  • Fall Preparations

     Fall Preparations around the house

     

    The days are getting shorter, there’s a chill in the air and the leaves are starting to turn magnificent colors. Yes, it’s that time of year again! It happens like clock work, and even though we know what needs to be done around the house, sometimes things slip our minds or we just can’t find the time. For instance. How long ago did you clean out your gutters or pressure wash your driveway? Little things like that can fall through the cracks and become a big problem when the rain starts to fall.

        Ideally, right now, is the time to get those gutters clear of debris if you haven’t already. I’m sure you’re thinking, “What’s the point, the leaves are about to fall and clog them up again anyway?” Well, then look at it this way, you’ll at least make room for the fallen leaves and you’ll clean them out while it’s still dry out. Sure, you might have to do it again depending on your location, but that’s the joy of owning your own home.

        When was the last time you have your roof inspected? Making time for fall preparations is a necessity for the maintenance of your biggest investment.  Now is a Great time to make sure there are no surprises come November.

         If you want to prolong the life of your patio furniture, get it stored away in a clean dry place.

         Everyone’s heard of spring cleaning, but no one really talks about “Autumn cleaning,” and there is so much to do around the house to prepare for the cold days ahead. Getting it done now while there’s still sunny days is ideal and if you divide up the chores, you can still get out and enjoy the last few weeks of great Pacific Northwest weather.

  • Get your Equity working!

    Equity is important. It’s the reason to invest in real estate in the first place. Have you ever dreamed of owning real estate, growing your equity with each year. Well now is a great time to think of the rewards of selling and getting that equity to work for you. Whether it’s home improvement time or perhaps a young adult off to an expensive college, time to downsize or whatever the reason.

    The Portland area market is constantly changing, but now we are beginning to see the start of a trend in price declines in the real estate re-sale market. As this trend picks up, it will possibly diminish the equity you have in your home. Waiting to sell a home in Portland, OR, for example, can result in a loss of equity and a loss of net value. Can you afford to take another financial hit after recovering from the last market crash? Are you ready to sell now instead and save yourself time and headaches down the road?

    There are many reasons that make great financial sense when deciding when to sell a home and liquidate your equity. Whether you want to relocate to better schools or progressive job markets, are ready to downsize, or want to have a more secure retirement, following the rule of investing—maximizing your equity—and cashing out at the right time will be one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your lifetime.

    One good way to beat the market trends is to consider a fast house sale. You can sell your home fast, cut through a lot of red tape, avoid broker and agent fees and make even more money on the sales of your property.

  • Selling vacant homes

    So you’ve got an extra house. It’s vacant, taking up your time and energy, but for what? Will you be renting it out or perhaps putting it on the market? Whatever your decision will be, you’ll most definitely be spending some big money in preparations.

    Renters require a certain amount of time, energy and patience and having the house up to a “rental satisfaction” will mean making sure everything is in working order. Selling a house will take even more attention as now you are not only considering the renters, you have to consider your realtor and what they would want you to do to get it into sale shape, the inspection company, who will tell you everything tiny thing that needs fixing and the new buyer who might insist on a new roof or new carpets before they make an offer. There are plenty of things to consider.

    Your vacant house can also be subject to vandalism, pest infestation, dry rot, overgrown vegetation etc. Without proper maintenance, even a nice home can become subject to a multitude of problems. Owning a vacant house can be a headache on so many levels.

    So now you’ve decided that the vacant home needs to go, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money out of your pocket. So why not consider a cash sale. We buy houses, vacant homes, lots and land with no money out of your pocket. We even take care of the garbage.
