Fall is a time of change and growth, and this includes your yard. As the leaves fall from the trees, it’s important to ensure that you’re maintaining your property so that it stays nice year round. Read on for tips on how to maintain your lawn as the seasons change! Fertilizing your lawn in the fall may seem counter intuitive, but it will really help your lawn out in the spring. The top may slow its growth, but the roots will continue to still grow as the weather cools. The roots will benefit from the extra nutrients and will actually store it until the growing season starts again in the spring. The late season fertilizer will encourage deep root growth. You may also consider aerating, power raking and over seeding your lawn in the fall as well. All this will prep it to have a great start to the spring growing season. Raking the leaves is beneficial as well. It will allow the lawn to see the fall sun, and we know cleaning up soggy leaves in the spring is never fun. Make sure to hav...

Sometimes the best thing about a new job is a new perspective! When I first joined Lisa Kloeble’s team I had this idea that my job would be doing a bit of paperwork and helping out where I could. I had no real idea what the job entailed and only a preconceived notion about what Realtors do. I definitely had no clue to the amount of paperwork and processes involved or what it takes to run your own business. I was one of those people that thought Real Estate was pretty straight forward: you get a buyer or seller and buy or sell a home! How difficult could it be? How little I knew! I had a real learning curve! Not only was I learning my own role, I was also learning the role of a Realtor and everything they need to do in order to be successful! During this time I’m not sure if it was the remote learning; Covid fatigue; or short term memory loss that comes at this stage of life; but I was slightly overwhelmed and to make matters worse things weren’t really sticking. At this point, not ...

With the real estate market as busy as it is, my first piece of advice is to hire an experienced REALTOR®. This is SO important right now! What is an experienced realtor and why do you need one? An experienced realtor works in the market everyday and can provide advice and tricks of the trade you cannot find with a google search. Strong negotiation skills and market knowledge can positively impact the transaction. But more importantly an experienced agent can offer you a potential edge on new listings and a great deal using their strong rapport with other agents, community connections and industry referral network. Just as no one would have expected a worldwide pandemic… no one expected the real estate market to be so busy during these times either. Low interest rates and a shortage of inventory together have driven house prices up significantly. An experienced realtor has the knowledge and confidence to navigate and lead you through a market that is unpredictable and fast paced. With ...

Here are my Top 5 Tips on how to make sure your pool looks great this summer: Have a pool guy! My husband who is retired is the best pool guy around! Lol.
