“Reyna and her team came highly recommended to my wife and I. Although I value her years of experience, high knowledge of current market conditions, and projected professionalism; I give even higher marks to her accessibility. In this profession real estate agents are pulled left and right at all hours. Only the good ones can manage the madness. Not only did Reyna manage the madness, she responded to my texts within minutes.

When I sat down with Reyna and her team for the first time, I told her that I had done my own appraisal on the house a month ago and it appraised at $530,000. She told me that she could get me $560,000. She lied, she got me multiple offers after only 3 days of the listing, and sold it for $590,000. The experience was painless for me, because she clearly knows what she’s doing. I highly recommend Reyna Perea. Thank you so much Reyna, what a blessing you were!”

It’s tha freshe

It’s that time again! Spring has arrived and so has the need to freshen things up a bit. Whether you’re planning a total home makeover, or you just want to declutter, organize, and refresh some spaces, we’ve got a few ways to get you started.

Before you spring into action, make sure you have the right cleaning products. There are a ton of eco-friendly, non-toxic options and it’s worth a little extra research to find the right ones.

Clean in chunks. Spring cleaning can feel overwhelming.

Start by making a list of everything you want to get done and then break it down into 30-minute chunks. Need to dust, vacuum, sweep and mop? You don’t have to do it all in one day. Start with dusting first and see how far you get. Think floorboards, celling fans, corner walls, and windowsills. That alone will help freshen everything up.

Hit the washing machine. There’s nothing better than fresh, clean linens. Take some time to clean stains before

you throw them in the wash. You could a drops of your favorite essential oils, so th better. If weather permits, hang them ou most eco-friendly way to dry your linen your linens are washing, you can go bac that sweeping and mopping.

Focus on the bathroom. When was the disinfected your shower head? Showers heads are magnets for mold and bacteria, and use an antibacterial and anti-mold solu areas. When it comes to the sink, tub and nothing a hefty scrub brush can’t take, care forget to use it on the grout, you’ll be am great it looks afterwards.

Got carpets? Spring is the best time to dee dirt-filled carpets and rugs. If you’re more o can run up to your nearest hardware sto cleaning machine (this will cost less, too find a reputable carpet cleaning company

Sparkling windows for the win. Windows, both inside and out, tend to get very grimy without you even noticing.

Power-cleaning them is probably one of the most satisfying things you can do. Use a streak-free window cleaner and a microfiber towel to quickly wash away all that seasonal buildup. You might also want to clean your blinds along the way, as they tend to accumulate a lot of dirt as well. Your reward? A beautiful, clear view to the outside.

Finally, if it’s warm enough, don’t forget to open up all the doors and windows and let that fresh spring air circle through. There’s really nothing better than a sparkly clean home to enjoy on a gorgeous spring day.
