Proactive First-time Home Buying Tips

Home buying season is kicking into high gear and will remain that way up to late in November when things begin to cool off. Between now then a lot of homes will be bought and sold in the Chicago area. Are you a first-time homebuyer? If so, then you might want to apply some of these proactive tips to help make the process go smoother for you.

Financing

It will be a smart move to have you financing in place before you start shopping. You don’t want to get into a situation where an offer is accepted but the seller has to wait for your financing to go through. They probably won’t wait. Part of that financing will involve a deposit and closing costs. Sometimes the closing costs can be included in the loan amount but that will just make all the numbers increase. As for the deposit, gone is the day of “no money down” loans. Today, most lenders are expecting you to put down at least 20% of the loan. They’ll also want to know you have up to three months savings in your bank account to make your mortgage payments.

Making an Offer

Online information about a particular house will provide you with compatible prices of homes in the neighborhood. It will also show you what the home sold for the last time it was on the market. All of this information is going to help you formulate an offer price. This something you should be doing in consultation with your realtor. You’ll want to focus on the fair market value of the house and not the list price. Some owners go way over the top with their valuations. They might get it but that doesn’t mean you have to pay it.

Think Outside of Your Dream Zone

Everyone has an idea of what their dream home should look like. This is the “must-have” list that you will go house hunting with. Unfortunately, the reality of the market and what you can afford often clash. This might mean thinking outside of your dream zone. Could you live somewhere with a longer commute to work? Could you move into a place that needed fixing up? Would you consider a foreclosed property? In other words, when it come to shopping for a home, everything should be on the table for consideration.

After finding that home, you could be packing up the moment the deal closes. The smart move here is to bring in Junk King Chicago. One session with these junk removal experts and you’ll be moving with a much lighter load. There is no reason to bring all the things you have been wanting to get rid of. Before you move into your new home, let Junk King Chicago move out all the rubbish and clutter. Start junk free!

Getting Your Kids Ready For School

Summer winding down can only mean one thing for parents: It’s back-to-school time! This is when family schedules are once again upended but for good reasons. Adjustments will have to be made and pickups and drop offs will need to be coordinated. Here are some other items to consider when you’re getting your kids ready for school.

factory-700588_1280

Embrace Their New Hobbies

The older a child gets, the more they’ll be able to explore new hobbies and activities. Most of these will be happening after school but that’s not a bad thing as long as they don’t run into homework time. Although they will be focused in the moment of doing their best playing sports, dancing, acting, singing or playing an instrument, a lot of what they’ll learning in these hobbies can have a positive impact on the rest of their lives. In other words, embrace their new hobbies.

Liven Up Their Lunch Boxes

The best way to insure your student is having a healthy lunch is to pack it for them. First, you might want to say good-bye to the juice box and hello fruit infused water. They get the same fruity “kick” but without all the added sugar. Instead of salty snacks, pack veggie sticks. Let your kid pick out their favorites. As for the sandwiches, you can mix things up there, too by switching up the bread. Try wraps, pitta, bagels or toast.

Wake Up Early

Sorry but school days means everyone gets up early. Since you’re in charge, you should add 15 minutes to your wakeup time so you can assess the day and get things in order. For breakfast, let the kids pick what the want the night before and then set out as much as you can to have it ready. On the weekends, whip up a batch of waffles and pancakes and then freeze them. One pass through the toaster and they’re ready to go.

Choose Outfits the Night Before

Along with getting as much ready for breakfast and lunch making the night before, you should also have your kids pick out what they’re going to wear the night before. If your child has a school uniform, then the night before would be the time to wash and/or iron it.

Once you get into these habits, you’ll find your mornings running a lot smoother. It will help you stay organized when there isn’t a lot of clutter in closets, dressers and everywhere else. That’s why a decluttering session with Junk King Chicago should be a priority. You designate what you want removed and the Junk King crew will whisk it away in a matter of minutes. Getting your kids ready for school will be helped when you get rid of the clutter. Give that job to Junk King Chicago today.

