The origins of Flag Day date back to June 14, 1885, when a schoolteacher in Wisconsin had his class honor “Flag Birthday” to mark the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777. On May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson made a presidential proclamation, which officially established Flag Day and in 1949, President Harry Truman signed an act of Congress designating June 14 as Flag Day

One of the biggest instant turn-offs for buyers can be smells throughout a home that's up for sale. Most of us get used to the everyday pet and mess odors around our home, but make sure you put in the extra effort to get your home cleaned thoroughly and those pet areas tidied up. It can and will make a difference when it comes time to selling your home.

Looking to buy a home and have kids? Some things you should research online to make sure your dream home is the "right" home:

1. Are there s*x offenders nearby?
2. What are the school ratings?
3. Does the backyard have too much of a slope for playgrounds, trampolines, or pools?
4. Is there too much traffic nearby?
5. What are local crime statistics?

Here are the top 10 things to think about when it comes time to buying your dream house:

1. Always get pre-approved before you start house hunting.
2. Shop mortgage lenders so you get the best interest rate.
3. Don't buy more house than you can afford.
4. Don't forget the additional fees that come with buying a home. Down-payments, closing costs, inspections, appraisals, etc.
5. Make sure you calculate regular expenses of home ownership when figuring out your budget. Both monthly and annual expenses.
6. No matter how much you love the house, or how new it is, always get it inspected to avoid future headaches.
7. Make sure you check the zoning laws. Find out what is and isn't permitted around your home/neighborhood preference so you aren't caught off guard by unattractive builds.
8. I'll help you with this part, but it's important to get everything in the transaction process/negotiations in writing. Never take anyone's word during the sale of a home, even if you're friends with the other party!
9. If you have too many contingencies as a buyer, you may lose out on your dream house. So make sure your finances are set and you're ready to move when you start your house hunt.
10. Having a great real estate agent by your side will help you make sure you don't overpay for a property. But keep in mind, if you submit offers that are too low, you may lose out in a hot market to a more interested buyer.

Add some flare to your guest bathroom, it's the jewel box of decorating your home! Don't worry about trying to make it look bigger, focus on the final touches. Add some color, some flowers, and some artwork to bring it to life. During showings, make sure it's nice and tidy with the toilet seat down! Avoid any air fresheners that are too strong, quite a few buyers are sensitive to strong odors - even if they smell good.
