The Importance of a FINAL Walk Through

Link to Original Photo Web Page

If you have purchased a home before... you very likely did a Final Walk Through before signing the closing documents. If not... then you should have! :) :) 

I always tell my buyers that it is very important to do a final walk through before signing on that dotted line! In fact it is my preference to do the final walk through and then head straight to the closing. I really don't like doing the walk through the day before even! 

The reason for this is simply because... things CAN go wrong and better we know of an issue before we sign.. than after. 

What if a pipe burst? A seller took something that was supposed to convey with the property? Water leak? Heat/Air Unit isn't working property?Tree fell on the house!?! (Yes I know that is likely extreme.. but hey you never know!)

So if you are buying a house and getting ready to close.. make sure you do a final walk through! Its always better to be Safe than Sorry

:)

I found this really great article sharing 7 things that you should do during your Final Walk Through... I most definitely agree with these tips and have all my buyers check these things before leaving the house. 

7 Things to Do at your WALK THROUGH

Hope you enjoyed the article!

LaSalsa's Here we COME!

I don't know about ya'll but I will be the first to say that I was VERY excited when I heard that the LaSalsa's Restaurant was coming to Marion, NC! 

It is always exciting for me to see new business coming to our wonderful town. I like knowing that we have more options in Marion for people to eat, entertainment, shopping, etc instead of seeing business go out of the county!

LaSalsa's has had a restaurant in Morganton for quite some time and every time I go there I am always seeing people from Marion. 

They opened up their new restaurant in Marion last week and I was able to go by there on Sunday!

YUM YUM

The interior of the building is very nice... very festive decor.. and very clean! 

I wish them all the best and hope that they are incredibly productive in their new location. Can't wait to go back :)

Who else has been able to eat at their new location?

Have a great MONDAY!

From DRAB to SHAB!

Anyone that knows me on a personal level knows that in my free time I like to "unwind" by redoing furniture! I love the feeling of seeing an old piece of furniture come back to life again with just a little TLC. 

Below you will see some of my most recent furniture redos. I wish I had before photos of all of them to share with you but I am forever forgetting to get that "before" photo shot :)

There is no quicker way to update a room than a little paint! If you have some furniture that is looking a little outdated.. throw some paint or stain on it.. and VOILA! You will have an updated piece that will help make any room look newer and fresh.

If you are considering putting your house on the market go through your home and see what pieces of furniture you currently own that could be updated to help make your home FEEL newer. When a buyer walks into a room, having a well staged layout is only going to increase the likelihood that THEY could see THEMSELVES living in your house.

As always... Pinterest is a GREAT way to get inspired :)
