The cooler days and fewer hours of sunlight have already made the trees turn and drop their leaves. And if your Naperville home has trees in the yard, you’ve probably been spending a great deal of time raking and filling up bags with leaves – repeatedly (unless you have a landscaping crew who does all of that tedious work for you, instead).

Whether you’re buying or selling a home in Chicago or its suburbs for the first time, this exciting experience is life changing and can be complicated. Given that this is a major purchase / sale, Realtors® at Ryan Hill Realty advise you on how to avoid a few pitfalls.

How ready are you to refinance your mortgage? The interest rates might be low, but you shouldn’t even attempt refinancing your Chicagoland home unless your finances are in order. Acting too rashly can prevent you from your financial goals, hurt your credit score, and pile on your debt. But if you really are serious about refinancing your Chicagoland home, follow these 5 steps first to make it worth your while:

Do you or your neighbor have a fence or hedge to establish boundaries between your two properties? If not, are either of you thinking about adding one outside of your Chicagoland home? As a general rule, marking the boundaries of your property is helpful to do – how else will you know EXACTLY how far you must mow your lawn, or obtain a quote for the amount of fencing you need around the perimeter to keep your furry friends safely enclosed?

With just a few changes in your daily routine, you won’t have to struggle with endless hours lost on decluttering. This will prove invaluable when entertaining guests, or when trying to sell your Chicagoland home – because you will always be at the ready.

 

No matter how long you plan on living in your current Naperville home, it’s always a good idea to remain mindful of what you might want to change about the house when you finally decide it’s time to sell. After all, you want a good return for your investment, right?
