1. Dance while you dust: This is the perfect time to fully indulge your musical interests; break out the iPod or turn up the CD player, and you’ll be singing along to your favorite tunes and won’t find cleaning to be a chore at all!
2. Clear out the clutter: Take the opportunity to dig into the closets, storage spaces, and of course, the garage. You’ve probably got a veritable treasure trove of old clutter that’s just taking up space-now’s the time for a yard sale! Turn that clutter into cash.
3. Room by room: Try to focus on just one room at a time, and try to complete one room each day. This will make the whole job seem more manageable, and you’ll probably get things cleaned more thoroughly than if you tried to tackle the whole house at once!
4. Just a little more laundry: One of the things that we rarely attend to is the state of our draperies, shower curtains, and rugs. Now is your chance: gather up every spare bit of linen in the house and have it laundered; you’ll be surprised at how much brighter your home will look!
5. A room with a view: It’s time to tackle those windows! Set aside a special day to give your windows a good scrubbing. Clean off any screens while you’re at it: your home will literally sparkle once you’re finished.

Disaster Relief
What Homeowners Affected by the Fires in Central Texas Can Do Now Fires in Central Texas have devastated many families in the last few days. Many consumers may be searching for the necessary steps to either find a new home or continue selling their home. Officials reported that more than 1,000 homes and 100,000 acres have been destroyed in at least 57 wildfires across Texas. Below guidance is offered for homeowners, home buyers and home sellers in the Greater Austin-area and Bastrop County.
What can consumers do now if they were affected by the fires?
• Contact your Loan Officer: If you are under contract on a home, you need to check with your loan officer to determine whether or not additional final inspections are required. If so, that may cost up to $200 for the final inspection and take a few extra days to finalize the loan.
• Check with your insurance provider: Additionally, I would recommend that homeowners contact their insurance providers to see if the insurance company is ready to insure the home.
• Work with a REALTOR®: If consumers aren’t already working with a REALTOR®, I would strongly recommend that they contact one as soon as possible. They can serve as a guide as you are going through such a difficult time. REALTORS® can inform home sellers and homebuyers of the necessary steps to be taken to move forward, recommend any changes to the closing and still keep you within your contracts’ boundaries.
Whether you were in the process of buying, selling or owning a home, contacting the following organizations will direct you to assistance and guidance through this difficult time. Read below for a list of disaster assistance contact information:
• American Red Cross of Central Texas: Homeowners who have been affected by the fires may not be in a position to contact all of their loved ones, as family and friends’ contact information may have been lost. If you are unable to reach all of your loved ones, consider registering you and your family as “safe and well” on the American Red Cross webpage. If you are currently unable to reach loved ones, you can also use this website to search for missing family and friends.
Consumers who would like to get involved can also use the American Red Cross of Central Texas website to make donations and learn about volunteer opportunities.
• Austin Disaster Relief Network: Consumers can also utilize the Austin Disaster Relief Network to make donations including diapers, baby food, adult food that is non-perishable, trash cans, trash bags, undergarments, kennels for dogs, socks and water. A list of drop off locations is provided on their website.
Drop-off Locations:
o Fellowship SW Church in Buda (3870 FM 967, Buda) Monday, 9:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. and Tuesday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
o Austin Christian Fellowship (6401 Riverplace Drive, Austin) Monday-Friday, 10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.

• Contact HomeAway for Vacation Rentals Offered by Owners: Many vacation rental owners have offered their properties specifically to local residents who have been displaced by the fires in Central Texas for free or at discounted rates.
