The Inside Scoop – November

The Inside Scoop – November

My motto for this month: Inhale turkey, exhale 2020! Just 2 months to go and they’re going to be the best ones yet – I know it! First, I wanted to start with some gratitude! Thank you for checking out my new website and blog! I’m so grateful to be able to share my love of all things home and update you every so often on what’s happening with real estate life!
 
This career has allowed me to build so many friendships, and I’m so thankful for your support along the way.
 
Since the holiday season has arrived, I’m bringing your Monthly Homeowner Checklist along with my November home favorites. Whether you’re entertaining on a smaller scale, virtually, or not at all, it’s still a great time of year to enjoy the small things. Your favorite slice of pie on Thanksgiving (guilt free), your holiday movie traditions, shopping sales on Black Friday and of course, the warmth from a cozy fire!
 

Here’s Your November Checklist

Check paths, stairs and railings for safety
 
Deep-clean bathroomsCheck bathtub caulk and repair if needed
 
Remove the last of the Fall leaves.
 
Restock emergency kits for car and home
 
If you use a fireplace or wood stove, order firewood
 
Clean Garbage Disposal
 
Lubricate Door LocksClean (and flip) all your mattresses
 
Get a Chimney Sweep to Inspect the Fireplace

Order holiday cards and update your contact list (I think holiday cards are more important than ever with this socially distanced year we’ve had)!
