Time for a few home tips to make your life easier!

1) Rotate your mattress: This often gets overlooked, but now is the perfect time of year to rotate your mattress!

2) Cook and stock up your freezer: Knowing that you have homemade soup, stew, chili, or casseroles in the freezer makes facing weeknight dinners much less stressful.

3) Organize your bookshelves: Creating a reading area can really help if you're having a night in. Fun tip: Try arranging your books by color!

4) Refresh your movie-watching area: Consider getting a projector for a fun night with the kids (or significant other). They are inexpensive, and you can project the screen onto a wall or inside a giant fort you built.

5) Check bathrooms for mold: It can be hard to give bathrooms enough ventilation when the house is closed up tight, especially if it's wintertime and you have the heat running. Give the bathroom a thorough cleaning, paying particular attention to the grout, the ceiling, and other areas showing signs of excess moisture.

6) Flowers: Get fresh flowers for the home to bring a little life into a dark day. Plus, you deserve flowers!

Cleaning your home can seem like an overwhelming task, but it's essential for maintaining a healthy and comfortable living space.

Here are a few tips to help motivate yourself to clean:

Set a timer: Set a timer for a specific amount of time to clean a certain area. This can help you stay focused and make cleaning feel less overwhelming.

Break it up into smaller tasks: Cleaning an entire house in one go can be daunting, so break it up into smaller, more manageable tasks. Focus on one room at a time and take breaks in between.

Put on music while cleaning: Music can be a great motivator. Put together a playlist of upbeat songs to help you stay energized while you clean.

Reward yourself: After you've finished cleaning, reward yourself with something you enjoy, such as a snack or some screen time.

Remember, a clean home not only looks and feels better, but it can also have a positive impact on your mental and physical health. So, take a deep breath, put on some music, and get cleaning!

This choice is usually one that people are pretty passionate about, so comment below what you would rather live in. A one-story home or two-story home? Why did you choose your choice?

How to bring Hamptons summer style into your home 🦞

What’s not to love about soft muted beach colors, bright white walls, and natural textures? Add an elegant coastal Hampton vibe to your home this summer with these quick (and affordable) decorating tips:

PATTERN PERFECTION
Summer is a perfect time to play with patterns. Think stripes, gingham, and checkered patterns to add a touch of playfulness to your decor scheme. Throw pillows are a perfect way to decorate seasonally, but you could also have fun with curtains, throw blankets, and rugs, too.

CRISP WHITE WALLS
New paint is the quickest way to freshen up a room and a bright, crisp white will stay in style all year round with the right accents.

COASTAL COLORS
Consider soft blues like a French blue or go for a navy or gray-blue color. When in doubt, go for calming beach colors like blue, gray, and beige.

NAUTICAL ELEMENTS
Coastal chic doesn't have to mean anchors and boat motifs, but small touches like jars of sea glass, framed hemisphere maps, or striped rugs will go a long way.

Are you into the Hamptons aesthetic? Try these tips out to change up your home's look!

Bring some happiness into your home!

When you’ve finished doing your spring decluttering, try adding some new plants, playing music, or bringing in a great new smell to make your space feel like a deep breath of fresh air.

No one said buying a home would be easy...even with the right agent by your side every step of the way 😉

From underwriting hurdles to inspection issues, it's all too common to encounter bumps in the road during a home purchase.

Are you looking to add a garden to your backyard this Summer? Here are some good tips to get you started! 🌱

Do you want to invest in real estate but have no idea where to start? Then this post is for you.

Here are some of the best ways to make money in real estate, ranging from low maintenance to high.

✅ Investing in REITs is like buying stocks, but instead of buying a share of a company, you buy a share of a real estate investment trust. REITs own different types of commercial real estate, such as offices, stores, apartments, and hotels.
✅ An online real estate investing platform connects investors with real estate developers who need funding for their projects. Investors can lend money or buy equity shares to become part owners of a property and receive payments from rental income or profits from selling it.
✅ Investing in rental properties can be profitable in the long run if you have stable finances, especially during rising interest rates. You earn money by renting out the property and can sell it for a profit later. However, owning a rental property involves responsibilities like maintenance costs, tenant management, and unexpected expenses.
✅ Flipping investment properties is buying a low-priced house, renovating it, and reselling it for profit. It's like an HGTV show but can be risky due to unexpected costs and an unpredictable housing market. Research, planning, and working with professionals are essential.
✅ Renting out a spare room in your home is a low-risk way to start investing in real estate. You earn money and learn about being a landlord without buying another property

Starting a garden is a wonderful experience. Grow sweet-smelling flowers or tasty veggies, or even both! Everyone can enjoy getting their hands a bit dirty. Here are some tips to help you begin.
🌼 Consider what to plant. Do you want to plant a vegetable garden? An herb garden? A flower garden?
🌼 Pick the best garden spot. Almost all vegetables and many types of flowering plants need 6-8 hours of full sun each day. So you need to observe your yard throughout the day to figure out which spots receive full sun versus partial or full shade.
🌼 Test and improve your soil. To learn more about your soil, have a soil test done through your county cooperative extension office.
🌼 Properly prepare your planting beds. Loosening the soil in new beds before sowing or planting helps roots to grow more easily and access the water and nutrients they need.
🌼 Water at the right time. Seedlings should never be allowed to dry out, so water them daily. Taper off as the plants get larger. Transplants also need frequent watering (every other day or so) until their roots become established.

Travel season is in full swing. Where do you prefer to spend the night, out camping or in a hotel room?

Spring has arrived, bringing with it the perfect time for seasonal home maintenance and upgrades.

For large concrete cracks, opt for a concrete patching compound to effectively patch and seal the damaged area. For smaller cracks less than 1/4 inch wide, a concrete caulk or liquid filler will do the trick. Simply mix patching compounds with water and apply using a trowel for a smooth finish.

If you could choose between the two types of home styles, what would it be? Modern or traditional?

Imagine having a trusted friend who's an expert in houses, giving your dream home a thorough check-up to make sure you're making a smart investment. That's what a home inspection is all about! By having a licensed professional take a look, you can avoid any nasty surprises and unexpected expenses down the line. 🛠️💰
