7 Brilliant Moving Day Tips

Image
Moving day! After months (and maybe even years) of planning, strategizing, house-hunting, and packing, the big day is finally here: it's time to move into your new house at the Lake of the Ozarks . A few weeks ago, we explored some of the things to do before you move in order to make the process easier, but what about moving day itself? What are some tips and tricks of the trade to make the big day go a little more smoothly? Fran Campbell Team is here to help you out! TIP #1: Charge Your Cell Phone Most people spend way more time on their cell phones than they realize on moving days. While this is certainly not a day to waste time playing Angry Birds, many people end up spending a lot of time on their cells coordinating with movers, family members, and friends. The last thing you want is for your phone battery to die at a crucial moment! Make sure your phone is fully charged the night before and bring a charger with you in case you need it. TIP #2: Get Up Early On Movin...

FACTS VS FICTION - Staging Your Home

Image
Welcome the second installment in our newest recurring blog series, "FACT VS FICTION." This week, we're here to take a critical look at staging your home. "Home staging" is the process of decorating and displaying your home in order to make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers. As with anything else, there is generally a right way and a wrong way to go about the staging process. Fran Campbell Team is here to help you understand what strategies will help you achieve success. FICTION: I don't need to stage my home; the lived-in look will give buyers an at-home feel. FACT: You DO need to stage your home, no matter what. Home staging is a crucial part of selling your home at the Lake of the Ozarks . "Lived-in" is often a euphemism for messy and cluttered, both of which are major turn-offs for prospective buyers. Staging your home is also your opportunity to depersonalize the space - by removing family photos and other personal knickk...

Image
Don't be fooled! Selling your home does not have to be challenge. In fact, with the right real estate agent on your side, it can be as easy as one, two, three! Here's a quick glance at how Fran Campbell Team can work with you to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks quickly, easily, and effectively. Step 1: List Your Home The first step to selling your Lake home is getting it ready to list and show. Here are a few suggestions for getting your home ready to list and sell. Make Any Necessary Repairs . If you never got around to fixing that leaky faucet or repairing that crack in the ceiling, now is the time to do so. Homes in need of repairs generally take longer to sell - and they ultimately usually sell for less - than their well-maintained counterparts. Consider A Few Upgrades.

6 Things They Don't Tell You About Renting

Image
Many people are told that renting is more affordable than owning your own home at the Lake of the Ozarks , and that it's a good idea to rent a home for a few years before taking the plunge and buying a home of your own. What they are not told, however, is that renting comes with a unique set of challenges and disadvantages that can be avoided by purchasing the property outright. Fran Campbell Team is here to help educate you on the downsides of renting versus owning your own home. 1. Renting Comes With Restrictions When you are renting, you are subject to the restrictions placed on you by the property owner. Consequently, renters often find important decisions being made for them instead of by them. For instance, the property owner may place serious restrictions on the types of pets your allowed to have (if any) and whether or not you are allowed to raise children in the home. 2. Renting Does Not Have Any Long-Term Benefits As a full-time resident of the home you rent, it ...
