing to consider: When adding a fence to your property it’s vital that you check with your municipality about local zoning ordinances and building codes as some fencing projects require a permit. Of course, you could always go the Tom Sawyer route and simply paint your old fence, but make sure that you replace all broken sections as well, experts note.

10 Easiest Home Upgrades to Increase House Value By David Glenn

17M272_TREB_Issue33_Digest.indd 2

10/23/17 2:26 PM

HETHER PLANNING to sell the house, have it rented out, or simply for personal satisfaction, a little renovation and upgrade is always necessary to help increase its market value. In order to boost a house’s value in the market, it is ﬁrst important to learn what prospective buyers or tenants are searching for in a house. For most homeowners, the biggest concern is usually the budget required for upgrade, renovation and home maintenance. The great news is that there’s no need to spend thousands of dollars for home improvements. Just follow these 10 tips for the best home upgrades to add home value. Knock down a wall and go for open concept. Not only will it create an illusion of a bigger space, but it is a home design trend that is very much in demand today. Just make sure to have the wall assessed for possible electrical wires housed behind it before hitting it with a sledge hammer. 1.

Make the kitchen area workable. This means making the kitchen area a functional place where you can actually cook a decent meal. Update faucets, ﬁx leaking pipes, buff the counters and repaint cupboards and cabinets. It is not necessary to replace everything with a new kitchen system. Simply repaint worn out furniture and replace outdated knobs with modern handles to make it look more expensive. 2.

Brighten up the bath. Bathrooms are among the most important considerations for many tenants and prospective home buyers so it is pertinent to get this area of the house right. Buff up the tiles and replace the faucets, shower heads and toilet seats. There’s no need to replace all the tiles, just those that are cracked and chipped. The trick is to ﬁnd the right cleaning agent that can help whiten the tiles to make it look good as new. 3.

Add more storage. If there’s an extra wall or area of the house that does not seem to have any function, add in a laminate closet system or have a carpenter install small built-in cabinets, racks or pantries. Making every extra space of the house functional will help make it look more livable.

Turn that extra space into an extra room. A house with a lot of rooms will always look impressive when advertised in the market. If the house has a huge attic, a den, or extra space that can be turned into another room then by all means, ﬁx it up to look like an additional room. Simply add in a built-in closet and a window and it should be good to accommodate. 5.

Update the lighting system. Still using an old chandelier or unflattering fluorescent lamps? Hire an electrician to place some decorative lighting fixtures or dimmers that will give the house a more modern feel and mask any unflattering curves on the walls and ceilings. 6.

Buff the floors. The moment a buyer or tenant steps inside the front door the first thing they will notice are the floors. Tiled or hardwood floors need to be buffed till it sparkles. Carpeted floors need a touch of professional carpet cleaning to make it look, smell and feel brand new. Hiring professional cleaners is a small investment compared to the big impact it will make. 7.

Apply a fresh coat of paint on the walls or replace an uncharacteristic door with a rustic barn door. Choose modern color palettes to give the house a fresh new look. 8.

Add outdoor dining furniture in the front lawn or backyard. These areas can become extended living and dining areas. 9.

Hire an electrical and plumbing service to look at the overall state of the house. It is much better to catch the problems early on than ﬁnd out much later when the problem has already worsened, such as replacing the entire plumbing system or rewiring the entire house. 10.

paint

like a pro in 5 steps Nothing transforms the look of a home as simply and inexpensively as paint. Whether you’d like to liven up a dated design or refresh your entire home to sell, paint like a pro with these tips.

1. Look for high-quality products. When it comes to paint, quality matters. Search for a combination paint-and-primer to save time and effort plus ensure complete coverage and deep color saturation. The paint should have high hiding ability and resist dirt and scuffs. 2. Get inspired online. Color selection can seem intimidating, but it’s a chance to infuse your personality into your home. Many online resources are available for homeowners to explore, coordinate and experiment with different looks. Pinterest, Houzz and Apartment Therapy are great websites for browsing images, finding home décor inspiration and discovering colors that stand out and speak to you. 3. Use paint samples, rather than chips. The most realistic way to envision the color in your home is to see it in action. Holding a card up to the wall with a paint color on it just doesn’t have the same effect as the real thing. Many paint retailers offer small sample cans for just a few dollars. Use these to paint a few stripes of each color option in the room you’ll be painting. Note how color changes in different lighting conditions. “Sunlight, shadows and furniture can all alter the appearance of paint in your space,” says BEHR Vice President of Color Marketing Erika Woelfel. “Before fully committing to a hue, make sure it’s one you’ll love morning, noon and night.” 4. Use the right painting supplies. High-quality painting tools save you time over the course of your project and produce the most beautiful finish. For best results, use a lintfree roller cover. Select brushes made of nylon and polyester. For flawless edges, use a painter’s tape specifically designed for your surface type. 5. Prep before painting. Begin by removing all wall fixtures, such as pictures, doors and light switches. If you have small cracks or holes in your walls, remove any dust and apply a patching material. Make sure to allow this to dry completely before sanding the finished area. Wash away oil, grease or wax stains by dampening the surface, applying mild detergent with a sponge and then rinsing the wall clean. Once dried, you’ll be ready for smooth application and beautiful color.

QUICK CURB APPEAL PROJECTS

o you need to get your home ready to hit the market? Or are you just in the mood for a quick refresh to the exterior of your home? Whatever your situation, boosting the curb appeal of your home is a quick and easy solution. Here are ﬁve quick projects you can do yourself to help dress up your home using lightweight, decorative millwork accessories or architectural elements. The composition and durability of the products make them a long-lasting, low-maintenance way to dress up your home for years to come.

