Energy Blowing In The Wind
Did you know you could save 50 to 90
percent of your energy costs by putting
a small wind electric system on your
property? It is a solution that is best for
rural properties, so check with your
homeowner’s association or city
ordinances. To learn more about the
potential of using wind power, go to:

Be Careful When Giving
Some gifts communicate the wrong
message. Know the person well before
you give these types of gifts:
Assembly required
. Some people
just want the finished product.
Animals.
They take time, money,
and commitment. Don’t give a child
a pet without clearing it with your
spouse or another child’s parents.

Q. How can I “stage” my home so it sells quickly for the price I want?
A.
Make sure you address both the outside and the inside of the house by
cleaning and de-cluttering everything, from the front yard to the garage to the
kitchen, bathrooms, and basement. Put away your personal items so buyers
can imagine themselves living there.
One way to take years off your home is with paint.
Check the home’s
exterior paint job, and don’t forget the front door, mailbox, garage doors, and
walkways. In the interior, remove the pictures from the walls (as well as old
wallpaper) and paint the walls in a neutral color.
Also, consider these tips if you want to sell your home fast for a good
price:
a) Hire professional cleaners to do the work; b) Get a home inspection
before you put it on the market; and c) Make your landscaping look sharp.
For a list of the specific steps you should take, ask for my Free Consumer
Report called
“4 Steps To Stage Your Home For A Fast Sale.”

copy right to you.
