🏡 NORTHERN NEVADA HOME-MAINTENANCE TIPS 🍂❄️

Northern Nevada weather can change quickly! A little preparation now can help prevent costly repairs when freezing temperatures arrive.

✅ Disconnect garden hoses and drain outdoor faucets
✅ Winterize sprinkler and irrigation systems
✅ Clean gutters and check that downspouts direct water away from the foundation
✅ Inspect the roof for loose or damaged shingles
✅ Replace furnace filters and schedule an HVAC checkup
✅ Seal gaps around windows and exterior doors
✅ Test smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors
✅ Trim dry vegetation and remove debris from around the home
✅ Have fireplaces and chimneys inspected before using them

Taking care of these small items now can help keep your home warm, safe, and protected all season long!

Thinking about buying or selling in Elko or Spring Creek? I’m always happy to help. 🏡

🏡 A lower price isn’t the only thing buyers can negotiate!

Depending on the home, seller, and loan program, you may be able to request a seller credit toward eligible closing costs.

That could help reduce the money you need to bring to closing—but it doesn’t replace your down payment, and lender limits apply.

Buying in Elko or Spring Creek? Let’s talk about your goals and work with your lender to see what makes sense for you. 🔑

🏡 One detail buyers shouldn’t leave until the last minute: homeowner’s insurance.

In Northern Nevada, wildfire exposure, the home’s age, roof condition and location can affect the cost and availability of coverage.

Before getting too far into escrow, buyers should:

✔️ Request an insurance quote
✔️ Confirm the property can be insured
✔️ Understand the deductible and wildfire coverage
✔️ Make sure the policy can begin by closing

A home can meet your budget while the insurance changes the total monthly cost. Checking early can help prevent an unexpected delay before closing.
