Christmas Parade

Now that it is officially the countdown to Christmas there is no lack of Holiday Cheer to enjoy. One of my favorites is the annual Christmas Parade. In each community there is planning and anticipation by both the ones who enter the parade and those that plan to attend the parade. Then the icing on the cake is Santa Claus coming to town!
Farmville, Virginia is no exception and this years' Christmas Parade, put on by the Farmville Jaycees, is themed “A Country Christmas”. I am excited to see all of the work that the entrants have done to again make this a small town tradition worth talking about.
For More information on the parade or other events by the Farmville Jaycees visit their website at: http://www.farmvillejaycees.com/

Now that it is officially the countdown to Christmas there is no lack of Holiday Cheer to enjoy. One of my favorites is the annual Christmas Parade. In each community there is planning and anticipation by both the ones who enter the parade and those that plan to attend the parade. Then the icing on the cake is Santa Claus coming to town!
Farmville Virginia is no exception and this years' Christmas Parade, put on by the Farmville Jaycees, is themed "All About the Lights" as this year’s parade will be held at night. I am excited to see all of the work that the entrants have done to again make this a small town tradition worth talking about.
For More information on the parade or other events by the Farmville Jaycees visit their website at: http://www.farmvillejaycees.com/

A trend in real estate is for sellers to have their homes “staged” to sell. This is a marketing strategy that makes the home look like a model home by dressing the interior and exterior in the most presentable way. There are professional companies that offer staging services or a homeowner can do a few simple things themselves.
COME CLEAN: Buyers want to see the home and not a pile of dishes in the sink or a yard full of toys that haven’t been put away.
DECLUTTER: Get rid of any unnecessary items and make each room looks appropriate according to its purpose. Try to depersonalize as much as possible and keep décor tasteful.
COLOR CREATIVELY: A pop of color with pillows, throws, plants or paintings can make a room stand out. Also make sure the exterior and interior looks fresh and not in need of a coat of paint. *A good neutral color works best if you need a new paint job.
WARM WELCOME: Making your home appealing and inviting makes buyers have a sense of belonging the moment they walk-in. A front mat, a wreath on the door, potted plants, rocking chair or a welcome sign are all inexpensive ways to achieve this.
CURB APPEAL: Make your yard an attractive place free of weeds, debris or clutter. Have the grass mowed and the walkways clean. Use plants and shrubs to highlight the home and yard.
These are just a few ways that a little effort can go a long way in getting your home SOLD!

It's Our Anniversary!! We are beyond blessed to turn 50 Years Young today. Thank you is not nearly enough to everyone that has, does and will trust us to handle their real estate needs.
The Birthday Pants: These circa late 1970’s patchwork pants bought at Baldwin’s in Farmville for $35 make their yearly appearance on August 1 to celebrate two birthdays-Larry’s and State Wide Realty Co. Each year they do not disappoint in providing a celebratory feeling to everyone that sees them and a sense of pride that they still fit. So this week we honor the pants that let us know when the big day is upon us.
Farmville Features: Two more attractions that you will find in our hometown are Wilck’s Lake and High Bridge Trail. These outdoor destinations highlight the beauty that is unique to South Central VA. Just two more reasons why we LOVE our town!
State Wide Realty Co Agents are Members of the South Central Association of Realtors. We Have 5 Agents That Have Served As President of the Association.

50 Years in 52 Weeks: Wk 10 Our Broker/Owner Larry D Atkins
0 Comments Posted
50 Years in 52 Weeks: Week 10
Spotlight on Our Broker/Owner:
Larry D. Atkins
Larry was born and raised in the Farmville, VA area. At the age of 15 he became the youngest person in Virginia to obtain a real estate license. Larry joined the Air Force and served four years stationed in the U.S. and abroad. Upon returning to his hometown, he renewed his love of real estate and started working with his dad, Basil. On Larry’s birthday August 1, 1972 State Wide Realty was opened. Larry has two kids that work alongside him everyday. He contributes to his community through sponsorships, serving on boards and supporting other local small business owners like himself. In his spare time, Larry likes to collect antique Farmville items, hunting and fishing.
50 Years in 52 Weeks: Week 9 Remember When Contracts
0 Comments Posted
50 Years in 52 Weeks: Week 9 Remember When Contracts
Remember When: We are old enough to remember when real estate purchase contracts were 1 page. The contracts in Virginia are anywhere from 8 to 10 pages and that does not include any disclosures or addendums. Here is an example of an old purchase contract State Wide Realty once used.
State Wide Agents find ways to donate their time and talents to the communities they work and live in. They have helped plant trees for Earth Day, coached youth sports, are members of community organizations, volunteer fire fighters, church groups and also helped distribute food boxes during the pandemic.
Community Involvement: State Wide Realty Co is dedicated to being involved in the community we serve. One way that we like to stay involved is through sponsorship of youth sports teams. Here are some photos of the State Wide Realty teams over the years.

State Wide Realty Co Answers: When Is The Best Time to Sell?
As a Broker, I am always hit with the statement "when I'm ready to sell, I'll call you". Well that leads to the question, how do you decide to sell or not to sell? I have had clients that didn't have a choice and couldn’t sell because they were underwater on their mortgage and then 1 have had some that just wanted to see what they could get and if it sold great if not oh well no big deal. There is a lot to consider when deciding to sell your property or house. You should consider if the market is up or are values struggling. Do you need to get rid of the asset, how long can you afford to have it on the market? These types of questions are best answered when you contact an Experienced State Wide Realty Realtor, someone who can tell you honestly if it is the best time for your home/land to be on the market and how much they think it would sell for. Let us help you decide "to sell or not to sell" with our over 400 years of combined experience we will guide you through the real estate process.

Now that it is officially the countdown to Christmas there is no lack of Holiday Cheer to enjoy. One of my favorites is the annual Christmas Parade. In each community there is planning and anticipation by both the ones who enter the parade and those that plan to attend the parade. Then the icing on the cake is Santa Claus coming to town!
Farmville Virginia is no exception and this years' Christmas Parade, put on by the Farmville Jaycees, is themed "A Creative Christmas Parade". The grand marshal for the parade will be local healthcare workers from Centra Southside Community Hospital. I am excited to see all of the work that the entrants have done to again make this a small town tradition worth talking about.
For More information on the parade visit their page on Facebook at

Well it’s that time of year that we gather together and celebrate what and who we are thankful for. Here are some fun activities to do with those you celebrate with.
1. Guess the Blessing: get everyone to write down what they are most grateful/blessed about and put in a jar. Then one person reads them aloud and everyone else tries to guess which person’s blessed it was.
2. Thanksgiving Trivia: as a group or in teams ask questions about the traditional Thanksgiving holiday and see who has the most knowledge.
3. Macy’s Parade Judge: Watch the parade and rank the participants from best to worst.
4. Binge watch movies: pick some of your all time favorites and make an evening out of it.
This list is just a couple of ideas that can help everyone interact and really enjoy the time spent together.
State Wide Realty agents, staff and family hope that you have the best Thanksgiving and know that we are truly grateful for our clients and all those that allow us to do what we do every day!

