Does it make sense to pay afull commission to your realestate agent in today’s mar-ket?

Seller, buyers, and evenagents are debating whatshould be charged to assist aconsumer on completing areal estate transaction.Forget what the actualamount of the commission is.The bigger question iswhether you should pay a‘full fee’ when hiring a realestate expert to guide youthrough the complexities oftoday’s rapidly changinghousing environment.

If a full fee was the rule in2006 when completing adeal was so much simpler,why would you now considercutting the fee of your agentin today’s tumultuous mar-ket? You are depending onthis person to help you reachyour goals in a sale or pur-chase. In 2006, buyers werewilling to pay almost any-thing to a seller just to getinto a home. Banking enti-ties seemed to be willing tomortgage any property forany buyer. The process wasrather simple.

Today, a person looking tobuy or sell should be willingto pay a full fee for two rea-sons:

YYOOUU NNEEEEDD AANN EEXXPPEERRTTGGUUIIDDEE IIFF YYOOUU AARREETTRRAAVVEELLIINNGG AA DDAANNGGEERR--OOUUSS PPAATTHH……

The field of real estate isloaded with land mines. Youneed a true expert to guideyou through the dangerouspitfalls that currently exist.Finding a buyer willing to

pay fair market value for yourhome at a time that there aremass inventories of foreclo-sures and short sales will takea true real estate profession-al. Finding reasonablefinancing can also be tricky intoday’s lending environment.

Experts in any professiondo not discount their fees;especially when the job isbecoming much more diffi-cult.

YYOOUU NNEEEEDD AA SSKKIILLLLEEDDNNEEGGOOTTIIAATTOORR……

In today’s market, hiring atalented negotiator couldsave you thousands, perhapstens of thousands of dollars.Each step of the way—fromthe original offer, to the pos-sible re-negotiation of thatoffer after a home inspection,to the possible cancellation ofthe transaction based on atroubled appraisal—youneed someone who can keepthe transaction together untilit closes.

When an agent is negotiat-ing their commission withyou, they are negotiatingtheir own salary—the salarythat keeps a roof over theirfamily’s head; the salary thatputs food on their family’stable. If they are quick totake less when negotiatingfor themselves and their fam-ilies, what makes you thinkthey will not act the sameway when negotiating for youand your family? If they were‘Clark Kent’ when negotiat-ing with you, they will notturn into ‘Superman’ whennegotiating with the buyer orseller in your deal.

BBOOTTTTOOMM LLIINNEE……

We believe that famoussayings become famousbecause they are true. Youget what you pay for. Justlike a good accountant or a

good attorney, a good agentwill save you money…notcost you money.

The days are gone when atraditional-style interiormeant a prescribed collectionof matched furniture and aformal room arrangement.Today, traditional is as broad-ly applied as one’s personaltaste allows.

We all have at least onepiece of furniture that weacquired from a parent, orone that we purchased whenwe first married and has spe-cial meaning to us, or one ortwo that we have collectedover the years that we feel wejust can’t get rid of.

I have clients that ask mehow they can keep thesepieces and still update theirdécor to create a style theycan feel comfortable with.This is not an impossible taskbut it can be tricky. Decidehow visible you want thepiece or pieces to be. If youwant them to be a focal point,then build around them. If itis just a piece you want tokeep, then blend it in withthe rest of your décor.

According to designer,Kelly Amen, “Elements ofour past lives should be car-ried into each new transitionas our lives change and weadjust to new situation.”

The trick is balancing fur-niture selection with colorand finishing touches. Colorenhances our environments.Color makes collections andart stand out. Color is kingwhen it comes to creatingmemorable rooms. By adapt-ing old ideas to new situa-tions you can create a time-less look.

The key element to pullingyour look together is texture.Texture is derived from fur-nishings – upholstery, rugs,artwork and window dress-ings. Texture and color relyon one another for the inte-gration of a well-designedroom. Textures can be addedthrough small accents suchas chenille throws, needle-point pillows, area rugs oreven a small tassel hangingfrom a lampshade. A more

expansive use of various fab-rics can be achieved in win-dow treatments created withsheer fabric, velvets, bro-cades, silks and even tapes-tries.

So, keep that treasured

piece! Enjoy the fact that youhave created your own “tradi-tional” style. Happy decorat-ing!!

One of the best thingsabout warm-weather monthsis the ample opportunity toenjoy the great outdoors; butthere’s no need to travel to getyour fix of fresh air. The bestplace to relax, play and enjoythe season could be right out-side your window.

“Your yard is an extensionof your home, so make it aplace where you want tospend time,” says JohnFurner, Outdoor Living spe-cialist at Sam’s Club.“Sprucing up your yard -- forentertaining, cooking or sim-ple tranquility -- is every bit

as important as those kitchenupgrades.”

