When looking for commercial space, there are many factors that need to be taken into account in order to ensure you find the right property. Location, price point, and size are all important considerations when selecting a commercial space. To make sure you find the perfect fit, here are some of the things you should consider before signing a lease or making an offer.

• LOCATION
  The location of your property is one of the most important aspects to consider when looking for commercial space. You want to make sure that it's easily accessible for customers and employees alike. This means taking into account traffic patterns and potential parking availability. Additionally, take a look at what other businesses are located within the area—this can give you an idea of how popular the area is amongst customers and how easy it will be for them to find your business.
  
  
• PRICE POINT
  Another key consideration is price point. Be sure to factor in all associated costs such as taxes and fees prior to signing any paperwork or making an offer on a property. It's also important to consider what amenities are included in the lease agreement as this can impact your bottom line as well. Make sure you review all documents carefully before agreeing to anything so that you have a clear understanding of what is being offered and expected from both parties involved in the transaction.
   
• SIZE
  Finally, size matters when it comes to choosing commercial space! You want to choose a space that can accommodate the needs of your business without feeling too cramped or too large for its purpose. Additionally, think about any potential expansion plans when assessing size requirements—you don't want to have to move again in just a few months once your business starts growing!

Finding commercial space can be an overwhelming process but by keeping these three considerations in mind—location, price point, and size—you'll be well on your way toward finding the perfect fit for your business needs! With careful planning and research, you'll be able to find a suitable property that meets all of your expectations in no time.

When it comes to selling commercial or residential property, auctions can be a great way to move a property quickly and efficiently. An auction is an accelerated method of sale that draws many potential buyers, generates competition, and increases the likelihood of getting the best price for your property. Before deciding whether an auction is the right choice for you, there are some signs that indicate you should consider doing an auction.

• QUICK SALE
  The first sign is if you want to sell quickly. Auctions greatly expedite property sales due to their competitive nature; often times buyers are willing to bid more than they may have with other methods of sale in order to secure the property. If speed is your main goal, then an auction may be the best way to go about it.
   
• MAXIMUM MARKET EXPOSURE
  A second sign is if you're looking for maximum market exposure. During auctions, properties often receive attention from national, regional, and local markets; this allows more buyers to participate in the bidding process and can draw top dollar for your property. With traditional sales methods, you miss out on reaching potential buyers who are outside of your immediate area; with an auction, however, anyone may potentially take part in the bidding regardless of their location.
  
  
• MULTIPLE PROPERTIES
  Another indication that an auction might be right for your situation is if you have multiple properties or large parcels of land that could benefit from a collective sale. Auctions allow you to "package" multiple items into one lot and draw more interest than each individual item would receive through traditional means; this could also generate higher bids from investors with specific interests in certain types of properties or geographic areas. Additionally, when multiple properties are being sold at once during an auction, it reduces paperwork and administrative costs associated with separate purchases over time; this gives sellers greater returns on investment when done properly.
  
  
• "STALE" LISTING
  Finally, you should consider doing an auction for commercial or residential properties if the listing has been on market for too long without any real buyer interest or offers coming through—sometimes called "stale" listings by real estate agents—as this could signal potential problems such as title defects or overpricing issues that need addressing before any type of sale takes place. An auction provides fresh energy and excitement around sales while allowing more flexibility with terms regarding inspections and financing which can help bring out buyers otherwise hesitant due to those concerns.

In conclusion, there are numerous indications that point toward doing an auction when selling commercial or residential properties such as needing a quick sale, wanting maximum market exposure for your listing(s), having multiple units/parcels available together rather than individually listed, or having stale inventory from longer-than-usual marketing periods without substantial offers coming through regularly. If even one of these conditions applies to you then it might be worth considering giving auctions a chance as they offer considerable advantages over traditional selling methods while helping to get the most value out of what's being sold quickly and effectively.

From October through December, the joys of the holidays are abundant. Unfortunately, so is the cleanup afterward. If your storage area is a nightmare full of boxes and bags, it's time to roll up your sleeves and organize so that all of your beautiful decorations are out of your way and ready for next year. But where should you begin? Our real estate agents have a few tips to help you get started.

