Moving? Things to Consider Before Packing Begins

Most of us at some point in our lives have relocated. Whether it was moving to a new house with our family as a child or packing up and heading across state for college, we all can appreciate how much effort goes into the prepping, planning and packing. Wonderful, new beginnings await us when we move! Here are some handy tips to relieve some of the stress of moving, helping you enjoy the process and this exciting time instead.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5110″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992121786{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Know you’re moving? Organize all of the paperwork

It’s important to keep all paperwork in the same spot so you don’t spend time looking for it when a question about the move surfaces. Did you hire movers? Have their information on hand. Is your new house a rental? Make sure you have contact information in case something goes awry upon arrival and you can’t access your new apartment or home. By keeping all moving documents in one spot, you’ll not only avoid the stress of not being able to find something in a jiffy but also enjoy a more efficient move from start to finish.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5111″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992384000{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

To Do Lists are Key!

As with any big event, keeping a list of “to-do’s” is crucial. You wouldn’t plan your daughter’s engagement party with no planning, invitees, or reservations, would you? With a move, it’s also important to keep track of the steps involved throughout the process. In many cases, it’s simply a good idea to keep a running list of things you may need to remember at a later time. This list can hold important numbers, due dates and more. It’s just one more way to stay organized during a very busy but exciting time.

Take Pictures

You may be feeling sentimental as the move approaches, but this tip has a different motive in mind. Photos come in handy for many reasons. By taking pictures of your knick- knacks before and during the move, your life will be easier once you make it to the new place and you’re trying to unpack and decorate. Know what else? Taking photos of electronic wires and connectors will help you when you’re trying to hook up the TV at the new home just in time to watch the big game! Also, if items get damaged in the move, you’ll be able to let the movers know their condition prior to the move…with the proof of a photo.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5114″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992513426{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Don’t pack items you won’t be needing anymore.

I’ve written about decluttering when trying to sell your home, but it’s important to also not spend the time and the effort to pack items you won’t be using in your new home. Moving is the perfect time to declutter! If you are no longer using that cabinet and it’s been in your basement’s storage room, try to donate or sell it. You can also ask yourself, “where will I need this item in the new place”? If you don’t have an answer to that question, it’s likely time to part ways with it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4237″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992777512{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The internet is filled with practical (and sometimes off-the-wall!) packing tips to prepare you for your next big move.

70’S HUES

The 70’s are back in a big way. 70’s trends are dominating right now from music festivals, to bell bottoms and overalls, to Interior Design.  It is recommended that sticking to slightly saturated reds, oranges, deep blues, and forest greens.  Deeper gemstones and metals with wood accents and white contrast modernizes your home with beautiful colour that isn’t too overwhelming.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5087″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533923120759{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

COOL CONCRETE

Anyone who loves contemporary architecture appreciates the concrete aesthetic.  It is tough, long lasting and easily maintained and that for the right buyer it is a cool and edgy addition to a home.  Concrete really shines when it is paired with bold design choices such as bright colors, plants and even wallpaper.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5102″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533923337826{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

SEEING DOUBLE

Today’s Luxury Kitchens are about having a minimalistic look at feel.  That means finding a way to hide all your unsightly appliances.  The most popular ways to do this have been to incorporate a butler’s pantry that houses not only dry goods, but also has a counter space for items such as juicers, blenders and the like. Alternatively a huge trend that is on the rise is to simply have two kitchen spaces – one for cooking, and one for entertaining.  While we’re seeing double, we need to add that the biggest must have for a luxury kitchen in 2018 is a double oven.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5103″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533923441732{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

AU NATURAL

2018 has been all about taking it back to the basics, and that means finding those natural textures in your home and really highlighting them. For some this may mean showcasing an exposed-brick wall. For others it may mean bringing in those natural textures in the form of stone or woven accents. Either way, the more down-to-earth the textures feel, the more luxurious your home will look.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5104″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533923527250{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN

Plants are the ultimate multi-purpose house decor item. In addition to providing clean air they also have the ability to look stunning when displayed properly, and depending on the plant could provide you with an indoor medicinal or herb garden. No luxury home would be complete without bringing these natural beauties indoor in a spectacular way such as a plant wall or large installation.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533923906217{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Buying Home With Realtor®

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4434″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1510000410942{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]5 Tips For Buying a Home

Looking to buy a home? Here are five essential tips for making the process as smooth as possible.

Get your finances in order.

First start by getting a full picture of your credit.  Obtain an updated copy of your credit report. Ensure the facts are correct, and correct any problems or issues you find. Next, find a suitable lender / bank and get pre-approved for your mortgage. This will put you in the best position possible when you are ready to make an offer on the right house.

Find a house you can afford.

The same goes with engagement rings, there’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to buying a home, two and a half times your annual salary. There are some good tools and calculators online that will help you better understand on how your income, debt, and expenses can affect what you can afford. Don’t forget, that there are lots of considerations beyond the listed price, including property taxes, energy costs & miscellaneous expenses.

Hire a Professional Realtor®

While the Internet gives buyers unprecedented access to home listings and resources, many aspects during the home buying process require a level of expertise that you simply can’t pick up from surfing the web. That’s why you’re better off using a professional Real Estate Agent, than going at it alone. If possible, recruit an exclusive Buyer Agent, who will have your best interests at heart and will assist you with right strategies during the home buying process.

Do your homework.

Before you make an offer, do some research to determine the state of the market. Is it more favourable buyers or for sellers?  Next, look at sales trends of similar homes in the neighbourhood of your choice.  Look at prices for the last few (3 months) months. Come up with an asking price that is competitive, but also realistic. Otherwise, you may end up upsetting the seller / sellers.

Think long term.

Certainly, you shouldn’t buy unless you’re sure you’ll be staying there for at least a few years. Beyond that, you should buy in a neighbourhood with good schools. Whether you have children or not, this will have an impact on your new home’s resale value down the line.  When it comes to the house itself, you should hire your own professional home inspector, who can point out potential problems that could require costly repairs in the future.
