I occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and when I do I watch TV for an hour or two, sometimes three. I’m a sucker for infomercials. That is how I found P90X. I was sceptical at first but I am a believer now. I was going to a local gym, Neo-limits, on a regular basis but I needed a push. Wow, if you want to get in great shape you may want to try this program.  I must warn you it is tough. I have been on it for 5 weeks now. I have lost 7 pounds and I am feeling good. It mixes strength training, aerobics, yoga, karate, core training and some other things on a day to day basis so you really cover a lot of ground. My lower back feels better than it has in years and I feel more fit. The program lasts for 90 days so I look forward to the next 2 months or so. Some people do it over and over again. It also comes with a diet program to follow and you can go online and communicate with thousands of other people with questions. I like it and recommend it and I am not a young kid. Let me know if you are doing P90X or if you have questions.

First impressions are so important when you put your home on the market for sale. With so many houses on the market I advise all my clients to make the most out of each and every showing. I recommend the following four basic guidelines to follow.

1)   Make the house shine. Everything must be spotless including the floors, walls, drapes and windows.

2)   Eliminate odors. Bad odors can kill a showing faster than anything else. Burn candles, bring in flowers and display any kind of fragrant materials.

3)   Remove clutter. My general rule is remove clutter until it hurts and than remove some more. Remove knickknacks, excess furniture and only keep out the essential furnishings and focus the attention on the best features of the room.

4)   It is OK to use color.  Fresh paint makes a huge difference.  Have fresh flowers especially in the warm weather months. Upgrade the landscaping to improve the curb appeal.

By following these steeps sellers can do a lot to maximize their market opportunities and increase the perceived value in the minds of perspective buyers.
