Time For Brush Pick Up-Freehold Township

Don’t forget the spring cleanup…Here in Freehold Township we have Spring Brush Pick Up by the Public Works Department. It’s a great time to get out there and get rid of the dead shrubs from the year prior. It’s time to prune those shurbs that have gotten out of control over the winter. Also, trimming the extra long tree limbs is a great idea as they fall downward on a rainy day from weight of the drenched leaves.

Here is a schedule of the brush pickup for the months of April and May 2019. If you are in the process of getting your home sale ready for the real estate market, this is a great time to get out there and get some clean up done. Looking for more tips to get ready, just contact Roslyn Sibilia at 732-995-5609 or go to NJhomesbyRoslyn.com

COLLECTION CRITERIA BRUSH (from Freehold Township Website)

All brush is to be placed at the curb (not in the street) by 6 a.m. on the first day of the scheduled week to ensure pickup. It takes approximately one week to complete each sector. THERE WILL BE NO CALL BACKS.

All brush is to be cut to a maximum length of eight (8) feet and a maximum diameter of eight (8) inches and should not exceed eight (8) cubic yards (approximately the size on a mid-size automobile). Grass, rocks, leaves, stumps, construction debris, fence posts, etc., as well as commercial trimmings and recyclables, will not be collected. 

For the safety of pedestrians and motorists, please do not place brush at the curb more than two (2) days prior to the scheduled pickup.

How Did Your County Do?

The Real Estate Market is always moving, however the seasons make an impact at times. The most serious buyers will view homes in freezing low temperatures, why? …because the housing market never stops! Buyers need homes all times of the year. However, when storms come into play, they can put a hault on activity for both buyers and sellers. February 2019 was a rough month, but time to move forward. Here is a Home Sale Market Snapshot of Central New Jersey for both Single Family Residences and Adult Communties. How did your county fair? If you would like more information on market updates, contact me at 732-995-5609 or go to NJhomesbyRoslyn.com

Spring Cleaning Time Is Here

It’s that time of year again…spring cleaning time… Don’t huff and puff and think of it as a chore, think of it as “out with the old and in with the new.” It’s time to get organized and spruce up your home. Sometimes you don’t even have to break the bank. A fresh coat of paint is the cheapest way to give a fresh new feeling or a change to your decor. Swap pieces of furniture between rooms and presto…looks like you’ve been shopping. But before the fun part of redecorating, you should always start with some cleaning first. When all is done, I am sure you will find the end results are always rewarding and wondering why it took you so long to do. Contact me for more spring cleaning ideas or references to get it done at 732-995-5609 / NJHomesbyRoslyn.com.

Caution The Urge To Fix

Don’t Be the Do It Yourself Redoer…There are many home improvement items or repairs we would like tackle around the house. So we view the instructional videos, gather our supplies and then spend countless hours trying to be the professional we didn’t hire. According to Realtor Magazine, we sometimes actually run up more expenses by having to redo the project, or by making the repair worse. Here is a list of repairs/upgrades we may want to rethink.

10 most regretted DIY home improvement projects, according to ImproveNet, are:

1.    Installing floor tiles

2.    Replacing a ceiling

3.    Refinishing hardwood floors

4.    Installing carpets

5.    Finishing the basement

6.    Installing hardwood floors

7.    Refinishing cabinetry

8.    Installing sprinklers

9.    Installing showers and baths

10. Painting home interiors

So before trying to be the hero and make the repair to save the day, especially when getting your home in shape before hitting the market, you may want to consider hiring a professional. Not sure who to call? Contact me at 732-995-5609 / NJHomesbyRoslyn.com to provide a list of references used by many. Not sure what repairs to make to make your home sale ready? Call me!
