Married and House Hunting: Buying a House That Works for You Both
At Haring Realty, our REALTORS® know house hunting has its share of ups and downs.
If you're buying a house as a couple, it's important to understand your needs and expectations so you can come to a choice as a couple. Some compromise is expected, but choosing a home over one partner's objections can lead to problems down the line.
On the other hand, a home you both love will only make your bond stronger.
Here's how you can do it:

Just Moved to Ashland: 8 Ways to Meet Your New Neighbors
Our REALTORS® know a lot about the neighborhoods they serve, but one thing they can't do is help you meet the neighbors. Getting to know your neighbors is a good way to get connected in your new community, and it helps you feel settled and more at home.

Here's how to get your relationship off to a good start.

Your Checklist for Spring 2019 Home Maintenance
With Spring just around the corner (and we promise it really is), you may be eyeing those cobwebs on the ceiling and the dust bunnies along the baseboards. As you tackle that Spring cleaning list, don't forget your home's maintenance list, especially if yours is a Mansfield home for sale.
Our REALTORS® suggest checking through these key areas of your property, top to bottom:
- Roof and Gutters
Spring is a good time to clean the roof and check for missing shingles, rust or cracking, and of course, any leaking. Sometimes simply hammering the wayward shingle down and applying some caulk is enough, and sometimes you might need to call a professional. If you can't get on the roof yourself, using a pair of binoculars can get you started with your inspection.
At the same time you're giving the roof some attention, look over the gutters too. Clean out any leaves or debris. Look for leaks here also, as well as any place the gutters or downspouts may have pulled away from the house. Again, the caulk gun may be all you need to shore up the problem.

Mansfield Historic Landmarks: Renaissance Theatre
Nicknamed the Heart of Ohio for good reason, Mansfield is a city teeming with Midwestern history and beauty. One local landmark, restored to its Roaring Twenties glory, has plenty of both: the Renaissance Theatre. While you're browsing Mansfield homes for sale, get to know the city and its neighborhoods a little better, starting with one of the landmarks that make our downtown district so special. Here's what you need to know about the Renaissance Theatre on Park Avenue.
Mansfield's Own Renaissance Theatre
Its Original Name was the Ohio Theater
The Renaissance Theatre started life as a majestic movie house called the Ohio Theater. A Clara Bow movie was the main attraction on opening night, and it thrived for its first two decades, hosting movie premieres and touring Broadway shows when it wasn't showing iconic films like The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca. In 1980, the Ohio Theater became the Renaissance Theatre, and the lights came back on after years of wear and tear. The theater still has its original seats and Grand Baroque design details, but other elements bring it into the 21st century, such as the hydraulic lift in the orchestra pit and the updated glass skywalk connecting the theater to the hotel next door.
