7 Simple Ways to “Go Green” at Home

April 26, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

7 Simple Ways to “Go Green” at Home

“Go Green” in your Charlotte, NC home with these 7 tips.

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

“Go Green” at home! Making subtle changes to your daily lifestyle at home can make a positive impact on the environment. You don’t have to purchase a hybrid car or start raising your own livestock to create a more environmentally-friendly home. Below are some ideas you might find helpful when deciding to “Go Green” in your Charlotte home.

 

7. Update the insulation in the house

Older homes (built before 1980) may not be constructed well for energy efficiency. According to energy.gov, adding insulation to a home will likely pay for itself within a few years due to the amount of energy it will save for Charlotte, NC homeowners like you. If completely updating the insulation throughout your home is not currently in your budget, you can always purchase thicker curtains, or even sun-blocking/thermal curtains to keep the house cooler during the summer.

6. Throw out pesticides

Most pesticide sprays come in aerosol cans which are bad for the environment– more importantly, the chemicals that exist within those cans aren’t good for you and your family. Prevent pests first by sealing up any exposed holes in the wall or cracks in the foundation. Be very careful not to leave behind any crumbs or sugary and sticky messes. In the event that you do find bugs inside of your home, try using one of these homemade organic pesticides.

5. Clean off dust bunnies from refrigerator coils

All of the dust that collects behind your refrigerator will cause it to have to work harder to keep cool. Every 6 months or so, scoot it out and clean off the dust that has accumulated to make sure your fridge isn’t using up more energy than necessary in your home.

4. Unplug small appliances

Appliances still use energy when they’re not turned on or not being used, just because they are plugged into the wall. You can save energy and even cut back on your power bill just by unplugging appliances like your toaster or coffee maker. Also, try unplugging lamps that don’t get used very often in guest bedrooms or formal living rooms.

3. Brew smarter

Coffee drinker? Make sure your coffee was sustainably grown by drinking USDA Certified Organic coffee. If you prefer to drink coffee on the go, many Charlotte, NC coffee shops will offer discounts for customers who bring their own mug or thermos. Save money and save paper or plastic!

2. Ditch the dryer sheets

Did you know the chemicals in your dryer sheets are bad for your health? There are many home made alternatives to using Tide or Gain dryer sheets that may also save you money! Try this safe alternative instead.

Cost-Effective Curb Appeal Projects

April 19, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

Cost-effective curb appeal projects for your home

Cost-effective curb appeal projects that won’t break the bank

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

Fix up the exterior of your newly purchased home without emptying your wallet, or get your home in shape to sell without having to hire anyone to do the work for you. Sometimes all it takes is cleaning things up a bit, adding a few accents, or hiding unsightly items in your front yard. Below are some DIY ideas on how to make the most out of your home with just a few cost-effective curb appeal projects.

1. Update your garage door

Even if the exterior of your home is well-maintained or new, a dirty or drab garage door could take away from your home’s curb appeal. This cost-effective curb appeal project will help you transform your home, just by adding some paint or a few pieces of hardware.

  • Option One: Add some gel stain to make your garage door look like it’s made out of beautiful wood. You can even re-stain your front door to match. Learn how here.Cost-effective curb appeal projects

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Option Two: Add brackets to your garage door to add some character. This can be done for as little as $10! Click here for a tutorial.

2. Dress up your foundation

If the foundation of your home is less-than-appealing, it’s an easy fix! Simply add some stone to the foundation to add some curb appeal, plant some shrubs, or add stucco. All 3 can be done for a low price. You can find more foundation-improvement ideas for added curb appeal here.

3. Update your mailbox

Your mailbox is the first thing people see from the road. Ditch the tiny black mailbox on a stick and add some stone and elegant numbers to the front instead. This can be accomplished in about a day, and is less expensive than buying a brand new mailbox! To add some extra pizzazz, plant some flowers at the base.

Your front door ties together the aesthetic for your entire home, it’s important to make sure that it contributes to the curb appeal for your home.

Weekend Home Makeover Tips – DIY

April 11, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

How to Give Your Home A Weekend Makeover

Give Your Charlotte Home a Facelift This Weekend!

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

Maybe your new home doesn’t need any major renovations, but it could sure use a facelift. You can devote one weekend a month to some of these cost-effective home improvement projects until your house finally feels like home! Below are some ideas to get you started or provide inspiration. Follow the links below the pictures for instructions on how to give your home a weekend makeover!

