ATHERINE RCHILA

I am a Las Vegas real estate agent who works with home buyers, sellers, and investors. After attending College of Southern Nevada, I had experience in the segment of business and through other avenues in life I found myself inspired with a passion for real estate My enthusiasm for helping others and ability to identify helps me connect with clients and provide them with the best service possible.

As a Las Vegas native, I witnessed its great transformation – from a small deserted town into a bustling metropolitan city that retains its small-town feel My intimate knowledge of this region, and my experiences of having lived here all of my life give me a desire to make my home, your home When I'm not assisting my real estate clients, I enjoy spending time with family, volunteering, traveling with friends.

REFRESHYOURLANDSCAPING

September is one of the best months for planting in the Las Vegas valley Trim shrubs, remove dead summer plants, refresh mulch, and prepare flower beds for cooler season landscaping that will thrive through fall

Take advantage of comfortable weather by pressure washing patios, cleaning outdoor furniture, replacing worn cushions, and adding seasonal planters or lighting A refreshed outdoor space is perfect for entertaining throughout the fall.

Test every smoke detector in your home and replace batteries if necessary. If your home has carbon monoxide detectors, verify they're functioning properly as heating systems begin seeing more use later in the season.

Declutter storage areas, organize your pantry, deep clean high traffic spaces, and complete small maintenance projects before the busy holiday season arrives Taking care of these tasks now makes entertaining guests much easier later in the year
