The fall season is here, but before you know it the cold winter will approach! Here are some home care ideas to focus on during the fall season.
1. Gutters: The leaves are beginning to fall so this is the perfect time to clean your gutters and inspect the downspouts and clear them of any items that have fallen down into them.
2. Check for Drafts: With the winter season approaching, cooler temperatures will begin to roll in. Checking for drafts along the edge of windows, doors, and molding will help keep you warmer and keeps your utility bills down, as the winter approaches.
3. Humidifier Maintenance: It is a good idea to clean and adjust the humidifier on the furnace. You can replace the old filters or soak the interiors with un-distilled white vinegar and scrub them with a soft brush.
In a time of choked credit and painfully low CD rates, some home owners and their parents are cutting financial institutions out of the mortgage picture and banking on each other.
The Bank of Mom and Dad can earn 4% or 5% on cash savings by holding the mortgage on the kids’ property. This symbiotic lending gives parents a source of income that beats the rate of return of, say, a money market fund. For younger folks who need a loan, it’s a good way to secure hassle-free financing at a reasonable rate.
Of course, this family lending only works if Mom and Dad have enough cash to make the mortgage, and the kids have the wherewithal to make monthly payments. But if viewed and conducted correctly, family lending is a win-win arrangement; if not, Sunday dinners will be awkward! Continue reading →
Regular home maintenance is key to preserving the value of your house and property.
“It’s the little things that tend to trip up people,” says Frank Lesh, former president of the American Society of Home Inspectors and owner of Home Sweet Home Inspection Co. in Chicago. “Some cracked caulk around the windows, or maybe a furnace filter that hasn’t been changed in awhile. It may not seem like much, but behind that caulk, water could get into your sheathing, causing mold and rot. Before you know it, you’re looking at a $5,000 repair that could have been prevented by a $4 tube of caulk and a half hour of your time.”
Maintenance affects property value
Outright damage to your house is just one of the consequences of neglected maintenance. Without regular upkeep, overall property values are affected. Continue reading →
Just a short snapshot of the Lone Jack Parade which was the start of the celebration of the American Civil War Commemoration. Take a close look and you will see Carolyn in the parade! (Hint: on a horse with a flag!) Horses are one of her favorite past times. Nice community to join in with some old time fun! Also liked to see quite a few of our current and past clients in the parade……
USDA’s single family guarantee loan program was doubled this year to $24 billion. Therefore, instead of running out of funds before their fiscal year ends, the program still has money available. This program provides a great opportunity for buyers to purchase in a rural/suburban area with no money down. According to the stipulations: “ Applicants for loans may have an income of up to 115% of the median income for the area. Area income limits for this program are here. Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance. In addition, applicants must have reasonable credit histories.”
As of October 1st, the monthly mortgage insurance associated with USDA loans will be increasing 0.3 percent. This increase may affect the eligibility of some borrowers as the monthly payment will go up. Get out before October 1st and BUY – take advantage of this opportunity!
"This Thanksgiving we know what we'll be thankful for: having the great fortune of finding two such outstanding realtors to sell our house. Your hard work, knowledge, and professionalism really impressed us. We wanted to tell you how much we appreciated how you made a difficult sale as painless as possible for us, and we would be glad to serve as a reference if needed. Bill and Pat
"Thank you so much for helping me sell my Lone Jack property. Examples of how you helped: 1)Outstanding advice on staging home & land. 2)Continued support of my efforts and suggestions to sell the property. 3)Professionalism you showed in the final negotiations and sale of the property. Thanks again for your help." Jan
"My wife and I had been looking for property in the Lone Jack area. We had been seeing Carolyn’s and Karen’s signs everywhere. It was apparent after working with Karen why they had so many listings in the outlying areas of Jackson County and Cass County. Karen was very professional and very responsive always returning calls and working with us until we found what we were looking for. I have and will continue to send my referrals to them." John and Debbie
"Karen and Carolyn give new meaning to the term professionals. They truly went above and beyond our expectations in helping us find and purchase our dream home. Not only did they communicate with our builder to make sure the construction process stayed on schedule, but they also made sure the selling of our previous home went smoothly. That effort turned what could have been a stressful situation into an enjoyable one. We would highly recommend Carolyn and Karen to anyone!" Phil and Jenny
