Did you know getting to know your appliances is important? Advice for new homeowners.

Lauren's next quick tip is primarily for first time homebuyers.  When you’re renting an apartment, you tend not to think much about the appliances unless something breaks — and that’s when you call in your landlord to take care of fixing it. The hard truth of homeownership is that you’re now the one who has to figure out how to repair things (and pay for it), which means you should be motivated to keep your appliances running smoothly.

Get familiar with basic maintenance: changing air filters, cleaning your oven, replacing your water filter, and winterizing your outdoor faucets, to name a few. A quick internet search can usually turn up owner’s manuals for your specific model number and let you know how often these tasks need to be performed.

Drop notes on your calendar to remind yourself when to complete these tasks so that you can stay on top of maintenance — because it’s much easier (and cost-effective) to maintain what you already have than have to replace it.  A little work right when you buy the home will go a long way in making home ownership easier.
