KEEPING YOUR HOME

STAGE READY

It’s not uncommon to scramble and stress when it’s time to put your house on the market. All those little jobs and fixes that never got done are now an overwhelming list of “to dos.” Don’t let the tasks pile up. By making simple updates now, you can better enjoy your home while it’s still very much your home, and it will be ready to show when it’s time to list. Here are some inexpensive ways to give your home a staged appearance every day: COMPLETE UNFINISHED JOBS We all have that list of nagging little fixes that we haven’t gotten around to yet. These often include minor repairs like replacing light fixtures, repairing baseboards or painting trim. To get started, grab a notepad and wander from room to room making a list of any unfinished jobs you can tackle quickly to bring your rooms up to snuff. UPDATE YOUR DOOR HANDLES AND KNOBS Replace door handles and knobs with styles and colours that are current. Shiny gold door knobs are no longer fashionable and are not unlikely to come back in anytime soon. Update an entire floor with a brushed nickel or pewter look which is very trendy and can go a long way to updating your space. Likewise, update faded or scratched cabinet knobs and handles in your kitchen for a fresh new look. DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER There’s a great deal of psychology that suggests a cluttered house leads to a cluttered mind, but it can be difficult to know where to start. Before tackling bigger jobs, adopt the mantra “every item needs a home.” In other words, if magazines don’t have a rack to file into, they will remain cluttered on your coffee table. Craft items without a bin will remain scattered across your dining room table. Pick an

area and determine where items should go. Then invest in bins, baskets or a cupboard and put away the items you use regularly. Throw out old papers and knick-knacks that serve no purpose, file bills and important papers and find a home for anything you want to keep. Get in the habit of putting things “in their home” instead of leaving them on the counter or kitchen table. EASY DECORATING It’s easier than ever to find cost-effective accent pieces to update a tiredroom. For about $100, you can change throw pillows, add a new piece of wall art or find a seasonal tablecloth. For a simple bathroom update, replace the builder’s mirror with a pretty framed one and add new designer towel racks. A simple change can spruce up your home, and your mood. SPRUCE UP THE OUTSIDE With many of us having busy schedules and constantly running in and out, it’s not uncommon to overlook the state of the outside of our homes. Simple tasks like adding a new welcome mat, pruning shrubs and keeping a seasonal arrangement in an urn by the front door are quick ways to enhance your curb appeal.

QUESTIONS TO ASK A POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR When it comes to renovating your home, be it a kitchen remodel or a bathroom overhaul, you want to be sure you hire the right professional for the job. This is the person you are depending on to tear down your walls and spend your dollars wisely. Avoid a renovation nightmare by researching a few different contractors and setting up an interview with each of them. Here are seven interview questions to ask a potential contractor to ensure you hire the right pro!


Page 15

1

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

Most states require contractors and their employees to take and pass an exam, as well as attend annual education courses to maintain their license. If they are insured, so are their employees. This is vital when choosing a contractor, because if they are not insured and someone gets injured on your property, you will be liable and they can sue. Bonds, such as a surety bond, will ensure that if they go out of business mid-renovation or they do not finish the job for another reason, you are not liable for the additional costs to fix the job or pay their bill.

2

What is the cost breakdown?

Never settle for a general or overall price estimate. Asking for an itemized cost breakdown is a vital step in the interview process. This way, you can see what they are charging you for and decide on any changes before they start. Oftentimes, there are many hidden fees that a homeowner may never know about. With a cost breakdown, you can discuss your options, update plans and even consider more cost-effective materials for your project.

3

What is the anticipated timeline for this project?

After discussing the cost, you want to understand how much time your project will take. Of course, you will likely not be offered a set finish date, as weather and other incidents may change things. Remember that delays are common and unforeseen circumstances may end up changing the completion date. Work closely with the contractor to set an anticipated start and end date, and if you need the work finished by a specific date, be sure to mention this now rather than later.

4

How long have you worked in this area?

In order to build a good reputation in a city or community, contractors must perform at a high-quality standard. Understanding how long they have been in business and how long their employees have been working with them will give you a better idea of how the finished

product will look. If they have experience working in your area before, they will have a better understanding of permit regulations and any possible issues in your area, such as piping and electrical work, that you may not be privy to.

5

Can you share references from past customers?

6

Will you obtain the correct permits?

7

Can we put everything in writing?

Previous customers are your best source of information on how well a contractor performed. In addition to doing your own research and reading online reviews, ask them to share a few past customers for you to speak with. When you do reach out, ask questions such as, “Were deadlines and expectations met?” and “What were your best and worst experiences working with this contractor?” This will help you get a better understanding of the contractor’s communication skills, as well as the quality of work you are paying them for.

