Getting Your Home Ready For The Real Estate Market
When you are considering selling your house, you need to get your house ready for potential buyers. There are hundreds of homes on the market at any given time; therefore, you need to do everything you can to make your home stand out against the competition. The following article offers many tips to help get your home in tip top shape for the real estate market.
Personal Effects:
Potential buyers want to see your home, not your personal momentoes. Therefore, it is important to remove all personal effects from your home. This includes all family photos, knick knacks and trophies. By removing your personal effects from the home, you allow potential home buyers an opportunity to imagine themselves calling your house their home.
Pets:
Your beloved family pet can cost you a sale. Many potential home buyers have allergies and do not want a home where a pet lives. To help you get the most offers on your house, remove all pet items from sight and take your pet with you while the house is being viewed.
Brighten Your Home:
Buyers want a home that is bright and cheery. Open your blinds and curtains to allow the natural sunlight to filter in through your windows. One easy way to increase the amount of light coming into your home is to remove your window screens. Window screens block a lot of light from coming into your home; so, removing them will increase the amount of light that enters your home.
Clean Your House:
A clean and tidy home is essential when it comes to selling your home. Buyers seem to think that a home that is clean and tidy is a home that has been taken care of. One of the best things you can do before putting your home on the market, hire a professional cleaning crew to come and clean your home from top to bottom. When talking with the cleaning crew, ask them if they will wash your walls, shampoo your carpets and clean your windows. All of this will help ensure that your home is ready for potential buyers.
Clean Your Closets:
Potential buyers want a home that has ample storage space. Most of the time, buyers will want to peek into your closets and attic to see the amount of storage your home offers. So, it is important to showcase your storage. One of the best ways to do this is to remove any excess items and clothing from your closet and store them off-site.
Declutter Your Rooms:
You need to show buyers how roomy your home is. One of the best ways to do this is to remove any unnecessary items from each room. Clean off your counters, clean off your tables and remove any excess furniture from your house. Decluttering is more than picking up clutter; it is removing any unnecessary items from your home.
As this article has shown, there is a lot involved when it comes to getting a home ready for the market. Use the information in this article to help get your home ready for the real estate market. Happy selling!

The five: robots helping to tackle coronavirus
Automatons have been chipping
in with the effort to beat Covid, from disinfecting hospitals to delivering
groceries.
Boston Dynamics
Singapore park-goers have been reminded of their social distancing obligations by Boston Dynamics’ yellow “dog”. The robot hound is equipped with numerous cameras and sensors, which it can use to detect transgressors and broadcast pre-recorded warnings. The authorities have reassured locals it is not a quadruped data-collection device.
Starship Technologies
In Milton Keynes a recently
expanded fleet of six-wheeled robots has been delivering food and small supermarket shopping consignments
to hungry residents. The town’s
large network of cycle paths makes it ideally suited to the knee-high machines,
which trundle along at a top speed of 4mph. The company has been waiving its
delivery charge for NHS workers during the crisis.
UVD Robots
These Danish UV disinfection robots are being rolled out in Chinese hospitals. The machines deploy powerful UV lights, which destroy the DNA or RNA of any microorganisms in range. This effect of UV is well known but is dangerous to use if humans are nearby. However, the robots are able to learn the layout of hospitals and go about their work autonomously when medical staff aren’t present.
Zora Bots
The UN has equipped Rwanda with five anti-epidemic robots made by Belgian company Zora Bots to help against the country’s battle with coronavirus. The robots can screen a patient’s temperature, identify people not wearing masks and monitor abnormalities in how patients sound or look. They can also be used to deliver medicine and other essentials to the infected.
OhmniLabs
In Japan, OhmniLabs’ Newme robots have been used to replace quarantined students who were unavailable to attend their graduation ceremonies. The “telepresence” robots, which had a computer tablet for a head, were draped in an academic gown and each student made a Zoom call to “receive” their degree from a university official. A similar ceremony, using robots built by students, has been held in Nanjing, China.
Emma Watson joins board of Kering, the luxury fashion giant behind Gucci
Actor and
eco-fashion advocate to take a seat on board of conglomerate that oversees
Gucci, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen
Emma Watson, the actor and activist who made her name as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has joined the board of the French fashion giant Kering, in a major coup for the world’s second-biggest luxury group.
