FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2012 By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
Moving Old Man Winter into Storage: Tips for Your Springtime Organization
Step outside and take a deep breath. Flowers are blooming and the fresh scent of spring is once again in the air. This means that heavy coats and scarves are giving way to short sleeves, and gardening tools are being brought out of hibernation. But where to store all of your now-unneeded winter accessories? Effective storage ideas are abundant, and getting organized now will ensure you are prepared when Old Man Winter comes back around. Some hoping to get
organized may find it helpful to start by making a list of everything they want to store. This list will help ensure that nothing gets lost once the organizing and storage begins. If you have additional space in a basement or garage, you may want to look into purchasing shelving or having it installed for you. Easy-to-install, heavy-duty shelving can be purchased at just about any major home supply store or from MCHBA members specializing in this service. Many of
these units are designed so that you can leave as much room between the shelves as you like, making it easy to get larger and smaller items onto the same unit and saving you space. If you decide give it a go yourself, it is important that when shopping for storage shelving that you look carefully at the installation process. While most are simple enough to install in less than one hour, some may be more involved, requiring multiple tools. Look before you buy and you will have a smoother process while getting organized. Winter clothing can take up lots of closet space, leaving you with little additional room for your spring wardrobe. If you are
looking for clothing storage space, have you considered what may not be under your bed? Many home owners forget about the ample storage space lurking there. Invest in some underthe-bed storage units. Many such units work perfectly for storing heavy coats and sweaters until next season, especially in homes with limited storage space. Simply fold your clothing and additional accessories flat and place them into the storage containers. The containers slide right under the bed for excellent out-of-sight storage. These handy units can be found at just about any store that
sells storage solutions and are relatively inexpensive. When looking at storing additional tools, step into your garage and look up. The additional space on the walls towards the ceiling may lend itself to a long rack with hooks where tools can be hung. For townhome and apartment dwellers, storage can take an interesting angle of its own. Stretched to find storage space in often cramped quarters, MCHBA members are ready to respond to your needs. Fixes to storage problems include larger built-in cabinets and a unique process known as raised floors. A sec-
tion of the floor is elevated like a platform, high enough to include small access doors with space to store boxes, heavy coats or just about anything you may need to pack away with the coming of spring. Storing all of that winter gear away can be as easy as you make it. Remember, make a list and assess what you will need. Take a look around first to see what you already have that can be used for storage. With just a little preparation, storing your winter items can be as relaxing as a warm spring breeze.

Bill Sahadi of Fore Properties gains HMS Certification
FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2012
Southern Pines, N.C. March 28, 2012. Bill Sahadi of Fore Properties has been awarded the Home Measurement Specialist Certification (HMS®) by the Institute of Housing Technologies, LLC. Sahadi joins a select group of agents and appraisers who hold this highly soughtafter certification, the only advanced real estate program geared towards prestigious designation after completing 18 hours of course work and extensive examinations. The courses were created in collaborations with a multidisciplinary team of industry experts from across the country; ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of the ANSI® measurement standard, the overall impact of square footage and “priceper-square-foot” on home prices, and its influence on market timing strategies. HMS® designees are trained and committed to delivering buyers and sellers true “value added services,” helping buyers and sellers obtain a fair value in today’s competitive marketplace. “In today’s marketplace a broker has got to be able to quantify as much information as possible for the seller and buyer.

There is nothing more disheartening than to receive a contract on a home and have the appraisal come in short of value, when that heartache could have easily been avoided upfront. A prelisting appraisal is also great insurance if the contract appraisal, done by an out of town appraiser, comes up short due to lack of familiarity with our area.