• Invest in matching storage containers
  This is not to make your garage look pretty, although it will be far nicer to look at than a pile of sagging, dirty boxes. Matching containers mean that you can stack them high to utilize all the vertical space available without creating a huge footprint. While you're at it, buy plenty of labels so that each container can be marked with its contents. That way, you won't have to search through Thanksgiving linens to look for the Halloween skeletons. Cardboard invites pests to investigate the contents, so opt for plastic containers. This is one time that biodegradable is not the best choice.

Once you've sold your home and found a new house among Wichita homes for sale, you don't want to move things you no longer want or need. Before you toss it all or donate it all, hosting a garage sale is a great way to make a fast buck. But, it's not an easy buck, and you'll have to put in some effort to make your garage sale successful. Our real estate agents recommend the following tried and true methods to make that happen.

• Time it Right
  The second Saturday in August is National Garage Sale Day. It's a great time because most people are back from vacations, and kids are just starting school. If you can't do it then, avoid scheduling it for a holiday weekend otherwise, the holiday will affect turnout.

After researching and exploring potential options, you've finally closed on your new home. Before you sit back and enjoy your new space, our real estate agents recommend that you do a few things to lower your expenses and protect your property. Here are some tasks to add to your to-do list. 

1. Check Your Insulation
   If your new home has an attic, give it a quick inspection to ensure that it has ample insulation. There should be at least six inches of insulation, and it should be located between your attic's beams. Low levels of insulation can increase your home's heating and cooling costs and stress your heating and cooling system.
   
   
2. Deep Clean Your New Home
   Before you start unpacking and setting up furniture, give your new home a thorough scrub. It's much easier (and quicker) to clean an empty home. Start at the ceiling in each room and work your way to the floors. Vacuum dust and dirt away before wiping down surfaces and walls.

Have you found yourself working from home a little more frequently this past year? You're not alone if you have, and you're not likely to return to the office anytime soon. Most Americans have indicated they would prefer to work from home rather than return to the cubicle. However, many Americans have discovered that working from home daily requires finding creative ways to transform areas into ad hoc offices. If you're looking for a fast and easy way to find space and close up the office at the end of the day, our real estate agents recommend taking a closer look at your cluttered closets. 

Clutter Can Go

Closets are catch-alls for clutter. They are filled with old sporting equipment, packing materials, shopping bags, old shoes, items for Goodwill, and more. While that little voice in the back of your head says, "You'll use this someday," that little voice is blowing smoke. You'll never need it. You'll never use it. And, you'll never miss it. So, clear it out and toss or donate it. With spring cleaning in high gear, now is the perfect time to motivate yourself to create a cloffice you will use week after week, year after year.

Finally! You've found your new home and our real estate agents have recommended a moving company to help you transition from the old place to the new. It would be nice if the could do everything for you, but in most cases, that's not realistic. Here are a few things you need to address before the movers knock on your door. 

• Purge, purge, and purge some more
  Unless you want to move those toys your kids outgrew two years ago and those shoes you will never wear again, you have to take the time to decide what stays and what goes. Sort each closet and drawer into toss, donate and keep. Get rid of the first two and get it all out of your way. As you pack, you may want to get rid of even more.

January is the best time of year to clear out the clutter from closets, coatrooms, and under the beds. From old skis to dusty collectibles, there are plenty of ways to get yourself organized and divest yourself of long-forgotten items you no longer need. Our real estate agents highly recommend the following suggestions as you gear up to get rid of your unwanted items. 

• Start with Clothes
  Old shoes, pants that are too tight (and beyond salvation by a New Year's resolution), shirts that are out of style, and winter gear that has worn out its welcome are ready for a trip to the local thrift store. 

• If It's Broke, Don't Fix It
  Old electronics, damaged appliances, and anything that's missing pieces needed for safe and reliable operation should make their way into the recycling bin at your local hardware store.
