Real Estate Corner: #HomeTok

4 days ago | conwaydailysun.com | Paige O. Roberts

By Paige O. RobertsI avoided downloading TikTok for a long time. Having another social media app to learn and manage felt overwhelming, and honestly a bit intimidating, too. kAmx 42?’E C6>6>36C H92E >256 >6 7:?2==J 5@H?=@25 :E[ 3FE 6G6?EF2==J x 5:5] %9@F89 :E 92D 364@>6 E96 AC676CC65 2AA 7@C >2?J D:?46 :E 42>6 @FE[ :E’D DE:== ?@E 2E E96 E@A @7 >J =:DE] x =:<6 :E >@C6 E92?
Real Estate Corner: Requests and repairs

By Paige O. RobertsSome friends of mine have sold their house and are in the process of moving out. Besides the obvious tasks that need to be completed prior to them vacating the house — like packing up all their belongings — they have been working through other checklist items, some of which have been requested by the buyers while others fall under the “right thing to do” category. kAm%96 E2D<D 92G6 366? 72:C=J >:?@C 2?5 2== C62D@?23=6 C6BF6DEDi 255:?8 2 C2:=:?8 E@ E96 324< 564<[ AFEE:?8 4@G6CD @?

Real Estate Corner: Looking and listening

4 weeks ago | conwaydailysun.com | Paige O. Roberts

As I mentioned in a previous column, my sister and her husband have been on the search for a new home, and I have been tasked with being one of their tour guides for this project. Since they live across the country and are planning to relocate, they’ve relied on me as well as other members of the family to view houses and properties and report back.

Real Estate Corner: A little love

1 month ago | conwaydailysun.com | Paige O. Roberts

By Paige O. RobertsI’m not sure if it’s my own unique experience, but I’ve noticed in my adult life — specifically the last few years — I’ve had to teach myself a lot of basic life skills that never came to me instinctually like they seemed to for others. I’m not talking about how to do laundry or do the dishes.
Learning how (and when) to DIY

2 months ago | conwaydailysun.com | Paige O. Roberts

I have a running list in my head, at all times, of projects I need to complete at my house and at my business. As I’ve shared before, I am not much of a DIYer. My skill set is minimal and my desire to learn is nearly nonexistent. I’ve pushed through some of this in recent years, especially at my business. It feels more urgent and important to learn this stuff when my livelihood depends on it.
Real Estate Corner: Tour guide

When I visited my sister in Oregon last winter, I remember feeling certain she would never come back East. She, my brother-in-law, and my nephew were making a life for themselves in one of the coolest mountain towns I’d ever visited. It reminded me so much of northern New Hampshire, but instead of all the buildings in town giving Old-New-England vibes, it was more like Wild-West-Cowboy-Saloon structures. Still, like here, the village is filled with small shops selling essentials and then some.

Real Estate Corner: Thoughts on downsizing

2 months ago | conwaydailysun.com | Paige O. Roberts

When I was in college, and for some time afterward, I did a lot of house and pet sitting. I loved it; I can remember describing it as being paid to go on vacation. For weeks at a time, I would stay in these homes that had so many more comforts and amenities than my own: cable or satellite television, washers and dryers that weren’t in creepy basements, dishwashers, and huge showers with stone floors and built-in steam settings.
