“Design can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods.”

– Genevieve Gorder

Dear Friend,

Not all remodels are created equal. You may already be familiar with Remodeling magazine’s popular Cost vs. Value report, which documents the average return on investment expected for specific improvement projects. But have you taken into account the latest design trends that will make your home more desirable and thus more valuable?

For example, many buyers are seeking homes with hardwood, composite or travertine tile flooring because they require less maintenance than carpet and give a home a beautiful and natural feel. Replacing carpeted areas with these contemporary flooring options can give your home a worthwhile face-lift.

This month’s Item of Value is dedicated to new design trends around the home. You will find innovative and affordable tips that can dramatically improve your home’s look and value, such as adding accent lighting and replacing outdated plumbing fixtures.

Specific ways you can stage your home successfully for an open house or merely to entertain friends and family are also included.

My hope is to keep you informed of the latest trends in home improvement and design.
Sincerely,

Gregg Maul

“Improve your business, your life, your relationships, your finances and your health. When you do the whole world improves.”

– Mark Victor Hansen

Dear Friend,

If you are getting ready to apply for a new loan, your credit score will play a significant role in determining whether you are approved and what your terms will be. If you don’t know what your credit score is or how the process works, I can provide some insight.

Your credit score is determined by several factors, including your payment history, number of open credit cards and even the amount of recent loan applications. There are also many ways to improve your credit score, such as routinely paying more than the minimum due on your credit cards or closing unused credit card accounts.

For this month’s Item of Value, you will find a crash course in credit scores. I’ve listed several tips to raise or maintain your credit score, as well as a worksheet to help keep your finances in order.

Making a concerted effort to improve your credit score will enable you to secure the best possible terms on a future mortgage, car loan or student loan, and I am here to help!
Sincerely,

“Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.”

– Bill Gates

Dear Friend,

Each year, consumer technology gets smarter and more advanced. These days, you can control most of your house from a single remote control. New high-tech bathroom faucets allow you to select and save your personal shower settings.

Even if you aren’t looking for the latest high-tech gadgets, today’s smart appliances will save money on energy bills and help the environment.

In this month’s Item of Value, I’ve examined the latest in smart home technology. You will find information about the whole-house remote control, energy-efficient appliances and innovative products that benefit the environment. I’ve also included a list of high-tech questions to consider when buying a new home.

Modern technology is revolutionizing the way we live in our homes, and I want to help!Sincerely,

"The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses."

– Hanna Rion

Dear Friend,

It’s often said that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. However, if your home’s curb appeal leaves you wanting more, there are simple things you can do to give your residence an instant facelift.

Did you know that landscaping and curb appeal have an effect on the value of your home? In fact, according to the Council of Tree and Landscaping Appraisers, a mature tree can be worth up to $10,000. Even if you aren’t selling your home, a gorgeously landscaped and maintained yard can be a joy to come home to all year round.

For this month’s Item of Value, I’ve come up with tips to help you beautify your landscaping. You will find ways to design in small spaces, select the best plants for your yard, sustain a healthy lawn and even give the exterior of your home and hardscape an easy upgrade.

Your landscape is the first thing friends and guests will see, and I can help you wow them!

Sincerely,

Gregg Maul

"Taxes, after all, are dues that we pay for the privileges of membership in an organized society"

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

Dear Friend,

When it comes to preparing your taxes, you can never allow yourself too much time. With so much to do, poor time management may result in an incorrect filing or perhaps overpayment or underpayment.

Organize everything that is needed for your tax preparation. You will need to gather all pertinent documents (including W-2s, 1090s and receipts), clear your schedule for several hours and secure an appointment in advance with a tax professional. If you plan on filing your taxes on your own, you’ll also want to allow time to consult with a tax adviser, if needed.

Having ample time to prepare your taxes may also allow you to discover additional deductions you never knew existed or that you qualified for. For this month’s Item of Value, I have examined a multitude of tax deductions that could benefit you this tax season. On the second page, I have also listed several ways to prevent your personal information from falling into the hands of identity thieves.

Tax season comes the same time each year, but it’s never too early to begin your preparation, and I’m here to help!
Sincerely,

Gregg Maul

Dear Friend,

As you have no doubt noticed, nearly everyone has an opinion about the state of the real estate market. The most vocal opinions are being expressed on television, on the internet, in print media, and on the radio. the problem is, many of these opinions tell only one side of the story.

For example, lower home prices and large inventories make this an ideal market for first-time homebuyers, people looking to move up to a larger home, and real estate investors. In addition, 2008 was also one of the largest transactional years in history, a fact that is often neglected in the media.

In the first Item of Value of the new year, I have looked at the state to the real estate market. On the second page, I have included tips on selling your home faster, the best ways to invest in your home, and a look at the historic home values to prove that your home is the best long term investment.

I hope you had a great 2008, and I look forward to serving you in 2009!
Sincerely,

Gregg Maul
