Summer is around the corner so now is the perfect time to tackle those small home maintenance tasks that often get overlooked. ☀️

Getting the easier ones out of the way now, however, will lighten the “honey do” list you’ll face later in the year

Here are a few quick projects you can complete in just 10 minutes:

Lubricate sliding doors and windows after cleaning the tracks. Squirt some lubricant on anything that slides, such as sliding glass doors, windows and doors once a year. But, first, clean out the “gunk” that’s accumulated in and around the tracks.

Test smoke alarms and replace batteries during daylight savings changes. 🕒

Inspect your garage door opener for safety issues. Pull the handle to put the system into manual mode and lifting the door one metre from the ground. It should remain open. If not call the expert

Clean your dryer ducts to prevent fire hazards.
Most home fires are preventable, so including safety maintenance chores on your list may save lives. All of these tasks take just a few minutes.

Frayed wires are fire hazards so take a few minutes to check the cords on appliances, electronics, lamps and other electric products. Don’t run extension cords under rugs, by the way.

These simple tasks can help you maintain a safe and efficient home, leaving you more time to enjoy the season!

What can you take with you when you sell your home?🏡

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Moving out of your home is such an exciting time, but it can also get a bit overwhelming, especially when you’re figuring out what you can take with you and what needs to stay behind. 🏡 Here’s a friendly guide to help you navigate this process smoothly!

Moving out of your home is such an exciting time, but it can also get a bit overwhelming, especially when you’re figuring out what you can take with you and what needs to stay behind. 🏡 Here’s a friendly guide to help you navigate this process smoothly!

What Can You Take with You?
When it’s time to pack up, it’s important to know what’s coming with you and what stays. Generally, things like your kitchen and laundry appliances, outdoor furniture, and potted plants are free to come along unless you’ve made a different arrangement in the contract. 🌿

Sometimes, you can negotiate with the buyer to leave behind larger or more cumbersome items you no longer need or want. It’s all about finding what works best for both parties!

Tips to Help the New Owners
You’ve spent time getting to know your home, and chances are, you’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. Why not share some of that knowledge? A little note with instructions for any appliances or fixtures you’re leaving behind can be super helpful. For example, leave the alarm system codes, tips on using the air conditioner, or even the names of the maintenance companies you use. 🛠️

And if the new owners are new to the area, why not throw in some local tips? Recommend your favorite coffee spots, restaurants, or nearby activities to help them feel at home faster. ☕️🍽️

What Stays with the House?
Some things are usually part of the sale and will stay with the property. This includes items like curtain rods, curtains, light fittings, fixed floor coverings, ovens, cooktops, range hoods, smoke detectors, ceiling fans, and any built-in fixtures. 🛋️

Sometimes, items like freestanding dishwashers, microwave ovens, or built-in shelves are also agreed upon to stay. Just make sure these details are clear in the contract so there are no surprises on settlement day!

By knowing what’s what before you start packing, you’ll have a smoother move and a happier handover to the new owners. Happy moving! 🚚✨