Everyone is anxious to close their first home but many are amazed when they run into delays - first the lenders and the inspections, then the holidays roll around…..you find yourself thinking what's next!?!
….TIME, it can kill a deal like nothing else!
1. Problems with the lender – This can happen for a number of reasons, ranging from underwriter delays and appraisals not coming in as expected. Find out up front, anything that you may need to provide to your lender to avoid delays.
2. Inspections not completed – Many home buyers think that the home inspection covers it all. Don't make this mistake, although home inspections are important, lenders may require termite, well and/or septic inspections as well. Ask your lender what, if any; additional inspections they require and your State Wide Realty agent what inspections the purchase contract included and whom is responsible for getting them done (you or the seller). If you wait until the closing to find out; then you have to find an inspector, get scheduled and then wait on their report.
3. Holidays - Avoid scheduling your closing around a holiday. Many people forget about the minor holidays that close down city and county offices. Having your closing around such a holiday can delay the recording of your deed, which allows the seller and other parties involved to be paid. So, if the seller says "No check – no key", you may not get into your home for three or four days if you close around a holiday.
4. Property Repairs – Keep in mind when asking for repairs after a home inspection to include wording about when the repairs are to be done prior to closing and if there is a delay due to unforeseen circumstances if money will be held in escrow and closing happen or if closing will delayed until such repairs are made.
5. Time Kills Deals – the longer it stretches out the more likely the deal will never close!! If it doesn't kill it, time can still be costly. Many lenders charge the buyer a fee for every day past the closing date that a deal doesn't close. Also your finance rate may expire and the rate may increase if you don’t close before your quoted rate expires. So be aware of these clauses and make sure you meet the deadline or are ready to pay.
Don't be an idle engine, watch for delays and push things along….ask questions and plan - it's the best way to keep a deal on track. You can rely on your State Wide Realty agent to take care of many of these things but make sure you are aware of the details too.
Need more advice before you decide, let us know. We'll be glad to help. Call 434-392-6163 or visit www.VaStateWideRealty.com today!
You are trying to make the decision whether or not to sell your home. Here are some of the top things to consider when thinking about selling.
How much do you owe on your home? This is important to know so you know how much you would have to list your home for in order not to have to pay to leave it. Remember to factor in closing costs, realtor commissions and inspection costs to the amount. If this amount is more that you could get for your home then now isn’t the best time to sell if you have a choice.
What can I get for my home on the Market? Contact a State Wide Realty Co agent and they will be able to give you an idea of how much your home would be able to sell for and how long it may take to sell by researching comparable sales and the current market conditions. This will help make the decision easier for when and if to list.
Does my home need repairs? Are there things that need fixing, replacing or updating? These things can adversely affect the amount you could get for your home. Making a list and getting estimates of how much it will cost to get your home in selling shape will help you to know if your home should be listed now or may have to wait until you can get these items resolved.
Another important factor to consider is when you sell your home, do you have somewhere to go? When you are going to relocate to a different area it is important to know how the housing market is in that area and if there are homes available where you want to move to.
These are just a few things that can factor into the decision of whether or not to list your home. Once you have made your decision to sell, why not SELL with the BEST?

Sold But Not Forgotten 2020 Part 1
Homes and Commercial Properties
Here are our homes and commercial listings that were SOLD in 2020. We are so grateful for all of our clients and can't wait to help more people find their dream property in 2021!
An age old real estate question, which matters more the house or the location? Well the reality is that there may have to be compromises on both to stay in budget.
Compromising on the House: There is no doubt you have a must have list for your new home such as number of bedrooms, square feet, etc. then when you hit the market for that home you realize your budget does not allow for everything and a compromise has to be made. Do you stay in the area you like and get a home that does not “fit” your needs but you can afford? Is a renovation possible down the road to make it more like the home of your dreams? These are the questions buyers ask themselves constantly.
Compromising on the Location: In every location there are areas that are more sought after than others. If the home you like is in an area that is known as troublesome or too far from jobs, schools and shopping, you may have problems on the resale. The one thing you cannot change about the home once you have bought it is the location.
So What Matters Most?
Overall, the location of the home matters more than the house does. As stated before you can fix a house to your liking but you cannot change the area the house is in.
Don't compromise on an Agent: Call State Wide Realty to help you find your home or land at 434-392-6163 or visit our website at www.VaStateWideRealty.com
If you're like most of us, you have a mortgage payment and every month you don't sell is another payment. So the question is not if you can afford to fix up your home to sell but if you can afford NOT to fix up your home to sell.
Now that you're with me, let’s talk about quick or low-cost fixes….NO big spending because you won't recoup that money!! Take an honest walk around your house and make a list of minor repairs, if you don't see anything ask your State Wide Realty agent.
Improvement ideas for your list:
Broken Fixtures – Light switch and outlet covers are inexpensive and quick to fix.
Change Light Bulbs – Make sure any room that has a light fixture has working light bulbs.
Fix leaky faucets –This is a potential “red flag” to buyers and usually isn’t a costly repair.
Doors that stick or won't shut- Better to fix it than leave a negative impression.
Cracked caulking – Re-caulking sinks and tubs give a crisp clean look.
Locks & Door Knobs - Tighten existing knobs…or splurge on an upgraded door knob and deadbolt for the front door.
Paint Interior Walls – We all have our own taste in colors; now that you're ready to sell change the paint to neutral colors to attract more buyers.
Paint trim and doors–Give your home a fresh clean look from the curb.
Tidy up the Yard - Trim the bushes, weed the flowerbeds and cut the grass. Pick up the kids toys and make your yard look inviting. Most of this will just take time and not cost a thing!
Pressure wash the house and windows - Let's face it nothing makes a house look cleaner than cleaning it!
Just keep in mind that these small things are helping to realize the big picture of selling your home.

