W
ith the Holiday season

comfortably in the rear
view mirror, potential
sellers are entering an annual peri-
od of what I call, Listing Limbo.
The internal debate rages as to
whether or not one should list
their home now, or wait until the
spring market arrives. Lets take a
closer look at each approach from a
Realtors perspective to see if our
answer becomes a bit clearer.
List now is the answer that
many Realtors will give, and in
most cases it can be sound advice.
The truth is that even though
buyer traffic may be lighter this
time of year, the buyers that are
actually out there tend to be very
serious. The herds of casual look-
ers seeking the latest interior
design tips have not yet left their
warm homes to venture out and
see what this years inventory has
to offer. That coupled with the
fact that the inventory of homes is
still low from winter could mean
that waiting until spring may also
mean missing a solid buyer.
So its a no brainer? Not so
fast! Many homes have physical
characteristics that may increase
their value once the white outside
turns to green. For example, lake-
front properties and those with
extensive landscaping could be
taking one of their strongest assets
off the table by listing too early. If
one of the key factors in procuring
a sale has to do with what sits
beyond the outside walls, it may be
a good idea to give it a month or
two to ensure that your strongest
foot is forward. Remember, you
only get one shot at being NEW
and you want your home and its
particular characteristics to be at
their best.
So there you have it. If you
are looking to sell this year, listing
now may be your best bet consider-
ing the lack of competition. On
the other hand, if your homes
desirability will be decreased by the
lack of plants, pools, lakes or any
other outdoor asset, you are likely
better off waiting until Mother
Nature is on your side. Heres to a
phenomenal year in real estate.
See you on the market!

T
wo families apply for
college financial aid:
one set of parents par-
tied and went on vacation
every year for a decade, eat-
ing-out weekly, never saving
or investing a dime, putting
nothing away for their kids
college education. The other
parents did sacrifice, save and
invest to accumulate funds for
their kids education, even if
not reaching the complete
tuition goal will be denied for
financial aid in spite of doing
the right thing! The couple
will be denied in favor of the
couple that made no effort to
save for their kids; in fact they
will receive need based
grants, scholarships and
financial aid packages reward-
ing their lack of parental and
fiscal responsibility, sacrific-
ing some personal lifestyle
today for the betterment of
their children tomorrow. Isnt
this sad, but its true. Penalize
the good guy by compensating
the bad. No matter though,
In America, no good deed
goes unpunished!
Another quick example:
two identical houses built the
same day are sold to two fam-
ilies. One family gardens,
paints, mows the lawn,
updates and improves their
home constantly, where the
other family creates an eye-
sore, never trims the grass, the
paint is peeling-off and the
pool became an algae infested
swamp. For maintaining and
beautifying the house, the
first family/owner will be
penalized by the tax assessor
for their good deeds and
efforts benefiting themselves,
the neighbors and the com-
munity where the other fami-
ly/owner of the eyesore quali-
fies for a tax reduction or at
minimum, no increase in
property tax! Figure that out?
In America, no good deed
goes unpunished!
One NJ driver elects to
have severely limited or no
auto insurance; another NJ
driver, purchases a great poli-
cy including collision cover-
age and no threshold liability
coverage. The two drivers
have an opportunity to meet
each other from a head-on
collision that is the fault of
driver # 1. Because driver #2
purchased a policy with a
more expensive protection
plan optimally protecting him
and his family from financial
ruin, the at fault drivers
insurance policy is inadequate
to pay for the losses suffered
by driver #2 forcing his policy
and company to pay the
claim. As a result, driver #2s
premium goes up at renewal
and for years afterward since a
claim was paid on his behalf.
Why? Isnt that why driver #2
paid more to begin with by
making the better and proper
policy selection! In America,
no good deed goes unpun-
ished!
From a top-down per-
spective, I fear that too many
people who currently hold a
government office, are more
concerned with getting re-
elected than doing the job
they were elected to perform.
Whenever class warfare is
declared, the working tax-
paying public doesnt have a
chance. Nope, free enter-
prise, capitalism and proving
that you are a worthy respon-
sible employee to an employ-
er pales in comparison to
being paid to do nothing,
earn nothing, contribute
nothing and care about noth-
ing, except for yourself.
These people need to be
reminded that somewhere,
somehow, someone took a risk
with their time, capital or
lives to create a business that
would one day have the abili-
ty to create jobs and employ
others which in-turn created
the largest middle class in the
history of the world! It is the
rich that created the middle
class that purchases goods and
services that drive the econo-
my; to let the vast majority of
Americans live a lifestyle sec-
ond to no other nation on the
planet, or at least thats how it
used to be! The people who
were the risk-takers deserve to
make more, not pay a dispro-
portionate amount more. It is
the risk-taker that stood to
lose everything and some did,
yet many of them tried again
and found tremendous success
only to be penalized and pun-
ished by increased forced
charity (taxation) without
regard for the risks they
undertook, because in
America no good deed goes
unpunished!
If the government con-
tinues to levy even more tax
on the 5% of the public that
are considered rich, according
to this President Obama,this
includes families making over
$250,000 annually, they will
lose all incentive to sacrifice
and risk even more to earn
$350,00, $500,000 and
$1,000,000. They will move
away, retire early, sell their

