Professionally SpeakingDear Community,

Although there is stillspeculation regarding theoverall health of the realestate industry, there aresigns appearing that weare approaching the bot-tom of the market. If youare considering a pur-chase, either as your pri-mary residence or strictly as aninvestment, you can easily capital-ize on current conditions if youare educated and prepared.While no one can say with ab-

solute confidence that priceswon’t drop any further, some peo-ple simply must and will buy ahome. Let me share some sug-gestions to help you avoid pitfallsand take advantage of today’s op-portunities.First, shop for an appropriate

mortgage and secure a letter ofprequalification. Then you’ll knowexactly what price range is withinyour reach, and you’ll stand more

strongly when makingan offer.Explore Real Estate

Owned properties, orREOs, which are held bybanks after foreclosure,and be willing to com-promise if you find atruly exceptional value.

These homes are often offeredwell below market value, and ifyou are willing to hunt for bar-gains and negotiate, you’ll be ableto take advantage of high invento-ries and languishing listings.Finally, assemble a top-notch

team of professionals, includingyour lender, inspector, and attor-ney. Most importantly, find a RE-ALTOR® to coordinate all theactivities of the other profession-als who are key to the transaction.Protect your interests with trustedrepresentation.

Step outside andtake a deep breath.Flowers are bloomingand the fresh scent ofspring is once againin the air. Thismeans that heavycoats and scarvesare giving way toshort sleeves, andgardening tools arebeing brought out ofhibernation. Butwhere to store all ofyour now-unneededwinter accessories?Effective storageideas are abundant,and getting organ-ized now will ensureyou are preparedwhen Old Man Wintercomes back around. Some hoping to get

organized may find ithelpful to start bymaking a list ofeverything they wantto store. This list willhelp ensure thatnothing gets lostonce the organizingand storage begins. If you have addi-

tional space in abasement or garage,you may want to lookinto purchasingshelving or having itinstalled for you.Easy-to-install,heavy-duty shelvingcan be purchased atjust about any majorhome supply store orfrom MCHBA mem-bers specializing inthis service. Many of

these units are de-signed so that youcan leave as muchroom between theshelves as you like,making it easy to getlarger and smalleritems onto the sameunit and saving youspace. If you decide give it

a go yourself, it is im-portant that whenshopping for storageshelving that youlook carefully at theinstallation process.While most are sim-ple enough to installin less than one hour,some may be moreinvolved, requiringmultiple tools. Lookbefore you buy andyou will have asmoother processwhile getting organ-ized. Winter clothing can

take up lots of closetspace, leaving youwith little additionalroom for your springwardrobe. If you are

looking for clothingstorage space,have youconsid-eredwhatmay notbe underyour bed?Many homeowners forget aboutthe ample storagespace lurking there.Invest in some under-the-bed storageunits. Many suchunits work perfectlyfor storing heavycoats and sweatersuntil next season, es-pecially in homeswith limited storagespace. Simply foldyour clothing and ad-ditional accessoriesflat and place theminto the storage con-tainers. The contain-ers slide right underthe bed for excellentout-of-sight storage.These handy unitscan be found at justabout any store that

sells storage solu-tions and are rel-

ativelyinexpen-sive. When

lookingat stor-

ing addi-tional tools,

step into your garageand look up. The ad-ditional space on thewalls towards theceiling may lend itselfto a long rack withhooks where toolscan be hung. For townhome and

apartment dwellers,storage can take aninteresting angle ofits own. Stretched tofind storage space inoften cramped quar-ters, MCHBA mem-bers are ready torespond to yourneeds. Fixes to stor-age problems includelarger built-in cabi-nets and a uniqueprocess known asraised floors. A sec-

tion of the floor is ele-vated like a platform,high enough to in-clude small accessdoors with space tostore boxes, heavycoats or just aboutanything you mayneed to pack awaywith the coming ofspring. Storing all of that

winter gear away canbe as easy as youmake it. Remember,make a list and as-sess what you willneed. Take a lookaround first to seewhat you alreadyhave that can beused for storage.With just a littlepreparation, storingyour winter items canbe as relaxing as awarm spring breeze. For more informa-
