Weekly Cleaning Guide – What Should You Be Cleaning

Weekly Cleaning Guide

You’d think with more time at home I’d be motivated to stay on top of housework. If only it were that easy, huh? ⁣
⁣
The good news is there’s no need for any of us to be in a constant cleaning frenzy. Here’s what Good Housekeeping recommends be done weekly:⁣
⁣
• Change sheets⁣
• Dust surfaces and furniture⁣
• Vacuum and mop floors⁣
ª Wash towels⁣
ª Clean bathrooms⁣
• Toss expired food⁣
⁣
Owning a home is a lot of work but totally worth it! If you’re looking to buy and need a realtor you can trust like a friend, send me a message. I’d love to connect.

It's the question every homeowner asks at one point or another: Should I sell or should I remodel? Here are a few questions to ask as you make the king-size decision.⁣
⁣
First up, Team Remodeling: ⁣
• Do I love my current home's location? ⁣
• Do I have space (inside and out) for an addition?⁣
• Will remodeling address my biggest concerns about my home? ⁣
• Do I have a place to temporarily move during the remodel (or the patience of a saint to live in an "under construction" house)?⁣
A YES to most of the above means remodeling is probably in your future.⁣
⁣
Next up, Team Time-to-Move:⁣
• Do you anticipate needing more space than a remodel can provide in the next 5 years? (more bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.)⁣
• Will remodeling put your home above neighborhood value?⁣
• Would you prefer a home that's closer to your everyday places (work, school, shopping) or do you desire a different school district or a larger lot?⁣

Resonate with these questions? Find a realtor and at the very least, take a look at what's on the market. Sometimes moving in one direction is just what you need to clarify your thinking.⁣
⁣
Whether you're leaning towards remodeling or moving, send me a message. I'd love to do a quick analysis on your neighborhood and give you the stats you need to go along with your intuition!

Our next FAF (Frequently Asked Friday) is often a source of confusion when buying a home. Let me clear it up once and for all!⁣
⁣
Q: Can you show me any house on the market or only the ones you have listed?⁣
⁣
A: Any licensed real estate agent (that’s me!) can show any home that’s listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)—not just the ones they have listed. ⁣We can also arrange showings with for sale by owner properties, and even "pocket listings" that may not be fully on the market yet.
⁣
So while you’ll see an agent’s name and brokerage firm on the listing, that agent isn’t the only one who can show the home. (In fact, it’s advantageous NOT to use the listing agent. As a buyer, you need a dedicated advocate all your own. Not one already looking out for the seller.)⁣
⁣
See a home you like and want to schedule a showing? Stop thinking about it and get inside it—send me a message and let’s go check it out!⁣