business or more likely, fire
staff in order to pay the taxes,
which, they are powerless to
curtail. What incentive do
they have to do otherwise;
the income tax base will
shrink even further when
they fight back with the only
weapons at their disposal,
exacerbating an already tenu-
ous situation. The answer to
this debate is to incentivize
the business builders and job
creators. Another answer is to
reduce taxes on the rich so
they may continue to buy
cars, boats, airplanes and
vacations. Im speaking about
our Presidents definition of
rich, those families earn-
ing $250,000 $3,000,000
annually. The super-rich,
annual incomes exceed-
ing $3,000,000 - $10,000,000
annually comprise a totally
different group as do the mega
rich whose annual income
exceeds $10,000,000. They
can pay a little bit more, but
whatever the percentage is, it
will not solve anything with
the annual budget or total
deficit as there are just too
few of these people to tax!
Conclusion tax everyone on
everything they buy in lieu of
income tax, exempting food,
clothing and shelter, there-
fore necessities are tax-free.
Bob buys a row-boat so hell
pay row boat tax. David pur-
chases a $5,000,000 yacht and
hell pay yacht tax. Paul
doesnt like boats, yachts,
fishing or swimming, there-
fore hell pay no tax! Pretty
simple isnt it? However, in
the meantime there are
income taxes with more and
higher income tax rates com-
ing because government
refuses to reduce spending or
cut entitlements or change
the current broken system of
taxation. What are the tax-
paying people to do to get
some tax relief until some of
these ideas are taken to heart
and acted upon?

W
hat are your
chances of being
audited by the IRS?
Not surprisingly, the nations tax
collector tends to go after the
big money.
According to figures
recently released by the IRS,
approximately 1.11 percent of
all 2010 individual tax returns
were audited in 2011, the same
as the prior year. This rate has
hovered around the 1 percent
mark for several years.
In comparison, the audit
rate of 1.02 percent for taxpay-
ers with income of less than
$100,000 almost quadrupled to
3.93 percent for those with an
income of $200,000 or more.
That means the IRS audited
roughly one out of every 25 of
these returns. And the odds of
being audited jumped to about
one out of eight for those with
income above $1 million.
Besides chasing high-
income taxpayers, the IRS
often flags returns for the
following reasons:
Unreported income. The IRS
will match the W-2s and 1099s
it receives with the income
reported on your return.
Travel and entertainment
deductions. Traditionally, this is
a prime audit target. IRS agents
pay extra attention to deduc-
tions for business use of vehicles.
Large charitable gifts. Its suspi-
cious if charitable deductions
are disproportionate to the
amount of your income.
Home-office deductions. Such
deductions are often claimed by
taxpayers who do some work at
home but dont otherwise quali-
fy for a home office.
Rental real estate losses. In
general, losses arent available
unless you actively participate
in the rental activity.
Cash businesses. If youre
usually paid in cash, the IRS is
more likely to peruse your
return.
Hobby losses. Generally, you
cant claim a loss from an activ-
ity thats merely a hobby, not a
bona fide business.
Foreign bank accounts.
The IRS is after taxpayers who
dont report income from off-
shore accounts.
Conversely, dont pass up
legitimate tax breaks on your
return. If youre uncertain, give
us a call for guidance.

