Want to know more about staging in your own home Kathy has some great suggestions. Staging is Something You Should Be Doing While You're Still Living In Your Home! A comment I hear from almost every seller on my Staging Consultations is that they are hesitant to spend money on a home they’re going to be leaving.   I get it! However, if you want to protect the investment you have in your house, it’s important that the condition of your property reflects your asking price.   That said, this thing called Staging is something that all homeowners could and should be doing while living in and enjoying your home.   For example… Paint If it’s been 10 years or more since you painted, it’s time to take a look at the exterior and interior. Maybe the hot pink bedroom your daughter begged for can be... 03/28/2023

How many times have you heard the story about people who move into their dream home only to find out that there’s a huge plumbing issue or noisy neighbors next door? Remember the old movie The Money Pit with a young Tom Hanks?  Learn from their mistakes, and reconsider certain factors before signing on the dotted line. Here’s are some suggestions for homebuyers to keep in mind when it comes to deal breakers: Plumbing: If the plumbing isn’t working, guess who has to spend money fixing it if you don't spot it before closing? You got it: the buyer. Plumbing issues can be even harder to address in older homes that have an outdated set-up. Be sure your inspector conducts a thorough evaluation before closing.  In addition, water is very sneaky.  The leak can be on an upper floor and make itse... 03/28/2023

The Role of Access in Selling Your House In ConnecticutOnce you’ve made the decision to sell your house and have hired a real estate agent to help, they’ll ask how much access to your home you want to give potential buyers. Your answer matters more now than it did in recent years. Here’s why.At the height of the buying frenzy seen during the pandemic, there was a rise in the number of homebuyers who put offers on houses sight unseen. That happened for three reasons: Extremely low housing inventory A lot of competition from other buyers wanting to take advantage of historically low mortgage rates And general wariness of in-person home tours during a pandemic Today, the market’s changing, and buyers can usually be more selective and take more time to explore their options.So, in order to ... 03/28/2023

When it comes to taxes, nobody likes the idea of dishing out more than they need to. Unfortunately, misreporting business expenses or understating income is a common practice amongst taxpayers in Mount Laurel, NJ. To be clear, this is a practice that should be avoided at all costs. Not only can it lead to serious legal and financial consequences, but those consequences can stay with you for months—even years—down the line. The Risk of Audit When you attempt to understate your income or misreport your business expenses, there’s always the risk of an audit from the IRS. An audit is an investigation into your tax returns by the IRS and/or state government that can take months—sometimes even years—to complete. During this time, you’ll have to provide additional documentation and answer ques... 03/28/2023