The party might be a little different this year but that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the fun.
Decorate: Put lights and decorations on the outside and inside that remind everyone that it is New Years and a celebration. Party Hats, noise makers, and other celebration items can be placed throughout the house for convenience. Bubbles, confetti, and glow in the dark items are always a big hit. Have a message board to remember things about the night or what you are looking forward to in the New Year. Capture moments with a photo station with “accessories” to put on to be fun and festive.
Clock: There should be a clock that is visible so when the time to countdown approaches it will be ready for the big ball drop.
Make Room: Have plenty of space for dancing or playing games to wait out the ball drop.
The main thing to remember is that New Year’s is about being with those you love and having fun celebrating the beginning of a New Year.
Happy New Year!

State Wide Realty Tips when Moving from the City to the Country TO Quite frequently, our office gets calls on various tracts of land that we are advertising. Some of these calls come from people in the city that are planning to move to the country.
If you’re thinking of moving to the country you may begin your search on the internet. You may find that many rural land and lots don't have addresses with them that's because they usually do not have 911 addresses until there is a dwelling in place. The best way to locate such a property is to contact the agent and get the coordinates from features such as Google Earth. A word of caution, even armed with these coordinates, GPS systems can be very unreliable in the country. Take a back up map, so you don't find yourself miles from a phone without a signal for your cell or GPS.
When thinking of moving to the country, it's important that subdivisions in the country are not the same as in the city. In the city the word subdivision or HOA brings to mind a community of homes nestled together on nicely manicured streets. However, country subdivisions can vary greatly from 2 acre lots to 20 acres or more. These types of lots will allow for more privacy but you will still need to ask about restrictions and if there is a homeowner's association.
During your search for property in the country, it is also important to know a little about septic systems and wells.
Septic Systems
How they work: The most common septic systems have a 1,000 gallon tank located near the dwelling. The sewage goes in and overtime the bacterium liquidizes most of it which in turn flows from the tank to a distribution box. From there it goes to the drain field buried about 8 feet underground and is absorbed by the soil.
What you need to know: Septic systems are mostly trouble free and can go years without pumping. However, it is important not to put harsh chemicals in the tank because you will not need to add bacteria to a tank that has not been abused.
Wells - In most rural areas, a well is the only source for water. When having a well drilled it is safer to pay a flat rate instead of by the foot.
For many that move from the city, it comes as a surprise that trash pick-up is not available at their home - rather trash must be taken to a land fill. A trash compactor is very useful.
Many city dwellers look for property in rural areas for recreation. So it's important to note that you, your children or grandchildren do not need a hunting license to hunt on your own property even if you are a non resident. Also, a fishing license is not required for private ponds & lakes.
We hope this helps all the city dwellers moving to the country avoid any unpleasant surprises and find the perfect country retreat.

State Wide Realty Asks: What Impression is Your Home Making
0 Comments Posted
State Wide Realty Asks: What First Impression is Your Home Making?
When you are selling your home it is important to make sure that buyers are attracted to it from the moment they first see it. The goal is to have your home’s best features stand out and not be overshadowed by how the yard looks or things in need of repair.
Do a self-check. Maybe you always enter your home through the back door or the garage, go out and take a look of your home from the front how a buyer would see it. Are their items that need repair? How does the front door/porch look? Think about what would appeal to you if you were looking at your home for the first time.
Keep The Yard Clean. Your yard will be the first thing a buyer will see when coming to see your place so making sure things like the yard is mowed and there is no trash in the yard are ways to make your home look its best.
These things are important because the type of first impression your home makes will determine if a buyer will even decide to stop and look or keep on going.

There are certain cases where renting is a necessity for the individual or family. On the other hand there are many people that are renting when they could be paying a mortgage instead. Individuals that rent can be surprised at how much less they would have to spend per month on a home they are buying rather than renting.
This brings us to benefit #1 of home ownership: Your money goes toward YOUR home and not to pay for someone else’s. This helps your credit and your home will produce equity for you for the future.
Benefit #2 of owning a home is tax benefits. The interest paid on a mortgage and most of the property taxes are deductible. Consulting a tax professional to guide you on this would be a wise thing to do.
Benefit #3 of owning versus renting you can customize the home however you like without having to get permission first or be denied because the homeowner won’t allow it.
Benefit #4 are the feelings of stability and comfort you have knowing that the home you are in is yours and that you have this place to come to everyday. Owning a home is a something to be PROUD of.
Benefit #5 of owning a home is having a solid investment. The value of your home will increase with every passing year unlike a vehicle that losses value almost immediately.

State Wide Realty: Farmville, VA Selling Your Home This Season
So, Fall is here and you're ready to sell? Fall is the shortest selling season of the year, with the holidays as your deadline. But the good news is, fall buyers are serious buyers – so chances are you could get your house sold faster. Now that you know serious buyers are coming your way….here are tips to grab their attention.
Curb Appeal – Landscaping is key to attracting attention
Keep the lawn mowed, seed and fertilize if necessary.
Rake the leaves.
Trim trees and prune the bushes.
Plant a few fall annuals like mums to add color to your landscape, if not make sure you clear out any dead or dried up flowers that may remain from the summer.
Exterior – Appearance and Upkeep
Clean the gutters.
Repaint trim or house if needed
Keep patio and backyard clutter free and inviting.
Hang an attractive fall themed wreath on your door.
Put out a seasonal door mat to welcome buyers.
Interior - Bring Autumn in.
Keep the house a comfortable warm temperature. Cold is uninviting to your buyers.
During the fall, it will get cool enough to open the windows and freshen up the house.
Keep adequate artificial light in every room, because your house may be shown later in the day or early evening - remember it's getting dark earlier now.
Bring in a few logs to stack by the fireplace – accenting your fireplace.
Avoid scary decorations for Halloween focus instead on the fall.
Use squash, baby pumpkins, acorns and pine cones to accent around the house or porch. Bring in fall colors with a vase of dried branches or leaves and fall colored flowers.
Paying attention to the demands of the season can help you add that special touch that may make all the difference.

Now that the air has started to get cooler and you can smell the pumpkin spice everywhere you go, it is time to decorate for Fall. Here are a few things you can do to get the Fall feel without breaking the bank.
Let nature be your guide. One of the best things about Fall are the beautiful colors that you can find in the things around you. The leaves provide gorgeous hues of reds, oranges, and yellows that can be used to decorate wreaths, tables, bowls, you name it. You can use nuts, berries and branches to accent your décor as well.
The vegetables that are available during the Fall harvest season are not only delicious but can be used for decoration as well. Pumpkins and other types of gourds can be used inside and outside due to the sizes, shapes and colors available. Be creative by painting your pumpkins a pattern or placing them in an arrangement. Corn is another vegetable that can be used to decorate with. The kernels make a nice addition to jars or vases to add color and interest. Corn in the husks can be hung on the door or arranged on a table for very little cost.
Getting your home ready for the season with the natural bounty is a great way to achieve a beautiful look without spending a lot of money.

