Image
When buying a Lake of the Ozarks home , it may seem like there are too many things to consider. In reality, you are looking for a good home for your family, space to grow, in a town that you will love.

How to Clean A Variety Of Flooring Types

Image
While Spring Cleaning may be far behind you, August 3rd is Clean Your Floors Day. It's a great chance to get down and perform a deep clean on all of your flooring types, from carpet and wood to tile and vinyl. Whether you're selling a Lake of the Ozarks home and you just want to get it spic and span, or you've just bought your home and are getting it ready to move in, there are several different ways to clean different flooring types. Cleaning Wood Floors Over time, wood floors can get a build up of  dirt, oil, and grime, and they aren't completely removed by a weekly dust mopping. When you want to really get a good, deep clean on your flooring, you can use a wood-cleaning product diluted according to the instructions. Soak a sponge in the mixture, and the wring it to almost dry. You don't want to soak your wood floors, as that will cause damage. Damp-mop your flooring, and be careful that you don't leave standing water anywhere. Rinse the floors with a ...

9 Tricks To Make Your Home Seem Bigger

Image
While they certainly can sell, small, cramped homes often have more difficulty attracting interested buyers than their larger, more spacious counterparts. Buyers are looking for homes with plenty of space to hold their families and their belongings, and tiny homes may not rank high on their lists. However, even small homes can be made to look more spacious! Staging and decorating tactics can go a long way when it comes to visually increasing the size of your home. If you are trying to sell your house at the Lake of the Ozarks (or give your current home a makeover), give these simple tricks a try. 1. Hang Mirrors Mirrors are one of the quickest, easiest ways to add visual space to any room. If you want to seemingly double the size of your room, consider installing mirror glass on one entire wall. Even if you don't want to dedicate a whole wall to mirror space, hanging some decorative ones can still help you achieve the desired effect. 2. Use Stripes Long, vertical strip...

Have you been thinking about selling your home? With springtime finally here, it could be the perfect time to relocate or treat yourself to that newer, bigger home you've been dreaming about. If you're planning to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks , there are certain things you can do to help speed up the process - and certain things you should NOT do. Here's a quick list of things you shouldn't do if you're trying to sell your home. DON'T Get Sloppy Buyers have a lot of different homes to choose from.

Now is the time to embrace that inner OCD and keep your home spotless at all times! DON'T Wait For The Buyers To Come To You Simply sticking a "for sale" sign in your front yard isn't going to cut it. (Besides, some homeowners assoc...