Here are some great ideasfor an outdoor spacemakeover:

TThhee GGaarrddeennGive the phrase “locally-

grown produce” new mean-ing with a backyard garden of

your own. Whether you plant a full

array of vegetables or youonly have time to care for afew herb pots, a garden givesthose simple summer salads atasty, healthy and easily-accessible boost.

If you are new to growing

plants, flowers, or evenfruits, do not fret. Gardeningdepartments at retailers likeSam’s Club can guide youwith set-up, tools, soil andstarter plants at a greatvalue. Go online to researchgardening tips and nourishyour green thumb.

TThhee GGrriillllWhile barbecuing makes

any meal a celebration,there’s no need to wait untila special holiday to cook out-doors. Make fresh-grilledvegetables and meats a regu-lar part of your summermenus and recipes. If this isyour first time buying a grillor you seek a specializedgrill, consider your tastepreference (smoky versuscrisp and clean), the quanti-ties of food you regularlyplan to grill and optimalbackyard location.

If you prefer a smokytaste, then consider optingfor a charcoal grill, andchoose a gas or propane grillif you want to maintain theoriginal flavors of the food. Ifyou plan to use your grill forlarge parties and entertain-ing -- and have a large patioor open-air space -- youshould look at larger coveredgrills which tend to be themost versatile products.

TThhee PPaattiiooInvest in comfortable

patio furniture that is water-resistant and rust-proof.Whether you choose teak,aluminum, wicker orwrought iron, browsingoptions online can help youfind a durable set of furni-ture and décor that is theright style for your yard. Visitwww.SamsClub.com forideas.

For cooler evenings, con-sider installing a fire pit inyour backyard to makeentertaining al fresco a year-round option. A fire pit does-n’t need to take up a lot ofspace, and there are numer-ous styles available to matchany decorating taste.

Whether it’s a few simpleupgrades or a completebackyard makeover, you canmake your outdoor space theplace to be this season!

Consider swapping outyour older telephone in favorof a modern device with highfunctionality. For example,Panasonic’s new Link2Cell

models allow you to makeand receive cell phone callsusing your cordless tele-phone system via Bluetoothtechnology -- whether or notyou have landline service.You can even transfer con-tacts from your mobile phoneto the Panasonic cordlesshandset so you can easily dialyour stored numbers.

Synching a mobile phonewith your landline allows youto place your cell anywhere inthe house that provides thebest reception and still roamfreely on your landline’s cord-less handset. You’ll also havefar better sound quality andpeace of mind knowing youwon’t miss an important call.

Summer means sunshine, relaxation and backyardbarbecues. But it also means the return of insect sea-son. Homeowners work hard on their backyards, butthe nuisance of pesky flying insects often preventthem from enjoying their yards as much as possible.

Not only are insects annoying, they can be danger-ous too. Stinging insects send over 500,000 people tothe emergency room each year and an estimated twomillion Americans are allergic to insect stings.

Do not let bugs keep you from relaxing outdoors.Use these tips to take back your yard from annoyingpests.

EEaatt MMoorree GGaarrlliiccGarlic is heralded for its ability to ward off blood-

sucking vampires; but did you know eating garlic canrepel bloodsucking insects as well? Garlic is excretedthrough the pores and acts as a natural barrier to fly-ing insects who don’t like the smell.

EElliimmiinnaattee DDaannggeerroouuss FFllyyiinngg IInnsseeccttssThe key to insect control is early detection and

elimination. Consider using traps to eliminate both-ersome bugs. Not all traps are eyesores. For example,the Black Flag Flying Insect Trap and Lure attracts,traps, and kills wasps, yellow jackets and flies, and canbe hung in a tree or staked in the ground; discreetlyblending into any outdoor setting. It’s also safe foryour family and pets. More information is available atwww.blackflag.com.

WWeeaarr PPrrooppeerr CCllootthheessBees, wasps, and yellow jackets are attracted to

bright colors and floral patterns. The color black alsotends to irritate the insects. Wear light colors such askhaki, beige, or white to avoid being stung.

GGrrooww PPllaannttss aanndd HHeerrbbssCertain plants and herbs, such as rosemary, basil

and thyme, emit odors that ward off insects. Not onlywill these plants help deter unwanted pests; you’llalso have some fresh herbs ready for cooking right inyour backyard!

Grab a cold drink, kick back and relax in your yard.You won’t have bugs to worry about anymore.

Cooling your home in sum-mer can be an expensiveprospect, especially as tem-peratures soar well abovecomfort level. But don’t sweatit.

