  • Staging Your Home During the Holidays

    Traditionally, listing your home for sale during the Holiday season does not yield in the best results.  Appointment schedules are less frequent and Open Houses are poorly attended.  However, if people are house-hunting during the holidays, they must have a good reason why they are looking for homes that are priced to sell.  Here are some helpful tips for selling your home during the months of November through January.  Feel free to “deck the halls,” but careful not to go overboard with the holiday tchotchkes.  Tastefully decorated homes around the holidays will create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for your perspective buyers.  Décor also includes curb appeal with outdoor lights, wreaths, window candles, live garland and other elegant selections.  Safety is also a concern during the winter months.  Be sure to clear driveways, walkways and stairs of snow and ice.  Winter boots are often messy and you don’t want buyers bringing the outdoor elements on your hardwood floors or plush carpeting, so provide your buyers with inexpensive disposable shoe covers.  Lastly, olfactory perception is a form of communication that is often undervalued.  Entering a holiday home with the seasonal scents of pine, apple cider and cinnamon will put your perspective buyers in a good mood.  You can invest in scented candles or to make a better impression, provide your buyers with a sample of holiday treats.  After viewing many homes on the market, your buyers will remember the house with the holiday snacks.  Click https://www.hgtv.com/design/real-estate/top-10-tips-for-selling-your-home-during-the-holidays for more tips on staging your home for sale during the holidays.  If you’re ready to list your home, A.J. Dell’Omo, Inc., Realtors will provide you with a customized home report and guide you through the home-selling process.  Experience the Dell’Omo Difference!

  • Holiday Home Pet Safety Tips

    At A.J. Dell’Omo, Inc., Realtors, our pets are like family, so we want to provide extra special care this Holiday Season to keep them safe and happy.  Here are a few safety tips you’ll want to share with your pet-loving friends.  Many seasonal plants are poisonous to your four-legged family member, including Poinsettias, Holly and yew branches or greenery you might use in your Holiday inspired floral arrangement or centerpiece.  Fido and Fluffy are going to be curious about the decorations around the house and gifts under the tree.  These ornamental accents can be dangerous.  If swallowed, tinsel and gift bows can cause serious intestinal blockage.  Pets may also like to chew on strands of holiday lights and extension cords.  Create barriers and keep these items out-of-reach from your curious critter.  As guests come in and out of your home, it’s easy for your pet to sneak out unnoticed.  Be sure they are microchipped and wearing a collar with an informational tag.  You can also temporarily keep your pet in a closed room or crate until all the guests arrive.  Lastly, it is tempting for you and your dinner guests to feed your pet dinner scraps and leftovers.  However, many of our Holiday ingredients can make your pet sick, including chocolate, eggnog, yeast, pork meat, garlic, onions, grapes and raisins.  The A.J. Dell’Omo, Inc., Realtors Team would like to wish you and your loved ones a happy and safe Holiday Season.

  • Business Spotlight: Solve It Sherlock at the Asbury Circle

    Imagine you are part of a Special Task Force Team and your mission is to save the human race from an infectious disease.  Would you be able to focus on this special mission if a live zombie were in the room with you?  Before I continue, let me clearly state this game is not recommended for children under 15 years old.

    Of the three rooms at Solve It Sherlock Escape Room in Neptune, Quarantine is by far the most intense.  To expect the element of fear is an understatement.  The owners of Solve It Sherlock Escape Rooms collaborated with a haunted house designer in order to create the psychologically thrilling concept, which currently has a 50% escape rate.  You have one hour to break into the terrorist base and stop the Zombie Warhead Missile from launching as a live zombie is chained to the wall behind you.  Don’t be fooled…the chain has more length than you think.  If the zombie touches you on the shoulder, you may be infected by the virus.  As a precaution, you’ll need to stay in the decontamination chamber for 2 minutes.  Once cleared, you can rejoin your team.

    If you are too squeamish, but want to experience the challenges of Quarantine, request a zombie immunity jacket for no zombie contact.  This game is NOT available in any other Jersey escape room.  Click http://solveitsherlockescape.com/index.html to book your escape room experience.  Solve It Sherlock Escape Rooms can accommodate your private event, so you can share the scare with your own group of friends and family.  You can also buy a gift voucher just in time for the holidays.  #solveitsherlockzombie
