Thinking of selling your house? Today we’ll go over how to prepare your place so you can get the best price for it! What You Need to Know to Sell Your House for More Selling a house, especially when it is your first place, can be overwhelming. Even in a seller’s market like we have here in Raleigh, you have work to do. You have to fix up your space, stage your house, and have it ready for showings. Let’s not forget this added layer of social distancing and safety we need to practice while we deal with the coronavirus. However, selling your house at the best price can also be a huge boost to your finances and bring you closer to your goals. The difficult part can be getting to that point Which is why I’m glad Mariella Guillama is here today. She’s an award -winning Real Estate Broker at Daymark Realty.

Who doesn’t love a good DIY home project? But how do you take what you see online or on television and translate that into your home, especially when you are not naturally handy? Today, we’ll look at what you need to know to get started and build up your DIY skills! Getting Started with DIY home ProjectsLast week we were talking about being a frugal foodie, home brewing, and having a garden at your place. These are some of my favorite topics. I enjoy talking about how to save money and put it towards goals that matter to you but I also love learning new things. As I mentioned last week, I wasn’t a natural gardener. My first attempts are pretty bad keeping plants alive. I ended up going with cacti and fake plants inside the house for a few years. By starting off small with a little front patio garden. I began to get some practice and to learn some skills. And I would not call myself a garden expert. Now I’m really proud that we have a space out back where we can grow the vegetables that we enjoy and love. I feel the same way about DIY. Neither one of us are naturally handy people, but when we became homeowners, we out of necessity had to learn some skills. Not only so that we can save some money, but turn our house into our home. If you’re thinking of taking on some home projects, but you don’t know where to start, then this is your episode. Whitney Hansen, who’s the creator and host of The Money Nerds podcast is here today. Besides her financial skills, she also has some serious DIY talents. She loves to jump into projects whether it’s painting her house, building a fireplace, or flipping furniture. In this episode, we’ll get into:

Just because we’re at home doesn’t mean we can’t still be frugal foodies. Today, we’ll look at how you can jumpstart a garden and start making craft brews at home! Frugal Foodie at HomeFrugal foodie is back! If you’re new to this series, it’s where we explore ways you can eat well without breaking the budget. For some though, when you hear frugal. It means cheap. I get it. Maybe, you know, someone who brags about getting the absolute lowest price on everything. Whether it’s good or bad. While you can save money being frugal, the real focus is getting the best value. When it comes to food and really life, he don’t want to settle for less just because it’s the cheapest. You want to get the most out of what you have. With this series, we look at ways that you can make your dollar go further. We’ve talked about getting great deals on food, whether it’s grocery hacks, meal planning, or even going out to eat. Today, we’re going to look at another way you can enjoy fantastic meals and still keep things affordable. We’re talking about gardening and home brewing. What was interesting was how incredibly relaxing these hobbies, where especially last year. Many of us had more time at home in the usual options weren’t always available. Family trips, checking out the museums or festivals were all off the table. We had to find ways to keep ourselves busy and have some creative outlets. For us that included making home brews and being out in the garden. We had home brewed years ago, but when we had two toddlers at home, it became more of a hassle so we took a hiatus. Thankfully, we still had the equipment in our basement so when we felt like starting that back up last year, it was fairly simple. The other hobby gardening is something we’ve been working on year after year, especially with this house. We have our main space Outback, where we grow hot peppers, tomatoes, different green strawberries and more. 2020 was still. You know, 20, 20, but it was good to have a project to work on. While, I don’t think all of our Happy’s have to be productive or optimize, I do feel like there are some great benefits. With making and growing your own food. If you’re really looking to make meals at home, more enjoyable and special, it’s hard to beat something that you grew or made yourself. Today, we’re going to look at what it takes to get started so the two of you can level up and become frugal foodies. In this episode, we’ll go over:
