TIDBITS - Make your home office work for you!

Have more energy, be more productive & feel better while working from home!

No one wants to bring the office -- or the cubicle -- home: the humming fluorescent overhead light, the hulking steel filing cabinets, the horrid acoustic-tile ceilings. But you can leave the bad parts of office design behind and employ the sensible, comfort- (and sanity-) friendly rules at home. Check out the link below for additional ideas, courtesy of our friends at Houzz! 

7 Ways to Make your Home Office Work Better

For one, start with a work surface that's about 29 or 30 inches high for proper ergonomic form. And Marilyn Zelinsky, author of "The Inspired Workspace," points out that a flat-panel monitor requires 25 to 30 percent less space than a full-size monitor. (Gather the cords together, then run them down one table leg with white poster putty.)

The freebulled-up desk space could be just the spot for a task light or lamp fitted with a xenon bulb, which burns cooler than halogen and gives a natural light, says architect Neal Zimmerman, author of "Home Workspace Idea Book." While he doesn't recommend putting a monitor in front of a window (which can cause glare and squinting), he realizes that some spaces offer no other choice. In that case, hang blinds so you can control the amount of light coming in.  Source: Blueprint 2006

Hiring a Real Estate Professional

The real estate market is a place where most people will make their largest investment ever. It is a place where memories are formed, fortunes can be made and a significant amount of importance is placed on the decision to purchase or sell a home.

There are a myriad of reality Real Estate TV shows that make the process look so simple and easy – it’s not really that simple…  On the screen all you need to do is slap a “For Sale by Owner” sign in the yard, have one open house with fresh flowers and fresh baked cookies and bam! SOLD!  In ONE day!  If it were only that easy!

A real estate professional is a crucial member of your team when buying or selling real estate. You could be buying your first home or your tenth home, an investment property or a vacation home, commercial or residential… whichever it is you are best served in the care of a full time, well educated, ethical, trustworthy real estate professional.

First Steps

Any good professional, whether a real estate professional, doctor, lawyer, CPA, etc., will have the heart of a teacher. The professional REALTOR is there to educate you about the conditions impacting today’s real estate market.  It is as easy as picking up the newspaper or searching the Internet for real estate news to see conflicting headline after conflicting headline. “Prices are up 20%”, “Among worst markets in nation”, “Best year since the crash”…well which is it?

All real estate is local to your particular market.  It is vital to look for a real estate professional that is proven to be an EXPERT in your local market.  One who is up to date on current market conditions and can lead you through the process, like any good teacher would, making sure you understand all that is going on around you.

Determining Value

Perhaps the single most important aspect of the transaction is the value of the piece of property.

If you are a seller you want to know how much you can expect to get for the sales price and how much of that you will walk away with in your pocket. You want to advertise the property for sale at the right price so you sell for as much as possible but you don’t want to price it so high that no buyers make you an offer (and YES if you price it too high MOST buyers will not want to offend you by making a low offer…thus you don’t get any offers).

If you are the buyer, you want to know how much to offer. Now multiple offer situations are happening more frequently and if a buyer offers too low, they can either be rejected completely by the seller or they can cause the negotiation to take too long thus allowing time for a competing bid to come in… allowing the seller to be in the driver’s seat.

Finding a Home, Financing Types & Making An Offer

Contracts, negotiations and financing are just a few of the initial tedious items involved with buying or selling most homes. In most States Real Estate law requires much of this paperwork; regardless of whether or not you hire a REALTOR. REALTORS are trained and educated on the contracts, which are constantly changing, so that they can properly advise you during the process.  A real estate professional is experienced in all aspects of the negotiation and is bound legally to do only what is in the best interest of his/her client.

Proceeding to Close

There are about many actions, research steps, procedures, processes and review stages in a successful real estate transaction that are typically provided by a full service real estate brokerage.  Going it on your own can often be cumbersome, confusing and could potentially end in an unsuccessful purchase/sale.  Buyers and sellers should also consider the legal responsibilities that are required in the Real Estate process.  Selling or buying a home on your own does not exempt you from State laws that may be in force in your particular State.  Adherence to those laws stand the chance of being overlooked if not properly represented by a licensed Realtor.  

You need a professional, full time, well educated, ethical and trustworthy REALTOR to represent you whether buying or selling real estate.  MacIntyre & Cowen, RE/MAX Real Estate Professionals, Grand River, founded by Peter MacIntyre and Eleanor Cowen, specializes in Residential, Luxury, Relocation and New Construction Home Sales.
