Money Saving Ideas

pennies on the dollar.


My money saving ideas are priceless. Having been in 100's of homes and seen a million home lay-outs, I've come to some basic conclusions and solutions for helping you save money. My co-workers and friends have pushed and pushed for me to divulge my secrets. I have only shared these money saving tips and tricks with my personal clients. However, my arm is twisted...

I'm a bit shy about sharing money saving ideas for two reasons...

  • Sometimes, saving a penny when it comes to medical "stuff" can cost you down the line.

  • Each tip must take your entire situation into consideration...I can't visit your home but I've had a lot of requests for personal phone consult services. I may have the service coming soon.

(A telephone consult would give you one on one time with the expert. You can describe or even send pictures of your situation for experienced advice.)

I've been in mansions, I've been in cardboard boxes. Nothing has escaped my attention. When this service comes available, give me a try if you are in a bind and need some individual, custom designed suggestions for your special situation.

three big questions.

Each room of the house can broken down into traffic patterns, functional use patterns and hot spots. What are they? Where are they? Knowing leads us to the solution.

Traffic Patterns refer to the most used routes of travel in the room and through the room.

Functional Use Patterns refer to the areas within a room that are used most often. These can vary from the traffic patterns however, traffic patterns usually tell us where the functional use patterns are.

Hot Spots refer to those areas of each room that are just waiting to change someone's life. Sometimes they are obvious, sometimes they are not. They may require a simple awareness, maintenance, product purchase or even remodel.

Your first priority here should be safety now and into your Golden Years. However, it is wise to think of resale value as well. A house that is already Golden friendly can spark interest in buyer's minds.

Buyers may be looking for a home for them to retire in, or even a home to be able to safely house an aging parent in. These options and more are sparking new home builders and buyers to re-think their floor plan ahead of time.

Unless we identify these areas we will not be able to know what to make safe nor how to make it safe.

Once we have answered our three big questions, solutions are only a few thoughts away!