Experts say you can dra-matically lower your energy

bills and stay comfortable too.“There are a number of

easy adjustments andupgrades, at all price points,that can save you energy andmoney this summer,” saysMark Demerly, President ofDemerly Architects, and chair

of the American Institute ofArchitects’ CustomResidential ArchitectsNetwork.

To help get you started,Demerly offers some timelyadvice:

RRooooff VVeennttiinngg

The roof of your home actsas an absorbent. It’s thereforecritical to release heat fromyour roof so that it doesn’tcome into the house instead,says Demerly. Proper insula-tion will prevent heat fromcoming in, and a sound venti-lation system will help get ridof build-up.

Start by checking to see ifyour attic is properly insulatedand ventilated. Eave vents,ridge vents, and roof ventingmaterials can help push heatout. Consider adding solar-paneled or wind-driven ventpipes, as these will act to pullhot air out of the attic. Thisupgrade is useful year-round,as insulation helps retain heatas well.

WWiinnddoowwssWindows are critical to

keeping your home cool,Demerly says. Keep themopen when temperatures aremoderate and there’s lowhumidity. Natural ventilationis free!

Install a window fan facingoutward -- pushing air out, notin -- and open the windows onthe opposite side of the houseto exhaust the hot air out, andpull in cooler outside air.Also, consider using a housefan for the attic, to move morefresh air into your entirehome.

Reflect heat out of the housefor a larger, yet cost-effectivemeasure by installing windowfilms. You might also considerreplacing old windows with amodern energy-efficientoption made of insulated glassmatched with Low-E coatings

and argon gasses. Be awarethat casement and awningwindows minimize air infiltra-tion better than double hungwindows.

BBaassiicc HHoommee MMaaiinntteennaanncceeSome additional steps you

can take to reduce coolingcosts include:

Paint your house a lighter,more reflective color.

If you have a flat roof, con-sider a lighter colored mem-brane covering, such asThermoplastic PolyOlefin(TPO), to reflect light. Greenroofs, which cover and insu-late the surface from heat, canalso be applied to exiting flatroofs.

Install more high-efficientair units or alternative sys-tems, like geothermal systems,to provide cost savings.

Plant trees around yourhome to shade your house insummer and cool the air.

An architect can help youapply many of these cost-sav-ing initiatives. To find one inyour area, visit: http://archi-tectfinder.aia.org/.

While improving yourhome’s energy efficiency willsave you money in the longrun, avoid spending a fortuneon the upgrades.

“Remember, tax credits existfor many of these ideas, so besure to look into them beforestarting any project,” Demerlyadds.

A few actions you take nowcan help you lower your ener-gy costs all summer. Get start-ed today for a cool, comfort-able season.

In spite of an uncertaineconomy, America is a coun-try on the move. In fact, near-ly 12 percent of Americanschanged their place of resi-dence between 2010 and2011, according to U.S.Census data.

But where is everyonegoing?

A newly released list of theTop 10 Moving Destinationscompiled by Penske TruckRental sheds some light onwhere people are relocatingwithin the U.S., based on datagleaned from its online con-sumer truck rental reserva-tions and call centers.

According to these movingexperts, the most popularU.S. cities to relocate to in2011 were:

1. Atlanta2. Phoenix3. Orlando, Fla.4. Dallas/Fort Worth5. Chicago6. Houston7. Denver8. Seattle9. Sarasota, Fla.

10. Charlotte, N.C.“As this list indicates, U.S.

residents continue migratingprimarily toward warmweather areas,” noted DonMikes, Penske’s VicePresident of Rental.

If you’re thinking of follow-ing suit, be sure to researchyour destination optionsbefore packing up the truck,as there are a lot of factors toweigh.

You can start by checkingschool rankings and localcrime reports of your poten-tial new home. Reading thewant ads in the communitynewspapers and online classi-fieds, is a great way to deter-mine what the local job mar-ket will be like when youarrive. You may find theindustry you work in guidesyou most in your decision-making.

If possible, plan a trip toyour intended destination,but don’t spend your timesolely on the tourist traps.Instead, put yourself in theshoes of a resident. Drive the

streets at rush hour. Visit thegrocery store and talk to thelocals. Visit the residentialneighborhoods and try toimagine what it would be liketo really live there.

Once you know where youwant to go, it’s simply a mat-ter of doing it. However, a big

move can be stressful. Youcan make the process easierby reserving your truckonline ahead of time througha website like www.pens-ketruckrental.com, a site thatalso provides moving tips,discounts, information aboutmajor metropolitan areas

and other relocationresources.

Whether you’re seekingsunshine, better job opportu-nities, affordable real estateor you simply have the mov-ing bug, relocating is a greatway to get a fresh start.