Spray Paint Old Lighting Fixtures

Don’t be so quick to throw out old fixtures. An outdated gold or brassy dining table light could be an easy and affordable fix with the right tools. Change the look of your entire dining room by spray painting the fixture and replacing the bulbs.

Paint The Front Door

Some people prefer a bold pop of color, some people prefer a dark stain. Try looking up some fun color schemes and figure out what would look best with the color of your exterior as well as shutters if your house has them.

Board and Batten

Add some classy elegance to a drab room that simply decorating doesn’t seem to liven up. This might be a more complicated project for the less-than-handy homeowner, but with a little help and elbow grease, this DIY project will completely transform any room.

Refinish Carpet Steps

Rip up the carpet and brush on some stain. Turn your drab staircase into a chic and eye-catching feature in your home. Stairs are a very heavy traffic area in any house, causing carpeted steps get dirty and turn dark quickly. By removing the carpet and adding stain to the top of each step, you will create an overall cleaner image and environment in your home.

Create Some dimension

Stencil on some high gloss paint over flat paint. You can find large stencils at most craft stores. This project is perfect for a small accent wall. The effect works best when both paints are the exact same color.

You don’t always need to knock down walls and spend thousands to give your home a makeover. Always be careful to overlook a home because it seems a little plain–sometimes all it takes is a few weekends and a little paint to make your home feel brand new.  When a buyer walks in your home they are looking for reasons to eliminate it.  Don’t give them that option!  Not sure where to start contact Danielle Edwards and she will guide you with a target list to get your home ready to sell.

6 Tips for Relocating to Charlotte

March 23, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

6 Tips for Relocating to Charlotte

Everything from navigating through the city to Queen City culture, use this article as your resource guide for relocating to Charlotte

Whether you are packing up and relocating to Charlotte right away or you are just in the early stages of house shopping, this Charlotte-area Realtor Estate agent is here for you! My name is Danielle Edwards and I am a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.  Preparing to relocate is stressful enough. I’ve done some research on relocating to the Queen City… so you don’t have to!

Know your school districts.

Oftentimes, the best neighborhoods are near the best public schools. Charlotte is a huge city, and if you plan on staying in the same home as your children grow up, be sure you’re looking at neighborhoods in school districts with a great reputation before relocating to Charlotte. Check out our list of the top rated high schools in Charlotte, and what neighborhoods surround them.

Test-drive your commute.

Loop Study StonewallCharlotte is full of interstates. If you’re heading North on I-77 on the way to work, your 15 mile commute may take an hour. If you’re heading South at the same time, your ride will be smooth and traffic-free. The same is true for the inner and outer loops of I-485, I-85, and even smaller roads such as Highway 160. If you already have a job lined up in the area, take a ride during rush hour from your prospective neighborhoods to your job site. If you will be working in uptown Charlotte, make sure you’re comfortable with the commute before your first day. The random one-way roads uptown can be tricky if you’re not used to them.

Subscribe to the Charlotte Agenda.

This online publication is great for newcomers that are relocating to Charlotte. The writers highlight popular restaurants and neighborhoods, and keep readers up-to-date on what’s in the works for the Queen City. Once you get settled in, this will be a great resource in figuring out where to explore. You are sure to fall in love with the many beautiful sights and unique breweries, parks, boutiques, and other small businesses that Charlotte has to offer! They also list multiple job openings a day, for those of you who are still on the job hunt.

Relocating to Charlotte

Are you a workout fanatic? Purchase Class Pass.

This smartphone app is $79 per month. But, if you love working out it will be worth it. Charlotte is home to a large amount of local, family owned or private gyms. Maybe you are a yogi but don’t know which studio is best for you. The app lets you choose from almost ANY gym in Charlotte, view their schedule, and reserve a class. The only fee you pay is for the app itself. This means you have access to every gym in Charlotte until you find the one that’s right for you. Some of these gyms cost over $200 a month for a membership, so $79 is a great deal.

Know your neighborhoods.

It seems like Charlotte is home to a handful of “mini-towns.” You’ll hear all kinds of names for different areas here. The truth is, there are a ton of unique neighborhoods around the city and each one has it’s own character. While one area may be home to many college students, another may be home to many young professionals or families, so it’s important to get a good idea of what you can expect from each of these communities so you’ll be an expert before relocating to Charlotte! Some of these areas include: Elizabeth, South End, Lower South End, NoDa, South Park, Steele Creek, and Dilworth. To learn more about each neighborhood, check out this helpful website.
