March is our Home and Design issue. Creating a home that you want to spend all of your time in isn’t easy. The memories made within the walls of our home are what last, regardless of if our home has the latest trends or if it hasn’t been updated in years. While it is fun to look at beautiful homes and dream about renovations, we all know that the love we share within our homes is truly what matters most. In our Home issue, we are highlighting a few local businesses that can help with keeping our homes beautiful and welcoming. Experts from Blanchard and Calhoun’s family of businesses share five ways to make or save money through real estate. Hear what they have to say in our article, Making Real Estate Investments Pay Off. Hear from Jessica Velez, owner of Living Spotless, as she shares her favorite things about what she does and how she can help you have a picture perfect home for Masters week. We have two DIYs for you to make for your spring parties! Learn how to create DIY glass etching and how to make an artichoke centerpiece in our article, DIY Tablescapes. From our home to yours, we wish you love, peace and happiness.

Lock What You Leave Bobby Christine, Columbia County District Attorney, invites citizens to follow this simple motto: lock what you leave. “Over ninety-four percent of illegal entries to vehicles are made to vehicles left unlocked,” explains Bobby. “We know criminals go to neighborhoods and parking lots and only enter cars which are unlocked. If it's locked, they move on. The easiest way for you to back the blue and cut down on the number of crimes is to simply lock what you leave.”

ARTICLE BY MICHELLE W. PARNELL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA VILLEMAIN

EXP E RT H E LP | HOM E SE RVI CE S

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE CLEANING BUSINESS? Believe it or not, I love to clean and what better way to use my natural joy of cleaning than to help others. Following my baby sister’s greatest accomplishments, here I am 5 years later. It wasn’t something that I needed to learn, but I did master how to do it the right way. Also, it gives me the opportunity to provide jobs in our community. Many of us want a daytime job so we can spend time with our kiddos and we provide that for our staff. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WHAT YOU DO? I think it’s the trustworthy friendships we build with our customers and our staff. Knowing that we’re helping families and having customers who appreciate what we do every day is icing on the cake. I love the feedback we get on a daily basis, even through fun emojis. For many, their favorite day of the week is CLEANING DAY. WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER? We offer routine scheduled cleanings, seasonal deep cleaning, cleanings for moving into or out of a home, and more. It’s really whatever fits our customers’ needs. I do an initial walkthrough with the client and we customize their cleaning checklist, schedule, and even the types of cleaning products we use at their home, which can be changed based on allergies and preferences. Then we touch all bases every time we go to a home. Although we do mostly residential, we offer office cleanings as well. WHAT SPECIAL SERVICES DO YOU OFFER FOR MASTERS RENTALS? Because you know guests are already having a great time at the Masters, you want to make their stay memorable as well. You always want renters to have a good experience in their homes. So we go in

and help clients prepare a checklist and help them stage and spruce things up before their guests arrive. Then during the rental week, we maintain their homes every day. We do basic cleaning, make sure the beds are made, replace and launder linens, and basically tidy up while the guests are at the tournament. Essentially the most important part of our job during Masters Week is taking care of our clients’ homes. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE YOUR CLEANING TEAMS? Our staff works in teams, with two people cleaning together and a checklist on hand. I think customers feel better knowing that there is a team going in rather than an individual. We like to focus on the safety of our team, so it helps when another teammate tags along. I also think the quality of work is better when two people share the task. We do background checks, drug screenings, and I train each one of our staff myself. At the end of the day, it’s the relationship that our staff has with our customers that is really important. The ladies go in, get the job done, and build relationships with the customers so that they’re no longer “my housekeeper”, clients know them by name and they have a special relationship. WHAT’S A FAVORITE WAY YOU GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY? I think our level of service is essential to everyone, so we participate in Cleaning for a Reason. When patients are undergoing cancer treatment, we schedule two free cleanings in the span of two months, occasionally extending cleanings to help families adjust to new ways. It’s our way to serve the community. To set up a consultation with Jessica and develop a cleaning schedule with Living Spotless, visit livingspotlessclean.com or call 706-305-9100.

Making Real Estate Investments Pay Off EXPERTS FROM BLANCHARD AND CALHOUN’S FAMILY OF BUSINESSES SHARE FIVE WAYS TO MAKE OR SAVE MONEY THROUGH REAL ESTATE

ARTICLE BY MICHELLE W. PARNELL PHOTOGRAPHY BY JARIUS SMITH

The real estate industry provides a wide range of opportunities for investment and financial gain. “Home ownership and investing in real estate is one way of improving one’s financial future and giving one financial security,” explains Susan Salisbury, top selling agent with Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Co. “Plus, the real estate market is open to all age groups and all income levels.” According to Susan, there are five great ways to save or make money through real estate and Blanchard and Calhoun’s family of businesses, which has been serving the local community for over a century, can help with each one. “By working with me,” shares Susan, “it’s an opportunity for me to help somebody purchase a home, invest in real estate, or sell their home for top dollar while introducing them to Blanchard and Calhoun’s family of businesses.” The partnership results in smooth transactions and superior customer service.

“When you own a home, you make money by updating and maintaining your property, which increases the property’s value. When one does want to sell the house, it creates a smooth and quick transaction and top dollar sales price.” — Susan Salisbur y

Property Ownership “The main way somebody can make money or save money with real estate is through property ownership,” says Susan. “When you own a home, you make money by updating and maintaining your property, which increases the property’s value. When one does want to sell the house, it creates a smooth and quick transaction and top dollar sales price.” Mortgage Interest Rates Locking in the best interest rates available is essential for real estate investors. “Now is a great time to make purchases in the real estate market,” says Melissa Fulghum of Augusta Mortgage Company. “We are starting to see an increase of rates. However, rates are still good and very affordable!” Homeowner’s Insurance “At Blanchard & Calhoun Insurance Agency, we represent over fifteen A-rated insurance companies,” explains Brad Thomas, Account Executive with Blanchard & Calhoun Insurance Agency. “Our independent agents can help you compare coverage and premium options with many top-rated insurance companies to find the solution that is right for you. Bundling your insurance allows you to obtain the best premium discounts and helps avoid unnecessary gaps in coverage.”

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | HOME + DE S I GN

Investment Properties Investment properties can take many different forms. “You can either flip the property and make money on the resale or you can buy the property and then have it as a rental property,” says Susan. “Short-term rental property, such as an Airbnb, is another income stream plus the property goes up in value over time. Our property management department can manage the property for somebody, and the person gets the benefit of the increased equity in the home and the income stream from the rent with none of the headaches.” Commercial Property Investment “When it comes to investment property, think outside of the box and create opportunities,” says Scott Brantley, a Commercial Agent with the Beman Group at Blanchard and Calhoun’s Commercial Division. “You could purchase a residential property in a commercial corridor, have it rezoned, then lease or sell it as a professional office. You could also buy a larger building and divide it to have several different size spaces and appeal to multiple tenants versus one larger tenant. A large number of deals we’ve done weren’t on the market to start with or were originally planned to be something else.” For more information on pursuing real estate investment in any form, contact Susan at SSalisbury@blanchardandcalhoun.com or by calling 317-847-7216 or 706-868-1000.