Best Junk Haulers In Chicago

There are a lot of places around Chicago that claim to have the “best” of something. How many pizzerias call themselves the “best deep dish?” What about all the clubs with the “best blues.” For someone to take claim for being the “best” at something it means they need to have made a lot of people happy with regard to their service. In the world of junk haulers, there is definitely one company in Chicago that has made a lot of customers happy and that would be Junk King Chicago.

When Junk King started collecting rubbish over twelve years ago, they were among the first of the professional junk haulers to create a nationwide franchise. That could only become a success if they perfected a business model that would be easy to follow in cities all across the country. The Junk King business model depends on hiring the right kind of people for this type of work. Not only do they need to be able to lift and load heavy objects but they also have to have a positive attitude to go along with the work. It helps when the workers can be licensed and insured.

That might have a big influence on what you decide to get rid of. Translation: Anything goes!

How To Handle Trampoline Removal

A backyard trampoline is one of those fun kid toys that were probably delivered as a “surprise.” What followed were endless summer days involving a lot of bouncing. Your kids might have even perfected all kinds of flips. Good times for sure. But as they grew older, there were less trampoline sessions. Before long, that trampoline sits unused like the childhood swing sets. But does that mean you have to hold onto that trampoline forever? You don’t as long as Junk King Chicago is just a phone call away.

trampoline-114587_1280

Junk King is a professional junk hauling service that specializes in oversized junk removal. That backyard trampoline would definitely fit into that category. This is the kind of item that needs to be taken apart before it can be loaded up. You might have taken hours to assemble that trampoline when it was delivered but the Junk King crew will make short work of taking it apart and loading it onto the truck.

As long as Junk King is handling your trampoline removal, why not put them to work removing the rest of your unwanted items? As long as there is room on the truck, you can have the team from Junk King load it up. Not only are these crews terrific with lifting and loading heavy objects but they’re also great with packing. That will matter when it comes to estimating your final fee. Junk King only charges a flat fee based on how the truck gets packed. The less room your stuff takes up, the less you’ll be paying. You’ll never be charged by the pound or by the hour.

That flat fee also includes the disposal. This is where Junk King is going to be a major boost to the environment. Junk King doesn’t want to make any drop offs at a landfill. Instead, your junk can end up being recycled or donated. With that old trampoline, there is probably going to be a lot of scrap metal that can be repurposed. These special drop offs are all part of Junk King’s complete junk hauling service. Trampoline removal and junk hauling is not complicated. One session with Junk King Chicago gets it done.

How To Throw An Awesome Graduation Party

After countless hours of homework, after school activities and fundraisers it is finally time to say, “Congratulations” to your graduating child. If ever there was a reason to celebrate, this is it. The best place to throw an awesome graduation party is the place where it all happened: your home. Here’s how to get it done:

graduate-1636401

Split the Family and Friends

If you come from a large family, then you’ll want to include them in the graduation party celebration. The same can be said for your kid’s friends. If he has a large squad, then they’ll all want to get in on the fun. A good idea would be to split the party. Have the family over for a late afternoon BBQ and then let the kids come over at night for dancing and hanging out. Everybody wins.

Use Rentals

Once you’ve locked down the potential guest list, you’ll know how much food and drinks to set up. You’ll also know how many chairs and tables you might need. If you can’t pull those together from what you have, then consider renting from a party rental place. Even two dozen extra chairs can make a big difference. That same rental place might also be able to provide fountains for drinks, helium tanks for balloons and other party gear you might not even be thinking of.

Cater

If the party is going to be small, then you might be able to do the cooking yourself. But will you have the time for all the shopping and actual cooking? An easier approach would be to go through your list of take-out menus. Most of those restaurants probably offer catering services in the form of trays of food cooked up and ready to serve. All you would have to do is put out the plates and forks!

Clear Out Rubbish

The best way to make room for a party is to clear out the rubbish. That rubbish could be anything that is taking up space and not being used. In the backyard, that could be old planters, grills, lawnmowers and patio furniture. If there is leftover construction material from a remodeling project, then that should go, too. How can you get rid of all that rubbish in time for the party? One call to Junk King Chicago gets it done. They’ll send over the moving crew and the truck. You point to what you want taken away and it is gone. What could be easier than that? Let Junk King Chicago help you clear out the rubbish for your graduation party.