I
have been a dentist since
1980, and motivating
patients to floss regularly is
still one of the hardest parts of
my job. Some
patients cant
reach all the
teeth, cant see
them, or are
unable to hold
floss properly
due to physical
ailments. Most
people, howev-
er, just get frus-
trated with the
amount of time and effort floss-
ing takes!
Unfortunately, tooth-
brushes alone are insufficient to
maintain healthy teeth and
gums. The brush bristles are too
thick to remove the trapped
food from those tight spaces
between your teeth where
decay can start. Dental floss is
one of the least expensive
hygiene inventions and cleans
out the byproducts of food that
cause irreversible gum problems
like periodontal disease.
The American Dental
Association has stressed the
importance of flossing for over
40 years, yet gum disease and
tooth decay are still two of the
most persistent health prob-
lems described by the Center
for Disease Control (CDC).
If you cant floss or simply
cant get motivated, Sonicare
came up with a unique inven-
tion called the Air Flosser. It
sprays water (and/or mouth-
wash) and air between your
teeth in short bursts. The Air
Flosser is compact, recharge-
able, easy to use, and feels like
an electric toothbrush handle.
We have been endorsing it at
my office as the second best
thing to flossing.
Visit our office for your
checkup, cleaning and X-rays,
and we will gladly demonstrate
this great new gadget!

D
o your dogs or cats
ears have an odor? Are
they scratching or
shaking their head? Is there
dirt-like material in the ears?
What could it be? What should
you do? This could be an ear
infection and you should seek
medical assistance from your
veterinarian before the condi-
tion worsens and becomes
painful. Ear infections are very
common. Based on data from
pet insurance companies, ear
infections are one of the top 10
reasons dogs and cats visit their
veterinarian.
Dogs and cats can have
ear infections or inflammation
of the ear canal for many differ-
ent reasons, such as allergies
(seasonal/environmental or
food), parasites (like ear mites),
foreign bodies (like plant
awns), endocrine diseases (like
underactive thyroids), ear
anatomy (like excess hair or
moisture), hereditary or
immune conditions, and
tumors.
Pets with allergies, either
to food or something they
inhale, often have ear prob-
lems. Allergies are typically the
most common cause of ear
infections that veterinarians
see. Sometimes these ear prob-
lems may be the first sign of an
allergy. The inflammation
from allergies changes the
environment within the ear,
which leads to secondary
infections with bacteria or
yeast. If we just treat the
infection, we are not getting
to the root of the problem. We
need to treat the allergies too
with diet trials, immunothera-
py, or medication.
Ear mites are a more com-
mon cause of ear problems in
cats than in dogs. The resultant
itching can be intense and may
be present elsewhere on the
body, not just the ears. When
ear discharge is seen, many
people will assume that their
pets ear infection is due to
ear mites. Ear mites dis-
charge has a distinctive black
coffee-ground appearance
whereas infectious discharge
is moister and ranges from
brown to yellow.
Other causes of ear infec-
tions include foreign bodies,
most notably plant awns. They
cause irritation, your pet
scratches, and before you know
it, they have an ear infection.
Certain endocrine diseases can
cause skin and ear problems
such as hypothyroidism and
Cushings disease. Certain dog
breeds with heavy, floppy ears
such as Cocker Spaniels
may be predisposed due to the
excess moisture that builds up
in their ears.
Because there are many
potential causes of ear prob-
lems, the next step is to visit
your veterinarian for a diagno-
sis. Your veterinarian will use
an otoscope to look down into
the ear canal. Swabs of the ear
can be taken (called an ear
cytology), and examined for
bacteria, yeast, and mites. If a
bacterial infection does not
respond to the first antibiotic
therapy, a culture and sensitivi-
ty may need to be performed. A
thorough history and physical
exam may help determine if
this could be a hormonal, aller-
gic, or hereditary problem and
further diagnostic testing
would be needed.
It is important to
visit your veterinarian
promptly for a diagno-
sis and treatment if
you suspect an ear
infection. If left unat-
tended, it can become
very painful, lead to
permanently narrow
canals, or an ear hematoma.
Ear hematomas most com-
monly occur when a dog or cat
shakes its head from an ear
infection, the ear hits the top
of their head, a blood vessel in
the ear ruptures, and the loose
space under the skin will fill
up with blood. They will have
a noticeably swollen, fluid-
filled ear that is extremely
painful to the touch. The
treatment of choice for ear
hematomas is surgery.
The key to healthy ears is
early treatment and preven-
tion. Check your pets ears
weekly. A slight amount of
waxy buildup may be present in
normal ears. If your dog swims a
lot, has pendulous ears, or a his-
tory of ear disease, routine
cleaning may be recommend-
ed. Excess hair around the ear
can be clipped by your groomer
to allow more air flow. Its also
important to treat any underly-
ing condition, like allergies;
otherwise, this condition will
likely recur.

