5 Home Upgrades to Consider This Season

When it comes to home improvement, the options are endless. While many homeowners have their sights set on a huge overhaul (hello five-star kitchen complete with the latest and greatest appliances and gadgets), simple home updates that can be completed in a timely manner—without breaking the bank—typically offer the best return on your investment.

If you’re itching to upgrade your home this season, whether with your own two hands or by bringing in a certified contractor, consider the following ideas:

Change the Hardware. If a complete kitchen or bathroom overhaul is out of the budget, don’t write these rooms off your list just yet. By simply replacing the hardware (drawer pulls, knobs) and faucets, you can create an entirely different look. If you’re feeling really adventurous, and in the mood for a more drastic effect, you can even paint the cabinets. Or, dress up the kitchen with a decorative backsplash that ties the whole room together.

Add a Little Paint. Do all the rooms in your home blend together because they’re painted the same color? Painting an accent wall is a great way to help a room ‘pop.’ Whether it’s in the kitchen, living room, dining room (or any other room in the home), an accent wall is a simple way to incorporate a color you love into the space without going overboard. If you’re content with the walls just the way they are, another popular alternative is to paint the ceiling.

Update the Entryway. An inviting entryway is just as important for creating a good first impression among visitors as it is among prospective buyers. Wow your guests—and even your family—with an updated facade. From (re)painting the front door to incorporating vinyl door decals to welcome visitors in style, updating the front of your home is a surefire way to create a welcoming environment.

Install Hardwood Floors. Hardwood floors are a popular choice among homeowners looking to update their space, and with a little elbow grease and know-how, avid do-it-yourselfers can complete the look with their own two hands. Tongue-and-groove flooring that fits together like a puzzle is a safe bet for anyone looking to get their hands dirty in home improvement projects this season.
Add a Porch/Patio. Whether they’re semi-enclosed, attached to the home’s front entrance or built at ground level, the addition of a porch/patio extends a home’s living space. From adding value to your home to upping its curb appeal, if you have the space, this is one project you should move to the top of your to-do list.

No matter what type of home improvement project you choose to undertake, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to call in reinforcement, especially when it comes to projects you might not be able to tackle on your own.

“When considering completing any home improvement project, you should consider the value of hiring a general contractor,” says Lance Malcolm, chief operating officer of Contractor Connection. “An experienced contractor can be the difference between keeping the project moving forward smoothly or being delayed.”

Another Great Article Featuring Smitha Ramchandani of the SR Real Estate Group; on BizJournals.com


Smitha Ramchandani has been featured in another article, this time in  BizJournals.com, detailing her rise from a 20 - something in Real Estate, to the Top of her local market!

When age is an asset: How this realtor turned her youth into a viable niche

When Smitha Ramchandani was 24 years old, she was a newly married immigrant from Bombay who wasn’t sure where to look for a job.

Did she want to run a salon, as her family did in India? Not really. Did she want a 9-to-5 position? Not her style.

Ramchandani settled on real estate, after driving by a few offices and seeing expensive cars parked outside, and got her license.

But there was a problem: her age.

The brokers at the New Jersey-based Weichert Realtors, where she was hired, were more than twice her age (the average age of a realtor is 56, according to the National Realtors Association), and they looked at her as a kid trying in vain to test a profession she knew nothing about. Potential clients were skeptical of her youth, as well.

So Ramchandani tried to appear older. She wore fake eyeglasses and put white sidewalk chalk in her hair to give the illusion of gray streaks. But she was still getting rejected. "I almost quit real estate 50 or 100 times that first year," Ramchandani said.

Nineteen years later, Ramchandani is still in the business and one of her region's top Realtors. She and her husband, Rahul — both now with Keller Williams — closed a combined 71 deals in 2014. In the last year and half, they've closed more than 140.

For comparison, the typical agent closed 12 transactions last year, according to Maggie Kasperski, a spokeswoman for the National Realtors Association.

So what changed for the flailing 24-year-old on the brink of quitting? She nixed the fake glasses, tossed the chalk and embraced her age. With that, she found herself a niche — one that became the foundation for a highly successful real estate business.

'Use that toehold'

One of Ramchandani’s first customers in the early, tenuous days was a 20-something couple trying to sell their starter home.

Rather than try to appear as if she’d been in the business a long time, Ramchandani was upfront: She told her clients she was young, but that — as their peer — she had the right kind of perspective to close their deal.

“I said, ‘This is who I am… I know exactly what you want,’” Ramchandani recalled. “And from there, I really started growing.”

Soon after that $140,000 house, she sold another young person’s condominium for $60,000. She began to focus on buying and selling condos and town homes, popular among 20-somethings at the time.

She closed six transactions in 1997, her first (torturous) year in the business. In 1998, once she found her niche, Ramchandani closed 24.

They were low-commission transactions most of the established real estate agents didn’t have time for. But Ramchandani realized that if she dominated the local marketplace for young adults buying and selling homes, the high volume would make up for the small commissions. Soon, she developed a reputation as the go-to agent for residents in certain complexes.

“In a condo building, everybody is on the condo board. Everybody uses the same two elevators,” said Mark Bloom, a real estate broker and the president of Net Worth Realty USA, which has 12 offices around the country and sold more than $150 million in real estate to investors last year. To become that talking point when it comes to selling condos in that complex is a valuable tool for building business, Bloom said.

Broadly speaking, niches are valuable in any industry — from real estate to online dating. (Consider Farmers Only, a dating site for farmers. "How many people would have ever thought you were going to have a website for that?" Bloom asked.)