This is a time when we like to say
that you Dad’s rock in a major way!
From morning to night
you make things right
whether it’s a bruised knee
or fixing the TV.
So kick back and relax
it’s your time to unwind.
And thanks again
for being so KIND!
When the weather is warm, many people find themselves spending more time outdoors. Why not make your backyard the “go to” place to have fun this summer.
Fire Up the Grill! Nothing smells or tastes better than hotdogs or hamburgers on the grill. Don’t eat meat? No worries throw some veggies on a grill mat or in a grill pan and dig in. Let the whole family in on the fun by allowing each person to pick a food item to be grilled. This will provide a night out and you don’t have to leave the yard!
Yard Games are A Must! There are numerous games that you can play that will provide fun for the whole family. There is cornhole, horseshoes, Frisbee golf, etc., that will provide not only fun but exercise and maybe some friendly competition as well.
Lounge Area! Make a spot, hopefully near a shade tree for your family to sit and relax. Add a rocking chair or hammock swing for extra comfort.
These are just a few ideas on how to make your backyard the “place” to be this summer.
Are you in the market for a new home or want to sell your current one? Call State Wide Realty Co at 434-392-6163 or visit us at www.VaStateWideRealty.com and let one of our 15 local real estate experts help you.
There are many things to consider when figuring an asking price for your home.
How much do you owe on the home? This will let you know what your bottom dollar needs to be and then you can figure a price after you include fees such as commission, deeds, inspections, etc.
What are similar homes in the area selling for? Look for homes with similar square footage, land size, construction year and upgrades. Check out homes that have recently sold and that are currently on the market so you will know your competition.
What are the conditions of the economy? Is it a good economy or a recession? Are there a lot of jobs and income for the people in your area? This is important because if the economy is bad that means not as many people will be able to afford to buy or if there are no jobs pulling people to the area the buyer pool will be low.
These all have influences on what you need to get from your home sale and what you can expect the real estate market to bring.
When you work with a realtor® at State Wide Realty Co, they will help you get this information for FREE by doing a Comparative Market Analysis. Call one of our 15 local real estate experts with a combined 400+ years of experience at 434-392-6163 to help you sell your home today!

This is the time we see the stores stocking the essentials for spring planting season whether it is flowers or vegetables. Here are 10 things to consider when planting a garden.
1. Provide a level surface. This can be done by grading an existing area or by making raised beds to plant in. AVOID planting on an incline so you won’t risk water runoff before it can absorb into the ground.
2. Loosen the soil before you plant. Tilling a larger area or using a shovel for smaller areas will accomplish this and allow for the seeds or starter plants to attract and feed off the soil’s nutrients.
3. Don’t plant too close to a solid structure. A wall or solid fence will not allow for proper air circulation for plants and can increase the likelihood of a fungus buildup. A good 2-3 feet of separation will work in most cases.
4. Know your area. What plants thrive the best in your area based on the climate, average rainfall, and soil type. If your soil is lacking in nutrients, you can add fertilizer to help your plants thrive.
5. Correct seed spacing and placement. Don’t put seeds or plantings too close together so that they won’t have room to grow. Consider the mature plant size when determining how much space you will need. Also, make sure that you aren’t putting things next to each other that will hurt each other such as a tall plant shadowing a smaller plant and not letting it get enough sunlight.
6. Water appropriately. Know which of your plants need a lot of water and which ones can handle the heat better. You don’t want to drown the plants just give them a nice drink preferably in the early morning when the air is cool.
Hope this helps to make your home garden grow.

State Wide Realty Tip: Farmville, VA
Ways to protect your privacy when selling your home
It is stressful enough when you invite family and friends to your home not to mention when you put your home on the market and now people you have never met will be coming in your home. Here are a few things to do to keep your privacy while strangers are viewing your home.
Tip #1: You want to make sure you put anything away that has your full name, address and a company name on it such as bills. Also make sure that you don’t have diplomas or marriage memorabilia up that will give strangers your information they can use to open accounts or hack yours. Take down any personal information about your kids or other family members as well.
Tip #2: Make sure you lock up prescription medications so that strangers can’t take them or use your information to get medicines with.
Tip #3: Don’t leave your computer/tablet/phone where a stranger can access it and get information off of it to use.
Tip #4: Talk to your State Wide Realty agent about how you would like showings to go as far as the agent walking with the customers or allowing them to go explore on their own.

When selling your home there are numerous things to think of. One important thing to consider is what kind of impression does your home make when someone enters it? No one is saying it can’t look like you still live in the home you are trying to sell, it just shouldn’t look like you aren’t going to move anytime soon. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selling your home.
First, try to limit the amount of personal affects you display such as kid’s artwork, family photos, and such. When others come to look at your home they should be able to see themselves in the space and not feel like they are taking that space away from little Johnny or Jane.
Next, have a pet? Make sure any toys, treats, etc. are put up and not scattered throughout the home.
Also, try to limit any clutter that would make accessing or looking at a room difficult such as the treadmill in the guest room. Put away items such as plungers, toilet brushes, or things that would not appeal to the buyer.
Just remember, your short term inconvenience will make a long term impression!

State Wide Realty Tips: Farmville, VA How to Declutter Your Kitchen
The kitchen is a high traffic area in the home whether you are a cook or not. Your kitchen is a gathering spot for catching up and also for those things that magically appear and end up in the “junk drawer(s).” When the clutter takes over it can make any kitchen, no matter the size, feel cramped and nonfunctional. Here are a few ways to help you organize your stuff and keep the kitchen free from clutter chaos.
Tip #1: Clean off the countertops.
Only keep on the counters small appliances you use on a daily basis such as a coffee maker in a dedicated space. For all the others, utilize a cupboard or pantry space to house these items until they are needed. Not only will this make your kitchen feel larger but also give you more room to work.
Also keep decorations that take up counter space to a minimum. They can create clutter or obstacles when trying to prepare food. Be creative with your décor and instead of having a fruit bowl on the counter, use a mesh hanging basket that won’t use up counter space.
Tip #2: Organize Your Cupboards.
Store items close to where they will be used most often. For example, keep coffee mugs near the coffeemaker or cooking utensils near the stove. This will not only help in locating them when you need them but also make it easier to put back.
Tip #3: Eliminate The Junk Drawer.
It is extremely easy to just throw stuff in a drawer, close it and forget about it until that drawer becomes 2 drawers or dare I say 3 drawers. Evaluate the item for what it is, if it is junk then throw it away, if you will need the item again then put it away in the proper place.
Tip #4: Create a Multifunction Area.
Have a spot that can have a bulletin board for notes, a grocery list and drawers for takeout menus, receipts and appliance manuals. Having a dedicated space for these things will help to keep this clutter from ending up all over the house.
When your kitchen is free from clutter it allows you to be able to enjoy being in there whether you are cooking with family or entertaining friends. There are numerous websites/stores with the coolest organizers and space savers that you can utilize to help with the process.

State Wide Realty Explains: Common Financing Terms
0 Comments Posted
State Wide Realty Explains:
Common Financing Words
When purchasing a property, most individuals will need to finance all or a portion of it. There are a lot of different terms when it comes to borrowing money that can leave anyone asking-what does that mean? So we decided to take a few of the most common terms you may see and help you understand what they mean.
Pre Qualification: This means that you have been provided an estimate of what a sort of loan you can expect to obtain based on your credit score and what’s currently available. It is a good idea to get a prequalification letter to take with you on your house hunt. Pre Approval: This means you have been approved for the loan that you have applied for. There is a time limit for the approval in which the terms quoted are guaranteed. Locked In: This means that you have a certain interest rate if you acquire the loan within a certain amount of time, usually 30 days. The Loan Deconstructed Principal: Amount that is owed on the loan excluding interest. Interest Rate: Percentage amount of loan that you will be paying on the loan. APR (Annual Percentage Rate): The yearly cost of financing the loan amount. Term: The length of time over which the loan will be repaid. Amortization: Schedule of payments over a period of time to pay off the loan amount. Points: Amount of money that a buyer can choose to pay to the lender in order to get a lower interest rate. A point equals one percent of the loan amount, this is usually paid at closing. Closing: the point at which the loan is complete and the terms become active. Everything will be signed and completed at closing. Closing Costs: The amount of money that must be paid at closing to make the loan active.
Talk to the local bank and find out how they set up their loans and what other resources they can offer. A local bank will be familiar with the types of properties and homes that are being borrowed on and what is out there for the customer.

In whatever season you decide to buy a home there are factors to consider when making your choice.
What to consider about a home for the Winter Season:
How is the home heated/cooled? Depending on the heat source and the size of the home your heating bill could run high.
Is your area likely to get a lot of snow? How accessible is the home from main roads for traveling and getting in and out. If your home is on a back road, up a big hill you will have to think about shoveling your driveway and how long it might take for your road to be cleared.
Things to consider for Spring
April showers bring beautiful May flowers but that rain has to have somewhere to go. Does the home you are buying have good drainage systems such as gutters and ditches. You want to make sure that water doesn’t pool up against your home or erode the ground around your foundation.
Also look at the size of the yard and decide if you are able/willing to maintain it. A large yard might sound nice but having to cut the grass, weed eat and landscape a large yard might not be something you want to deal with.
Summer Stuff
What direction does the house face? Does it get a lot of sun? These things can affect your cooling bill so it is important to consider when buying.
Will you have to water the yard? This could be an added expense if a system isn’t already in place and it is a dry summer.
Fall Thoughts
The tree-lined drive is on the must have list but what about when the leaves fall off of them or they get damaged in a storm? Are you able to keep up with raking leaves or tree removal? These are certainly things to consider before you buy.
Your home should suit you in every season. Make sure you consider what your home will be like all year long and not just in this moment. It will save you a lot of heartache and time in the seasons to come.
Need help finding a home to suit you all year long? Call State Wide Realty Co at 434-392-6163 and have one of our 15 local real estate experts help you with their combined 375+ years of experience.

As exciting as the destination may be very rarely is the move to get there any fun. So we have some tips to help make the process of moving a little easier for everyone.
Tip #1: Pace yourself. Once you know the date you are moving, start a schedule of times to pack and focus on one area at a time. Trying to box up a whole house or even an apartment in a weekend makes it more likely things will be forgotten. As you get each area done, you can tag separate items that will go with you and others that will be sold or donated.
Tip #2. Have a Moving Sale. This will help cut down on the items you have to haul and can also help offset some of the moving costs. Whatever doesn’t sell you can donate to a local charity or organization that collects the items you have left.
Tip#3 Make a List. When you are moving it is important to keep track of what has been done and what still needs to be done. A list is a great way to reference your progress and help you not forget a step along the way. It is easy to forget having your address changed or scheduling to have utilities turned off when you are surrounded by boxes and coordinating a move. Make notes as needed on your list so you will remember if a follow-up action is required.
Tip#4 Pack Smart. Try to get moving boxes that have handles and are sturdy. Use packing materials and make sure your fragile items are well protected. Label your boxes clearly so you will know what is inside. Don’t over pack boxes or try moving heavy items alone. This will only hurt you and make the move that much harder. If you hire a company to move you make sure you do your homework by making sure they have insurance, what is included in the price and how others have felt about their service.
These are just a few things to help make your move out of and to a new adventure a little less stressful.

There are several credit reporting sites on the web that can let you know where your credit stands and also offer some advice on how to improve or maintain your credit score. Make sure to choose a reputable site that won’t use your information for unwanted purposes or that will keep running your score without your permission. These things can have a negative impact when a lender goes to check your credit for a loan. Don’t trust the web? No worries, you can visit your local bank and they can help you discover what your credit score is and what if anything you need to do to improve or maintain it.
Tip #2: Save Money
You will need to have money for your earnest money deposit , which is an amount of money you give as a deposit that shows your intention to buy the home and gets applied to your purchase price at closing. There are also other costs such as down payment and closing costs to consider as well.
Tip #3: Start Your Search
Once you know where you want to live and how much you can afford, now is the time for you to search and find just the rightState Wide Realtyagent. A State Wide agent will work with you through each step of the home buying process and beyond. Be careful when searching real estate online most websites have delays in updating information or will present information that is misleading or confusing. YourState Wide Realtyagent can tell you what is on the market now and also notify you when new listings hit the market.
Tip #4: Have Patience
It would be wonderful if everyone fell in love with the first home they saw and never had to look at another home again BUT that is very rarely the case EVER! Go into your home search with the understanding that waiting for the right place may be longer in some cases than others. This is a major life purchase that requires plenty of time and thought put into it.
Tip #5: Don’t Settle
Buying a home just to buy one is not a wise choice because you have to live in this home every day so make sure you are getting what you want. There may be some comprises you make but you want to avoid choosing a home just because you are tired of looking, you feel it is the only option or you feel pressured to do so. YourState Wide Realtyagent will work with you to make sure that you are 100% ready to put an offer on a home and do so in a no-pressure atmosphere where you are the boss.
The best advice that I can give about buying a new home is to try and enjoy it. Each property you see is one step closer to the property you buy and believe me once you walk through your own front door for the first time all the other stuff won’t matter at all.

