HOME IMPROVEMENT STEPS TO MAKE YOUR HOME EXTERIOR

TIPS

MORE ATTRACTIVE

Combinations

Color combinations are key to an attractive home exterior and should be chosen very carefully. Do your research regarding what exterior paint colors are proven to enhance your homes curb appeal. New paint is a popular upgrade among homeowners because it’s simple, quick and budget-friendly.

Design An Entryway To Remember

Design an entryway to remember by paying attention to the details, materials and textures. Your front steps and porch are what guests and visitors alike will evaluate when they first enter your home. Make sure it’s a scene worth talking about and comes off as warm, welcoming and inviting. An entrance also sets the tone for what is most likely to come once someone steps inside your home. Eye-catching designs and appealing colors directly impact how people will view your home both inside and out.

Paint Your Garage Door & Trim

Your garage door says a lot about your 4

personal style and a well-kept exterior signifies that you take pride in your homes appearance. If you already own a wood garage door, painting or staining it is a cost-effective and fairly painless project that’ll make your home exterior more attractive.

Replace Or Paint Your Front Door

First impressions matter, so focus on creating the ideal front door to enhance the exterior look of your home. Now onto the fun part, selecting a color for your new front door! The goal here is to make a statement (personalize) and send a welcoming vibe. Don’t be afraid to go bold or colorful, especially if you have a neutral exterior. Even if your neighborhood is conservative, your front door can be your self-expression piece.

Spruce Up Your Décor

Never underestimate the benefits of improving your home’s exterior appearance with thoughtful and elegant décor. This includes anything from potted flowers and plants to wrought iron fixtures and lights. Change out the décor pieces by season or holiday and let your

individual style and personality shine through your selections.

Tidy Up Your Landscaping

Tidying up your landscaping is supper important for creating a boost in curb appeal. Maintaining your lawn, planting attractive trees and bushes or installing a fence are all practical options for improvement.

Enhance Your Sidewalk & Driveway

Fix any cracks in your sidewalk or driveway, or consider replacing each structure. Another idea is to build or install a fence around the perimeter that adds privacy and beauty at the same time. Plant flowers or add lights to brighten up the walkway. If you look down at your driveway and see dirt and grease stains, then it may be time to pressure wash your driveway. Boost your curb appeal and spruce up your exterior with these simple steps. You won’t be sorry because your home will be more attractive than ever. Start small and work your way to a stunning exterior one update at a time.

TIPS

Increasing the Value of Your Home with

Kitchen Remodeling

by Connie Lyn If you’re thinking of kitchen remodeling with an eye toward the future marketability of your home, you are making a wise move. Even if you don’t spend a lot of time preparing meals from scratch in your kitchen, chances are the room still sees a lot of use. The activities that occur in the kitchen today are different than fifty years ago; however. Today, homebuyers are looking for different features in kitchens and paying attention to those matters when you tackle a kitchen remodeling project can really pay off later with an increased value in your home. First, it’s important to realize that with most women working out of the home, there has been a huge impact on kitchen remodeling designs. Now, there’s usually more than one person pitching in to help get a meal on the table and this means a lot when it comes to kitchen remodeling

designs? Re-assessing traffic zones and food preparation centers will be an important component of your kitchen remodeling design. It means that you will need to re-assess the traffic zones of your kitchen as well as the food preparation centers. Consider adding a second prep sink as well as a second area for dicing and chopping when kitchen remodeling. Storage is also another area that you should look at when you begin to work on kitchen remodeling. Older kitchens simply do not have enough storage. Think about older kitchens you’ve seen. You’ll probably notice that there has been no recent kitchen remodeling and as a result there is a significant shortage of space to store food items as well as pots, pans, dishes and small appliances. Adding additional storage areas in your kitchen remodeling plan can be one of the best ways to instantly raise the value of your home.

Finally, updating your appliances as part of your kitchen remodeling plan is also a good way to increase your home’s value. Homebuyers are often concerned with the reliability of appliances when they purchase a home because this can be such a big expense. After sinking a hefty portion of their savings into a mortgage, most homebuyers don’t want to turn around and take on an expensive kitchen remodeling project to replace outdated appliances. Consequently, updated appliances can be an attraction a homebuyer just can’t resist. If you’re taking the time to think about kitchen remodeling, be sure to cover this important area. Kitchen remodeling can be a great way to give your kitchen new life and vibrancy. When you look at the right kitchen remodeling elementsArticle Submission, it can also be a great way to increase the value of your home.

TIPS

Roofing Maintenance IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO

Roofs are something we rarely think about, that is until something goes wrong. A small roof problem can turn into a big home disaster if not fixed in time. If you can identify the problem quickly, the easier it will be to control the situation, saving you money. If you’re not familiar with common roofing problems, this might help you identify if you have one and how to take care of it.

Repair Costs

Roofing repair can be anything from fixing a small leak to replacing all shingles, so it’s important to identify your repairs and articulate them clearly to your contractor. Generally, the larger and more invasive the repairs need to be, the more expensive the project will cost.

1. Leaking Roof Problems

If you suspect you have a leaky roof, it’s important to act fast. Water damage over time can be costly not just to the roof, but to the entire home. One of the first signs of a leaky roof is a water stain, 10

maybe in a ceiling or an exterior wall. When you see this happen, don’t wait to start repairs. An early sign of a leaky roof might also be missing or buckling shingles

2. Roof Flashing Problems

Faulty roof flashing can be another reason why your roof is leaking and should be repaired promptly. Roof flashing is a weatherproof barrier between the different joints in the roof, such as near the chimney. Over time, it can warp or

3. Pigeon Problems On Roof

Of all the critters that might call a roof home, pigeons are the most likely. Many like to make their nest in your overhangs, vents or joints. While they may seem harmless at first, the debris they bring can damage your roof and gutters, not to mention their waste will make your roof look dirty.

