Are you thinking about moving to Reno, NV? Whether you’re a current or prospective entrepreneur, Reno is a fantastic location to run a business. The city and state boasts all kinds of wonderful opportunities for entrepreneurs. You’ll enjoy robust community support for small businesses, an educated workforce, and no shortage of local resources designed to help local businesses thrive. In a rocky economy, the value of launching a business in a supportive environment cannot be overstated.

If you’re not in a position to buy a home, renting is a great alternative, especially in Reno. The city has a variety of rental options at price points suited to various budgets. Look for homes in a neighborhood that fit the needs and wants of your family. 

Once you’ve chosen a few suitable areas, view online listings to find properties in your price range. Most online rental sites will allow you to filter your search results based on your desired number of bedrooms and bathrooms, so remember to take advantage of these tools! Consider working with us here at Clark Real Estate to find the best rentals in Reno.

How to Set Up a Home Office in Your Rental

11/10/2022

Comments

 
Are you ready to create a perfect home office in your new residence? Here’s how you can do it in a few simple steps.
An office desk
Whether you're just starting your own business or have been working from home for years, having a home office in your rental can make working from home more enjoyable. Whether you're renting an apartment or a house, these tips will help you get set up with the best possible working space.

Choose a good location
Once you've decided on the type of space that will work best for your home office, it's time to find the perfect spot. There are many factors to consider when choosing a location for your home office.
  • Find a quiet and private space away from other people or noises.
  • Ensure that you have adequate lighting to see what you're doing at all times.
  • Make sure there is space for everything. You'll need room for your computer, printer, and other equipment while working from home.

It's all about the lighting
When setting up your home office, it's all about the lighting. Once you find a new home and start furnishing it, you want to create an environment that is inviting and comfortable for you to work in. To do this, you need to keep in mind the following:
  • Natural light is best, but if natural light isn't available or practical, you can use artificial light sources instead.
  • Get indirect lighting because direct overhead lights can cause glare on your computer screen and make it hard for you to properly see what's on the screen.
  • Use dimmers to control how much light there is in your office space at any time of day or night. Dimmers are inexpensive yet invaluable additions that will help make sure everyone gets enough sleep at night.

Get creative with storage solutions
The first thing you should do is make sure your storage solutions are up to snuff. This can be challenging if you don't work from home full-time and just need the occasional space to work on some paperwork. But it doesn't have to be impossible. For example, if you have bookshelves at home already, consider using them as storage for your office supplies instead of in the living room where they usually go. It will save space and keep things organized.

Another thing you should consider is using a small table in your living room. It would make an excellent surface for storing paperwork or other materials that are easy to reach. If neither of these options works for you, try hanging a shoe rack from an unused wall; this is especially helpful if your rental unit has limited closet space. Finally, if all else fails, plenty of wall-mounted shelves are available online that can make bare walls look like they were meant specifically as storage spaces!

Invest in quality furniture
When setting up your new office, it's crucial to invest in good quality furniture that will last. You want to be able to enjoy your space for a long time! Before buying furniture for your home office, consider the following:
  • Comfort. Make sure the chair you choose is comfortable enough, so you don't have to shift around constantly while working. If possible, get one with wheels so it can easily move around when needed (for example, if you need more space).
  • Ergonomics. Your office should feel like a place where you want to work — not somewhere that causes pain or discomfort! Look at different ergonomic chairs and desks before buying anything to fit into your workspace well without causing strain on any joints or muscles (and make sure they're easy to clean as well).
  • Size of the room and storage (if needed). If you just moved into a new home, consider the size of your office room. If not all furniture can fit in it, you can always find rental storage. You should keep these costs in mind when moving to a new home. New furniture, renting storage, and hiring movers will be just some of the moving expenses to plan for.

Decorate with plants and other natural elements
For all of these reasons, it's important to decorate with plants and other natural elements. Plants can help improve air quality, reduce stress, purify the air, and save money on heating and cooling bills. On top of that, they can also help you cut down on your energy bill by providing shade from the sun and a break from the wind. This is particularly useful if your office doesn't have much ventilation.

