Labor Day is just around the corner! 📆 But before you start planning your epic end-of-summer bash, take a weekend and prep your home for the changing of the seasons 🍂.

If the summer heat ☀️ has you dazed and confused when it comes to all things home maintenance, here are 5 tasks perfect for tackling this time of year:

+ Deep clean rugs and carpets. The warm weather will help them dry quicker.

+ Clean and organize your home’s “drop zone.” Back-to-school is just days away! 

+ Clean and store summer gear like sports equipment and camping supplies.

+ Clean vehicle interiors. All that travel took a number on your car. Now’s the time to get ready for the school year runaround. 

+ Organize closets, and if you have little ones, have them try on. I’m guessing not much will fit!

Americans’ opinion on the value of real estate as an investment is climbing. That’s according to an annual survey from Gallup. Not only is real estate viewed as the best investment for the ninth year in a row, but more Americans have selected it than ever before. The graph below shows the survey...