But, he added, all niche businesses don't have to stay niche businesses, he added. Sometimes, that niche can be a "toe-hold" — just enough to give you the experience and clout needed to move into more sectors.

Consider Coca-Cola, a company that started out with a single beverage and now is the parent company for hundreds of products. The company even owned Columbia Pictures for a half-dozen years.

"Use your strengths to get a toehold, and use that toehold to build," Bloom said.

'How long can you fake it?'

Ramchandani, now 43, no longer focuses primarily on the 20-something market. Many of her clients today sell homes worth anywhere from $400,000 to $3 million, she said.

But that market helped her establish herself in those brutal early days.

You have to know who your client is, she said. And then you have to know yourself — and which clients are going to accept you for exactly who you are.

After all, she added, mentioning the chalk and fake eyeglasses she once used: "How long can you fake it?

Smitha's Success Story featured on BizIndia.net People Section!


Smitha's Success Story was featured recently in an article by BizIndia.net Here is the original story:

Rising to the Top – You Don’t Need an MBA: All You Need is A Dream and Drive: One Woman’s “Lessons”


I've been poor, I've been rich. I've lived in India, I've lived in the United States. I have to be honest: it’s a lot more fun being rich in New Jersey than poor in Bombay, but my journey from home to a new homeland gave me a business education that transcends cultures.

I left Bombay at the age of 24 with nothing more than an American dream and a business drive to make something of myself. I now live in Morris County, New Jersey where I run my own real estate agency in what is the wealthiest state in the U.S. It’s a very competitive market where everyone is looking for the next big deal. I humbly rose to the top .5 percent of the state’s highest performing realtors.

Here are a few of the lessons I learned and applied in business that I believe can help any aspiring Indian business owner or entrepreneur:

Tip 1 - Scale in Reverse - Most MBA programs teach you to “scale up” but I “scaled in reverse”. Most realtors have only 10 to 12 clients a year, but in 2013-14, I closed 140 deals. Don’t always assume that bigger is better. Most people in business always pursue the big deal and ignore the middle-range. You can make a lot more money closing several deals than focusing your energy on just one big client.

Tip 2 – Create a Micro-Client Presence - Most large corporations follow the strategy of creating a large presence. I focused my energy and business on the hyper-local market.  For example, I created websites in different local markets to appeal to individual communities, which gave me a local presence to every potential home buyer and seller. This strategy can especially work within the Indian culture where we pride ourselves in our family and community.

Tip 3 – Find Clients that Accept You – I entered the real estate world at the age of 24 when everyone else was twice my age. At first, I tried to make myself look older by wearing glasses to fit in with the older crowd. But that didn’t work because everyone could see I was from a different generation. I soon realized there was another big market by selling condos to people who were my age. They accepted me for who I was. Don’t sell to people who don’t accept you. There is always a client who accepts you for who you are.

I believe these sales strategies can help any entrepreneur, but in our Indian culture, they can truly take you to the top. Just remember, when you arrive, make sure you share your strategies with others so we can all rise together.

Interesting facts to consider when deciding to sell your home yourself (FSBO) vs. hiring a professional agent.

What every homeowner should know BEFORE FSBOing (listing your house on your own).

- 89% of all buyers purchased their home through a real estate agent.
- 90% of all buyers search online during their home buying process.

ONLY 28% of all buyers look to print newspaper ads as an offline resource.

Why these stats matter:  Numbers never lie, and the overwhelming truth here is that by hiring a Real Estate Professional you are ensuring that your property gets both the maximum exposure to the market, as well as the highest possible price.

5 Awesome Home Improvement Tips for Under $500



It seems as though when it comes to selling our homes that there is always a never - ending list of things that just need to get done, from buying new patio furniture to replacing the kitchen cabinets.  Recently, editors with Money Magazine came up with a list of the five home remodeling projects that will greatly improve the overall look of your home, without breaking the bank.

1) Focus on improving curb appeal:
Whether or not you are planning to sell your home, having an inviting first appearance is vital. Start by spending time in the front yard from the curb and moving towards your front door, pulling weeds, planting perennials, and don't forget to trim those hedges! You should also make necessary repairs to fences or front steps and change out that dated mailbox, all for UNDER $500!

2) Paint that Front Door:
Going out and buying a fancy fiberglass front door could cost you upwards of $1,000, BUT you can still upgrade the look for far less by adding new hardware and a fresh coat of paint. Finish off the project with a new light fixture, fresh doormat, and a pot of flowers, and you just might have some change left from that $500 bill.

3) Paint Interior Walls:
Nothing improves the dynamic of a room more than a fresh coat of paint.  It can get complicated or quite expensive if you need to repair drywall, remove mold, or have really tall ceilings, so you may need to hire a pro.  But if you can do it yourself, there is a chance you may even be able to upgrade baseboards or add crown molding, and stay within the $500 budget.

4) Update that Lighting:
Lighting fixtures are to a home as jewelry is to an outfit. They can either spice the home up or look dated and dingy. Switching out a chandelier over the dining room table is simple and budget friendly project. If you're on an extremely tight budget, consider updating the lamps that you already have with new shades.

5) Install new toilets:
While installing new toilets may not necessarily change the look of the bathrooms, but if you still have toilets installed before 1995, replacing them with newer models will save you thousands of gallons of water you won't have to pay for.  You can find newer models for well under $200. So with that extra $300, consider upgrading the look of the bathroom with lighting, mirrors, or additional storage.