re you ready to try
the hottest new
trend in fitness?
Piloxing is spreading like
wildfire throughout the
world. Originally from the
west coast, pilates, dance, and
boxing came together and
began as a fun fitness routine
designed by Viveca Jensen, a
professional Swedish dancer
and celebrity trainer. Piloxing
is an exciting workout that
keeps your heart rate up with
intense interval training
using Pilates and boxing to
give you a full body sculpting
Make 2013 the Year of Yoga at B FIT Studio!
session. While the class is
taught at a high pace, begin-
ners are able to keep up and
have fun with the fat torch-
ing, muscle sculpting, core-
centric, interval workout
designed to whip any partici-
pant into shape.
Piloxing also uses
weighted gloves as resistance
to the boxing and Pilates
moves. After just a few weeks
you will begin to notice ton-
ing in the arms and an
increase in your cardiovascu-
lar health. Dont let the signa-
ture pink branding in
Piloxing turn you awaythis is
a great workout and you will
sweat your way into shape!
Piloxing is for women AND
men. The guys that come in
tend to get even more beat up
by the piloxing sessions than
the women, says B Fit Studio
owner Ethel Baumberg.
At B Fit Studio, they
offer classic Piloxing classes
twice each week, while many
other classes include elements
of Piloxing. Members pack up
the studio on Wednesday
evenings and Saturday morn-
ings to punch, squat and
dance for a full 60 minutes.
Every class consists of 40 min-
utes of interval training and
20 minutes of floor work.
They always keep you on your
toes and push every member
to reach their potential. All
of B Fits instructors creative-
ly change up each class; our
members rave that none of
our classes are ever the same!
For more information about
Piloxing, visit B Fit Studio or
call (973) 303-2799.

