So You Want To PurchaseYour First Home...

Many renters have a fear of home ownership but would still like to take the plunge. Talking to a good mortgage lender may ease your fears. They will let you know where you stand on your credit and can either assist you with a plan to saving so you can purchase or pre-approve you for a loan up to a specific amount.

If you don't know how to find a good lender talk with your Real Estate agent and they usually have several mortgage lenders they can refer you to depending on your specific needs. 

If you don't have a Real Estate agent you can check with friends, family, or co-workers and see who they have used and recommend. 

It is always best to know how much you can afford before looking at homes, this will avoid a lot of time and disappointment if you are looking in a price range that is too high. Your agent will show you homes within your range and the area you would like to live in, and help explain the home purchasing process ie: lender, title company, inspections, escrow, closing. etc. 

Recap:
            • Find the right Real Estate Agent & Lender
            • Check your credit report and get pre-approved
            • Find out how much you can afford
            • Find the right home and make an offer
            • Go through the escrow process
            • Close on your home
            • Move In!

Happier Hardwood Floors


Hardwood floors make for a beautiful, stunning addition to your home. However, they can bring new cleaning and maintenance challenges that aren’t present with carpet. Here are some tips for simple, efficient, and thorough hardwood floor cleaning.



Make the job easier Place mats on either side of your exterior doors and always remove your shoes before entering your home—and make sure your guests do the same. Protect the floors by placing felt (or similar) protectors on the feet of your furniture, and use area rugs to designate play areas for the kids. This will reduce extra dirt, dust, and floor scratches.

Weekly cleaning Sweeping with a standard broom will remove some dirt and dust, but not as much as a mop, wipe, or broom that’s been treated with a dusting agent such as a Swiffer. You could also invest in a vacuum that is designed for hardwood floors. Just be sure that the vacuum won’t leave scratches!

Deeper cleaning Regular sweeping will remove most dirt and dust, but occasionally you’ll need to give the floors a deeper cleaning to remove the dirt and grime that builds up in your floors’ seams. Use a wood-cleaning soap to thoroughly mop your floors, but make sure the mop isn’t sopping wet—you don’t want to leave standing water.

Spots and scuffs Most of the marks that occasionally show up on your floors, such as scuffs from rubber soles on boots and shoes—can be wiped away with a rag or very fine steel wool.