Permits are almost always required for professional remodeling jobs. Make sure that your potential contractor understands the rules and guidelines for permits in your area, and that they will help to schedule a visit from an inspector. Once a building inspector reviews the project and approves it, your contractor will be issued a permit to start the work. Remember to ask for copies of any and all permits for your records. If a contractor tells you they do not need a permit, do not hire them!

In addition to collecting copies of the required permits, you want to ensure everything is put in writing. Every detail should be included in a contract, such as payment schedules, cost breakdown, timetables, materials purchased and other essential information. Before you decide on a contractor, be sure contracts are complete and signed before any work is started. Do not trust a contractor who refuses to put things in writing or tries to talk you out of a contract.

The Value of Branding Yourself

Miranda Rocca-Circelli, MDDE, BSc., BSc. www.creativeelearningdesign.ca Whether or not you may have consciously thought about personal branding, if you have a social media account, and have been even remotely active, you have contributed to creating your personal brand. In our current society, everyone and anyone is known by their brand, which represents how the world may choose to see them. It's the idea of who you are, or who you want to be, projected into the world for the world to interpret. Now that is my personal spin on branding, and what is important to keep in mind is that from your grandma making pasta videos on YouTube, to you being a professional, all the way to our children looking to explore the digital world, we all create a brand for ourselves whether we realize it or not.

What does branding mean to me? What can I achieve with branding? How will it benefit me? What is my intention with branding myself? In my opinion, branding is a way to connect with people. How you connect with people can help to share your story, product, and or service.

B) Identify Challenges in Branding Everyone's challenges will always be unique in their journey to learning how to brand themselves. There is sometimes a trial and error process, where you get to learn what you like and what you do not like. You can change your brand whenever you want, aside from costly investments in doing so, branding is in your control and If you are interested in learning about how should always feel good as a reflection of to create your personal brand, or even how you want to show up. looking to acquire some insight into how you can control how you choose to show Some challenges to consider that you may up in the world for others to experience, have to face, can include: here are some tips to help you navigate. Acquiring visibility Knowing how to brand yourself A) Define What Branding Means to You. Communications, how and what to We all associate different connotations communicate with different words, and while there may Target reach, who to target and why be a general definition for branding, it is important for you to define it for yourself. Ask yourself....


Page 21

C) List the Benefits and Opportunities with Branding Yourself There are always pros and cons to any argument, and it is important to identify where you want to focus your energy in the end. Taking a good look at where you can see the benefits and opportunites with creating a brand for yourself, or assessing your current brand is as important as any check up is. You want to make sure that your brand is still aligned with how you want to show up. Some benefits and opportunities to branding can include: Gaining visibility Increase sales and revenues Communicate your products and services with people Widen your reach to new clients Become known for what you offer (product or service). Let people know when they see your brand that you are an expert in a field Now that you've gotten to a place where you can potentially identify the value in creating a personal brand, the next big question is; how do you go about creating your brand? It's important to ensure you dig deep to best identify how you want to communicate with the world. Here are 5 steps to help guide you in creating your personal brand.

It's important for you to take some time to identify what you are good at. What do you do well? What are you passionate about? Knowing what you are good at, allows you to be in control of your path by choosing to hone in on your talents and skills and communicate them to the world. Letting the world know what you are an expert in, is branding. Step Three: Name Your Fears with Branding When we do not name our fears we allow them to control us. By naming your fears and bringing them to the surface, you become in control of whether or not you want to continue to allow your fears to control you, or decide that you are now in control. List your fears when it comes to putting yourself out there and creating a brand for yourself. What scares you? What are you afraid of? What is the worst case scenario for you? Step Four: Create an Action Plan Do it! Just Do It! Go out there and give it your best! One Day at a Time. Taking action is the piece that brings it all together to create your reality. So ask yourself honestly: What can you do to put this in motion? What can you do in this moment to start taking action towards possibilities? Name one thing you can do to start the momentum? What will you do tomorrow that is consistent with your brand?

Step One: Identify Your Values You want to ensure that you have done some personal work on identifying your personal and professional values. Values are what is important to you, what are your priorities, and mostly how do you want to live your life. An example would be treating people the way you want to be Branding can be fun and exciting, and treated. remember, you are always in control of your brand. You can change it and make Step Two: Identify Your Talent and or it what you want it to be. Have fun with Skill the process. Everyone has a talent and is skilled at something.