The British star, who was born in Paris, is the face of the Good On You app, which rates fashion brands on their ethical and sustainability credentials. Watson is also known for her work with Eco Age’s Green Carpet Challenge. She wears sustainable red carpet looks, frequently custom-made by top-tier designers, for most public appearances.
Although Kering is seen to have the environmental edge on its
rival LVMH, its top labels Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga are only rated
“Not good enough” or “It’s a start” by Good On You.
Watson “is one of the world’s most popular actors and best-known
activists”, Kering said in a statement after the appointment of the
30-year-old, who is also a high-profile women’s rights advocate and a UN
goodwill ambassador.
She was nominated on to the board by shareholders at Kering’s
AGM alongside the Ivory Coast-born former CEO of Credit Suisse Group Tidjane
Thiam, as well as Jean Liu, the president of “the Chinese Uber” Didi Chuxing.
Having lost
Stella McCartney – arguably the world’s most ethnical luxury
label – to LVMH earlier this year, recruiting Watson is a coup for Kering,
which is keen to win over millennials.
Kering chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault, who is married
to Hollywood star and activist Salma Hayek, welcomed the appointments.
“Their respective knowledge and competences, and the
multiplicity of their backgrounds and perspectives will be invaluable
additions,” he said.
The Kering group employed more than 38,000 people worldwide at
the end of 2019. Its turnover stood at €15.9bn ($17.9bn) last year, for a net
profit of €2.3bn.

Black Lives Matter: 'We need level playing field for future generations,' says Terry Connor
The former Wolves boss and Ipswich Town assistant shares his personal experiences of suffering racist abuse during his playing and coaching career and discusses the lack of diversity in English football's management roles.
By Rob Dorsett, Sky Sports News reporter
Republic of Ireland
assistant manager Terry Connor has spoken out for the first time in his 25-year
coaching career about his struggles with racism in football.
The date is June 22,
2008. Paul Ince has just been named manager of Blackburn Rovers, becoming the
first black manager in the Premier League.
Many thought and many
more hoped that it was a turning point. But in the 28 years of the Premier
League, only nine black men have managed in England's top division.
One of those is Connor.
He had 13 games in charge of Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2012.
"Maybe Paul getting
that job will still change things," he said.
"I worked with Paul
for a few years at Wolves, and he deserved that job. It did feel like a big
step forward, but it's a process, and it might take generations for us to get
true equality."
As a teenager, Connor was on the
books at his home town club, Leeds United, in the late 1970s.
He's
told me - and his children - how he had to run away from white youths when he
was a schoolboy player there, catching the bus to Elland Road from his home in
the Chapeltown area.
Connor
still remembers how he would always sit near to the driver on the bus, so that
he didn't have to run the gauntlet of the young white men towards the back
seats. They would bully and beat him. Because he was black.
He's
experienced racism throughout his career, as a player and a coach.
The
57-year-old talks about the "overt" abuse he's suffered from the
stands, and from others in football, but he has much greater concerns about the
hidden racism, that he feels points to a much deeper problem.
And for this, you can't separate
football from wider society.
He
told Sky
Sports News: "I remember when my wife went into labour
unexpectedly, I rushed to the hospital in some scruffy clothes. The
receptionist kept me waiting.
"I
kept saying 'excuse me', but she kept on doing other things. Eventually, I said
I was here to see my wife who was about to give birth, and she said: 'Oh! I'm
sorry. I thought you were a taxi driver.'
"I
don't think she had any idea about her prejudice."
Terry
Connor's coaching career has largely run in parallel with Mick McCarthy's -
whenever the Irishman got a job, he wanted Connor alongside him.
He's
currently McCarthy's assistant for the Republic of Ireland national team until
both their contracts expire next month.
It's
a role he's performed at Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Wolves and
Ipswich. But only under McCarthy, who he calls "inspirational", has
he been given the title of "assistant".
He
is sure that his skin colour meant he has been undervalued at times in the
past, and not given a proper title.
