STEP UP YOUR
HOME SECURITY
BY HIRING A HOME WATCH SERVICE You’ve definitely heard of, and might even have, a home security system. You’ve likely also heard of services that come in and take care of a pet or walk them while the home owner is away. But what about hiring someone trustworthy to keep an eye on the entire property?
That’s where a home watching service comes in, and they are becoming a prolific business, which calls for some heightened awareness on the part of the consumer. Well-meaning neighbors and friends may be happy to check on things while you’re away, but a home watching service does a lot more than bring in your mail and turn the lights on and off. A home watch service is especially important and helpful if someone has a vacation property or rental property they visit only seasonally.
y
Exterior signs of damage, wear and tear, and animal/pest intrusions.
y
Landscaping, exterior lighting and patio/ porch areas to ensure everything is in its right place and working correctly.
Second home owners and rental property owners who are away from their properties (such as in another city or state) for extended periods of time would especially benefit from someone keeping a close and watchful eye on the property. Home watch firms provide myriad services while they’re watching your home, and even inspect your house for things that might not have happened during their watch, checking out areas such as:
y
The interior of your home, paying special attention to ensure your appliances, HVAC units and water heater are in good condition.
y y
Test lights and replace bulbs if needed. Thoroughly inspect the attic, garage and crawl spaces.
y y
Signs of wood rot on the house. Length of trees to ensure they are trimmed away from the house.
y
Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and home security system if installed.
y
Paint condition. No leaks in the house, especially in the attic and around windows.
y
Ensure the property is properly secured and protected.
Some home watch professionals also offer prearrival home preparations and cleanings, postdeparture cleaning, hurricane and flooding notifications, storm preparations and more. So, upgrade the security of your home near or far by contracting a home watch service. If you do decide to contract a home watch
service, consider one that is accredited through the National Home Watch Association (NHWA), which sets standards and provides accreditation for home watch services in the U.S. and Canada. Visit their website, to find a trusted home watch service near you.

Reasons You Should Consider Buying a New Home House hunting can be fun in the beginning. But now it seems like it’s dragging on. You’re exhausted. It seems like the search will never end and each home you view isn’t how you envisioned it. Whatever the reason: there aren’t enough bedrooms, or the home just isn’t your style. Face it - It’s tough to say you’re going to spend big bucks for a place that you just aren’t 100 percent in love with.
However, there is another option. You can always build. Building a new home offers an array of options. You can customize it the way you like and plan it to your exact specifications. It gives you the freedom to make it yours- as opposed to building off someone else’s choices and ideas. Need some more convincing? Here other top reasons why you should build your new home: You get to choose the neighborhood. Maybe you saw the perfect home, but the neighborhood was anything but ideal. It’s all about location, location, location! For some, location is even more important than what’s inside the home itself. When you build your own home, you get to choose the neighborhood. The options are endless, which means you’ll get both the house you like and the ideal neighborhood you want. You create the house layout. Again, it’s all about customization. When building a new home, you get to set things to your exact specifications. Do you want an open-concept home? You got it. Do you have a vision about how the kitchen will be set up? Voice it. Building a new home means you can pick and choose when it comes to the layout of the house and floor plans. You get to select flooring, paint colors, and more! Building a new home means customization! It can be fun, and it can also help you feel like you have more ownership over your home. You become more immersed in the building and design process, which can, help you understand your home more and allow you to create a space you truly love.
Newer energy-efficient systems will save you money. When it comes to older homes, water and electrical systems often aren’t up to par with the newest technology. Things like air conditioning, heat and water end up costing way more in an older home. In a new home, you can select the most energy efficient systems. This will help you save money on those monthly bills and in the long run. It’s brand new, meaning no repairs are needed—at least not anytime soon. Older homes frequently come with their fair share of repairs and necessary upgrades. With all the maintenance, suddenly owning a home can feel like a part-time job. When you build a new home, everything is new. You likely won’t have to pay for repairs or renovations for years to come. This means you’ll be able to sit back and relax and enjoy your new digs!
Start the process of building your new home today and take the first step towards your dream home!

