Make sure your home sparkles inside and out.
The final stage of getting ready for your new homes in Richmond would be to make sure your home sparkles inside and out. A few areas easy to miss, but would ensure your that home sparkles include cleaning items that are not regularly maintained such as baseboard trim, chandelier lights and light domes. If the prospect of a deep clean has the palm of your hands in a cold, clammy sweat then you might consider hiring a cleaning service for a one time deep cleaning. A few hundred dollars of deep cleaning will be well spent.
Ensuring your home is sparkling on the outside is just as important. Take some time to observe your own home with a critical eye or ask a neighbor for suggestions. Other simple improvements what will pay off in rewards will be in pressure washing the home, planting some colored annuals, or maybe even painting the mail box. These simple steps will bring the curb appeal of your home to life, which is what you truly want right before the first showing. (more…)

Richmond New Homes for Every Family's Needs
The next phase in getting ready for your Richmond new homes is to de-clutter. There are three main actions to de-cluttering. These actions are organize, store or dispose. We will start with dispose as it is the easiest to discuss. Though we don’t anticipate you will ever be featured on the show Hoarders, the concept to begin with is: if you have not used the item in question in the last year, then get rid of it. Items in this category range from the sweater Aunt Sally gave as a gift last year to the collection of teaspoons left in the box from the last move. Sifting through each item with care and thoughtful analysis will reveal if the item should stay or go.
The items that are too personal to discard should go into storage. You should store these items in a location outside of your home as removing items will help. Removing unneeded items to a self-storage unit or to a portable storage unit will help the home feel open and accommodating to the prospective buyer who can now visualize their items in that same space. Removing items to storage will also allow more space to organize. Potential buyers are going to look in every nook possible of the home to ensure they are not missing any detail. Organizing closets, cabinets and especially the kitchen will ensure the potential buyer gives your home the thumbs up it needs so you can move into your new Boone home.

Tips to help you sell your current home and purchase new homes in Richmond.
The second step in getting ready for your new homes in Richmond is to take steps to depersonalize your used home. As harsh as that sounds, what we really mean is it is time to neutralize the home. There are several areas that you may consider neutralizing. The first area that will make a dramatic statement will be your wall coverings. Keep in mind that you are not losing your soul by changing wall colors. The paint that spelled home to you may only scream “work” to the potential buyer looking at your home. Statistics have shown that if a home is neutralized it appeals to a wider range of possible buyers, and this home is now meant for someone else, as we talked about in part one.
Neutralizing your homes as you get ready for your Richmond custom homes also entails packing. Many collectables adorn the walls of our homes. The special feeling and memory they evoke to our psyche may deliver a personal message to our happiness, while the same collectable may hinder your ability to sell your used home. That Bavarian Stein collection will feel good on the wall of your new home. So, go ahead and pack the steins up and keep them safe as you prepare for your new Boone Home. Depersonalizing the home will not only help you attract more buyers, you may even get a head start on packing. (more…)

Create memories in your Richmond new homes.
Those ready to sell their current houses so that they can buy Richmond new homes should know that the best time to sell a used home is in the spring after the winter’s hibernation. Home sales in general tend to be more active in the spring, and people are more likely to be optimistic about buying. As you consider your move into a new home, you should consider what will be necessary to prepare your used home for someone else’s enjoyment.
The preparation to leave your home could be difficult, as you have lived in a place filled with memories of events which will soon be in the care of another person. A chapter in life will be left behind, only to open a new chapter with more life to experience. For a successful transition, you need to first and foremost believe the next chapter in your life will be filled with just as many experiences and wonderful memories as the last. As you anticipate the beginning of a new set of experiences, you may need to disassociate yourself with your home and let go of the past. Not because you want to forget life’s best memories, but because you are anticipating new ones. (more…)

As winter causes us to retreat inside our Richmond new homes, the chance of us getting sick increases exponentially. Colds, flu or even worse can cause days of discomfort at the very least.

Snow shoveling included for no maintenance Richmond new homes.
For those living in Richmond new homes in Central Virginia, winter has been tremendous so far. Temperatures have hovered in the 50s and 60s most of the winter making Central Virginia seem more like a winter escape destination. In all this wonderful weather, it is necessary to point out there is always a chance for snow, like what happened just a few days ago. During this flurry of bad weather, the Richmond area enjoyed 4 to 6 inches of fresh and fluffy snow. The snow made every Boone Homes neighborhood appear as if each home had just been painted in a Thomas Kinkade city of lights. Though beautiful, snow still has a side effect.
Side Effect of Snow: Shoveling
This side effect can be strenuous on the back, unless you live in one of our no maintenance communities. When you live in a Boone Homes’ no maintenance neighborhood, the shoveling is done for you saving you strain, heat wraps and pain killers. Avoiding this side effect of pain and strain is possible when you own a Boone Homes no maintenance home. All of our Richmond custom homes are built in a luxurious community and are designed to alleviate strain by doing all the exterior seasonal maintenance for you. Who wouldn’t love more time to experience life without the pain meds? You will love the new lifestyle as you will have more time to experience life. (more…)

Give the Gift of a Boone Homes this Valentine's Day
Flowers make such a temporary gift. Even with the best “arrive alive” system, flowers only last a few days or at the longest a week. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but diamonds certainly do not give a girl a place to create memories. Dinner makes for a great moment, though soon forgotten. The gift that keeps on giving is one of our new high-performance Richmond new homes.
What are the benefits of gifting a new Boone Home this Valentines? One reason is each space is planned to build memories. For example: your kids have plenty of space in the family room to play while the family’s head chef mixes a soufflé and enjoys a delicate chardonnay. After the little ones have been sent to bed, a romantic comedy can grace the screen while the cares of the day almost dance away with the flames of the fireplace. As evening turns into night you can retreat to the owner’s suite. Bubbles wash away any remaining stress in the soaking tub setting up the finale in the owner’s suite retreat with a snuggly blanket and a great read. (more…)
