Emergency Earthquake Gas Meter Shut Off Tool [The Seismic Wrench]

August 15, 2016 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

As everyone knows, there are a lot of earthquakes in California. Somewhere around 3 or 4 a year cause damage. Sometimes a lot of damage. One way they can be very destructive is through fire. That’s what really leveled San Francisco in the great 1906 earthquake. Fire is still a concern, but nowadays it’s primarily […]

Your Credit Score – More Important Than Just For Mortgages

August 15, 2016 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Who’s Checking Your Money ‘Cred’? Maybe your ‘Street Cred’ isn’t too important to you, but your credit score should be. So, who IS checking your credit? That depends on what you – or your children – are shopping for, applying for or doing online. Just because you aren’t currently trying to get a mortgage or […]

July 18, 2016 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Do you remember the article I wrote in April advising people to “call the movers” when moving to a new home?  Well, there’s a follow-up to that story.  Libby and I are faced with that situation right now.  Am I going to take my own advice? Before getting to the moving part of this story, […]

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Would you rather: move before the holidays, or wai Would you rather: move before the holidays, or wait until spring? 🏡⁣
⁣
Both are real strategies, and they trade off in opposite directions.⁣
⁣
Move now, there is less competition for the homes that are out there, sellers who are motivated rather than testing the market, and more room to negotiate. The tradeoff is a shorter runway and a move squeezed into a busy season.⁣
⁣
Wait for spring — more listings, more choices, and better weather for everything from photos to moving day. The tradeoff is more buyers competing for the same homes, and prices that tend to firm up when they do.⁣
⁣
There's no universally right answer here. It mostly comes down to whether your priority is selection or leverage.⁣
⁣
Which way are you leaning? Let us know in the comments.⁣

Darker Evenings Change How Your Home Shows ⁣ ⁣ Oct Darker Evenings Change How Your Home Shows ⁣
⁣
October gives sellers less useful evening light every week. 🌇⁣
⁣
Once the clocks change in most places, a 5:30 showing that felt bright and open in September can become a walkthrough in the dark. It's a small shift that changes a lot: buyers can't see the yard, the natural light you're selling doesn't show up, and rooms photograph — and feel — smaller.⁣
A few things that help:⁣
⁣
- Get your exterior photos taken on the next bright afternoon⁣
⁣
- Turn on every light before a showing, and replace any bulbs that don't match the others⁣
⁣
- Open the blinds before a daytime showing so the remaining natural light can do its job⁣
⁣
- Light the walkway and the entry — the first ten seconds happen outside⁣
⁣
- Add a lamp to any room that only has an overhead light⁣
⁣
None of it costs much. The point is to adjust before the first dark showing catches you by surprise.⁣
