How a Coat of Paint Increases the Value of Your Home

Any improvement you make to your home should be done with the forethought of improving its value and increasing its appeal to prospective buyers.

Mid-Year Goal Setting

We are almost at mid-year, and most of us have been sidelined by some unexpected occurrences. This is a great time of year to set aside an hour or so of uninterrupted time to do a mid-year review. Use this time to reflect and evaluate your goals and your progress and to plan for the remainder of the year.

Ask yourself the following questions:

REFLECT:

• What have you accomplished over the past six months (goal related or not)?

• What goals did you achieve or make progress on?

• What are your 3 proudest accomplishments?

• What goals were a challenge?

• What opportunities to learn new things did you take advantage of?

• What goals no longer feel relevant?

• What mistakes did I make and what did I learn…

What Every Buyer Needs to Know Before House Hunting

Before you begin your hunt for a new home, even if it’s online, we suggest that you do some important information gathering ahead of time so that the fruits of your labor will be more immediate and more satisfying.

Don't Be Shy

Once you’ve achieved your real estate license, shout it from the mountain tops! Make sure all your friends, family, former co-workers, neighbors, etc. know about your career switch and you’ll widen your circle of influence in no time!

I know some of you will want to wait until you “make it big” but this is the time to get your name out. You’re going to need to be vulnerable and put yourself out there. You own your own business now. It’s time to shine and let everyone know.

Give Your Garage A Makeover

12 ideas to steal from the most organized garages

An organized garage is every homeowner’s dream, but it’s so hard to achieve! Check out these creative ways to keep clutter at bay by organizing everything from sports equipment to tools. 

Overhead Bins

Jam-packed with sports equipment and seasonal decorations—and let's not forget about the cars—many garages are seriously lacking in storage space. But as any organized garage owner knows, when you're searching for places to stash, look up, not around. Ceiling-mounted racks can house any unsightly boxes you don't need constant access to, and better yet, you'll barely even notice they're there.
