1. Remove clutter and clear off counters.Throw out stacks of newspapers and maga-zines and stowaway most of your small deco-rative items. Put excess furniture in storage,and remove out-of-season clothing items thatare cramping closet space. Don't forget toclean out the garage, too.2. Wash your windows and screens. This

will help get more light into the interior of thehome.3. Keep everything extra clean. A clean

house will make a strong first impression andsend a message to buyers that the home hasbeen well-cared for. Wash fingerprints fromlight switch plates, mop and wax floors, and clean the stoveand refrigerator. Polish your doorknobs and address numbers.It's worth hiring a cleaning service if you can afford it.4. Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate

cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells . Open the windows toair out the house. Potpourri or scented candles will help.5. Brighten your rooms. Put higher wattage bulbs in light

fixtures to brighten up rooms and basements. Replace anyburned-out bulbs in closets. Clean the walls, or better yet,brush on a fresh coat of neutral color paint.6. Don't disregard minor repairs. Small problems such as

sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a drippingfaucet may seem trivial, but they'll give buyers the impressionthat the house isn't well-maintained.7. Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, add new

mulch, trim the bushes, edge the walkways, and clean the gut-ters. For added curb appeal, place a pot of bright flowers nearthe entryway.8. Patch holes . Repair any holes in your driveway and

reapply sealant, if applicable.9. Add a touch of color in the living room. A colored afghan

or throw on the couch will jazz up a dull room. Buy new ac-

cent pillows for the sofa.10. Buy a flowering plant and put it near a

window you pass by frequently.11. Make centerpieces for your tables. Use

brightly colored fruit or flowers.12. Set the scene. Set the table with fancy

dishes and candles, and create other vignettesthroughout the home to help buyers pictureliving there. For example , in the basementyou might display a chess game in progress.13. Replace heavy curtains with sheer

ones that let in more light. Show off the viewif you have one.14. Accentuate the fireplace. Lay fresh

logs in the fireplace or put a basket of flowers there if it's not inuse.15. Make the bathrooms feel luxurious. Put away those old

towels and toothbrushes. When buyers enter your bathroom,they should feel pampered. Add a new shower curtain, newtowels, and fancy guest soaps. Make sure your personal toi-letry items are out of sight.16. Send your pets to a neighbor or take them outside. If

that's not possible, crate them or confine them to one room(ideally in the basement), and let the real estate practitionerknow where they'll be to eliminate surprises.17. Lock up valuables, jewelry, and money. While a real es-

tate salesperson will be on site during the showing or openhouse, it's impossible to watch everyone all the time.18. Leave the home. It's usually best if the sellers are not at

home. It's awkward for prospective buyers to look in yourclosets and express their opinions of your home with youthere.

By Bob Van HoutenMoore County Home Builders Association PresidentMMOOOORREE CCOOUUNNTTYY HHOOMMEE BBUUIILLDDEERRSS AASSSSOOCCIIAATTIIOONN

When you boughtyour home, you tookout an insurance policyto cover the house andall of your family's be-longings inside. Butwas that the last timeyou thought about yourinsurance coverage?"Homeowners Insur-

ance" includes insur-ance on the actualstructure and the con-tents inside. The struc-tural part of the packagegenerally covers dam-age such as fire andsmoke, lightning, windand hail storms, vehi-cles, explosion, and air-craft or other fallingobjects. The packageshould also include cov-erage for theft, vandal-ism, riot or civilcommotion, freezing orsudden water escapefrom the plumbing sys-tem or appliances, glassbreakage and suddentearing of heating orcooling systems. A comprehensive

homeowner's policyshould cover yourhome, any structure at-tached to it like a porchor garage and any unat-tached buildings onyour property that arenot used for business orrented to others.Damage caused by

flooding, earthquakesand hurricanes are notcovered by your regularhomeowner's policy.Your insurance agentcan provide you withinformation about cov-erage of these naturaldisasters.The personal property

portion of the insurancepackage protects thingsin your home likeclothes and furniture. Itshould also provide pro-tection for your per-sonal property whileyou are away fromhome, the things youtake with you on vaca-tion. The amount of in-surance on yourpersonal property isequal to a percentage ofthe amount of insuranceon your home — usu-ally 55 percent.However, it is impor-

tant that you know thatspecial limits may applyto certain types of per-sonal property. For ex-ample, money banknote and rare coins, se-curities, stamp collec-tions, jewelry and furs,firearms, silver andgold, rugs, tapestriesand wall hangings.Higher limits on mostof these items are avail-able through upgradeson the policy or by tak-

ing out a separate pol-icy for the items. Check to see

that yourpolicy iswritten forreplacementcosts and youmay want toconsider inflationcoverage. Replacementcost coverage on yourpersonal propertymeans that the insur-ance will pay to repairor replace your personalproperty that is covered.For example, if youbought an item 5 yearsago for $100 and to re-place it today wouldcost you $200, the in-surance would pay$200. Inflation cover-age automatically in-creases the amount ofyour insurance cover-age on your home andpersonal property as in-flation changes the costof replacing your prop-erty. The changes arebased on the movementof an inflation indexand are reflected in thepremium on each re-newal. But how do you know

