Transform This Area Into a Productive Workspace
When looking for Bakersfield homes for sale, you might be in need of dedicated home office space. The thing is, though, you can put a home office almost anywhere. In fact, one of the most popular places for a home office is a closet.
The Cloffice
Over the last year, many people found themselves suddenly working from home. These new circumstances took some adjustment. Some people can work from their dining room table, couch, or even from bed. But most need a designated work area, to establish a routine and maintain productivity. Enter the cloffice.
Any closet can be converted into an office, even a small linen closet. Attach a sturdy shelf at just the right height, and put your laptop on it. Then get a small chair or stool that can fit underneath it. Add a few more shelves for storage space, and you've got yourself a cubicle. And that's just the beginning.

Why You Still Have Work to Do When You Hire Movers
You've found your dream home from a selection of Bakersfield homes for sale, hired a moving company, set a moving date, and now you think you're all set for the move. Not so fast! Even if you've booked a full-service move, there are several things you need to do before the big day to help avoid accidents, damage, setbacks, delays, and misunderstandings. Here's our agents' list of tasks you need to take care of before the movers arrive.
- Clean and Organize
When preparing for movers, you want to make sure that all items that will put on the moving truck are clean, dry, and in good condition. Commit yourself to tackling one cleaning project a day. You can empty drawers, bookshelves, and cupboards; wash all linens and towels; throw out the garbage and wash trash cans; clean out your closets; fold your bedding and strip the mattress; and drain out of any fuel-powered tool. Get rid of explosive, flammable, and corrosive items that your movers won't ship like fertilizers, car batteries, chemicals, propane tanks, motor oils, pesticides, and antifreeze.

It's the perfect season, offering sunny skies and not-too-hot, not-too-cold weather. Our agents are excited to hit the trail, and we hope to see you out there at some of these scenic Bakersfield hiking spots!

Spanning 370 acres alongside the Kern River, Hart Park is one of Bakersfield's most popular spots to take a break from city life and enjoy the outdoors.
