The first thing thatmost of us think of isthe adage... "location,location, location".While that is certainlyvery critical, there aremany other things toconsider when buyingreal estate. Here aresome universal guide-lines.
• How long youintend to stay in ahome. This is animportant question toconsider because mov-ing is quite expensive.If you're in a tempo-rary job and may soonbe relocating to anoth-er city or even state,renting rather thanowning might be a bet-ter option.
While none of usentirely knows howour future will play out,understanding howlong you expect to stayin your home allowsyou the chance todecide how large ahome you want. Ifyou're a young couple,
a home that is able togrow with you mightbe appealing.
Whether you're buy-ing a home to live in oras a rental, the nextseries of tips can helpin either circumstance.What makes a homemore comfortable toits owners can alsomake it more attractiveto renters.
• Job market. It'salways a good idea tocheck the U.S. Bureauof Labor Statistics tosee how the employ-ment is in an area thatyou are consideringpurchasing a home.Areas with lowerunemployment, ofcourse, are mostattractive. The greaterthe demand for jobs inan area, the more like-ly home prices are togo up.
• Check area vacan-cies. This may notseem that important ifyou're planning to livein the home but actu-ally this is a good thingto know even if youdon't rent your home.If there are lots of
vacancies compared tosurrounding areas,there could be a slow-ing in the market. Ifyou're planning to rentthe home, you'll wantto make sure that youhave enough savingsto cover expenses anytime when your home
sits vacant. If the mar-ket is slowing, therecould be a period ofseveral months beforeyou get a quality ten-ant in place. Being pre-pared will ease thestress.

police. Crime in an areaisn't always detectableright away from a fewvisits to your potentialhome. Do a little dig-ging. Ask questions.Investigate the neigh-borhood. Some areasmay look okay but mayhave a high crime rate.It's best to understandthe neighborhood youmight soon call home.
• Natural disasters.Believe it or not, somepeople like a home somuch that they disre-gard the natural disas-ters in the area. Thisisn't to say that buyersshould say, "Well, Ican't buy a home inCalifornia becausethey have occasionalearthquakes." Rather,some buyers are will-ing to gamble big time.For instance, they arewilling to buy homesthat are located on
unstable cliffs wherethe cliffs are erodingyear after year.Insurance... if youcan get it... will cer-tainly be higher. Nat-ural disaster-proneareas such as floodzones may requireadditional insuranceand a strong stom-ach to endure thestress.
Ultimately, what to
look for when buyingreal estate is aboutconsidering the thingsthat will matter not justin this moment but inthe years to come.Having a good strongfoundation beneathyour home and a safeneighborhood are keycomponents to creat-ing a happy homeown-ership and goodinvestment.

In the real estate indus-try, convenience is a neces-sity: a means by which ten-ants, both residential andcommercial, have a chanceto enjoy a variety of benefits.To date, those advantagesinclude concierge services,wireless Internet, businesssuites, lifestyle amenitiesand transportation.
And, while these featuresare significant and allowbuilding owners and man-agers to distinguish them-selves in a challengingeconomy, there is anotherfar more practical offeringevery property should pro-vide. That strength involvesa safe and odorless way todispose of trash, the piles ofgarbage that fill dumpstersand bins for multi-familyapartment complexes, cor-porate campuses and otherdestinations.
This simple task - finding
a way to guard against thescents of daily life - makescommon sense; it is anaffordable and much appre-ciated solution to a typicalproblem, combating theodors that may otherwisepervade a building, home oroffice. For, without a safeand reliable means of over-coming this challenge,property owners and man-agers risk losing tenants,compromising their reputa-tion and creating a mess --literally and figuratively.
I offer this commentarybased on my own experi-ence as the founder ofOdorNoTM, which devel-ops disposable bags to pro-tect against the smells asso-ciated with things likeincontinence products,baby diapers, pet waste,garbage, industrial trashand other unpleasantfumes. This safe and effec-tive solution, which is freeof harsh chemicals and theadditives found in otheritems, comes at a timewhen every feature - eventhe most ordinary or seem-ingly mundane - is an oppor-tunity to attract new clientsand tenants. In fact, elimi-nating the smells of every-day life - particularly forcompanies located in areasthat may be within closeproximity to industrial facil-ities or manufacturingplants - is a major sellingpoint. Remember: buildingmanagers want to equiptenants with all theresources necessary to besuccessful. That principleextends to trash bags thatare safe, effective and free ofthe perfumes that are oftenjust as foul as the contentsthemselves.
This issue is also impor-tant because real estate bro-
kers and agents want towork with companies witha conscience. That is, realestate is about more thanthis or that transaction; it is,instead, about partneringwith credible brands thatoffer products and servicesthat have practical advan-tages, the sort of featuresthat appeal to a diversearray of consumers, execu-tives and workers alike. Ful-filling that mission shouldbe a priority for all indus-tries, but it is an obviousrequirement for realtorswho represent both land-lords and tenants. Simplystated, these conveniences- the things we take forgranted on a daily basis -can make a home or work-place more inviting, com-fortable and, well, odor-free.
Supplying residential andcommercial properties for asmart alternative to han-dling and removing trash isan easy - and affordable -way to transform a placeinto a haven for, respective-ly, productivity and relax-ation. In fact, these comforts- the proverbial small thingsthat make a big difference -are the chief reasonprospective tenants or buy-ers may choose one prop-erty over another. Bear inmind that every accessory -yes, even new trash bags -can equip a building withthe features that are in linewith good stewardship andthe environment.
These attributes are acompelling transformationfor business in general andthe real estate industry inparticular. Together, we canmake properties hubs ofproductivity and success.The future is promising,indeed.
