neighbors than you thought, rooms with poor lighting or even repairs that weren’t disclosed.

For this reason, it’s important to enlist the expertise of a local agent. you can give them your list of

HOW tO FinD An Agent An expert real estate agent is a valuable resource in an out-of-state home purchase. However, finding one requires a high level of trust and confidence as you will be unfamiliar with their work. Here are some questions you should ask them before enlisting their help.

How long have you been an agent? experience in the real-estate industry is a must when seeking an out-of-state agent. Ask them about their qualifications, and to disclose their most successful transactions and how they made the sale happen with negotiations.

How many buyers are you currently working with? your out-ofstate purchase may require more dedicated service than a traditional transaction. Make sure your potential agent has room in his schedule to visit properties and communicate with you in a timely manner.

Do you have referrals? A good way to gauge a real-estate agent’s performance is by inquiring with previous clients about their capabilities.

Once you have contact information for referrals, ask about the expert’s commitment to acquiring the best deal, her accuracy in showing homes that met the needs of the buyer and how aggressive she was during negotiations. these factors can play a big role in buying your

When you commit to purchasing an out-of-state home, it’s important to be cautious of potential scams.

One way to avoid investing in a property sold by someone with deceptive intentions is to be as involved as possible in the process and enlist the assistance of local experts or trustworthy friends.

Make sure to physically visit the home before any offers are made or earnest money is deposited.

A real estate purchase is usually the single largest investment made

by Americans. Don’t find yourself facing buyer’s regret after acquiring a property without in-depth knowledge of what you’re buying.

Buying a new home can be a stressful experience —even more stressful if it’s outside your local area. there are numerous factors to consider as you prepare to make an offer.

taxeS While home buyers are traditionally responsible for covering closing costs such as home inspections, processing fees and appraisal expenses, sellers aren’t off the hook for some additional costs.

Selling a property can introduce you to taxes that sometimes total a significant amount. many states impose a transfer tax which is required before a transaction can be complete. there are many variables regarding who is obligated to pay and at what percentage. the exact rates can vary greatly as counties and other local municipalities may charge their own taxes in addition to the state’s requirements. a capital gains tax is required on a federal level for sellers meeting certain requirements. the IRS exempts property profits that don’t exceed amounts of $250,000 for single sellers and married couples who make less than $500,000 on the deal.



after spending time upgrading a property and setting an asking price that will provide a profit, it’s important to consider additional expenses that will ultimately arise. before seeing dollar signs in your eyes, you should plan for these unexpected costs.

The benefits of water features in garden landscapes

Many homeowners aspire to make their homes appear as beautiful and welcoming as possible. Exterior renovations may be high on homeowners’ to-do lists, and landscaping is oftentimes a key component of those projects.

When planning gardens, homeowners may benefit by considering more than just flowers and shrubs while giving thought to other elements that can breathe vitality into their landscape designs. Water features can do just that, as such features provide more than just visual appeal.

• Aesthetic appeal: Water elements stand out against the greenery and foliage and can be used to create focal points around the garden or yard. A single fountain can draw the eye, while a trickling stream or waterfall can deliver water to various spots in the landscape.

• Soothing sound: Rain drops on a rooftop or

waves lapping on a shoreline elicit feelings of harmony and relaxation. Water features can bring that gentle sound close to home, further enhancing the ambiance.

• Brings texture: Water has its own unique and fluid texture that can provide stark contrast to blades of grass or the hard lines of architectural elements, such as pergolas or retaining walls. A pond or fountain can soften lines.

• Enhance the natural ecosystem: Water features can attract wildlife to a property. Birds may visit to take a quick sip, and dragonflies are sure to dart and hover over the shimmering ripples. Inviting natural wildlife to the yard can add hours of entertainment by enjoying the animals and insects.

• Remedy problem areas: Rather than fighting with the landscape, homeowners can adapt it.

An area of the yard prone to soggy conditions

or flooding can be transformed into a pond or waterfall to work with natural surroundings.

• Foster a passion: Many people turn to water features so they can explore the hobby of nurturing an outdoor aquarium. Koi ponds are relatively easy to install and maintain, and the vibrant fish add visual appeal.

• Add a personal touch: Water features are as unique as the homeowners who create them.

To set landscaping apart from neighborsÕ homes, homeowners can add fountains, ponds or flowing water elements to their properties.

Decorative water features also can be melded with pools and spas to help these manmade recreational areas seem like they were carved right out of the natural landscape.

Water features can take landscapes to the next level with sounds, texture, movement, and beauty.

environmentally Friendly Pest Control Pests come in a variety of forms: weeds, insects, animals, molds, and fungi to name a few.

The need to control outdoor pests varies. Having some weeds in your garden or some grubs in your lawn may be tolerable. However, certain pests present serious threats in some years. Some pests can damage human and animal health, such as mosquitoes that carry diseases. Pesticides provide relief from many pests, but they are not the only solution to pest problems, according to the environmental Protection Agency.
