Clever Storage Solutions Buyers Will Appreciate
Extra storage is always a plus. No matter how big or small your home is, there's always a need for more places to stash stuff. If you're looking to add your home to the list of Bakersfield homes for sale, you should know that storage can attract or put off buyers, depending on what you have. It's therefore critical to highlight your home's storage features or come with some creative solutions if you're lacking storage space. Our agents share these clever storage solutions that will make your home more appealing to buyers.
- Make Use of Unused Space
Those nooks and crannies, irregular walls, and unused corners are possible options for creating more storage space. For instance, you can transform an empty corner of the room or space under a bay window into useful built-in storage that will get buyers' attention. Add a bench under a window to create a cozy seating area and get plenty of room for stashing your books and other items. In the kitchen, you can add plinth drawers underneath cabinets for additional storage.

Home Sellers: Make Decluttering Your New Year's Resolution
While we often associate home cleaning and organization with the spring, winter is the perfect season for decluttering. Between the early sunsets and cold temperatures, we spend more time indoors, but keeping winter-related necessities accessible but clutter-free can be difficult. Now that the holidays are behind us, get a start on home organization, and give yourself more space to enjoy your home and the people around you. Here are our agents' winter decluttering tips.
- Winter Accessories
No winter decluttering spree would be complete without sorting your cold-weather gear. To get started, put your accessories into categories. Think scarves, coats, jackets, hats, and gloves. Take note of the items you wear consistently and those you don't anticipate using. Practice discernment and get rid of any extra items that haven't been used. The same goes for summer clothes and linens. To ensure your winter accessories aren't disorganized, get large woven baskets, storage ottomans, and bins for scarves, hats, and gloves. For coats and jackets, add a line of coat hooks in your entryway or get a coat rack.

Don't Let These 5 Things Hold Up Your House Closing
Although closing on a house may seem pretty straightforward, many things can happen that hold up this process. If you're looking at Bakersfield homes for sale, you want to be sure you understand the ins and outs of house closings. Our agents are ready to answer your questions and can ensure this process goes smoothly during the purchase of your home in the Bakersfield area.
Here are five things that can hold up your house closing.
- Approval of a loan
Most buyers depend on getting a loan to buy a house. Failure to secure this loan by the closing date can delay the closing. The reasons why a loan can be delayed are varied, including spikes in interest rates, which affect qualification for the loan if it is not locked in, or suddenly the buyer's credit score or income changes, so the underwriter rejects the loan. Often, the seller must agree to an extension to keep the contract from expiring or being canceled. To avoid these situations, get a preapproved mortgage loan before submitting an offer; you can also try to be pre-underwritten for a loan.
