When selling a property, you may not manage to do a complete overhaul. You can just do a handful of small steps on the weekends to make it more appealing to prospective buyers. If it’s a home, you wouldn’t want to completely depersonalize it. Just make it attractive to a wide range of potential buyers. Here are tips to attract a buyer’s attention.

1. Make the First Impressions Count

 

The first impression that people get when they visit your property speaks volumes. Ensure that your home has a curb appeal. Properly maintain your fence, lawns, driveway, front door, and letterbox. Make your outside space inviting since it’s a great selling point.

The first thing prospective buyers look for is a clean environment. Therefore, make sure that the entrance to your home is clutter-free. Remove any shoes, coat racks, and umbrellas out of the way. Make sure the area is free from garbage or dirt.  

Also, make sure that your front door isn’t faded or chipped. Your walkway or porch should not have any debris or leaves. Spruce up the entrance by applying new paint to your trim and door. You can also replace your lighting elements and house number so the house can look new.

Whenever prospective buyers cruise the neighborhood, they’re usually on the lookout for manicured landscaping. This doesn’t mean that you should take any design risks. Just stay simple since unique designing decisions do not necessarily appear charming to many people.

2. Change Your Interiors

 

The exterior of your home can create a good impression if you’ve done a great work there. However, all that can be a waste of time and energy if your interiors are awful-looking. Therefore, give them some due diligence so that no prospective buyer turns away. Your interiors should be an extension of the elegance in your outdoor space.

Declutter your house. Paint walls anew. Install new lighting or upgrade the existing one. Ensure that your interior is as inviting as your outdoor space. Do necessary repairs such as fixing cracked tiles, broken door knobs, and threadbare carpets. Many buyers won’t spend much of their money and time repairing what they’ve just bought.

3. Freshen Up the Air

 

Bad odor can turn off prospective buyers. You should fix any odd smells within your home. Don’t just cover them up. Make your home clear of garbage and fix your drainage if there’s any problem with it. Brew a fresh coffee pot to create an appealing, simple, and familiar environment.

Beware of pets. Not everybody loves them. Some prospective buyers might have allergies, while others may not be fans of animals. All in all, ensure that your home’s air is fresh enough so that you don’t keep off people who may be interested in the property.

Conclusion

You don’t need to make a complete makeover in order to sell your property. However, there are adjustments that you must do in order to attract prospective buyers. Ensure that your home has a catchy first impression by making its outside space as inviting as possible. Do not stop there. Apply some fine touches to your interior space.

Qitmir!

Dia senyap. Ekornya tidak berkutik seperti tadi. Setelah aku lalu, baru dia berlarian seperti anak kecil dipanggil pulang untuk mandi petang. Hairan juga, bagaimana anjing yang tidak punya akal, semacam tahu saja yang Qitmir itu raja mereka. Bagaimana? Garu juga kepala aku mencari jawapan.

"Bagi kau anjing itu hina atau mulia?"

Logiknya, sudah terang namanya anjing, mana ada yang mulia. Sudah tentu ia hina. Bukan H.I.N.A. (dari akronim yang aku cipta). Pelikkan?

Anjing.

Kenapa bila kita menyumpah seranah, laju saja mulut meng-anjng dan mem-babi-kan perkara yang menggerutukan emosi, mental serta jiwa kita? Apa yang kitakan dapat dari zikir yang tiada padanya suatu keberkatan?

Puas!

Puas kata mereka. Iyalah, tengah berang dapat pulak jerkah nama binatang yang hina, memang dapat lempiaskan kemarahan dan dalam masa yang sama melepaskan geram! Kelakarnya, dosa pun berganda.

1- Dosa menyumpah seranah dan memaki hamun

2- Dosa membuat orang yang mendengar terjentik hati dan bermasam muka

Anjing!

'Kenapa tidak keduanya?'

'Babi?'

Kau berkerut dahi.

Apa mesejmu dari kehinaan dua binatang ini?

"Ustazah, babi tak terasa ke bila kita pandang hina dekat dia?"

"Ustazah, kenapa babi wujud padahal dia takde manfaat pun untuk hidup?"

Maka, ustazah hanya mampu tersenyum geleng kepala. Duhailah muridku ini....

"Kau ni tak baiklah cakap babi. Babi, babi, khinzirlah!" tegur kawan yang satu. 'Skema' sikit budaknya.

"Eleh, kau pun cakap babi jugak. Kata orang. Dasar anjing!"

Ah, sudah! Pantang dibenarkan bersuara, laju saja mereka bertingkah. Yang satu anjing, yang satu menikus seperti kucing dan yang lain pula bersorak seperti babi.

Siapalah yang buat tahun binatang ni?

-Kenali sejarah dan perihal zodiac dalam kalendar cina-

Tergelak dia sendirian membaca hasil carian google.

Aduhai, dunia, dunia...