if you have too little ortoo much insurance?Start with a home in-ventory to help you as-sess your insurance

needs. First youneed toknowhowmuchit

wouldcost to

rebuild yourhouse today on your ex-isting lot. Ask yourbuilder what the marketrate is per square foot torebuild your house.Multiply that times thesquare footage of yourhouse and that's howmuch insurance cover-age you should have.The amount of yourpersonal property cov-erage is a percentage ofthat amount — nor-mally 55 percent andcan be upgraded to 75percent.For your belongings

inventory, list everyitem in your home, atticand garage, when youbought it, its originalcost and its estimatedvalue. It also helps tohave photographs or avideo of your posses-sions. Have a couple ofsets of the photos orvideos made. Down-load a copy online orkeep a copy in a fire-proof safe at home or asafety deposit box.

Marking your itemswith a personal identifi-cation number such asyour social securitynumber will make re-claiming any stolenitems easier.If you ever need to

file a claim, the inven-tory will make it easierand ensure that you arecompensated for virtu-ally everything. If it'snot on your list whenyou file a claim, youwon't be compensatedfor something thatyou've paid for years toinsure. Check withyour insurance agent orcompany for a home in-ventory guide or adviceon how to best organizeyour list if you shouldever need to file a claimwith them. A homeowner's policy

will also include "per-sonal liability" cover-age. That is, theinsurance provides pay-ments for bodily injuryor property damage forwhich you or a relativewho lives with you maybe legally responsible.For example, if some-one is accidentally in-jured on your premises,such as falling downstairs and breaking aleg, or if your ladderfalls over on your

neighbors car and dam-ages it. Personal liabil-ity also includesmedical payments toothers, meaning that ifsomeone is accidentallyinjured on your prop-erty or is accidentallyinjured by you or a rela-tive who lives with you,the insurance will covermedical expenses to acertain limit. In case of a legal mat-

ter, your personal liabil-ity coverage includesthe cost of defendingyou, whether you are li-able or not, against aninsured or covered lawsuits. About one out of

every three home own-ers has proper insurancecoverage. Take sometime today to make sureyou are one of them.For more information

(ARA) - As the sea-son changes, many ofus will get the itch totackle any number ofhome improvementprojects before winter.For some, a completeremodel is in theworks. For others, justa few quick fixes areneeded to make thehome a more enjoyablespace during the longwinter months or inpreparation for holidayentertaining.With the kitchen at

the heart of the home,it's an obvious place totake time for a few up-dates this season. Hereare a few ideas to helpgive your kitchen afresh look withoutspoiling the budgetOverhaul cabinetrywithout breaking t

he bankAlthough replacing

kitchen cabinetry canbe a very costly homeimprovement project, itusually makes thebiggest impact. Withunlimited options tochoose from and vary-ing price points, it'seasy to become over-whelmed and discour-aged. Even if yourbudget is small, don'tgive up on the idea ofupdating your kitchencabinetry because thereare plenty of affordablesolutions. For example,QualityCabinets offersits Woodstar series, aline of affordable andstylish cabinets includ-ing its newest doorstyles - Kittery andBrookport - that are on-trend and available inpopular finishes rang-ing from a classic andairy natural stain todark and rich tones.

Add somepersonality and

shineHardware and faucets

are touched every day,and wear and tear areinevitable. Just switch-ing out these pieces canmake a dramatic differ-

ence by adding a freshshine, some personalityand even greater func-tionality to the space. Ifyour cabinetry hard-ware seems a bit dated,opt for one of manymodern options for aninstant, low-cost up-date. Replace thekitchen faucet with asleek, better-function-ing style to elevate thekitchen design, but alsointroduce a newerwater-saving solution.Don't underestimatethe power of paintWith color trends

constantly changing,and the focus on colorin the home becomingmore prominent, afresh coat of paint canchange the look andfeel of a space almostinstantly. With thechanging season, optfor colors that addwarmth and comfort orchoose a bright color tocombat the gray ofwinter. Paint can alsohelp cover up unsightlywall marks and stainsand provide the back-drop for new decor andfurnishings for a wholenew look. To ensureyour new look hasstaying power, makesure to purchase a qual-ity paint specially for-mulated for thekitchen.

Lighten up in the kitchen

Kitchen lighting iseasy to overlook. Ifthere are outdatedlighting fixtures in yourkitchen, or simply notenough light, consideradding new whimsicalpendant lights orsplurge on a stunningchandelier to create afocal point. Simplyadding lighting underthe wall cabinets anddimmer switches canintroduce a new am-biance to the space. Avisit to your local homecenter or lightingshowroom will giveyou plenty of ideas.

Give your kitchen a fresh face this fall