1 E N T R Y D O O R Make a front entry door ‘pop’ by surrounding it on both sides with a set of decorative pilasters and topping it oﬀ with a pediment. A pediment is a classical, triangular element that is attached to the wall, directly above the upper part of the door. Select from simple peaked pediments or more ornate acorn or rams-head pediments. 2 B R A C K E T S Install lightweight decorative brackets to a porch or under an eave for a fast way to personalize a home. These brackets are normally made of wood, which will not warp or lose shape, adding a beautiful, classical element to your home that will last for years.

4 C O L U M N W R A P S If your home has worn or boring porch posts, cover them with PVC column wraps. These decorative pieces ﬁt right over a post for an instant makeover. Choose a column wrap design that matches the rest of your home and porch’s style.

3 W I N D O W S Add a simple wood header directly over the exterior of a window frame to add more visual appeal to the window. Select from straight or arched headers for the style that best matches your home. Or, instead of a header, you can add a footer or window box below the window. The window box will allow you to plant ﬂowers to add a burst of beauty and color, which will boost curb appeal even more.

17M272_TREB_Issue33_Digest.indd 5

5 SHUTTERS If your shutters are suﬀering from peeling paint or worn ﬁnishes, consider replacing them with UV-resistant polyurethane shutters. Made to resist moisture and insects, such shutters can be quickly installed and will maintain their curb appeal for years to come. Or, if you prefer the look of wood, consider painting your shutters a color like red or navy blue to make your exterior really stand out from your neighbors.

Home Warranties Offer Great Benefits to Real Estate Agents, Sellers & Buyers By David Glenn

If there was a magic formula for selling real estate quickly and easily, you can bet every real estate agent would be signing up. Real estate sales affect agents, buyers and sellers in one way or another. Although homes need to be in good condition and offer what buyers are currently seeking, ultimately the real estate agent drives the sales. To stay on top of their game and work a little magic, smart agents have learned that a home warranty, also called a home protection plan, can work miracles for increasing sales and quick turnarounds. Learn how agents, sellers and buyers benefit from home warranties and all come out winners.

Home Warranties Home warranty programs are available for purchase by consumers who want protection for home appliances and major home systems in the event they fail or break down. If any of the items under warranty in the program should fail, the consumer simply contacts the home warranty company and they see to it that the item is inspected, repaired or replaced by a qualified contractor. Agents Start the Process Once a real estate agent learns about the advantages of home warranty programs, work takes on new meaning and they see the possibilities for success. Skeptical buyers are no longer afraid to consider older homes when sellers pay for a home warranty. After an agent explains that the warranty covers appliances and major heating, electrical and cooling systems, clients become eager to see a home that was once not considered. The agent just got a shot at another sale!

Real estate agents have more time to devote to selling homes because they are not continually working out last minute problems and negotiations with sellers and buyers over failing appliances and air conditioners. RE-

ALTORS® can sell any home that comes with a home warranty faster. Home warranties are almost like having insurance. Customers like the idea of buying a home and not worrying about troubleshooting repairs, hiring contractors and forking over more money. Home warranty programs provide the magical solution for problem homes that aren’t turning over. Some homes may have the most wonderful qualities, but it’s often the bonus of a warranty program that seals the deal. Warranties help agents to get satisfied sellers and buyers, which in turn leads to more referrals and increased future business. Real estate agents stand to make more money when they sell more homes. There is no doubt about it; REALTORS® are in business for the money. Selling homes with warranties provided by the seller goes a long way to increasing REALTORS’® incomes!

for more money than those with no warranty. Any seller would be pleased to get top dollar for their home. Faster sales are appealing to sellers. Constant cleaning and showing the house weakly is tiring on sellers. The faster the home sells the better!

QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE

With the autumn season beginning, when the kids are fully immersed in scholastics and you’re getting back into the swing of things, it’s a good time to review your home insurance coverage. As your life changes, so do your insurance needs, so take the time to ask yourself the following: IS MY HOME COVERED FOR ITS FULL REBUILDING COST? Review your policy to make sure that you have enough insurance to rebuild your home. If you have made major improvements to your home, such as adding a new room, enclosing a porch or expanding a kitchen or bathroom, you risk being underinsured if you don’t adjust your homeowners insurance coverage limits. And if you don’t yet have a separate flood insurance policy, now would be a great time to check whether your home is in a flood risk zone at FloodSmart.gov. DO I HAVE ENOUGH COVERAGE FOR EXPENSIVE ITEMS? Have you bought or received any valuable items since you purchased/renewed your policy? When was the last time you had the items you owned appraised? Standard homeowners insurance has dollar limits for the theft of certain types of expensive items like jewelry. This means that the insurer will only pay the amount specified in the policy – generally $1,000 to $2,000. To insure these items to their full dollar value, consider a special personal property

17M272_TREB_Issue33_Digest.indd 8

endorsement or floater. This coverage includes “accidental disappearance,” meaning coverage if you simply lose an item, and there is no deductible. The best way to keep track of your belongings and make sure they are adequately insured is to create a home inventory. DO I HAVE ENOUGH LIABILITY INSURANCE TO FULLY PROTECT MY ASSETS? Standard homeowners and auto policy liabilities pay for judgments against you and your legal fees up to a limit set in the policy. However, in our litigious society, you may want to have additional protection—that’s what an umbrella liability policy provides. An umbrella policy is an extra layer of protection that kicks in when you reach the limit on the underlying liability coverage in a homeowners, renters, condo or auto policy. DO YOU PLAN ON RENTING OUT YOUR PROPERTY? Whether you own a second home that you plan to lease to a tenant or want to rent out your primary residence though an online service such as Airbnb, your first step should be to call your insurance professional. Depending on the rental scenario, your standard homeowners policy may not cover losses incurred while your home is rented out, and you may require a more specialized insurance policy.