Terjawab sudah kenapa kucing tiada dalam kalendar. Kasihan! Ditindas dek tikus rupanya....

"Allah tu Maha Halus. Dia bagi andaian dari setiap ciptaan-Nya agar manusia berfikir dan mengambil pengajaran. Satu, Dia nak uji ketaatan kita padaNya. Kedua, supaya kita manusia tidak berkelakuan seperti mereka. Jelek sekali!"

"Apa sikap yang ada pada anjing dan juga khinzir boleh kita jadikan sempadan ustazah?"

Dia diam. Teringat pada bacaan kajiannya. Allah Maha Hebat. Penuh dengan kesempurnaan dalam menegur manusia secara berhemah. Tunduk menekur memuji kebesaran Dia. -Hikmah perumpamaan dalam Al-Quran-

"Kamu tahu tak, tiada makhluq pun mahu dicipta menjadi yang hina. Kita harus melihat pada yang mencipta bukan pada yang dicipta. Sama seperti bila menerima teguran. Melihat pada isi bukan pada si penyampai..."-Anjing, anjing dan babi, babi-

Jadi, jawapannya mereka itu hina atau mulia?

Lihat pada diri kita. Siapa yang memandang itu.

Apa yang dipandangkan terpantul imej pada siapa yang memandang.

Siapa kita untuk menghukum?

Sikap mereka itu hak mereka, tugas kita menegur dan paling lemah mendoakan saja kebaikan bagi mereka. Lambat laun batu yang keraskan lekuk jua dek kerana titisan embun yang berterusan.

"Habis tu kan Ustazah, kalau kita tengah marah nak sebut apa? Ada ke perkataan lain yang dapat legakan kemarahan kita?"

"A’-uudzu billahi minas syaithanir rajiim"

Saya berlindung kepada Allah dari godaan setan yang terkutuk.

InsyaAllah bila diamal dapat surutkan kemarahan. 

###

Anjing
Salakannya bingit
Kadang memeritkan pendengaran
Suara tanpa bayangnya sudah menaikkan rasa gerun
Tapi bila dilihat, tidaklah menakutkan.
Air liurnya penuh racun. 
Bisa.
Siapa pun akan suka pada kecomelan yang sementara
Tapi, ia jua makhluk
Dicipta dari Pencipta yang sama
Yang kita sukar untuk bezakan, 
garis halus yang memisahkan.
Antara anjing itu anjing, dan anjing anjing.
Sukar untuk difahamkan.
Yang hina, bukan pada yang dilihat
Tapi pada yang melihat

###

Lega.
Suatu ilmu baru dia belajar.
Benar kata orang lama, mahu mengajar harus punya sikap bersedia untuk diajar.
Akhir kalam, dia sudahi semoga semua itukan berakhir dengan husnul khatimah....

Washington. D.C attracts a lot of people in the world. After all, it is a major political stage. It also houses a lot of great attractions. For this reason, a lot of people are interested in moving here and making it their new home. The city is full of possibilities and offers the ability to make a better life. However, moving can be quite a stressful thing to do especially that Washington, D.C is a big city to move to. Newcomers may find a lot of things new and the process of moving alone can be overwhelming. So before going and jumping into moving, you need to consider something and prepare yourself.

 

Here are five tips to moving to Washington.

 

1.  Make a prior research about the cost of living.

 

 

Before anything else, you need to do an advanced research on the cost of living in Washington. Since it is a big city, it may come as a surprise that the cost of living there is fairly high. In fact, it is considered one of the most expensive cities in the United States. A two-bedroom apartment especially if it is situated in the downtown area can be quite expensive compared to where you are right now. So in order not getting any surprises, make sure that you have done all your research needed before deciding your move.

 

2. Know how local taxes work there.

 

 

One of the biggest responsibilities that you are going to face upon moving to a new city is paying taxes. Washington's taxation system is pretty interesting so you have to make sure that you are prepared for it. Groceries, medicines, as well as utilities,  are exempted from sales tax, but among other things, renting a car or eating at a restaurant, you can expect to see a 10% tax.

 

3. You might want to consider downsizing.

 

Moving into a big city means that there is a big possibility that the amount of space you will be having in your new home is not the same as you have right now. You may be moving into a smaller space especially that it is a big city, so in order to avoid having too much stuff, you might want to consider downsizing first.

 

4. Hire a moving company.

 

Moving is difficult especially when you have to do it on your own. To make your life easier, you are going to need help from moving specialists. Hire a trustworthy moving company who can help you with your move to Washington. There are moving companies in Bremerton, WA that can guarantee a safe service and excellent moving experience.

 

5. Learn the routes and train schedules

 

 

Considering a big city such as Washington, it would be a good idea to have a good grasp of the city's routes and train schedules. This will make commuting a lot easier and it won't take you some time to adjust to the new method of transportation. Once you learn the routes and schedules, you can move around the city and enjoy. You will feel less frantic.
