How to improve chances of selling a home?
Q. We've got a sign in the yards, and now an ad in the paper. We've had a few calls, but no one has come to look at it. We need to sell before the end of summer. We are 'asking' a certain price so we ARE allowing people to try to work us down in case we run out of time (it is a fair price; what the place is worth).
Anyways, the ad should begin running in the paper today. What can I do to this place to make it look more spatious and inviting? My BF is a pack rat; we've thrown away gobs and gobs of stuff, but still have a lot of things that should be in storage (we can't afford that). We've painted the back bedroom, and plan on painting the other 2 bedrooms, one of the bath rooms, and the laundry room. I've taken most of the pictures off of the walls to make the room look bigger (but now there's 2 big boxes taking up space in the back bedroom!).
Anyone have any tips or links for how to make the place look bigger and better?
I've watched a couple of TV shows on this subject. One one show, the lady wanted to make the home look 'homey'. The people told her that was not a good idea; she needed to make it to where people could picture their own furniture/things/ideas in the house. How can I do that??
I'd also like ideas for the outside of the house too.

A. We too are preparing to sell our home and don't have the money to do a whole lot. After watching numerous shows (By Me, Designed to Sell, Get it Sold etc). I've found two very important things that don't cost a cent but your labor. One is remove all clutter, personal items of decoration like kid's art on fridge, family pictures etc) and the other one is clean, clean, clean. Anything to make the bathroom/kitchen as sparkling as possible will pay off.
Other ideas to get the people in is curb appeal. Make your home as inviting outside as possible, well groomed, flowers etc. Then when people drive by, they will want to come in a see the inside.
Put pictures in your ads. And your email address (you can set up a free one just for responses).
Choose a title insurance company before you sell and they will help you with all the paperwork and frequently have standard forms you can copy.

Can I use a cordless phone as an intercom?
Q. I do not want to hook the phone up to service but just use them as an intercom from upstairs kids bedrooms to the basement master bedroom. Is that possible or do you need to be plugged into a phone line?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. how do you plan on ringing the other phone?

How many kids can you babysit without having a liscence?
Q. I am wanting to babysit so I can be home with my two kids and be able to pay some bills.
Someone told me that you can have up to 5 kids without having a liscence. Is that true??? How many can you have with a liscence????
I don't have a room that could be designated for the kids so I wouldn't be able to have a Child Day care at my house. I know they make you have one room set aside just for the kids.
Any opinions would be great thanks.

A. Each state is different and you can find out the rules for your state at http://nrc.uchsc.edu/STATES/states.htm
This site lists the statutes and a contact but I think the easiest way would be to just call the licensing contact the site provides and ask them your specific questions. Most licensing divisions hold frequent orientation meetings for people looking for more information about getting licensed. To give you an idea though, in my state you can care for any amount of kids you want without a license for 30 days or less out of the year (this covers most casual babysitters). If you plan on running a full time daycare you can care for any amount of kids for one family other than your own. If you want to care for kids from multiple families then you need a license. You can get licensed for a max of 3 to 12 kids depending on ages and how much space you have. For example I could watch 3 babies or 12 school age kids if I had enough space. You don't need a specific room just for the kids. When they come to do the home visit and calculate the square footage they include any space that the kids would use. For example they include your kitchen, bathroom, family room, any bedrooms where you would put the kids to nap, etc. They would not count your storage room or attic or the master bedroom (unless you planned on napping people in there too) or any other areas that the children wouldn't use. So research your state and good luck!
