go glossy
Borrow inspiration from Londons
lovely row houses, whose owners
assert their individuality by painting
their doors in high-gloss colors. The
reflective sheen of a royal blue, deep
green, crimson, or whatever color you
like will ensure your house stands out
from the pack.
please knock
Doorbells may be the norm, but a
hefty knocker is a classic that will never
run out of battery life, and another opportunity to express yourself (whatever
your favorite animal or insect is, theres
a door-knocker in its image).
ever-greenery
Boxwoods are always tidy-looking,
the definition of easy upkeep. A pair
on either side of the door is traditional, but a singleton is good, too. About
$25 at garden centers. In cold climates, make sure pots are frost-proof
(polyethylene urns and boxes mimic
terracotta and wood to perfection).
numbers game
Make sure your house number is
clearly visible. Thats of prime importance if you want your guests to arrive
and your pizza to be hot. Stick-on vinyl numbers in a variety of fonts make
it easy, starting at about $4 per digit.
foot traffic
A hardworking mat for wiping
muddy feet is a must. A thick coir mat
can be had at the hardware store for
less than $20. Even fancier varieties
can be found well under $50.
snail mail
Mailboxes run the gamut from
kitschy roadside novelties masquerading as dogs, fish, or what-have-you
to sober black lockboxes mounted
alongside the front door. Whichever
way you go, make sure yours is standing or hanging straight, with a secure
closure, and no dings or dents. The
mail carrier will thank you.

selling
tips to keep
in mind
when selling
your home
often take
the place of logic and reason
when it comes to pricing their
home for sale. Many times, sellers have
their own ideas regarding a solid pricing
strategy when working with an agent to set
a sales price for their home. Below are six
pricing mistakes that put sellers at risk.
but i paid
my home is worth
because
the internet said so
As opportunities for market research are
made available to sellers, agents are forced
to know the housing market well and defend their pricing and marketing plans. The
internet has given sellers more leverage by
making agents accountable for the information they provide. It has not taken the
place of the training and specific market
insight an agent can provide.
New Mexico is also a non-disclosure
state and property sales prices are not provided to the public. So, that pricing information a seller may see on that third party site
could have come from anywhere. Pricing
a home for sale is not a science, but it does
take careful skill and training. Real estate
agents are still a valuable resources when
looking to create a solid pricing plan.

Director for ERA Sellers & Buyers Real Estate

real estate industry, often writing about how
real estate agents can improve their service to

apartments
pointers for
apartment
dwellers who
want pets
may be hesitant to do
so while renting. Some might not
want to pay additional fees on top
of their normal security deposits,
while others may fear that pets
will cause damage to homes their
owners dont own, leading to
potentially costly repairs down the
road. Renters should know that its
both possible and even common
for people who rent to have pets.
According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS),
72 percent of American families
who rent their homes have pets.
While it might take a little extra
work to find pet-friendly apartments, the lasting rewards of pet
ownership could outweigh any
brief hurdles renters may have to
clear as they search for pet-friendly
living arrangements.
Animal lovers who rent but
want pets may need to move out
of their current apartments before they can welcome pets into
their families. As that process
begins, renters can take steps
to ensure they find a place both
they and their future pets will
find welcoming.
get it in writing
Before signing a lease, read it
carefully to make sure it clearly
spells out that you are allowed to
have a pet. Read any restrictions
regarding the type of pet and the
size of pet youre allowed to have.
For example, many landlords who
allow dogs will only allow dogs
up to a certain weight. If you have
your heart set on a large breed
like great danes, then an apartment that only allows dogs that
weigh 25 pounds or less wont be
a good fit.
Read the terms regarding pets
carefully so you know exactly
what you can and cannot have
and exactly how much you will
have to pay to bring pets into your
new home. If there are no terms
regarding pets in the lease, ask
that specific terms be added before
you sign. Doing so will protect you
down the road should the landlord
discover any pet-related damage
when you move out.
do your homework
If you have never before
owned a pet, then speak with
a local veterinarian regarding
your work schedule, your living
arrangements and your expectations as a pet owner. The HSUS
notes that problems with housing
are the leading reason pets end
up homeless. While no pet owner
envisions taking their pets to a
shelter and giving the animals up
for adoption, such scenarios play
out every day. By speaking with
vets and local pet professionals,
you can adopt the right pet for
you and your apartment, greatly
reducing the chances that you
will be forced to give the pet up
in the future.
Animal lovers who rent their
homes can still welcome pets into
their families. For more pointers
on renting and pet ownership,

are
little crystal bowls and platters
filled with chocolate chunk
cookies and other little treats. Its one
of the ways, said division president
Jennifer Greenwood, that company
tries engage a feeling of friendliness
for its customers.
There are any number of mysterious doings connected with buying a
home, of which most people have no
clue other than having to affix their
autograph to a dizzying number of
official-looking documents. Naturally,
that comes with a certain amount of
ill-at-ease as customers wade through
the process. So, just perhaps, a nibble
and a nosh of sweetness might help
alleviate a tad bit of that angst.
It certainly cant hurt, and neither
can the opportunity to come into the
final aspect of the mortgage process
pre-loaded with information the
company provides as it maneuvers its
way through its role. For almost all
customers, buying a house is the biggest investment they will ever make,
Greenwood said. And were at the
end of the real estate transaction. So
were trying to do our best to make
everybody feel comfortable and at ease
with what is going on.

local leadership
For Greenwood, its something of
a departure from where she started as
a fresh-out-of-school graduate of the
peace of mind
And one of the ways to better help
customers is through the website
where the progress of the entire transaction can be tracked, and all pertinent
information is online so the parties
can be completely informed before the
final signing, Greenwood said. This
just adds additional peace of mind
when they can know whats going on
with everything, she said. And it
helps when they can read everything
beforehand so they know and understand what theyre signing.
And once thats done, well, then
its time for a cookie or two.
