While February 18 is celebrated annually as National Drink Wine Day, drinking wine isn't a one-day affair. Wine does come with its share of benefits such as lowered risks of liver disease, heart attacks, stroke, type II diabetes, and some types of cancers.

Imagine a month after you move into your new house, the refrigerator suddenly breaks down or you wake up to no heat in the middle of winter. It can be inconvenient, stressful, and expensive to repair or replace malfunction appliances and systems. Not exactly what a new homeowner wants to go through. Purchasing a home warranty can protect you against the unexpected.
Did you know February 10 is National Home Warranty Day? Our real estate agents give a breakdown of what home warranties are, what they cover, and why you should consider investing in one.
A home warranty is not the same thing as a homeowner's insurance policy, but rather a contract between a home warranty company and a homeowner that pays the cost of repair and replacement of a home's major components. Separately, homeowner's insurance covers major perils such as property crimes, fires, and water damage that could affect the homeowner's personal possessions or the entire structure. If you have a home warranty, you have a service contract to help if there's a need for costly repairs or when you have to replace a covered item in your home.

With your open house right around the corner, it's natural to focus on tidying, organizing, and staging the main areas of your home, like the living room, kitchen, and master suite. However, you should also spend some time on the other rooms in your home, like the laundry room, mudroom, pantry, and hallways. If you need advice for staging these minor areas, our real estate agents can help you figure out what changes will make your home more attractive to prospective buyers.