The benefits of incorporating plants into your home office design don't stop there! They give off oxygen which helps keep us alert. And if you're a plant person like me, then it's nice having something green around too.

Choose a neutral color scheme for your walls
When renovating your new home, especially the home office, consider choosing a neutral color scheme for your walls. You want to choose a color that will go with anything and one you won't be tired of looking at years later. For example, some prefer bright colors like red or yellow in their home offices. Mainly because they feel more energized when they look at them. However, if these colors aren't your style or don't reflect your personality well enough, the room may not feel like yours.

It's better to choose something neutral, like white or light gray, so it can complement any decorating scheme without being overpowering or distracting from other elements in the room. However, if you have time to plan when you move into your apartment space (or even tap into your creative side), consider painting one wall as an accent color. This way, it won't detract from anything else in the room but adds another dimension for visual interest!

Final thoughts
We hope that these tips have helped you get started on creating your dream home office. Remember, there's no right or wrong way to do it! As long as you take the time to think through what kind of space best suits your needs and how you want it decorated, then any mistakes along the way will be easy enough to fix. Most importantly, you enjoy working in this space so much that it feels like home, even when you're not at home.

How to Overcome Challenges When Moving for Business

4/29/2022

Comments

 
If you’re thinking about moving, there are many things to keep in the back of your mind. We have advice in the following article.

We move for all sorts of reasons. But, for those of us moving for a job or a new business, we have things to think about beyond the number of bedrooms and bathrooms we need for our families. We must understand the home buying process and learn how to acclimate to an area that we may not have chosen otherwise.

Clark Real Estate is happy to share a post with information that can help you make your move every bit as successful as your business.


Understand the Process
Picture
 It’s always best to enlist the help of reputable real estate professionals like Clark Real Estate who are intimately familiar with the area you’re moving to, as they will be able to avoid any unforeseen pitfalls in the process.

Start by getting to know your credit score. A score of at least 620, coupled with a low debt-to-income ratio, will help you get a better interest rate on the home of your dreams. Yahoo.com explains that you also need to make sure that you have enough money for a down payment and to make trips back and forth if you wish to visit your new home before you settle in. If you’re looking to save some money, and find an “as is” property, which is a home or condominium that the seller will not make repairs to. This can be a great way to reduce your overall expenses, but you’ll need to pay close attention to land records and hire a property inspector and an attorney to help you through the process.

Know Your New Area

If you’re moving with business as your number one priority, you probably are already fully familiar with the professional environment or the market. However, there are other things to consider as you make a move. If you have yet to find a position in a new job, you’ll want to take care of a few essentials before getting your name out there. One such essential is creating a stellar and professional-looking resume by utilizing a free resume builder that can be found online. You can choose from a library of professionally designed resume templates, and then add your own copy, photos, colors, and images.

If you have kids, you’ll also want to research the school systems so you won’t run into any major snafus registering your children for classes. Also be aware of the housing market in the new area. The market in Northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe area is quite competitive, and the Reno-Sparks Association of Realtors notes that it continues to be a strong seller’s market, so you’ll want to hit the ground running when you begin shopping for your new home.

Get the Right Help

In addition to having a realtor, you’ll also want to partner with a great moving company. Make sure you get plenty of quotes, and let your moving company know that you’re moving out of the country. You may get lucky and find someone offering discounts or special credits for people willing to move during the off-season. You’ll also want to partner with a property surveyor, which is especially important if your new home is outside of the planned residential neighborhood.

Move Your Business

When you find the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood, it’s time to ensure that your business can move seamlessly with you. The requirements for registering for an LLC varies state by state, so be sure to see what’s needed in Nevada. You can save on attorney fees by using a formation service online. You also want to make sure to update all of your contact information and, if applicable, physical location on your website and social media.

Moving for a job is exciting. After all, that’s one good indication that you’re experiencing growth and forward momentum. However, there are many moving parts throughout the process, especially when your relocation takes you across state or country lines. The above info is great insight to have, but don’t forget to partner with experts that can keep you in check throughout the process.
