Known for his hands-on service as a Realtor, Corey Nelson often pulls weeds, helps with cleaning, and otherwise supports his clients in improving the curb appeal of their homes as they are put up for sale.First impressions play a key role in generating buyer interest in a property. Homes that look well-kept on the outside are more likely to make a buyer want to look at them more closely. For the seller, this means that it is worth taking the time to clean the front entry way and, if necessary, ensure that the front door has a fresh coat of paint. Entryway light fixtures should be functioning, and the door mat area should be free of dust and dirt.If parts of the exterior are dirty, pressure washing will likely be worth the time and investment. Homes with painted siding may need a fresh coat, particularly if there is any chipping or fading.The landscaping should be free of weeds, and grass should be full and healthy. Removing any dead plants can instantly brighten an area, as can the pruning of overgrown tree branches and bushes. Mulched areas may need some fresh mulch to be added, and planting a few flowers can provide a further burst of color.

As a Realtor with Sotheby's International Realty in Los Angeles, California, Corey Nelson draws on over 12 years of experience in the local market. Realtor Corey Nelson helps buyers to navigate the complexities of buying a house, which includes the purchase of homeowners insurance.While the law does not require someone to have homeowners insurance simply because he or she owns a property, most mortgage lenders do require buyers to have a policy. This protects the lender against loss in case that a fire, natural disaster, or other event leads to damage or destruction of the home.Under California law, insurers can determine their own rates, provided that they secure approval by the California Department of Insurance (CDI). As long as the CDI determines rates to be competitive and reasonable, the insurer can charge a buyer based on coverage purchased, construction of the home, property location, and other factors that may increase or decrease an insurer's risk. If a homeowner cannot afford a policy at market rates, he or she may be able to secure coverage through the state's Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) plan.The insurer has the right to alter these rates within 60 days of a policy start, provided that the company contacts the buyer and gives him or her the opportunity to cancel coverage. In addition, the insurer can only cancel coverage after the policy has been active for 60 days, and then only for specific reasons including nonpayment, fraud, or significant changes to the property. The policy holder must receive notification at least 20 days before cancellation, or at least 10 days prior in the case of fraud or failure to pay.