4. Roof Ventilation Problems

Proper roof ventilation is needed in any

climate for overall temperature control throughout your home, specifically in the attic. Older homes may not have the proper ventilation needed to maintain temperature control for both the attic and the roof. This can cause issues for the roof as the weather changes.

5. Shingle Deterioration

As much as we hope our roof shingles last forever, weathering will eventually have their effect on your roof. The climate you live in and the slope of your roof has a lot to do with how quickly your shingles will weather. Wetter and sunnier climates can expect their shingles to deteriorate at a faster rate. On average, you can expect asphalt shingles to last between 15 to 20 years. The best way to combat any potential roofing problems is with a regular roof inspection. This can help catch any issues before they cause serious damage to your home. Consider having your roof inspected once a year to keep it in the best shape.

Don Martone of MartoneMoves is as quality as they come. Don was patient with me, a first time home buyer and now owner. He made sure I understood every step of the process. As we viewed houses together, he quickly earned my trust and respect. It became very clear how much passion Don has for his work, as well as how much knowledge he has to offer. I am very grateful I got to work with Don, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. - Marcy F., Successful Buyer

Why isn’t my offer being accepted?

by Daniel E. Giroux, Home Point Financial

Currently we are in a Sellers’ market. Inventory is short, prices are rising, and sellers are getting top dollar for their houses. The key to getting your offer accepted is being prepared and being aggressive. What does this mean? Being prepared has a few key pieces to it. When you go to look at a home, you should have the following information sorted out and ready to go.

1. Pre-approval or Pre-qualification letter.

A pre-qualification letter simply notifies the seller that you have inquired into financing options and that you should be approved to buy a home. A pre-qualification letter typically has numerous contingencies listed and does not always mean you will actually qualify for a property. A pre-approval letter tells the sellers that you have inquired into financing, supplied documentation to your lender to ensure your qualifications and your file has been run through an automated underwriting system. The pre-approval letter is a much better indicator of a buyer’s ability to purchase. At Home Point Financial, we offer “REALQUAL.” This program will take the pre-approval process to the next level. REALQUAL allows the buyer to be formally underwritten, and conditionally approved on a TBD property. This conditional approval letter notifies the seller that the buyer has been approved to buy a home and actually shows what items will still be needed to close. Typically, the only remaining items will be; Title, signed Purchase and Sales agreement, home owner’s insurance, and appraisal. Basically, this program makes you as close to a cash buyer as you can get and makes your offer much more appealing to a seller.

2. Direct contact with your lender and realtor with a plan in place.

An example of a plan would be1. What will you offer on the home if you like it? 2. When do you plan to close on the property? 3. Do you need seller paid closing costs? 4. How much is your payment with taxes and estimated insurance? 5. What’s the maximum amount you will offer on this home if your offer is not accepted upfront?

To Advertise Call Ralph Coppolino at 401-837-0239

Working with your lender and realtor to prepare, prior to viewing a home, allows you to go into the situation with confidence and a plan of action. If you demonstrate to the sellers that you have a plan to close on their home, they will be more apt to accept your offer.

3. Don’t try to low ball your offer.

In today’s market, sellers agents have done a lot of research prior to listing a home. They look at comparable properties and have a much better understanding of what a home is worth than the average person. If you see a home listed for $300,000 there is typically a good reason for that price. It was certainly not taken out of thin air. Offering $275,000 on a $300,000 listing is not going to get you that home in 99% of cases. In today’s market, we are seeing houses sell for listing price or higher. When making your offer, you should keep in mind that your monthly cost is roughly $26 dollars per $5000. Don’t make the mistake of losing the home of your dreams over a few dollars a day.

4. Do your research on your buyer’s agent and find someone that works for you. When you are looking for a new home, you need someone who understands your needs, and goals. You need someone who is responsive and aggressive when acting on your behalf. If your buyer’s agent doesn’t answer your calls, return your emails, or actively send you listings that meet your goals, it’s time to find a new agent.

5. Commit to yourself

Commit to yourself that you will only accept the highest level of service from the professionals working for you. Your lender should be available and able to answer your questions. Your real estate agent should answer your questions about properties you are interested in and should be available to you, days, nights, and weekends. The real estate agent and lender should work in synergy with you to ensure your purchase experience in enjoyable and seamless.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 401-603-3646 or email me anytime at dgiroux@homepointfinancial.com

HERE IS WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING...

PHENOMENAL! Heidi originally contacted us a few years ago, letting us know we were eligible for a mortgage interest reduction rate. She managed of all the details, putting our minds at ease as we had not done a rewrite before. This past summer (2016), Heidi again notified us that we were eligible for another rate reduction. She handled all the legalities and paper work on our time schedule. You can’t get better than Heidi for an honest, trustworthy, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable lender. - lpinto329 from 02740

She’s The Best! Buying our first home was nerve raking to my husband and I, Heidi made this process smooth and easy. Heidi was easy to get into contact with and she was very prompt on retuning calls. She was very professional and supportive during every step of the way. we truly could not have done this without her and her co-workers. We were able to close earlier than expected which was very beneficial to us. Great company and great team! - christinegreen15 from 02893
