Garage tips

If your selling your home anytime soon, on of the over looked spaces is the garage.  Many people will worry so much about getting the clutter out of the house (which is a BIG deal ) but by doing that they just stack it up in the garage.  Many buyers are in pairs so that usually comes with two cars.  While most accept a one car garage they like to have that extra space to store their clutter...  trust me when we open the garage door to peak at the size if there's boxes, toys, shoes, clothes and totes all over then the space has lost space in the buyers eyes that is there because they are just looking at your stuff..

How to fix it?

That's simple really, just pick it up.  Make special areas for toys, and shoes.  If you can afford to then go a step farther and invest in (the same solid color) totes.  Plus this is great for moving :)

 

HOA fees

HOA fees

 

What are they?

An amount of money that must be paid monthly by owners of certain types of residential property to an organization that assists with maintaining and improving that property and others in the same group

Make sure to ask your realtor (me) before putting an offer in on a home you like if you will have a hoa fee.  Some are monthly and some are yearly.  It can range for 10 dollar to 250 dollar PER MONTH... make sure to know before making a decision, because this is extra on top of what your already paying for your loan.
