Regular filter replacement is the very best thing you can do to keep your furnace in top condition. And here’s a way to keep track of that task: Buy several filters and label them. With some systems, monthly filter changes are best. Others can go a few months between changes.

It’s a great time to sell your home!

Existing-home sales increased for the fourth consecutive month in September, as the U.S. housing market benefitted from low interest rates.

Total existing-home sales rose 9.4% from August to a seasonally-adjusted, annual rate of 6.54 million, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday. Compared with a year ago, home sales were up nearly 21%.

As the pandemic continues, the risk of a prolonged economic downturn could cause some buyers to rethink making a big purchase, especially given rising home prices.

A real estate agent worth their salt wears a lot of hats. Marketer. Negotiator. Analyst. Copywriter. Stager. Counselor. They shift through these jobs seamlessly to rise to every occasion from start to finish.

Isolate each role, and you could think about removing them from the equation. Price your home? Ah, well, you can run your own comps to do that.

Prep your home? You’ve cleaned and decluttered before.

Find a buyer? Well, that’s what the internet is for.

Yet at the end of the day, the whole of an agent’s contributions are greater than the sum of the parts — and they all come together to give you a big advantage: selling at a higher price.

63% of FSBO (for sale by owner) sales happen because the seller doesn’t want to pay a commission. Fair enough.

But what if the odds were you’d make more money with an agent anyway? Then you’d go through all that trouble only to leave money on the table (more than the cost of the average 5.8% commission).
