What is a QR code?

Many of you have probably seen these QR codes all over the place by now. We are excited to say that they are now going to be all over the Real Estate world! According to Wikipedia the definition of a QR code is: A QR code (abbreviation for Quick Response code) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera telephones.

When you see a QR code, you simply take a picture of it with the app on your phone, then you will be lead to wherever the code is set for. Typically QR codes lead to a website link, or to an email address. For example, in Real Estate, they will lead to a virtual tour of the home, the agents website, or even an agents Facebook page.

How do you get started? It is very simple! If you have a smart phone, all you need to do is download the application on your phone (most are free), and take a picture of the code with your camera phone. We are starting to put these codes on property signs, flyers, websites, Facebook pages, business cards, advertising, magazine ads, etc. They are everywhere! We look forward to connecting with you as we take advantage of all the new technology that is available.

If you're interested in listing your property with an agent here at Prudential Utah Elite Real Estate you will be happy to know that we take full advantage of the latest in technology when marketing your property. From Facebook page posts, QR codes, Craigslist and KSL ads to YouTube videos and more! We are all over the internet and will make sure to get the very best exposure possible.

Maintaining The Value Of Your Home

Preventive maintenance is crucial to the value of your home. Keep your place in the excellent shape with frequent check-ups to save you the cost of emergency repairs. I’ve listed a few tips below to help get you started on the road to maintaining the value of your home.

First, retain the roof. Be diligent about roof maintenance. After the next rainy day, inspect your ceiling for wet spots. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask a licensed professional to inspect your roof. If the singles are curling, crackling or buckling, it is time to replace your roof. Then, check your gutters for foliage build-up. Gutters are at their best when clean. Trapped moisture leaves your home susceptible to mold and can cause major damage to your home.

Then, check the paint. Look for cracked or chipped paint on the exterior of the home. Wood begins to rot when it is exposed. Scrape off any falling paint and sand it down, then prime the bare wood surface and paint it with a high quality paint product. You may also want to try power washing as well.

As far as the landscaping goes, love your lawn! Keep up on all of that overgrowth to maintain a great looking yard. Pull up dead flowers, weeds, and replace them with a low maintenance variety like pansies, mums, or begonias. Trimming the overgrowth will help prevent the growth of mildew and moisture. Any branches should be at least 7 feet away from the exterior of your home to expand the life of your siding and roof.

Most importantly, keep the air fresh in your home. It never hurts to give your air conditioning unit a little TLC. Did you know that an efficient air conditioner removed moisture and humidity from your house, which in excess can damage its foundation? This is why it is so important to change your air filters monthly. When your air conditioner unit is free of dust and dirt, it will run more efficiently. Which will in turn, save you money on your energy bill.

Anything dripping inside of your home is not a good sign. Check around for leaking faucets or sweating pipes of any kind. When it is laundry day, look at the washing machine for cracks, bulges or dampness. Also, take a look under the kitchen sink for leaks and make a note of wetness around the dishwasher.

Hopefully these tips will help inspire you to get started with your spring cleaning. Talk with one of our Prudential Utah Elite Real Estate agents today to find out other ways to increase or maintain the value of your home.
