How to Avoid a DIY Disaster When Tackling Home Improvements

 

Home improvement projects are rarely inexpensive. If you're good with your hands, it can be tempting to tackle the job yourself. But for every DIY-success story there is a project-that-ends-in-disaster story. And when something goes wrong, it can go wrong quite spectacularly and expensively.

That's not to say that you should never attempt any DIY. But it's certainly sensible to approach any... Read More

Selling Your Home—What to Do
about Sale Contingencies

 

After listing your house for sale, one or more potential buyers might make a purchase offer soon. Since most people already own a home, you are likely to receive offers that are contingent upon the buyer selling his or her house first. Should you accept a contingency offer, wait for a better deal, or make a counteroffer? The following is important information on contingencies to help you make the best decision.

What Are Sale Contingencies?
A contingency offer means the buyers need to sell their property before they can close on yours. In some cases, the property may already be sold... Read More

Easy Summer Style Tips
for Outdoor Dining 

 

Are you planning to do more outdoor entertaining and want to leave your guests wowed by your incredible summer style? Try these outdoor dining decor tips:

Shade Style
Be sure to offer your guests a respite from the sun with an overhead shade covering.

Want to Know What Your Home is Worth?
Featured Testimonial

by Chiara
 
I was a first time home buyer and I really didn’t have a lot of experience in purchasing my first home.  Lisa really made me feel comfortable and her knowledge really influenced many of my decisions.  At first, we did look at a handful of places and finally we found the perfect place for me to call home.  I would recommend Lisa and Wenzel Select Properties to anyone that is purchasing property.  I can’t stress enough how happy I am and how glad I feed that I decided to work with them.  Thanks again for everything!