State Wide Realty: Top 5 Things that Delay Your Closing
Everyone is anxious to close on their home but many are amazed when they run into delays - first the lenders and the inspections, then the holidays roll around…..you find yourself thinking what's next? Here are some top things that can delay your closing so you know what to look out for.
1. Lenders – This can happen for a number of reasons, ranging from underwriter delays and appraisals not coming in as expected. Find out up front anything that you may need to provide to your lender and deliver requested paperwork in a timely fashion to avoid delays.
2. Inspections– or and can help prevent any delaysMany homeowners think that the home inspection covers it all. Don't make this mistake, although home inspections are important some contracts may require termite, well and /or septic inspections as well. Make sure that any problems reported in the inspections have been addressed before closing. * Be aware, most lenders require certain inspections such as termite/well tests to be completed within a certain number of days of closing and if closing happens after that they may require new tests to be done.
3. Holidays – Factor in extra time when scheduling your closing around a holiday. Many people forget about the minor holidays that close down city and county offices. Having your closing around such a holiday can delay the recording of your deed, which allows the seller and other parties involved to be paid.
4. Property not ready – Make sure that the seller has removed all items not conveying with the property out before closing. A walk-through with your State Wide agent before closing can help you see that the property is ready for you to move in. This should be done within a few days of closing so you can address any outstanding issues with the seller and not cause a delay in the closing date.
5. Time – the longer it stretches out the more likely the deal will never close!! If it doesn't kill it, time can still be costly. Many lenders charge the buyer a fee for every day past the closing date that a deal doesn't close….be aware of these clauses and make sure you meet the deadline or are ready to pay.

Decorating on a Budget: How to Look Festive For Less

2.Fill Glass Jars with colorful candies: They not only look great but will offer a treat for folks that stop by.
3.Hang a strand of garlandand use red and green clothes pins to hang your Christmas Cards. This will be a great reminder of your family and friends and also something for guests to look at.
4.Ornaments:You can hang them from light fixtures, put them in a bowl or just set them around the house. These pops of Christmas cheer are great for adding bang with very little buck.
5.Pine cones and branches: add a ribbon or wrap some lights around them to make them festive and your done.
6.Ribbons & Bows:You can dress up your cabinets and/or bedroom doors with ribbon and a bow to look like a perfectly wrapped present or use them on a staircase or kitchen counter to highlight the area.

Looking for a new place to call home for the holidays? Call State Wide Realty Coat 434-392-6163 and let our 375+ years of experience work for you.
Send a card/write a note: The tradition of writing cards and notes may appear to be a thing of the past, but when you take the time to tell someone how much you appreciate them, it still makes an impact. Make the note personalized about why you are grateful. For example Dear Julie, the pie you made for my family and I was not only delicious but made us reminisce of pies we have had from years past. This shows the person you are truly invested in what you are saying and not just signing a card with someone else’s words.
Make a gift: There are tons of ideas on social media about DIY crafts that you can make and give to someone as a thank you. This doesn’t have to break the bank for instance you can make someone a paper fan and give it to them because they are so cool.
Pay a visit: Of course, if the person lives too far away this isn’t an option unless you do a virtual visit through the internet or a cell phone app. But if the person lives near then dropping by to talk to them and making that time will definitely show you appreciate them.
Pay it Forward: Being kind to others as someone was kind to you is not only the golden rule but makes you feel good as well.
Gratitude as Your Attitude: This will ensure that you take time to remember not to take anyone or anything for granted.
We are always grateful for our wonderful customers/friends that we have the honor of helping find just the right property. Our agents have a combined 375 years of experience and knowledge ready to use for you. Call us today at 434-392-6163 or visit www.VaStateWideRealty.com today!

State Wide Realty Tip:
How to Make Your Home Summer Ready on a Budget
Light and cool colors say summertime and make your space feel relaxing and comfortable. Aquas, corals, and yellows can be added to a room with pillows, a throw, area rugs or a cool painting.
Use denim in your design: A throw pillow or table cloth in denim is the perfect background or accent piece that adds a classic touch to your décor.
The American Flag/Red, White & Blue: There are plates, cups, napkins, placemats, etc. that have an American flag picture on it. Small flags can line your drive or walkway and even be arranged in flowers inside or out. Patriotic colors are easy to find in the summer and usually at a good price.
Get Creative: Your décor doesn’t have to be bought pieces but maybe items you found that you can put together, paint, glue or whatever to make it an original.

State Wide Realty Tip: How to Save on Cooling Costs.

State Wide Realty Tip: How to Save on Cooling Costs.
Here are a few ways to beat the heat…
Tip #1: Keeping shades pulled down during the heat of the day can help keep the sun from raising the temperature in the home. Also, using solar screens for your windows or radiant paint barrier for your attic are also effective in blocking the sun’s UV rays.
Tip #2: Adjust the temperature of the thermostat for times when no one is home and at night when it is cooler. This is easier to do now with “smart” thermostats where you can control your settings on your phone or computer.
Tip #3: Make sure that you maintain your cooling unit whether it is a heat pump or window unit. These units usually have filters that need to be cleaned or replaced. Check your owner’s manual for suggested maintenance of your unit. Also, make sure that have any duct work inspected regularly to make sure there are no leaks or clogs.
Tip #4: Whenever possible use fans to help circulate the cool air and keep the temperature down.
Tip #5: Cut back on how much you use the stove: Your oven puts off a lot of extra heat in the home so if you can choose quicker cooking meals or use the stove top or even an outdoor grill it will save you in the long run.
Tip #6: Make sure that doors and windows are properly sealed so your money is not literally going out the window.
These tips will hopefully help your cooling costs as the heat rises!

