3 Quick Tips to Make Buyers Fall in Love With Your Home   Do you like visiting model homes? Most people do. Did you ever think about why visiting model homes is enjoyable? (It’s more than just liking the décor.) Model homes are designed and set up to evoke an emotional connection. Visitors feel immediately welcomed. And leave thinking: “gosh, I’d love to live there!” Let’s talk about 3 quick things you can do to make your home feel like a “model home” to prospective buyers. Declutter & Clean. Picture a model home. One thing that will always be missing is clutter. No toys on the floor. No laundry piled high on the sofa or bed. Everything is put away, where it belongs. Also rooms are laid out to feel “big.” Typically rooms have less furniture than might be in a home where someone actually lives.

Foundations matter. The foundation of a home really can make a difference. Many people have a preference of what type of foundations are the best and that is OK. What matters most is that the foundation is in good condition and doing its job correctly.

I have noticed in my career that there are some area’s that have foundation issues that cause more concern than others. Foundation issues can be an expensive fix and sometimes the issue could have been prevented by adding more drainage away from the house. There are many issues a foundation faces. One of the big one that I have seen over the past few months is water issues.

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I was thinking I would relax a little. I should have known better. Off to the races trying to get ready for next week and all the activity going on. Last summer I had a little calf that was orphaned. We brought him to the house and I named him Skunkzilla. He is now getting ready to start the Ruthie oxen training school. He is not to happy about the halter, but he loves the grain! So, this afternoon we are going to go for a nice walk around the barn…. I don’t think any farther would do any good for he could drag me back!  

Happy Saturday! It is a busy day here today. Between Real Estate and Ranching I think I am going to hit my 10,000 steps before 2! Taking a quick break to wish you all a happy Saturday! I think instead of busy I should say Crazy. Seeing a lot of thing’s I haven’t seen for years or ever in my short life! The wind is howling today so that is making the showings of land a little tricky but at least I am able to regain my senses in the truck! Stay safe and have a great day!
