Winterize Your Home

How to Winterize Your Home

-Check your roof. Loose shingles or tiles may cause leaks with the snow.

-Clean out your gutters, so snow doesn't collect and possibly pull the gutters off the house.

-Remove and drain water hoses.

-Have your chimney swept each year if you are using it, or use a chimney sweeping log.

First Comes Blogging...

The song has changed from "first comes love, then comes marriage..." to "first comes blogging, then comes podcasting..." so what exactly is podcasting and what comes next? The term podcast has two parts - pod and cast. Pod translates to portable-on-demand and cast is short for broadcast. A podcast is an audio or video file on the internet that can be viewed online or transferred to a portable device for listening/viewing. I'm fortunate to work in an agency that is very tech savvy and is taking advantage of the latest forms of communication, such as blogging and podcasting. What comes next? Widgets according to Real Living Realty. Check out our website to see widgets soon!

Oakwood in the Fall

When driving and walking my puppy in the neighborhood that I reside and specialize in (Oakwood), I can't help but notice all the beautiful shades of trees. Oakwood was a perfect choice of community for my husband and I because it is centrally located to his work at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and my office, in Centerville. Although Summer is my favorite season, I must admit Fall is more picturesque. Today I took my camera on my morning jog and snapped some amazing shots of Oakwood, and I wanted to share the photos. Enjoy!

Buy or Rent?

There are several benefits to purchasing a home, including: 

  • Purchaser's are often surprised that a monthly mortgage payment is actually LESS than the monthly rent payment. You may find a loan that is the same, or slightly more than, your monthly rent.
  • Owning a home can save you hundreds (even thousands) of dollars in taxes each year.
  • Unlike renting, buying your own home means steady monthly living expenses. To lock in your mortgage payment, secure a fixed-rate loan.
  • The last, but not least, benefit is having the freedom to make decisions about how you live. As a homeowner, YOU decide whether or not to have a pet; YOU decide whether the walls are red or yellow; and YOU decide whether or not to remodel.

To find a trusted, experienced mortgage professional to determine if you are ready for home ownership - ask a Realtor.

7 Steps to Take Before House Hunting

7 STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE HOUSE HUNTING

1. Be familiar with the market. Take note of recent home sales and listing prices.

2. Have the money for a down payment, closing costs, and earnest money. Tax returns and holiday gift money are great sources for a down payment, closing costs, and earnest money.

3. Know how much you can manage to pay for. A good measure is your monthly house payment should be no more than 25% of your gross monthly income.

4. Maintain good credit and make sure your credit report is accurate. A mortgage counselor can help review your credit report with you.

5. DON'T make any major purchases near the time of the home purchase, above all a vehicle.

6. Hire a trusted Realtor and ask for past client testimonials.

7. Get preapproved for a mortgage loan. (And I strongly recommend getting at least two opinions to ensure you're getting the lowest monthly payment and out of pocket expenses).

Is My Home Inspector Qualified?

A good way to determine if your home inspector is qualified is to check if they are a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors or the National Association of Home Inspectors. You can check the home inspector's membership by visiting the websites at http://www.ashi.org/ and http://www.nahi.org/. To ensure a home inspector is experienced,  ask how many inspections they perform a year. A minimum of 200 inspections each year is a good number. A good resource to refer a qualified home inspector is an experienced Realtor.

Landscaping With Mulch

MULCH IS BENEFICIAL

Mulch is beneficial - who knew? There are many reasons to use mulch, including: moisture, health, weed reduction, temperature, and plant protection.

Moisture is conserved when using mulch.

Health by adding nutrients from bio-friendly mulch.

Weeds are reduced.

Temperature is lowered, providing plant root growth and strength.

Plant protection from lawn mowers and other hazards is the last but not least benefit of mulch!