T
he deck is the heart of a
backyard. Its where the
family gathers for din-
ner, the perfect spot for grilling,
a great place to hang out with
friends and the ideal location
for relaxing after a long day.
Whether youre thinking of
building a new deck or your old
one needs resurfacing, be sure
and choose the right decking
product: choose real wood.
Building a Deck. Think-
ing of building a brand new
deck? What a great way to
enhance your backyard!
According to the 2010-2011
Cost vs. Value Report from
Remodeling magazine, home-
owners can expect to recoup
72.8 percent (on average) of
the cost of building a wood
deck vs. only 66.2 percent if
building with composites. Deck
substructures are built using
pressure-treated wood anyway;
if its strong and durable enough
to hold up your deck, its strong
enough to actually be your
decking surface.
Pressure-treated wood is a
builder favorite and has been
the number one decking mate-
rial for decades. Its natural, real
and it looks fantastic.
Resurfacing a deck. If you
already have a wood deck but
its more than 20 years old, con-
sider a resurfacing project. This
is where the decking surface is
replaced, while the substructure
remains. (Its always a good idea
to have a decking professional
check the entire deck for
soundness.) Resurfacing is easy,
and its a great way to refresh
your outdoor living areas with-
out blowing your budget.
Maintaining a deck. Every
building material designed for
outdoor use requires mainte-
nance; luckily, real wood decks
are very easy to maintain. Once
a year, check your deck to see if
it needs cleaning or perhaps
another coat of sealant.
Perform the cup of water test: if
a cup of water poured on the
deck boards immediately soaks
into the wood, its time to apply
water repellant.
Why choose wood? Your
deck should mesh with your
backyard be sure your deck-
ing material is an extension of
nature, with all the beauty,
strength and durability youd
expect. Pressure-treated wood
is your most natural decking
option: its easy to find, easy to
use, requires no special tools,
and its affordable. Wood does-
nt conduct heat like other
decking materials can, mean-
ing no burned feet in the sum-
mertime. Treated wood is
impervious to rot and pests
and its proven to be people-
and pet-safe.
Concerned about our
forests? Choosing wood for any
home improvement project is a
very wise environmental deci-
sion. Thriving, sustainably
managed forests create a
healthier environment for all of
us. Choosing forest products
wood encourages US
landowners to keep replanting
trees; the forest industry plants
more trees than they harvest
every single year, ensuring
wood will be around for genera-
tions to come. Wood is one of
the only naturally renewable
building products available,
and the only energy required to
manufacture it comes from the
sun. You cant get much more
green than that.

ore and more homeowners embracing a relatively new
way to shower. Walk-in, or walk-behind, showers are
door-less structures that are designed to give the show-
er a more open look. Walk-in showers are often appear larger
than more traditional showers, and those that do take up more
space do so to prevent water from spraying around the room.
Though walk-in showers do not have doors, they do employ a
glass partition to keep water in. Walk-in showers often give a
bathroom a more modern look, but their role is more than aes-
thetic. In fact, many seniors find it is easier to get in and out of
a walk-in shower, something that could reduce their risk of
falling and suffering an injury.

ccording to TGB
Enterprises in Bur-
lington, Ontario, kit-
chen renovations are the most
popular home improvement
projects. Renovating a kit-
chen is a great way to increase
the value and also the func-
tionality of a home. The
National Kitchen & Bath
Associations latest market
report says that, in the first
three months of 2012, the
number of homeowners who
started a kitchen renovation
was up more than 50 percent
from the previous quarter. A
kitchen is a central gathering
place and is one of the most
popular family gathering spots
in the house. With traditional
dining rooms being eliminated
in favor of open, eat-in
kitchens and entertaining
spaces, more attention than
ever is now placed on a well-
designed kitchen. The average
remodeling budget for a
kitchen renovation exceeds
$30,000. But there are ways to
keep budgets in check.
Do some of the work yourself
to reduce money spent on
labor costs.
Consider laminate flooring
and counters, which will look
like real stone but at a fraction
of the cost.
Skip custom cabinetry in
lieu of stock units. Theyre
more attractive than ever
before and dont require the
wait time of custom-ordered
cabinets.
Choose less expensive, mid-
range appliances that may
function better than or equal
to high-end models.
Plan layout accurately and
spend time reviewing your
designs. Late changes in a
remodel can quickly eat up a
budget.

T
he residents of
Northern New Jersey
are excitedly watch-
ing the local topography
begin to change in the
Haskell section of Wanaque.
Located at the corner of 4th
and Boulevard, the Parkside
at Wanaque development is
beginning to grow before
their eyes.
Progress is happening
every day. This really is an
exciting time for us, said
Livia Deak, new construc-
tion manager for Century 21
Crest Real Estate, exclusive
agency to the development.
Roads are paved, founda-
tions are in and framing and
walls are going up on build-
ings one and two. Although
things are happening so fast,
when this article is printed
we will be even farther
along!
With 27 units already
spoken for, and only a few
units left at pre-construction
introductory prices, the
anticipation is mounting.
The sales center is all
abuzz now. The sales associ-
ates are excited as the build-
ings start to take shape. We
are seeing visitors to the sales
center who have stopped in
previously just browsing, but
now that the building has
begun, they are coming back
looking to reserve their
favorite units. I think they
are realizing the value they
are getting at Parkside, that
it really is unprecedented in
new construction anywhere
in Northern New Jersey, and
they want in!
Parkside at Wanaque
provides luxury living at
affordable prices to their pur-
chasers offering custom
kitchens with granite coun-
tertops, stainless kitchen
appliances, hardwood floor-
ing, carpeted bedrooms, and
unbelievable appliance and
lighting packages. The intro-
ductory pre-construction
prices begin at $169,000 for a
two-bedroom, one bath one-
level style, and $239,000 for
a two-bedroom, two-and-a-
half bath two-level town-
home style with one-car

