5 Tips To Pack Like a Pro for Moving Day 1. Start early with decluttering! Sorting through belongings before packing can help you lighten the load and create a fresh start in your new home. Donate, sell, or toss items you no longer need or use. 2. Create a packing plan and prioritize room by room by breaking it into manageable tasks. Start with less frequently used areas and gradually move towards essential rooms. 3. Invest in quality packing supplies with sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers — important tools for a smooth move. Don't forget to label boxes clearly. 4. Pack an essentials box with must-have items for your first few days in the new home: Toiletries, a change of clothes, bedding, and any necessary medications should be easily labeled and easily found. 5. Enlist the help of friends and family or consider hiring professional movers who can efficiently pack and transport your belongings. Could you use more homebuying and selling tips?

Sellers: Are You Thinking of Downsizing? Are you thinking of selling your home for a smaller one? By downsizing, you might have less responsibility, maintenance duties, and even perhaps an increased cash flow — all of which can help reduce stress! Add to this the fun factor of more family time, more rest, and more enjoyment of a home that will be more manageable. If you’re thinking of downsizing it’s important to know all of the details and implications that swapping homes can entail. I can help — contact me today! #homesmartrealtywest #HSRW

Food Type: Snack Use tortilla wraps and a muffin tin to make individually portioned egg, salami and tomato bites — ideal for lunch boxes or picnics! Ingredients: 2 large tortilla wraps 4 eggs Chopped vegetables (optional) 6 slices salami 3 cherry tomatoes, halved, plus extra to serve Handful of basil leaves Instructions: Heat oven to 350F. Using a five-inch cutter (or a small plate) cut circles from the large tortilla wraps — you should get six. Use the circles to line six holes of a muffin pan, pushing them into the holes to make cases. Beat the eggs and pour them into the tortilla cases (you can add some chopped vegetables too if you like). Top each case with a slice of salami and 1/2 a cherry tomato. Bake for 15 mins until the egg has set. Top with a few basil leaves and serve with extra tomatoes and vegetable sticks. #recipe #homesmartrealtywest #HSRW

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus and you must not stay there. You must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee #motivationalmonday #homesmartrealtywest #HSRW

Open Houses and Other Homebuyers Ready to go on an open house adventure? Before you step inside, channel your inner detective and indulge in some good ol' people-watching — you’ll be surprised how much you can learn just by observing! If you spot people breezing through the home without much interest, it could be a sign that something's fishy. But, if you see people gathered in the yard, deep in conversation with an agent, that could mean the property is a hot ticket! Inside, be aware of what other buyers are saying and check out what catches their eye. Their comments are like golden nuggets, revealing the true value (or lack thereof) of the property. Even better, take me with you! The agent holding the open house represents the seller's best interest, not yours. It's always great to have your REALTOR® with you. #homemsartrealtywest #HSRW