Nothing beats getting together and cheering on a team to victory. There are so many things that make a game day party great such as friends, family and don’t forget the FOOD. Here are some of our favorite things to do and make for the big game.
First the décor:
People like props such as a foam finger, beads, hats, glasses, etc. A bonus is these makeyour photos better as well.
Use themes, football or team colors for serving trays, bowls, plates and napkins. This is a simple way to add décor without have to spend a lot.
Offer interactive activities for the guests to do while they watch such as entering a guessing pool on who is going to win, vote for your favorite commercial, football trivia contest, or demonstrate your touchdown dance when a team scores. These activities make the guests havethings to look forward to.
Now the food:
This is a great time for finger foods. The game lasts for at least 3 hours so having foods that guests can munch on throughout is a good way to keep them from getting hungry again before they leave. If a meal is a must then you can offer a buffet of both main dishes and appetizers.
Dips, chips, and things go a long way. One universal dip can be paired with chips, pretzels, vegetables and more. Try to offer high protein items such as meatballs, cheeses, hotdogs, and hamburgers. These with will fill guests more than crackers.
Know your attendees allergies and accommodate for any special dietary needs. Know your ingredients so you can quickly identify them for someone who may need to stay away from something you put in a dish.
Don’t skip the sweet stuff. We all like a little sugar so offer fruit, cookies, etc.
to finish off the menu.
Now the game:
Make sure you have ample seating/standing room for your “diehard” football watching fans. No one wants to have to miss a play because someone’s head is in the way. Utilize seating at different levels such as pillows on the floor, bar stools and table chairs to accommodate. Also, if you have more than one television, play the game on both so that you can have several viewing areas. You will want areas with good sound so everyone can hear the calls on the field.

DIY Christmas Décor: Getting Your Home Holiday Ready for Less
Here are some ways to decorate your home without breaking the bank.
1. Flameless candles and votives make your space feel warm and inviting and can be bought at a reasonable price. You can wrap beads around the bigger candles to give them a festive look.
2. Fill Glass Jars with colorful candies: They not only look great but will offer a treat for folks that stop by.
3. Hang a strand of garland and use red and green clothes pins to hang your Christmas Cards. This will be a great reminder of your family and friends and also something for guests to look at.
4. Ornaments: You can hang them from light fixtures, put them in a bowl or just set them around the house. These pops of Christmas cheer are great for adding bang with very little buck.
5. Pine cones and branches: add a ribbon or wrap some lights around them to make them festive and your done.
These are just a few things that you can do and not be outdone on your budget.

Selling your home is a major decision that affects numerous other life factors. This is why finding the right person to list your home is as important and deciding to sell.
When choosing a listing agent, keep these things in mind:
1. Does the agent live and work near my property? An agent that is not familiar with home selling trends for your area will not be able to provide you with good insight on how to effectively market your home and sell it quickly.
All of our agents at State Wide Realty live and work in the South Central VA area and have a combined 375 years of experience. This knowledge helps you make the best decisions when it comes to selling your home and getting the most for it.
2. Who pays for the advertising of your property? Does your agent pay for advertising out-of pocket or does the firm pay for it? Understandably the budget of an individual agent is going to be less than that of the company.
State Wide Realty pays for the advertising of ALL of our listings so that each one can get the most exposure and be sold quickly. So no matter which State Wide Realty agent you choose you can be assured that your listing is being promoted to the fullest extent possible.
3. Does the agent have good reviews? Check to see if the agent has testimonials or reviews to give you insight on how they work with their clients.
Our State Wide Agents have customer testimonials and we value the relationship we build with each one of our customers. Some have come back to us after 40 years to sell a property we sold to them.
So when you are ready to make your MOVE call State Wide Realty Company at 434-392-6163 to get started with the company that has been #1 in South Central VA real estate for over a decade and counting!
So you have bought your new home –Congrats! Now it’s time to move in and start enjoying this home you have always hoped for. Well not so fast, first you have to get your stuff packed up to move. This is where I come in to help. Here are some packing hacks to make getting your stuff from the old place to the new place a little bit easier.
Get boxes from your local ABC (alcohol beverage control) to use for packing glassware or other fragile items. These boxes come with the dividers which make it ideal to use for drinking glasses or vases.
Have a big plastic bin of towels or blankets? Put fragile items such as pictures in between them to provide a cushy ride for the move.
Have a baby or know someone who does? Well those baby diaper boxes have handles and are good for packing up the contents of drawers, or small storage spaces. *Packing note: make sure you tape the boxes on the bottoms so no items drop out.*
For your clothes on hangers: take a large lawn & leaf trash bag with the drawstrings and cut a semi-circle at the bottom. Open the bag and feed the clothes on the hangers through the hole. Draw the string in to make sure the bottoms of the clothes don’t get wet or dirty. *Packing note: you may have to fold the bottoms of long dresses or pant in half to fit inside the bag.*
Of course you want to make sure you label what each box/bag/tote has in it and where it should land in the new house.
Hope some of these Hacks make your move a little easier!

When cold weather strikes there is a threat of your pipes freezing and/or bursting. The expansion of the water when it freezes iswhat causes the pipes to eventually burst. There are several things you can do to PREVENT your pipes from freezing.
1. Make sure all your pipes under the house, in the garage, outside are properly insulated or
covered with a weatherproofwrap or sleeve. Consult your plumber or home improvement
expert for the best types to use.

the winter time sun can provide that your heat pump won’t have to.

or if you could install a switch to turn your water heater off when no one will be there utilizing it.

Well it is YOUR year to host the family, friends, etc. for the holidays. What do you do? No; don’t start
drinking…Yet. First take care of some business and there will be plenty of time for the drinking
(non-alcoholic of course) part once the guests arriveJ.
Break out the Decorations. Do as little or as much as you want but having something that reminds
you and your guests why you are gathering will set the tone for the occasion.
Get Ready by Taking Inventory. Look at how much dinnerware you have, table space, chairs, etc
to accommodate your invitees. Knowing well ahead of time will allow you to borrow or purchase what is lacking.
Plan Ahead. Have the menu items, time and eating arrangements set.
The holidays are known for chaos so whatever you can do to avoid this will make your guests
and your own life A LOT easier.
Shop Early. Everyone is going to be looking for the same items such as turkeys, ham and such so shop
early for what you can freeze or store to avoid it being sold out when you go to get it last minute.
Make it Fun. Remember you are there to CELEBRATE and not exasperate!
So what if you forget to set out the cranberry sauce, it makes for good memories to talk
about next year!

State Wide Realty Answers: What is A Study Period?

