Are You Covered? A Homeowners Insurance Guide

No one likes to think about disasters. Severe weather, fire, theft—or even a seemingly small issue like a broken pipe—can wreak havoc on your home and result in thousands of dollars in damages. Fortunately, a good homeowners insurance policy can offer you peace of mind that you and your family will be financially protected if disaster strikes.

A homeowners insurance policy covers your home—as well as the belongings in it—in case of theft, accidental damage, or certain natural disasters. In fact, most financial institutions require that you purchase homeowners insurance before they issue a mortgage. While coverage varies, most policies also h...

Abundant Seafood | Local Business Spotlight

Fresh Fish Pick Up

Some of my favorite emails each month are from Abundant Seafood  - as a part of their Community Supported Fishery (CSF) I get the heads up that the crew is heading back from a fishing trip, the species of catch, and when I can pick them up. The day of pick up, I head out to the dock with my cooler and get the fresh fish right off the boat. The only way I could get them any fresher would be to catch them myself! 

This was Thursday's email: The boat will be in tonight so we are planning a fish pick up this weekend! Pick up will be this weekend . . . We will have mahi mahi, swordfish, flounder, vermilion snapper, jack, smoked fish, and miscellaneous other species. We wil...

How to Avoid the Top 8 Home Inspection Mistakes

It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of buying a home. Once you’ve had an offer accepted on your dream house, you’ll probably be anxious to move in. However, before you make a significant financial commitment, it’s best to know exactly what you’re buying.

When you hire a home inspector, you get a professional, in-depth examination of the property’s structures and systems. It’s a worthwhile investment that can save you money in the long run, either by warning you about a bad purchase or by providing a list of deficiencies you can use to negotiate with the sellers.

The inspector’s report will also list minor repairs that, if made, wi...

What's Your Home Actually Worth?

Wed, Mar 6th 2019 8:05 am by Kim Conger Sellers
What's Your Home Actually Worth?

Discover What Buyers Will Pay in Today’s Market

It’s easy to look up how much money you have in your savings account or the real-time value of your stock investments. But determining the dollar value of a home is much more tricky.

As a seller, knowing your home’s worth helps you price it correctly when you put it up for sale. If you price it too high, it may sit on the market. But price it too low and you may be losing out on a good chunk of money (nobody wants that!). For buyers, it’s important to know a home’s worth before you make an offer. You want your offer to be competitive, but you don’t want to overpay for the property.

Top Home Design and Remodeling Trends for 2019

Sellers who make strategic updates before listing a property can generate increased interest from buyers and, in some cases, a premium selling price. And buyers should consider which features of a home will need updating immediately (or in the near future) so they can factor renovation costs into their overall budget.

Even if you have no immediate plans to buy or sell, we advise our clients to be thoughtful about the colors, materials, and finishes they select when planning a remodel. Making over-personalized or unpopular design choices could hurt a home’s value when it does come time to sell. And selecting out-of-style or overly-trendy e...
