How to remove tarnish with baking soda, foil, and hot waterIt might seem more like magic than a simple cleaning hack,  but this this method will dissolve tarnish before your eyes.

lake norman real estate agent: Helpful Tips For Selling Your Home With Pets - 12/12/18 11:44 AM
 
When showing your home to prospective buyers, you want them to be able to picture themselves living in your home. So you sould "de-personalize" your home by removing family pictures, drawings that the kids may have done, just basically anything that is personal and that includes your pet and their items.

lake norman real estate agent: Christmas Might Be The Perfect Time To Sell Your Home! - 12/08/18 08:15 PM
You may be thinking it's not the season for real estate, but the good news is that the few house hunters that are out there are serious buyers! 
So don't get discouraged by there being less activity and less foot traffic ... on the flip side it's a good thing because you know the ones out there looking are not just "LOOKERS"!
You can still decorate but just don't over do it. Keep it neutral and not too full and cluttered ... just a few of your favorite things!

lake norman real estate agent: Various Ways To Save For A Downpayment - 12/08/18 07:57 PM
Calculate how much and how quickly you want to save Consider the price of the house you can afford and determine 20% of the value. That’s your target. Let’s say it’s $50,000. Divide that number by your time horizon. If you want to buy in five years, divide by five — you’ll need to save $10,000 per year. Divide that number by 12, and you’ll get your target monthly savings goal: $834.
Perhaps you want to buy a home sooner. You can shorten your time horizon by saving more each month if your budget allows.
People get money for a down payment through … (1 comments)

Here are a few tips to help when buying a home ...