When he was Reserve Team manager
for Wolves from 1999, he says it was so rare to see a black man in a position
of authority, he often wasn't recognised.
"We
used to go to away games and have a pre-match meal," he recalls, "the
players would eat separately from the staff.
"As
the hotel would want us to sign for the meal, of the six around the table I was
the only black guy.
"And
the hotel staff would present the bill to the goalkeeping coach, or the physio,
or the kit man. And they'd present the cheque to everyone, bar me.
"All
the staff would say, 'I'm not authorised to sign for that' and it would go
around the table, until finally it got to me.
"It
would be wrong to call it a standing joke, but it happened on so many
occasions. It was clear they thought 'he must be the boss - it can't be
him!'"

How to Make Momos: South Asian Steamed Dumplings Filled with Chicken and Shrimp
We first fell in love with momos while travelling through Nepal. Momos are steamed dumplings traditionally from the Nepal and Tibetan regions. They’re warm, light, extremely flavourful and very filling (especially when you eat a ton of them, which you inevitably will). Here, we wanted to bring out the punchy Asian flavours that work on all the taste receptors: salty tamari, sweet sesame oil and honey, spicy ginger and sour rice wine vinegar. By combining shrimp and chicken as the filling, you achieve a lighter texture with a stronger depth of flavour.
Bunching up the momos into little packages is also half the fun. You can make your own dough, but for this recipe, we opted for pre-made wrappers from the grocery store. We find wrapping the dumplings to be a fun social experience if done with friends and family, or it can be quite meditative if you’re cooking alone. Achieving the perfect fold may take a few tries, but you’ll get there. For an easier alternative, make the classic crescent moon shape by folding the wrapper in half. Here, we went a little fancy and created a round version secured together with cinched pleats. Go ahead and try out these petite parcels of perfection for yourself!
Shrimp & Chicken Ginger Tamari Momo Dumplings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Wrap Time: 1 hour
Steam Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 45 momos
Ingredients:
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled
½ small red onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled
¼ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
½ cup shiitake mushrooms (about 6 mushrooms)
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (cooked or uncooked)
1/2 lb ground chicken
1 egg
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp tamari
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp honey
45 momo/dumpling wrappers
Directions:
1. Turn on your food processor, and as it’s running, toss in the ginger, red onion and garlic through the feeding tube.
2. Once these aromatic ingredients have had a few spins, add in the cilantro and mushrooms. Pulse until well chopped, then add in the shrimp until it’s minced into pieces.
3. Take out the mixture and place it in a large bowl. Add in the ground chicken.
4. Whisk the egg on one side of the bowl, or whisk separately and pour into the food processor.
5. Then pour in the sesame oil, tamari, rice wine vinegar and honey. Now begin combining everything so the entire mixture is well seasoned.
6. Take out the momo wrappers and cover with a damp cloth to keep from drying out.
7. Hold one wrapper in the palm of your hand. Have a bowl of water nearby, and wet the perimeter of the wrapper with your finger.
8. Place one tablespoon of filling into its centre. Slowly pinch the dough together, moving around in a circular motion, until the wrapper is securely closed into a parcel shape. Dip your fingers back in the water and pinch the top together.
9. Repeat the above steps for each momo. The first few dumplings may look messy, but practice makes perfect! *If you prefer to prep ahead, freeze the momos at this step, prior to steaming.
10. To steam, you’ll require a steamer basket, steamer pot or bamboo steamer. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Brush the steamer with oil, or if you’re using a bamboo steamer, line it with parchment paper or cabbage leaves, and brush with oil.
11. Place the momos inside the steamer. Don’t overcrowd them or they’ll stick together. Place the steamer onto the pot of boiling water. Cover with a lid and steam for 15 minutes.
12. Take out the dumplings and repeat until all the momos are steamed. Enjoy with tamari or your favourite hot sauce.

How to make money in real estate: 6 essential tips
Knowing how to make money in the real estate market requires
patience and planning. This is because this scenario varies according to
the law of supply and demand, in addition to depending on the consumption
relationships themselves.
Thus,
the objectives of buyers or families looking for residences to rent end
up influencing the high-rise properties to invest, based on the size of the
house or apartment, the most sought-after neighborhoods and, also, the regions
on the market.
