---------------------------

Testimonials “Jim O’Donnell is an excellent realtor. We interviewed 4 realtors, all were professional, had great answers (though not in depth) to our questions, and ready to sell. Only Jim went the extra mile! I asked ‘What would be our total closing costs?’ He came prepared with a detailed approx. list (which ended up being 97% accurate of Final total). We stated a *number* that we wanted to ‘Walk Away’ with, more than what we wanted to sell it at. He in turn, told us truthfully his expert opinion, which was ‘it’s possible but more likely $10,000 less.’ He did not offhandedly promise us the moon like the others. Jim told us the truth and backed it up with facts. And he was a greatest cheerleader! Another aspect is the expert team of photographer and videographer. We consider Jim a true friend now and highly recommend him for all your realty needs.”

- Norie

“Jim O’Donnell is a professional, responsive, friendly, helpful, and highly knowledgeable realtor. As first time buyers in a crazy market (during a pandemic, no less), we were uncertain whether or not we would be able to find a new home. Jim worked… tirelessly to get us into showings quickly and would give us honest feedback about value, fair offers, and how to work through any hurdles we came across. I am so glad we chose Jim to be our realtor, as we are now looking forward to moving into our new home and making it our own!”

“I can’t say enough about Jim’s help during the sale of our house. I was anxious about the prospect of selling, but from the very beginning, Jim was there to help me understand the market, our options, make educated decisions and throughout the process was on top of every detail or issue that needed any attention. During the whole process, Jim kept me well informed and my mind at ease. I truly appreciate his hard work and I will definitely be recommending him.”

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.
