Avoid Home Buyer’s

remorse in 5 steps

Have you ever bought something but then later on, found yourself regretting that purchase decision? Well, it’s no big deal when you can easily return or exchange something like a pair of pants or even a designer purse. A house, on the other hand, is much more permanent. It’s not only the largest investment you’ll ever make, but it’s also the place you’ll come home to every day, and where you’ll spend years making life memories as your family grows.

There may be increasing pressure to make a quick decision in today’s fast-paced and competitive real estate market, but it’s important to stay grounded throughout the home buying process. Before you try to compete with other interested buyers and snag that “hot listing”, take a breath and follow these steps.

Even after you have made the decision to buy a specific home, don’t let yourself overlook major issues. For example, if the inspector finds a cracked foundation or dry rot in the floor joists, you should either back out of the deal or get the price lowered to reflect the cost of the repairs.

4. keep A cleAr HeAd.

1. stick to your Home requirements.

Before you even start your search, make a list of your “must-haves” in your new home. If having a 2-car garage is on the list but the house you’re looking at only has a 1-car garage, move on.

Don’t let yourself settle for something less and then end up making expensive renovations because it’s not exactly what you wanted.

2. know wHere you’ll compromise.

3. stAnd your ground.

Note any items that are on your home wish-list, but you could live without. There should be at least a couple home features that you and your partner or spouse can compromise on.

If you get stuck in a bidding war with another buyer, you need to ask yourself if you really want the house or if you just want to win the fight. The last thing you want to do is end up overpaying for a house that doesn’t completely satisfy all your needs.

5. love tHe Home’s proximity.

You can change many things about a home, but you can’t change the location. Think about what you do everyday in regards to where you live. This includes where you work, where you have to take the kids to school, and where you do things for fun.

These are all very important factors to consider when buying a home and most importantly, avoiding home buyer’s remorse. Find a home you’ll love living in every day. The less you want to change, the better!

11/11/15 11:10 AM

I have learned from personal experience that it doesn’t take much for my allergies to go haywire from the inevitable dust that builds up in my apartment at supersonic speed. Admittedly, this is also thanks to a little basset hound/beagle mix by the name of Charlie Bronson getting hair everywhere (as cute as he may be!).

Whether you have a pet or not, there is dust-free light at the end of the tunnel! You’re not alone, either – allergies affect more than 20% of Americans. In this post, we’ll go over specific ways to free your home of allergens so you and your family can finally breathe cleaner air. Here are some trusty guidelines to get you started.

8 Ways to

Allergy Proof

Your Home

87732.14.2.028.indd 2

11/11/15 11:15 AM

1. Lay down doormats.

In each entryway of your home, lay down two doormats – one on the inside and one on the outside. This helps prevent allergens from being tracked inside.

Another alternative is to have your family and guests remove their shoes when they enter your home. Otherwise, allergens are just spread around.

5. Say bye-bye to drapes Consider switching from curtains to blinds or shades because they hold much fewer allergens. However, if you insist on having drapes, make sure they’re machine washable since those are easier to keep dust-free.

6. Get an air purifier filter

2. Upgrade your vacuum cleaner

From cooking fumes and cleaning vapors to dust and pet dander, there are so many different types of particles that can pollute the air inside your home. Air purifiers can be very effective in helping reduce allergens in the air, but just make sure you stay away from those producing ozone. We recommend using one with a HEPA filter.

If you don’t have one already, make sure your vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter. These are specifically made to trap particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Basically, they’ll be able to capture the majority of allergens.

3. Replace air filters

7. Use a hygrometer to measure humidity levels

Remember to always clean or replace the air filters in your heating or cooling system as often as required. You can refer to the manufacturers’ instructions regarding when to change them and how often.

4. Beware of mold Minimizing mold, especially in your bathroom, is one of the most effective ways to lessen allergens. With more than 100,000 species of mold in the world, the last thing you want is for your bathroom to turn into a war zone. Clean regularly and remind yourself to dry off surfaces that collect standing water. Also, it’s important that your bathroom has good ventilation. Every few years, you should replace any broken tiles and re-caulk sinks and tubs. This keeps mold from growing behind the walls.

By investing in a hygrometer, you’ll discover the exact moisture levels in your home. Take a measurement in each room and if the reading is above 60 percent, you may consider using a dehumidifier. High humidity can lead to mold growth, so this is your best tactic to prevent that.

8. Ditch the carpet Carpet does a great job of trapping in countless allergens, so it’s a good idea to replace your carpeting with hardwood or linoleum flooring. If that’s not an option, use low-pile carpeting instead of high-pile.

Be sure to vacuum at least once a week and shampoo your carpet frequently.
