    Spring is here, and with the change in weather and the beauty of the great outdoors calling you, the urge to be out and about is irresistible. But before you go enjoying the wonderful outdoors, there is that sometimes dreaded chore that inevitably must be tackled: Spring Cleaning! If you're feeling overwhelmed and wondering where to start, check out a few tips to make things a breeze!

     

     

    Decluttering is Key

    Take a good look at the things you currently have at home and start with de-cluttering your space. If you can, use markers (like colored tape or Post-Its) to label items for "keeping", "storing",  and "trash". This will make it easier for you to sort things out in boxes later on. Placing all the items in specific piles or in a designated area also makes it easier for you to see and visualize how you would like your space to look like after cleaning is done.

     

     

     

    Set Small Goals

    There's no hard and fast rule that says all your spring cleaning needs to be done in a day or two. If you're busy with work, kids, or both, partition your tasks to adjust to the time that you can spare. Only have a few hours per week? Tackle your cleaning room by room. Doing it one room at a time will help keep you focused and ensure that you give things a thorough clean. Better yet, enlist the help of your kids or partner to make things move along faster.

     

     

     

    Check Your Supplies

    Prepare a basic checklist of the things that you will need to prepare for cleaning and make sure you have them readily available. The most frequently used supplies are cleaners (all-purpose, glass, carpet), rubber gloves, cloth dusters, and disinfectants. Put them together in a portable caddy so that you can tote them as you go. Other supplies you might want to consider are easy to prepare meals for you and your helpers (to minimize long breaks in the middle of cleaning), trash bags for sorting and throwing away, packing tape, storage bins, and of course some energetic music to get you in the right mood.

     

     

     

    Mind Your Fridge

    While you're doing your cleaning, don't forget to address your fridge. You might be diligent enough to check and chuck expired items religiously, but there might be condiments and other "back of the shelf" items you may have forgotten about. Take everything out, give the shelves (and the containers) a little spray with water and a little vinegar, then wipe everything down. While you're at it,  now is a good time to organize the fridge. Place easily perishable items in the middle shelf, bottom drawers are great for fruits and vegetables, and condiments can be placed in the door.

     

     

     

    The Final Touch

    Once you're done with cleaning your home from top to bottom, finish up with a little personal touch to make the place pop out. Replace your beddings and linens, spray or plug-in air fresheners for that extra clean scent, and place accents of color in each room. Finally, decorate a little with flowers or plants, a new vase or knickknack, or even a couple of family portraits. And congratulate yourself for a job well done.

    I'm Susana Murphy, and I founded ALANTE with a clear vision and a passion for redefining what real estate should be. Let me share with you why ALANTE exists, what we stand for, and what we aim to offer both our valued clients and our dedicated agents. ALANTE Real Estate wasn't just a business venture for me—it was a calling born out of a deep-seated belief in doing things differently, and doing them better. Having been in the real estate industry since 2005 myself as a top producing Realtor, I saw firsthand the immense potential for innovation and improvement. I recognized that traditional practices were falling short in meeting the evolving needs of clients and agents alike. My vision for ALANTE was simple yet profound: to elevate the real estate experience by combining cutting-edge technology combined with story driven marketing and timeless values. In an industry often defined by transactions, I wanted to focus on service. I wanted to create a space where clients felt heard, valued, and supported every step of the way, and where agents could thrive in an environment that prioritizes collaboration, growth, support and integrity. At ALANTE, we believe in offering our clients more than just transactions—we offer them transformative experiences. We understand that buying or selling a home is not just a financial decision; it's an emotional journey filled with dreams, aspirations, and life-changing moments. That's why we approach each interaction with empathy, expertise, and a genuine desire to exceed expectations. For our agents, ALANTE is more than just a brokerage—it's a community of like-minded professionals committed to excellence. We provide our agents with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed, all while fostering a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and continuous learning. We believe that empowered agents create exceptional experiences for our clients, and that belief is at the core of everything we do. In an industry that's constantly evolving, we remain steadfast in our commitment to innovation and adaptability. We embrace technology not as a replacement for human connection, but as a catalyst for enhancing it. From advanced marketing strategies to streamlined processes, we leverage technology to enhance efficiency, transparency, and results. We don't just meet industry standards—we set new ones. We believe in raising the bar and redefining what it means to be a leader in real estate. Our dedication to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction sets us apart, and it's what drives us to continually push boundaries and exceed expectations. So, whether you're a client looking for a personalized, unparalleled real estate experience or an agent seeking a supportive, forward-thinking brokerage, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Together, we're not just reimagining real estate—we're elevating it to new heights. Welcome to ALANTE Real Estate, where your vision meets our passion.
