Why AllThingsHomeAndHouse.com?
My name is Mark, creator of All Things Home and House. I want to take just a moment to explain to you why I created AllThingsHomeAndHouse.com. The reasons are rather simple.
To Help Reduce Your Stress
Like a lot of couples, when my wife and I were first married, we experienced a number of stressful events. And one of those was the purchase of a home. Why so stressful? Well, for one you are laying out a lot of money. You’re taking on a new mortgage. You’re usually moving and having to pack all your belongings. It’s a very, very stressful event. It’s enjoyable but stressful
So I wanted to do something to help those of you who are going through that process or about to. Or maybe you’ve been a homeowner for some time now, but you are looking to improve your home without breaking the bank. I won’t eliminate all your home-related stresses but I hope to alleviate some of that anxiety. Being a homeowner is an incredible blessing.
I want you to enjoy your home as much as you can. And that really is what is motivating me – to help you get as much as you. out of your home. And if I can reduce just a few of those anxieties, then we both will win. So we’ll talk about a lot of different things like how to save for a down payment, how to maintain the house, etc. Each topic is designed to help you reduce the stress that often comes with home ownership.
To Show You How
Maintenance of a home is critical to maintaining and increasing its value. Many homeowners today do not maintain their homes as they should. As a result, the hot water tank, or HVAC, or refrigerator, fails long before it should. And you know what that means? Your hard-earned money goes out the window! And so really this is a resource to save money as well.
AllThingsHomeAndHouse is a resource you can trust. Like asking a friendly neighbor for help, I am going to give you’ll have some how-to content. We will also look at some of the latest technology for use within the home. I’m kind of a tech geek to a degree and love technology. Sometimes I am one of the first to embrace new technology. At other times I wait like a lot of us do but together we’re going to look at some of those. Regardelss, I think you will enjoy seeing how you can easily care for your home.
A little bit about me is in order. I have always been motivated by wanting to have an impact in people’s lives. It’s part of my DNA. Perhaps it’s part of yours as well. So the careers that I have chosen throughout my life have that as their primary motivation. Currently, I work for a nonprofit and we build homes. You probably can guess which nonprofit that is.
It gives me great satisfaction knowing that what I’m doing directly impacts people. And so it’s part of the reason for me developing this website and posting these videos – to be of service and help to you. That’s who I am and what I do. And so it’s about helping you enjoy your home and house even more.
To Increase Your Home’s Value
For most of us, our home is our most expensive investment. We hope, we plan and we think that after purchasing a home, and maintaining that home for a few years, the value of that home will increase. Mostly that is true. It is based on a number of things. One is, of course, market forces, but another is how that home is maintained over the years. Things break, paint fades and hot water tanks fail. All of these things will come into play. You will face them. And so you’re going to have a question at that point. AllThingsHomeAndHouse is here to help.
Hopefully, we’ll have a lot of fun together. Your feedback is important. So don’t be shy. Tell us what you need. At AllThings…, we are here to help. May the things you do to your house lead to the home you’ve always wanted.
