If you are thinking of selling your home, from time to time you may catch yourself making mental notes of areas that need repair, carpets that need cleaning and clutter that needs to be sorted and donated/thrown out. Many home owners may not realize the extent of work that needs to be done on their home before it is ready to be put on the market and shown to potential buyers. If you are wondering where to start in the home staging process, and want to do it without breaking the bank, then today’s blog post is for you. There are a few golden rules for you to keep in mind as you prepare and stage your home for potential buyers, and we have listed them below for you to check out. Let’s jump right in!
Can you believe it is the last weekend of 2018?! We can’t either! What better way to end one year and ring in a new one than to enjoy fun events making beautiful memories with family and friends. And lucky for you, this weekend is bringing festivities such as a gingerbread festival, a holiday lights festival, art exhibits, a walking food tour, a basketball and hockey game, and much more! We hope you are enjoying this time of year with loved ones and wish you a wonderful 2019! See you in the New Year!
With all the beautiful places in this country to live, you may be asking yourself why so many people settle on Omaha as their place to call home. And while we may be a little biased, we tend to think that our city has so much to offer from great food, incredible entertainment, endless things to do and safe, friendly neighborhoods – just to name a few. If Omaha has been on your list of potential places to move to but you have been going back and forth on if it will be the right fit for you and your family, today’s post is for you! We will be diving into a few reasons why you should call Omaha home and some of the many reasons why residents are glad they settled here.
Can you believe this is the last weekend before Christmas!? We sure can’t. And while many people will be scurrying around town to purchase those pesky last minute gifts, we want to remind everyone that there are many fun and festive activities happening around Omaha this weekend. Take advantage of these events while they are still going on, and enjoy the spirit of the holidays with friends and loved ones!
It’s that time of year when people trade their light, fall jackets for an insulted, warm coat, and their fashion forward strappy sandals for knee high boots. It also means that when outside temperatures drop, homeowners can expect their monthly electric bill to rise. It happens each year, yet many people are still shocked when they see that first heating bill come their way. So instead of breaking out the extra blankets and sleeping with seven layers on, we have a few tips and tricks below that will help to keep your home warm and comfortable, without breaking your wallet with extreme heating bills every month!
Because we are almost halfway through December (crazy, we know!), there is no better time than to head out of the house and enjoy all the fun and festivities happening in and around Omaha this weekend! Whether you are looking to meet Santa Clause himself, take in a gingerbread festival or just adore the twinkling lights of the Christmas trees, there is truly something for everyone. We have listed a few must-see events below, and wish you all the joy and happiness this time of year brings!
While Omaha has a longstanding reputation for having some of the country’s best and tastiest steaks, many people don’t realize that our beautiful state has so much more to offer its residents! Omaha has a population of just under one million, which allows the city to retain a small community feel, while also boasting many features of a big city that people love. With a growing economy, top rated restaurants, affordable living and endless entertainment options, we tend to agree with the notion that Omaha is one of the best places in the Midwest to live and work – and we are confident that you too will agree after reading this blog post!
If you have been following our weekly blogs then you know we let you in on all the fun events, festivals and activities that happen around Omaha each weekend. Our hope is for you to spend some quality time out of the house with family and friends exploring all that our beautiful city has to offer, and make some fun and lasting memories in the process! With Christmas just a few weeks away (we can’t believe it either!), we are sure many people will find themselves trying to find gifts so they can start checking off their list, preparing their home for out of town visitors and putting together a holiday food menu – all while trying to enjoy the holiday spirit and remember what this season is all about. Putting all the hustle and bustle aside, we wanted to dedicate this blog post to some special holiday events that are taking place around Omaha in the coming days and weeks. These events are the perfect excuse to put your to-do-list away and spend some quality time with family enjoying this joyous time of year.
With so many events and festivities happening in and around Omaha this weekend, there simply won’t be time to hit them all! But we have listed a few of them below for you to check out and hopefully will make you set aside some time to spend some time enjoying this special time of year with family and friends. There are many holiday festivals, musical events and plays that are sure to please everyone in your group, young and old alike!
