8 Fireplace Tips to Keep Your Ohio Home Safe this Winter
Winter in Ohio is in full bloom. There is nothing quite as cozy as a crackling fire in the fireplace of your Mansfield home. However, the last thing any homeowner wants is for disaster to strike, potentially damaging their home and putting loved ones in danger. Understanding and practicing fireplace safety is crucial in ensuring that your house and family are safe. Our REALTORS® offer these eight tips to keep your fireplace in tip-top shape and protect our family.
- Get Your Fireplace Ready
Before you light the first fire of the season, have your chimney and fireplace inspected and cleaned by a professional. Flues should be intact, and the dampers are operating correctly. Any buildup of dangerous residues including soot, creosote and glaze should be removed as they can seriously increase the risk of a chimney fire.

Here's How You Can Afford to Buy a Home in Ohio in 2019
Do you dream of buying one of our local Mansfield homes for sale, but think there's no viable way to afford it? Think again! 2019 can be your year to purchase a house! Gathering the right information, taking advantage of multiple resources and making friends with your budget are the critical ingredients for taking that life-changing step. With a bit of planning and effort before you begin searching, buying a home may not be easier than you ever imagined.
- Understand What You Can Afford
Now is the time to create a home buying budget, and in doing so, you'll know what you can afford in relation to where you want to purchase. In addition to the actual mortgage payment, you'll need to plan for the down payment, closing costs, taxes and insurance, and the likelihood of higher energy and maintenance expenses. That being said, in many cities, monthly rental rates are at or above what you will pay for a mortgage payment. One of the best ways to determine your home buying budget is to talk to a lender and get pre-approved for a mortgage. Knowing what you can afford will allow you to build your budget around what you're expecting to spend on your home.

What Is Your Home's New Year's Resolution?
A new year means a new beginning, and maybe this year is time to try something a little different. Instead of the usual New Year's resolutions we make for ourselves – losing weight, kicking a bad habit – how about making a few resolutions for your house?
With a new year about to begin, now is the perfect time to think about how you want to make your house better in the future. Maybe you want to protect it from the elements, update some features, or finally tackle that DIY project you've been putting off. In any case, these are a few resolutions our REALTORS® recommend considering for your list!
- Budget for Home Improvements
Tackling DIY projects can be daunting, especially from a financial perspective. A great way to deal with the costs of home improvements is to lay out your budget at the beginning of the year, including a list of what you want to improve, how much it will cost, and how you will set aside the necessary funds. This will prevent overspending, and also give you extra motivation to get the job done.

Lexington Living: Pay a Visit to Laxton Hollow Works this Winter
Craft beer fans have a big reason to love Richland County. Laxton Hollow Brewing Works, which opened its doors in the village of Lexington, Ohio in 2016, brews and serves a class of authentic ales that are almost impossible to find anywhere else in the United States. When you're in the area touring Lexington homes for sale, we highly recommend paying Laxton Hollow Brewing Works a visit.
Lexington's Unique Drinking Experience
You might not know it, but ales that are brewed using traditional methods are extraordinarily rare in America. In fact, there's a good chance you've never had one. But with such a tremendous boom in craft brewing in recent years, how can it be that this style of beer is so hard to come by?