Community welcomes Parkside at Wanaque development
I
f you are one of the many
homeowners who tried
unsuccessfully to sell your
real property in the last 12
months or who is considering
selling in the next three
months, please continue
reading.
The key to a successful
real estate transaction is fully
understanding where the
market is for your property
and choosing a wise course
based on your specific real
estate goals.
Here are three essential areas
to consider:
The first is to know the
market details on recent sales
in your community. Know the
inventory levels and monthly
rate of sales. What are the cur-
rent trends on inventory levels
and sales prices? What are the
median and average sale
prices?
The second is an unbi-
ased view of how your proper-
ty compares to those sold or
with which yours would be
competing. What are the
three properties most com-
petitive to yours? Are they
priced to the market or above
market? Having comprehen-
sive details is essential to
making a good decision on
how to position your proper-
ty to the available buyers in
your community.
The third area is how you
will market your property.
What are the benefits of
choosing a professional over
doing it yourself? Who can be
most effective in reaching tar-
geted buyers? In securing an
acceptable offer? What is the
level of time and energy you
are willing to expend in the
process of finding, securing
and closing a suitable buyer?
If you need information
in any of these areas, I invite
you to call me, Frank Abate,
anytime at 973-650-0149.
Why call me?
I have been a full-time
real estate agent in the North

When you want your home sold, excuses are not what you want to hear
T
he housing market has
not yet rebounded to
pre-recession prices,
when buyers seemed to be step-
ping over one another to bid up
the price of homes. Todays sell-
ers may be lucky to get asking
price, with the reality being a
certain percentage below.
However, that doesnt mean
sellers should accept bottom-of-
the-barrel offers. There are still
ways to get the best price possi-
ble on an offered home.
With sellers hoping to get
the most possible for a home
and buyers interested in spend-
ing the least, its sometimes a
battle of wills when it comes to
hashing out a confirmed price
in the world of real estate.
Sellers who wonder whether
theyll struggle to get a good
offer can hedge their bets in the
right direction by employing a
few strategies.
What you see is what you get:
Its difficult to change first
impressions. If a potential buyer
pulls up to a home that doesnt
give them warm and fuzzy
feelings immediately, it may be
hard to eventually sway opinion
of the home even if its pris-
tine on the inside. Individuals
do judge a book by its cover,
which means that effort should
be put into making a homes
exterior as appealing as possi-
ble. Landscaping should be neat
and lush. There shouldnt be
any obstacles leading to the
front of the home. Items that
look in disrepair should be
mended. Curb appeal does
matter.
Use a real estate agent: Many
people forgo this step, thinking
they can sell their home just as
well without an agent and not
have to pay commission in the
process. A real estate agent is
schooled in the process of
negotiating the price of an
offered home. In fact, the more
a homes selling price, the high-
er the agents profit. Thats
incentive right there.
Furthermore, agents know the
average prices of similar homes
and can help a seller price and
market a property correctly.
That may add up to a faster sale
(and a better offer).
Price it competitively: Some
sellers think the higher the
price their home the more
money theyll get for it. The
Jersey area for over 30 years. I
know what to do and I work
hard to get things done. I stand
behind my work with a guaran-
tee of service to those serious
about getting their property
sold quickly at fair market
price. Because I value my repu-
tation and rely heavily on
repeat customers, I wont agree
to be hired if I feel I cant meet
your expectations. For those
who do hire me, I stand 100
percent behind my commit-
ment to help you in your real
estate matter and offer an easy
release to anyone who believes
I am not performing as they
expected. In other words, No
excuses!
Ask me about my guaran-
tee to have an accepted buyer
on your property in 30 days or
less!