Ready to Look for Your First Home?
Some Tips to Get You on Your Way You’re finally ready to make the leap from renting into home ownership, which is a very exciting time. But, hey, let’s face it—it can also be overwhelming, and even a little scary. But don’t worry, with the right preparation, you’ll be ready to take the home search head-on and find the perfect home for you.
Here are some helpful ways to prepare yourself for your first house hunt: Take a class. There are many first-time homebuyer education courses available, many of which are offered online. They provide potential homebuyers with detailed information, advice and budgeting tips on how to purchase a home. And upon completion, some provide a homebuyer certificate, which may allow consumers loan products that might otherwise be out of their grasp.
Save, save, save. And then save some more. Prospective homebuyers need to save as much as possible toward the purchase price of the house and closing costs. Though minimum down payments start around 5 percent, the greater the down payment the more favorable the borrowing terms. If you can purchase a home with at least 20 percent down, you probably will save even more because you won’t need to buy private mortgage insurance (PMI).
Find an agent. First-timers should ask around or look online to find a trusted real estate agent. An agent’s job is to know how much properties are worth, facilitate the sale process and bring an offer to the seller’s agent—and help guide you along the way.
Research your mortgage options. There are a lot of mortgage options out there, each with their individual pros and cons. If you’ re having trouble saving up for a larger down payment, check out: x Conventional mortgages that conform to standards set by governmentsponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac., which require as little as 3 percent down. x Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, which permit down payments as low as 3.5 percent. x Veteran Affairs (VA) loans, which sometimes require no down payment at all. Shopping around for your mortgage can lead to real savings. Saving even a quarter of a point in interest saves thousands of dollars over the life of a loan.
now that you know How to prepare, it’s time to get out there and start hunting for your first home!

MOVING WITH YOUR KIDS: WHAT MATTERS MOST
Home buying can be stressful enough. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for a new home, there are many factors in the process that can be worrisome and even a pain. And if you have children, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the major considerations of your home buying process and can add to the stress.
Families with children under the age of 18 are confronted with a unique set of needs that play out in the home-buying and -selling process. Those include: A larger home. Buyers with children tend to purchase larger homes than their childfree counterparts. The average buyer with children under 18 purchases a 2,100-squarefoot home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the average buyer with no children chooses a 1,750-square-foot home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both groups prefer a single-family, detached house. Factoring in schools. The quality of a neighborhood school district is very important to buyers with children, while it probably isn’t much of a consideration to those without. In addition to the schools themselves, convenience and proximity to them is important as well. Childcare. Childcare expenses can certainly delay the process of buying a home. Those expenses also have an impact on the buying process, forcing buyers with children to make compromises on the house they purchase, whether it’s the size of the home, the price of the home or the condition of the home.
You may have to sell if your family grows. Families with children are also more likely to sell their homes as they outgrow their current home – whether it be from having more children, or children growing up and needing more space. And if you sell, you might have to sell more quickly. Urgent is the word that most often describes the selling situation of sellers with children. If you must enroll a child in a new school, or only have the summer to move, major decisions and moves will have to be made at a much faster pace.
Having children is wonderful, and it’s exciting to move into a new house that your family can call home. But it’s important to consider these factors during your search and when planning so that everything can go as smoothly as possible.

Don’t Wait for Winter
Service Your Furnace or Boiler Now Late fall or early winter is the time most of us begin to crank up our heat, hoping to get toasty right away. But if you have a boiler or furnace, that heat could not be working come the chilly part of the year. That’s why it’s important not to wait until the last minute to service your heating system.
L ots of homeowners have good
intentions when it comes to scheduling maintenance, but it’s easy to forget things like tune-ups when your equipment is still operating correctly. It only becomes an issue when something breaks or fails. The last thing anyone wants however, is to be without heat when the temperatures are below freezing. So, while its on your mind now, schedule a tune-up for your furnace or boiler. You’ll also beat the crowd in getting it done now, as opposed to waiting until the weather cools. Additionally, there’s many other reasons to tune up your system: Prevent frozen pipes. It’s not unusual for homeowners to lower the thermostat while they’re away from home. However, residents should maintain a regular temperature in their home—around 65 degrees—to avoid bursting or frozen pipes.
It prolongs the life of your furnace. Regular maintenance can keep your furnace working at maximum efficiency and actually lengthen the life of the equipment. And you might not know this but skipping annual maintenance can often void a manufacturer’s warranty. So not only are you hurting the system, you’re potentially hurting your wallet. It helps you stay safe. Most furnaces are gas-burning, which produces carbon monoxide. A leak could prove dangerous or even fatal. During routine maintenance, a technician will take preventative measures to ensure this can’t happen, such as changing the filter and giving the furnace a thorough cleaning. Install a carbon monoxide detector as well if you don’t have one already. So, before the cold weather comes in the coming months, contact your local heating company to come perform a furnace or boiler check-up. You’ll thank yourself later.
