When you are selling your home, your realtor will provide you many pages of various forms to complete. One of the forms is a seller disclosure.

The seller's responsibility with the seller disclosure is to share "certain material defects -- elements of a home that may negatively impact its value..." - NAR

HOA stands for Home Owners Association. Within the HOA is a board, made up of neighbors, who volunteer their time to manage community maintenance and rules.

An HOA can either have been established by the community developer or a group of neighbors.

Such communities that may have an HOA are single family homes, condominiums, townhome, or master-planned.

Consider adding elements of Feng Shui to the home to create a harmony in the spaces.

Feng Shui is arranging the home to welcome and sustain good energy.

Start by making sure the front door is not cluttered with items. Keep the area clear and clean.
Also, be sure to keep the windows clean to invite the natural sunlight to shine through and brighten the room.