revealed that students who par-
ticipate in co curricular activi-
ties are three times more likely
to have a grade point average of
3.0 or better than students who
do not participate in co curric-
ular activities. In a 2003 study
published in Sociology of
Education, researchers found
that there are positive associa-
tions between extracurricular
participation and academic
achievement. Many adoles-
cents who participate in
extracurricular activities report
higher grades, more positive
attitudes toward school and
higher academic aspirations.
Extracurricular activities
also may be able to correct
behaviors associated with
boisterous children or those
who have been diagnosed
with a clinical medical condi-
tion, such as ADHD. In a
study titled, The Effects of
Mixed Martial Arts on
Behavior of Male Children
with Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder,
researchers found that a mar-
tial arts program two times per
week helped increase the per-
centage of completed home-
work, frequency of following
specific classroom rules,
improved academic perform-
ance and improved classroom
preparation of male children
ages 8 to 11 with ADHD.
There is also evidence
that simple physical activity
can promote better opportuni-
ties for learning. Studies large-
ly conducted by the California
Department of Education
have found a correlation
between physical activity and
increased performance. Phy-
sically active youths tend to
show improved attributes such
as increased brain function
and nourishment, higher
energy/concentration levels,
increased self-esteem, and bet-
ter behavior, each of which
can help a student perform
better in the classroom.
Beyond this, there are
many ways that extracurricular
activities can support improve-
ments in the classroom.
Most activities promote phys-
ical stamina and patience.
Students develop self-esteem
and good relationships.
Students are able to apply
theories learned in the class-
room in a real-world context.
A healthy measure of compe-
tition is developed.
Students learn to value team-
work and achieve a goal
through common values.
Children are able to exert
energy in a constructive way.
Extracurricular promotes
good attendance and participa-
tion in order to excel.
Students learn self-motiva-
tion.
Students can realize success
that is not measured by test
scores.
Many extracurricular activi-
ties have a basis in rules that
can keep students in check.
Students participate in a
social setting, learning through
activities that they truly enjoy.
Extracurricular activities
can lead to improved test scores
and better behavior in the
classroom. This makes the
activities attractive to parents
of students hoping to mold
well-rounded children.
Its important to note
that, in some instances, too
much of a good thing may be
detrimental. If a student is so
busy with a packed schedule of
extracurricular activities, he or
she may actually fall behind in
school work. Therefore, its
vital to keep a balance so that
students can successfully man-
age what goes on inside of
school and outside of school.
Extracurricular could help improve school performance
fact is, the longer an overpriced
home sits on the market, the
less appealing it will appear to
buyers. Individuals looking for
a home may repeatedly see the
listing and wonder whats
wrong with the home. Even if
its the best home in the neigh-
borhood, it may be seen as a red
flag thats best avoided.
Give people what they want:
Buyers often prefer updated
kitchens and bathrooms. Most
buyers out there are not look-
ing for handyman specials.
They want a relatively turn-key
property. A kitchen or bath-
room that is an eyesore can
repel potential buyers. Home
shoppers may be more inclined
to go closer to asking price if
some of the bigger-ticket items
are already completed.
Dont be an open book: If a
buyer knows that time is of the
essence or the home is priced
to sell, he or she may sense
that desperation, almost guar-
anteeing a low-ball offer.
Sellers shouldnt let on too
much about their reasons for
selling or make it seem like
theyll be in dire straits if the
home doesnt sell quickly.
Selling a home under duress is
not likely to cause prospective
buyers to pony up.
Dont be afraid to counter-
offer: A buyer who is excited to
get an offer on a home in a slow
market, but feels the offer is
below value, should definitely
counter-offer. While the buyer
may not accept the counter, he
or she may make another offer
that is more to the sellers liking.
