Buyers, you are entitled to representation and the seller most often will pay for it.  It is your right. 

I had a seller who bought her house without representation.  She didn't have a home inspection because the seller told her she didn't need one the house was recently rehabbed and had a use and occupancy certificate.  When she moved in she found out the roof wasn't attached to the house and the drains were all blocked with construction debris and over flowed.  The basement leaks water.  There were numerous other problems with the house that would easily have been picked up on an home inspection.  The repairs were costly and put her in over her head and has since sold the house as a short sale.  Lesson to her, she has told me she will never buy a house without a buyer's agent again.   Let that be a lesson to all of you as well.

The market remains fairly stable despite record low interest rates.  The number of new listings has remained stable we are still seeing a similar number of homes going under contract and settling.  I'm surprised I'm not seeing more individuals making the decision to buy with so many great deals available.  The weather has started to warm up, the robins are back and spring flowers are poking through the ground. Many people have put off their home buying for the seasonal activities of Christmas, Hannukah and other festivities.  Now with the economic stimulus changes and low interest rates it will be interesting to see how this all changes.  Overall, there has never been a better time to buy, than right now.

We only have one earth and we really do need to take care of it so that it will be here for future generations to come.  One of the staples in my household cupboard is baking soda.  I buy it when it's on sale and often get it for 3 boxes for $1.  It goes a long way.  There are a lot of great environmentally friendly products available for cleaning.  Here are some inexpensive ideas.

Carpets - Before vacuuming, shake baking soda over the carpeting; it will help absorb odors.  For spot cleaning, try that natural wonder, vinegar.  Spray it on, scrub out the spot with a washrag and don't worry about the vinegar smell, it will soon dissipate.

Upholstery - Sprinkle stale cushions and chairs with baking soda, then vacuum after letting it sit for a while. 

General Odors - Make your own scented sprays by mixing distilled water, isopropyl alcohol (ieep this away from heat and flames, as well as from children and pets) and several drops of your favorite essential oil in a spray bottle, then spray wherever needed.  For especially stubborn smells, some people swear by zeolite, a natural mineral with tiny, tiny pores and an ability to soak in the worst of odors.

Garbage Cans - sprinkle the bottoms with the natural mineral borax to prevent mold and fungus, and to keep away insects.

Household Gateways for Bugs Spring is when ants and other critters start running amok; fine for the outdoors, maybe, but not in your house.  To keep them from crawling in, mix equal parts sugar and borax in a shaker bottle, then sprinkle along likely household entry points (keep away from areas accessible to children and pets).

Laundry - to brighten your whites and keep your colors looking bright add a scoop of borax to your wash water.