State Wide Realty Answers:
What is A Study Period?
When purchasing land, there is a section in the contract that allows for the buyer to have a study period. This is a set number of days that will have to be agreed upon by both parties that allows the purchasers to study things about the property such as if it will perk or not. If during this period the purchasers find out something about the property they don’t like then they are free to walk away without penalty. You do not have to have a study period when purchasing land it is an option to discuss with your State Wide Realty agent whether it is necessary or not.
For more information on buying or selling land call State Wide Realty Co. at 434-392-6163 or visit our website at www.VaStateWideRealty.com
This type of agreement between you and the real estate agent and brokerage means that they are the only ones authorized to list your property for sale and that it is not available For Sale By Owner. This type of contract puts the pressure on the agent and the agency they work for to do everything they can to sell your property for you. Each agency is different in what they offer as means of advertising your property.
At State Wide Realty Co. we value each of our listings and we advertise each property in multiple venues to gain the most exposure. This is in contrast to other agencies that make the agents pay for the advertising of their listings. If an agent’s budget is low there may not be much advertising done.
State Wide Realty Co. is proud to be number 1 in Sales for South Central VA and we believe in putting our combined 375 years of real estate experience behind each and every one of our listings to get the job done. So if you want to sell or are in the market for a property in this great area, call State Wide Realty Co at 434-392-6163 or visit our website at www.VaStateWideRealty.com.
Summer Décor: How to Make the Most Out of Patriot Pride!
Summer is filled with times to celebrate how GREAT it is to be an AMERICAN with the unofficial start of Summer being Memorial Day, then Fourth of July and lastly Labor Day. Here are a few ways to get your home and yard looking ready for these holidays.
Use denim in your design: A through pillow or table cloth in denim is the perfect background or accent piece for accentuating your patriotic side.
The American Flag: There are plates, cups, napkins, placemats, etc. that have an American flag picture on it. Small flags can line your drive or walkway and even be arranged in flowers inside or out.
Red , White, & Blue: These colors can be placed throughout your home in pictures, flowers, pillows, covers, blankets, etc. Use these colors when picking outdoor arrangements and for accents on patio furniture or porch chairs.
Get Creative: Your décor doesn’t have to be bought pieces but maybe items you found that you can put together, paint, glue or whatever to make it an original. A popular homemade piece like this last year was the American Flag painted on wood pallets that you display outdoors.
The great thing about decorating in this style is that it will apply ALL Summer long and you won’t have to worry about changing it again, unless you want to, until after Labor Day!

Spring Fever: How to respond when the market is in full bloom.
Spring is what we realtors like to think of as the beginning of a prime selling season. This is great for those that are listing their properties and hoping to sell them quickly. There can be a down side for those that are jumping in the market to purchase.
There are a lot more fish trying to buy in the market pond. Listings will not be around as long or for as low compared to slower market times.
What can you do to be prepared?
First talk to a lender and find out what you are pre-approved for so that you can use this information when working with a realtor to search for a home or land. This will also help you if you choose to make an offer on a property to look more appealing to a seller than someone else who has not been pre-approved for that price range.
Next make sure that you are sure about what you are willing to accept and not accept about a property. Any deal breakers and must haves should be told to your realtor at the beginning to save time and not miss out on the home you really want.
Last but most importantly make sure your realtor is a State Wide Realty Co. realtor. Our agents have a combined 300+ years of experience selling real estate in South Central VA. We live and work in the areas we serve and can help you find the home or land that is just right for you.

Is Your Home Ready to Sell? What you should do to be prepared.
We all have fond memories of the home or homes that we have lived in and that can make it hard to let go when selling. So how do you let go? There’s a time when you have to remind yourself that your memories go where you go they aren’t stuck in a room or closet in the house. This will make leaving easier when you think of the new memories to be made and shared in your NEW home.
Make sure your home is clean and clutter free. Take down as much décor that is personal to you and your taste as possible so potential buyers can envision their things in each room and how they would decorate to make it their own. You don’t have to hide little Johnny’s picture in the closet but make sure he isn’t prominent in EVERY room so buyers won’t feel like they are taking little Johnny’s home away from him.
Staging your home is important when selling so that buyers can get a sense if there furniture will fit or if they will have to buy new stuff. Small touches such as flowers, accent pillows, or a mantle display can highlight your home’s best features. Ask your Realtor what their customers usually look for when buying and go from there.
Focus on the details such as having the carpets clean and free of stains, the floors free of dust, and windows clean. These things can reflect negatively on the home if you not taken care of and draw attention away from the true features of the home.

Tired of Renting? How Owning A Home Benefits YOU!!
There are certain cases where renting is a necessity for the individual or family. On the other hand there are many people that are renting when they could be paying a mortgage instead. Individuals that rent can be surprised at how much less they would have to spend per month on a home they are buying rather than renting. This brings us to benefit #1 of home ownership: Your money goes toward YOUR home and not to pay for someone else’s. This helps your credit and your home will produce equity for you for the future.
Another great benefit of owning a home is tax benefits. The interest paid on a mortgage and most of the property taxes are deductible. Consulting a tax professional to guide you on this would be a wise thing to do.
The next benefit of owning versus renting you can customize the home however you like without having to get permission first or be denied because the homeowner won’t allow it.
The last benefit we will discuss is the feelings of stability and comfort you have knowing that the home you are in is yours and that you have this place to come to everyday. Owning a home is a something to be PROUD of.

You have made the decision to purchase a home or to buy a new home, so what do you need for the house hunt? Just as you need the right gear to hunt animals there are things you can take on the house hunt to make it easier to find “just the right one.”
In your house hunting arsenal you could pack pen and paper. The more properties you see the more likely it will be that specific details of a single property will be lost amongst the crowd. Taking notes while you at the property on key features you like or dislike will help you when narrowing the list of potential winners.
The next item that would be handy is a camera. Capture how the house is laid out, the yard, certain items you find important. ALWAYS ask before you take pictures of any property, RESPECT the fact that it is NOT yours, YET.
Another handy tool would be a tape measure especially if you have a large piece of furniture that has to be in a certain room. Taking a quick measurement will let you know if your furniture will fit or if you need to purchase new items, to know what sizes will fit in the spaces.
Carry your must have list and check off what each house has on your list. This is a great way to narrow the list down when making the final decision.
Most IMPORTANT TOOL-A STATE WIDE REALTY AGENT- Our agents have the experience with over 200 years in the real estate and the knowledge of the area they serve being locally owned and operated since 1972. Any of our agents can and will make the home buying the celebration it should be!

#1 in South Central VA Sales for Over A DECADE and Counting!
Home Staging and Decor is a major part of selling your home. We have come across many good ideas on how to make small spaces feel bigger and therefore make the best impression on potential buyers. Here is a short list of the tips we have seen.
Tips to making your small space feel bigger.
Keep it Light. The wall color should be light and if there is any natural light that can come in, let it. If you are a fan of the dark colors than accessorize with it and keep the main canvases (walls, floors) light and neutral. Don’t Over Do It. In a small space everything stands out so make sure that you don’t overcrowd the walls with pictures or knickknacks.
Choose the right furniture. There are pieces that can perform multiple functions such as seating and storage. This will help you to make the most of the space you have and not have to cram in multiple items.