Check
out our article, learn how to check these issues and learn how to make money in
the real estate market. Come on!
1. Try to understand the
market
The
essential tip for those who want to invest in the real estate market is to know
this universe, precisely to assist in making the best decisions: a good
investor, for example, knows that buying real estate in times of crisis can
bring great profits, considering the natural decrease in prices of apartments
and houses.
For
this reason, it is important to try to understand the market, observe the developing
regions in your city , research about the average prices requested in the
most different neighborhoods and seek information about new developments, such
as major shopping malls and reforms in important highways or roads.
Keep
an eye on these issues, talk with understands and don't be ashamed to get your questions
answered. Be proactive and know that this first tip can make all the
difference in the real estate investment business.
2. Form an
investment group
A
good suggestion is to bring together people who understand different subjects
to form a multidisciplinary investment group. Talk to that lawyer-in-law,
your husband's friend who is trained in accounting, use your architecture
knowledge and complete the team with your cousin who works in the financial
investment sector.
It
is not necessary to have experience in the area, but to rely on goodwill and
act with a common objective, that is, to seek to produce positive results in
the real estate investment sector. There is a popular saying that two
heads are better than one and, in this case, the more members make up this
group, the greater the chances of good real estate deals being made.
3. Invest in land
Land
investment is one of the best possibilities in this sector, as they are great
generators of wealth. This means that, if you choose the right region, a
small investment of R $ 10,000 can generate millions in your account in the
future. That's right!
As
the real estate market in Brazil experienced an important recovery this year,
large construction companies started to sell more projects in the plant. Thus,
buying land in neighborhoods with potential for growth or close to
large shopping centers can generate a good profit in a subsequent resale,
mainly for construction companies that wish to invest in large lots.
4.
Assess investment in real estate at the plant
The
investment in real estate in the plant is constituted by a certain
risk, precisely because there is a possibility that the enterprise will not
become so attractive in the eyes of the consumer. Therefore, buying a
property in the plant for a future resale or, even, for its lease, needs to be
a thoughtful attitude.
In
the same way that the investor must pay attention to the development of the
neighborhoods of his city as a way to choose the best enterprise to invest, it
is necessary to evaluate all the details of the new condominiums, houses or
apartments.
If
the intention is to put the property for rent when ready, it is worth analyzing
the infrastructure of the region - if there are shopping centers, pharmacies
and markets in the vicinity. In the case of condominium developments ,
also evaluate the benefits of this location for the consumer. If your
purpose is to make a future sale, wait for the delivery of the keys. During
this period, the search for developments increases and, with it, the price of
real estate.
5. Know the importance of investing in used houses and
apartments
There
is a television program in which two brothers - an architect and an engineer -
are looking for used properties in less than good condition in order to buy and
renovate them. In the end, the duo resells the renovated houses and puts
the values on paper: the profit is certain, even after the expenses with the
renovation are accounted for.
This
same tactic can be used by real estate investors. However, it requires
technical knowledge of the construction industry and, if you need to hire a
professional, the costs can be even higher.
It
is worth a try: look for older properties and in less-than-adequate conditions
precisely because their price will be lower, plan a good renovation, and then
resell or lease. Either way, the chances of getting a positive return are
high!
6. Build real
estate to make money
Finally,
the construction of houses, kitnets, commercial establishments or even small
apartments appears as an idea that requires more investment, but that, on
the other hand, makes great profits possible. The purpose of this
construction can be resale or lease, to guarantee a monthly income.
If
your intention is to guarantee a good flow of money per month, either for
retirement or for the payment of other debts, the tip is to put the built
property for rent. If your goal is to guarantee a high amount and at a
single time, the sale of the project appears as the most correct decision.
Therefore,
investors with good savings end up choosing to build real estate. If you
have that option, go ahead and don't regret it!
Knowing
how to make money in the real estate market is not a simple task, but neither
is it an impossible task. If you are interested in this sector, seek to
understand about the market, form an investment group and understand the
benefits of each type - namely, the purchase of land, old properties and
developments in the plant and also the construction of houses or apartments. Evaluate
the best time to invest and reap only positive fruits!
