MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
Ten Tips To Sell Your Home
You may think your house is perfect just the way it is, but a prospective buyer may not see it that way. To give your home "curb appeal" and make it more attractive to buyers, there are some tasks you should see to before you place that "For Sale" sign in your front yard. Many of these suggestions are simple, common-sense items; others will require some time and investment. But you'll reap the rewards when a buyer walks into your house and exclaims, "This is the home I've
been waiting for!" 1. If your home needs to be painted, this is the time to do it. The interior paint job should be fresh and clean and in a single, neutral color throughout. This is not the time to experiment with lilac walls in the bedroom. The same goes for the exterior. Don't forget shutters and windows. If your home has vinyl or aluminum siding, be sure it's clean. Moldy, dirty siding will tell a buyer that your home has not been taken care of properly. 2. The green shag
carpeting still gracing your floors should be replaced. Old, matted carpeting will be a detriment to your home selling. Real estate agents all have a dozen stories of a home that sat and sat on the market until the old carpeting was replaced. Then, it sold immediately. If you have hardwood floors under old carpet, tear up the carpet to expose them; today's buyers love hardwood floors. 3. Make a list of all those little repairs you've let go. Then fix each one. The hole in the screen, the loose doorknob, the doorbell that doesn't work and the leaky faucet must all be repaired before buyers start looking at your home. 4. If your home's appliances, like the dishwasher, oven, refrigerator and washer and dryer, are old and outdated, it could pay
to replace them. Buyers do not want to be faced with the possibility of having to replace appliances upon moving in to a new house. Shiny, new appliances already in place will be a big selling point. 5. Clear your house of clutter and debris. Get rid of piles of old newspapers and magazines, the old clothes that don't fit, the closet full of small appliances that don't work, dustfilled collections of knickknacks, etc. Clean, open spaces make your home look bigger to prospective buyers. 6. Clean out closets so that they appear more spacious. Closets are an important feature to today's buyers so you want yours to look as roomy as possible. If they're still
too cluttered after cleaning them out, remove items you don't need now and put them in storage. 7. Minimize the amount of personal items and mementos in your home. Prospective buyers want to imagine themselves living in the home. Dozens of family pictures and your grandchild's finger paintings cluttered on the refrigerator will make them feel that they're invading your home, rather than inspecting their future home. 8. Clean your house top to bottom including walls, floors, furniture and tabletops. Everything should be sparkling clean when a buyer makes that allimportant first visit. Don't leave dirty dishes
in the sink, crumbs on the counter or laundry stacked in the bedroom. 9. Take a long, hard look at your home from the street. Does it have curb appeal? Is it warm, inviting and well-kept? Make sure by mowing the lawn, weeding garden areas, trimming unruly bushes, resealing the driveway and sweeping the porch. 10. Pay particular attention to your front door. Repaint it if necessary. Polish the doorknob and knocker and clean the glass and screen door. When a buyer waits at the front door to enter, make sure he or she sees that your home was cared for lovingly. For more tips on how to get your house sold, contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992 or visit us online at www.mchba.com.

Make your home smarter and more efficient this winter
(BPT) - The coldest time of the year can also be the busiest. With holiday entertaining, overnight guests and winter getaways, it can be hard to ensure your home heating and other systems are performing for optimal comfort and efficiency. In addition, the Department of Energy reports that no matter what-energy-source you use, heating this winter will cost more, an important consideration since heating and cooling typically makes up about 54 percent of your utility bill. Now, thanks to new home automation technologies, you can run your home in a smarter and more cost-effective manner than ever before from wherever life takes you - even from
a smartphone, tablet or Web connection. For example, the Nexia(TM) Home Intelligence system from Trane(R) and Schlage(R) allows you to remotely manage multiple systems throughout your home, including heating and cooling, door locks, video surveillance, lights, shades and energy usage via any Web-enabled computer and most smartphones. Designed for today's mobile lifestyles, it helps you make everything in your home speak one simple language. Visit www.nexiahome.com for more information.Such technologies are growing rapidly in popularity as they become more affordable and easier to use. According to ABI Re-
search, the number of home automation systems sold in North America is expected to grow to about 6 million by 2016, a six-fold increase since 2011. Smart temperature control for better comfort ---Comfort and efficiency starts with smart temperature control for many homeowners. Picking up relatives at the airport? Kick on the heat in the guest bedroom from your smartphone while waiting at the baggage claim. Does one of your guests have allergies? Activate your system's allergy clean cycle to temporarily boost air filtration and clean air output. Need to adjust home temperatures from your office if a sudden cold snap is predicted? It's
all possible with an automated system.For example, the Trane ComfortLink II Control works as an up-to-the-minute weather station inside your home. It can provide you with access to weather information, temperature control and air quality from afar via your smartphone, computer or tablet. In addition, you can create automated heating and cooling schedules to save energy while no one is home, an added advantage if you're trying to better control winter utility costs. Visit www.trane.com for more information.Smart security for peace of mind With all of the family's comings and go-
ings this winter, home automation can help keep your property secure while you're away. Planning a weekend at your second home during the holidays? Technology can help you monitor and manage security at your primary home while you're gone. Need to let a pet sitter inside while you're on vacation, or open a locked door for a family member who lost a key? Now you can. Schlage, for instance, offers indoor and outdoor cameras that let you view activity around the home or yard. It also offers keypad deadbolts and levers that let you grant access to your home via scheduled codes when
you're not there. You can even receive a text or email alert when there is activity around the home, for greater peace of mind. Smart connectivity to fit your lifestyle When it comes to home automation systems, you can often pick and choose which devices you wish to control, for smart and efficient use of your budget, too. For example Nexia users-pay a monthly subscription fee and-then select from up to 200 different devices that can be purchased separately or bundled together, making it easy to expand the level of control as lifestyle needs change.
