Buyer Series: Sewer Scope

A majority of the home in the Denver Metro area are public water. This was a new concept to me as I grew up with a well. When you are buying a home, you have the opportunity to compile due diligence on the new home during an inspection. A buyer may perform a sewer scope during the inspection period. 

A sewer scope is when a professional from a sewer company inspects the sewer line. A camera is attached to a hose which is run from the house to the main sewer line. The sewer scope will show any breaks or build up in the sewer line. Most sewer scopes cost around $100-$175. 

Are you wondering if you should perform a sewer scope during your inspection? Make sure to ask your agent of the pros and cons.

A Grey Bedroom.

This week marks 8 months since I have moved into my new home and I have finally decided to take on the task of painting my bedroom. I absolutely love grey bedrooms and have been looking for inspiration. My ceilings (like many condos downtown) are concrete and I want to be sure grey walls and a concrete ceiling does not make my room feel cold. A bedroom should feel warm and comfortable as it is the place of rest in the home. 

A number of the grey bedroom that I have looked at feel incredibly austere to me. As I gathered inspiration, I found that a lot of grey bedrooms that I gravitated toward included a natural wood element. Adding feature made out of wood to a grey room is a great way to balance out the cold feeling of grey can sometimes elicit.

The One Thing

While on vacation I read The One Thing by Gary Keller. Yes, I guess I do eat, breathe and READ real estate. I had heard it was a great business book about how to prioritize what is important to you and your career and in everyday life, I don't typically have time to read books. The book spoke about living with purpose and holdings yourself accountable. Words that everyone needs to hear but being self employed I have found that it can get hard. Purpose gets drained by deals, paperwork, new homes to show and a packed full schedule. 

How true. This statement made me stop. A little over a year ago I sold everything I owed, packed my car and left NH to CO for something different. Vowing for a different life; one with purpose, one with passion. It is interesting how adjusting to Denver my old habits have snuck in. Not that my habits were bad or unhealthy; they just were not going to create a different life than what I had in NH. I am a firm believer that success happens outside of your comfort zone and that is not where I've been living. 

Create new habits if you want something different. I've identified of number of things I need to change to expand in both my business and personal life. What do you need to change to live outside of your comfort zone?

Relaxing in a Hammock

Since I am returning back to work from a week in Kauai, I thought I would chat about where I spent most of my time last week - in a hammock! Hammocks are so absoltely relaxing. They are a great spot to lay and red a book, lounge around with a drink or take a nap.  Hammocks are frequently found on resorts on islands, but, why do I now see more around in Denver? The climate would allow for a hammock to be used almost year round.

Need an idea for all your jewelry?

If you are anything like me, you have far too much jewelry. My necklaces clutter my bathroom sink until I eventually get fed up and store them in a box, never using them. I have seen a lot of DIY projects for ideas on how to store and showcase your jewelry but this idea was one of the best I have seen yet.
