HOME STAGING TIPS FOR EVERY SEASON If you’re preparing your house to sell and don’t know where to start, you’re not alone. Even the experts understand that it can be overwhelming. Thankfully, there are many tips, guidelines, and resources to help you along the way. As you venture out into the housing market, you’ll find that home staging is an integral part of the selling process. Updating your home in different seasons throughout the year can improve your chances of sparking a buyer’s interest. Some home staging techniques have the same impact no matter what time of the year, but there are also many season-specific ways you can stage your home that are more effective in buyer persuasion and attraction, without them even realizing it.

87773.20.2.010.qxp_Layout 1 1/20/16 1:56 PM Page 2
HERE ARE SOME SEASONAL HOME STAGING TIPS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF:
SUMMER: In the summer, your house may get cluttered with trees, plants, and the seasonal humidity makes your yard look out of control. To calm down the summer chaos, trim plants to reach the bottom of the window. Do not use any hanging plants on your patio because you want their eye to go to the house, not the plants. You should also stage the backyard as an outdoor living area in the warmer months. Don’t be afraid to spend the extra money on A/C – Make sure the inside of your house is cool, or else buyers won’t stick around very long, which means they won’t buy.
FALL: The season of Fall brings us many things, including lots of leaves. Make sure you keep the house exterior nice and neat by raking up all those extra leaves in the front yard and trim greenery as needed. Halloween and Thanksgiving come around during Fall, but don’t go overboard with the decorations. Remember that less is more when it comes to staging your home to sell.
WINTER: Now we come to our current season, Winter. The rule mentioned above in Summer for your house’s interior temperature also applies here, but in the opposite sense. You’ll want to spend the extra money on your heating bill if you want home shoppers to stay and look around, feel comfortable, and potentially buy. It also gets dark earlier in the Winter, so make sure you keep lighting in mind – putting timers around the inside and outside is a great solution. Keep the holiday decoration down to a minimum so it doesn’t distract buyers from the actual house.
SPRING: Spring means bright colors, and that’s what buyers will be attracted to, especially once it brightens up the rainy weather that usually comes with Spring. Place seasonal flowers in pots on your front porch and make sure all of your holiday lights and decorations are down and put away. Also, keep up with trimming the weeds and make sure there are no cracks in your driveway so people don’t trip, especially if women are wearing heels. Lastly, keeping light coming into every room of your house is a sure way to appeal to buyers’ senses.
Apply these small alterations throughout your home to fit the seasons of Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring to make a huge difference on how you attract buyers. It’s time to cut the strings of attachment by turning your home into a house and your house into a product. Only then will you see results.

12 I have learned frrom personal experience that it doesn’t take much foor my allergiies to go haywire frrom the inevitable dust that builds up in my home at supersonic speed. Admittedly,, this is also thanks to a little basset hound/beaglle mix by the name of Charlie Bronson getting hair everywheree (as cute as he may be!). e Wh W hether you have a pet or not, there ere is dust-f t ffrree ligh ght at the end of the tunnel! Yoou’re not alone, either – allergiies affeect moree than 20% of Americans. In n this post, we’ll go over specific ways to frree your home of allergens so you and your faamily can finally breeathe cleaner air.. Heere aree some trusty guidelines to get you started.
a to

87773.20.2.012.qxp_Layout 1 1/20/16 1:57 PM Page 2
1. Lay down doormats. In each entryway of your home, lay down two doormats – one on the inside and one on the outside. This helps prevent allergens from being tracked inside. Another alternative is to have your family and guests remove their shoes when they enter your home. Otherwise, allergens are just spread around.
5. Say bye-bye to drapes Consider switching from curtains to blinds or shades because they hold much fewer allergens. However, if you insist on having drapes, make sure they’re machine washable since those are easier to keep dust-free.
2. Upgrade your vacuum cleaner If you don’t have one already, make sure your vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter. These are specifically made to trap particles as small as 0.3 microns. Basically, they’ll be able to capture the majority of allergens.
Remember to always clean or replace the air filters in your heating or cooling system as often as required. You can refer to the manufacturers’ instructions regarding when to change them and how often.
4. Beware of mold Minimizing mold, especially in your bathroom, is one of the most effective ways to lessen allergens. With more than 100,000 species of mold in the world, the last thing you want is for your bathroom to turn into a war zone. Clean regularly and remind yourself to dry off surfaces that collect standing water. Also, it’s important that your bathroom has good ventilation. Every few years, you should replace any broken tiles and re-caulk sinks and tubs. This keeps mold from growing behind the walls.
From cooking fumes and cleaning vapors to dust and pet dander, there are so many different types of particles that can pollute the air inside your home. Air purifiers can be very effective in helping reduce allergens in the air, but just make sure you stay away from those producing ozone. We recommend using one with a HEPA filter.
7. Use a hygrometer to measure humidity levels By investing in a hygrometer, you’ll discover the exact moisture levels in your home. Take a measurement in each room and if the reading is above 60 percent, you may consider using a dehumidifier. High humidity can lead to mold growth, so this is your best tactic to prevent that.
8. Ditch the carpet Carpet does a great job of trapping in countless allergens, so it’s a good idea to replace your carpeting with hardwood or linoleum flooring. If that’s not an option, use low-pile carpeting instead of high-pile. Be sure to vacuum at least once a week and shampoo your carpet frequently.

5 Ways to Save Energy When
itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold outside
As outdoor temperatures drop and home-heating costs are on the rise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now more important than ever to make sure your home is properly prepped for winter. Here are some cold weather tips and easy DIY projects to help save money and energy this winter:
F a w t m
Untitled-3 1
1/20/16 1:23 PM
Attic First, check to see if there is any missing or damaged insulation that can be readily replaced. A lower-cost alternative to block unwanted airflow is to place sheets of foam polystyrene plastic on top of existing insulation. You can also keep the cold air in the attic and out of the living area by installing some plastic foam weather stripping around the attic door.
Fireplace Although a fireplace is meant to heat a room, it often allows cold air to enter a house. An inexpensive product known as a “chimney pillow” or “fireplace plug” can reduce airflow when the fireplace isn’t being used. After installation, the pillow’s inflation tube hangs down into the fireplace as a reminder to remove it before lighting a fire in your living room.
Windows & Doors Make sure your home is properly insulated by inspecting doors, windows, and apply caulk or weather-stripping where necessary to keep cold air out. You should also close drapes, blinds and garage doors to preserve heat and prevent cold air from sneaking inside. There is a wide variety of low-cost weather stripping you can purchase that helps trap air, providing a barrier between indoors and out.
Switches, Outlets & Ducts Less obvious places that can waste energy are electrical switches and outlets. You can easily prevent air from sneaking in and out by placing pre-cut, inexpensive plastic foam insulation sheets behind switch and outlet covers. Check your home’s unheated areas for leaks in heating ducts, including your basement, attic and garage. If you find leaks, they can be easily sealed with plastic caulks or polyurethane foam sealants. These low-cost products are designed to fill cracks and crevices while keeping away moisture and mildew.
Follow these energy and money saving tips for a cozy home this winter and all year round. Many homes have areas that are not properly sealed, letting warm air escape your home and allowing cold air to sneak in. Helping to seal these leaks in problem areas can provide a quick and easy return on time and money invested.
