Emergency Supplies for The Work Place!

Survival Kit for Your Workplace

All too often we over look the idea of being away from home when a natural disaster may occur. Here are some important things to have in the office. 

Assemble a survival kit for the workplace with the following supplies:

• Food (nonperishable -- nutrition bars, trail mix, etc.)

• Bottled water

• Jacket or sweatshirt
• pair of sturdy shoes
• Flashlight with fresh batteries
• Battery-operated radio with fresh batteries
• Essential medications
• Blanket
• Small first aid kit
• Extra pair of eyeglasses and/or contact lens solution.
• Whistle or other signaling device     

Evacuation Plans

If an earthquake occurs, you may need to evacuate a damaged area afterward. By planning and practicing for evacuation, you will be better prepared to respond appropriately and efficiently to signs of danger or to directions by civil authorities.

• Take a few minutes with your co workers to discuss a office evacuation plan. Sketch a floor plan of your office; walk through each area and discuss evacuation details.
• Plan a second way to exit from each area, if possible. If you need special equipment, such as a rope ladder, mark where it is located.
• Mark where your emergency food, water, first aid kits, and fire extinguishers are located.
• Mark where the utility switches or valves are located so that they can be turned off, if possible.
• Indicate the location of your co worker emergency outdoor meeting place

Help Me Sell My Home!

5 SIMPLE TIPS

Have you been feeling like selling your home has become the most frustrating thing EVER??? This is sometimes the case for sellers who over look the obvious. Here are a few tips that you may have not paid attention to.

1. You're pricing it too high. "Without question, the No. 1 reason a home doesn't sell is price, "Sellers have an emotional attachment to their homes and tend not to be objective about the true value."

2. Your house is kind of run-down. This doesn't mean you need to renovate your kitchen or fix your leaky roof. Well, you do need to fix the leaky roof, but you don't need to spend $40,000 on a new kitchen. Sometimes it's as easy as doing some fresh landscaping or a fresh coat of paint in certain areas.And you may think your house is a fixer-upper, and that you're likely to attract some handy do-it-yourself buyer.Today's buyers are busy, they are looking for properties where they can 'unpack' without doing a lot in renovations or decorating. Properties that are in need of TLC are at a disadvantage since two-income families would prefer to spend their weekend relaxing rather than redecorating.

3. Your house isn't run-down, but it looks like it might be. Any signs of water damage can be a huge turn-off to potential buyers. Take a water spot on the ceiling. The offending roof might have been fixed 15 years ago, but if the evidence is still there, buyers will assume there is still a problem, water damage makes buyers understandably jumpy, and can keep a home on the market much longer.

4. There's too much "you" in the house. It sounds cruel, but you want to sell your house to other people, who can imagine themselves living in your house. Simply put, you are not them.This is perhaps the most common problem of all, Buyers rarely have the same tastes as sellers. If you love the beach and palm trees, putting a palm tree in every single room may not be fit for everyone."What to do?  Moving your stuff, or at least some of it, out of the house and painting the rooms neutral colors so the buyer's imagination can start taking flight.

5. You are inflexible. No offense, but maybe you aren't showing your house off enough? If you aren't using a real estate agent and work away from your home, your time might be limited, of course. But you should try to make your house as accessible and available as possible for a Realtor and a potential home buyer to easily drop by and take a tour (which means having the place clean, too).
