Junk Removal for Chico Realtors

The state of California’s economy is as large as some small county’s entire economy. That’s why when the nation takes a hit, we’re sure to feel the impact even more severely. Of course, the reverse is also true. When there are signs of an economic comeback, California often leads the charge. Take for instance the foreclosure rates. Here in California those numbers were at an all time five year low between July and September. That means that the housing market is coming back in a big way.

“We started out a few years ago with over 400 homes and now we are at the 250K range of homes available for purchase. So that really drives the sale price up,” Real Estate Agent Lisa Bristow said to a local interviewer.

Drilling down into the numbers finds that Chico real estate agents have been seen a positive uptick in their business lately. That’s because they’ve sold about 150 more homes in the Chico area this year, compared with the same time last year. Overall there are fewer homes on the market which is not only driving prices up but also forcing realtors to be even more competitive. This is when they have to use their imagination to see all the possibilities of a potential property.

Realtors already know the benefit of staging a home but before it can even get to that phase, that same home might need a major cleanup. In extreme cases, a home on the market could be in wonderful condition but it’s the home next door that really needs the cleanup. With a small investment, a real estate agent can partner up with Junk King Gold Country to clean up any property and return it to its previous saleable condition.

Junk King is often hired by homeowners for “selective”  junk removal. This means those residents have a few oversized items they are eager to get rid of. That could be anything from old sofas to patio furniture to a hot tub. Usually there are a few other odds and ends tossed onto the Junk King to go along with the big item. However, with a real estate cleanup, Junk King can be given the simple instructions to “take it all away.” That’s a job they are happy to comply with. In many ways it’s a lot easier not to be selective with junk!

Not only can a Junk King Gold country crew clean up the interior of a home but they can also make sure all the debris is removed from the yards. This is where you can offer the help of Junk King for those neighborhood properties that might have some “eyesores” piled up on the lawns. You don’t want anything to distract from your sale and offering to clean up someone’s yard without them lifting a finger might be too good to pass up. Let Junk King be your new partner to take your real estate business to the next level of success!

Chico Air Conditioner Disposal

An air conditioner is a lot like a piano: Once you get it you’re almost always stuck with it. This is because the typical AC is such a bulky and heavy item it’s hard to move around let alone throw away in the garbage. There was a time not too long ago when televisions were heavy objects too but that has all changed thanks to modern design improvements. No such luck with the air conditioner. It’s always going to weight a ton and you’ll always need two people to get it in and out of a window. So, what to do if you want to get rid of your old clunky AC?  Simple: call Junk King Gold Country.

Junk King’s goal is to help you get rid of the stuff you can’t throw out in the weekly garbage pickup. Your old air conditioner would certainly qualify. If you were to do a little research you might find that there are plenty of drop-off centers that can insure that you’re air conditioner will be properly disposed of. That’s important because there are a lot of elements in an AC that could be deemed hazardous if they are left to “leak out.”

The real problem with those drop-off centers is that you have to do all the work. You need to get someone to help remove the AC from your window, carry it out of your home or apartment and then load it into your car. Hopefully, you have a big enough trunk otherwise you’re in real trouble. With Junk King Gold Country you won’t have to worry about any of that. The Junk King crew will do all the heavy lifting. You just have to point to the window and tell them to “Take it out!”

Along with your AC, this could be the perfect opportunity to get rid of some other bulky items you might be holding onto. Maybe you’ve got an old sofa or mattress in need of disposal. Perhaps it’s something even bigger like a stove or fridge. Once again, Junk King can come to the rescue and make sure those pieces are disposed of properly.

There are many recycling centers around Chico and each one serves a different function. Junk King knows who does what. If they need to make drop-offs at several locations that won’t matter to them. It’s all part of the job and part of the price. You’ll only be charged for the amount of space your junk takes up on their truck not how many stops they have to make or hold long they’ll be in traffic. This makes working with Junk King one of the best bargains in Chico. What do you have to get rid of? Call Junk King and say goodbye to your junk today!

Chico, California Foreclosure Clean Out

There is a proverbial “green shoot” with regards to financial news in the state of California. That would be in the fact that foreclosures have continued to drop throughout the region. In the Chico area foreclosures decreased during the month of December by around 2%. This makes the Chico foreclosure rates lower than the national average. That’s certainly good news for many residents who have found a way to stay in their homes even in these troubled economic times. But that doesn’t mean that everyone is out of the woods. There are still plenty of foreclosed properties waiting to be scooped up by savvy real estate investors.

There is a type of real estate investor that will swoop into community and buy properties almost at random. They don’t really care about the neighborhood as much as they care about getting a hold of properties much like you would in playing a game of Monopoly. They would then either flip those homes or use them as rental properties. Often these types of investors are buying up several properties at once. This can be accomplished with deep pockets at a foreclosure auction.

When a bank forecloses on a property they will do everything within their power to get rid of that asset as quickly as possible because it’s a drag on their own financial well-being. If that foreclosed home isn’t sold quickly it will be put up for auction along with many other properties. There’s a certain amount of skill involved in being successful at an auction. If you’re thinking about buying a foreclosed property you might be in a better position to research that property outside of the auction experience so that you can gain a better perspective of just what you’re buying into.

While it is true that first impressions matter they can also be deceiving. This might be the case when you are stepping inside a potential foreclosed home. As far as the bank is concerned you’re going to be buying this home for the price they state and in whatever condition it happens to be in at that moment. They don’t really care who buys it as long as it gets sold. When you open the door that foreclosed home for your first tour you could become overwhelmed at all the garbage and junk that has been left behind by the previous occupant. It could be that the occupant had to vacate the premises in a hurry and didn’t have a chance take everything with them. It’s a more likely scenario that the stuff left behind are those things they don’t even care about. In other words it’s all garbage.

As with any type of garbage that junk can be easily removed. When you need bulk items taken away from a foreclosed property then you should be hiring professional junk haulers like Junk King Gold Country who are well versed in this type of project. There are some people who would get turned off by junk left behind and think that the home is really a trash heap. They would be missing out on big opportunity especially when you consider how easy it is to clean out a foreclosed home with professional junk haulers!

Chico, CA Refrigerator Buying & Disposal Guide

If you’re in the market for a new refrigerator it probably means that you’re shopping for this type of appliance for the first time in several years. A good refrigerator should be able to last anywhere between 5 to 8 years with proper upkeep. A lot has changed in the refrigerator market since the last time you went shopping for one.

One of the first thing you might notice is that thanks to the Energy Star program refrigerators now have to be at least 20% more energy-efficient than the minimum standards set by the federal government. In some cases that energy efficiency goes even lower which means you’ll start saving money on your electric bill the moment you plug in your new refrigerator.

Shopping for a new refrigerator will have you looking through various types and model designs. The most common are the top freezer refrigerators. The average width of these types of fridges ranges between 30 to 33 inches with a storage capacity of around 22 cubic feet. These models do offer the most storage for this size. Its wide shelves allow for easy reach into the back and they are the most affordable. The bottom freezer refrigerators literally flip this design model. The big plus with this type of refrigerator is that it puts the food that you most often use at eye level. These models also come with a French door configuration and can also have a freezer drawer between the fridge and freezer compartments.

A side-by-side refrigerator splits the unit down a vertical line with the freezer on one side and regular food storage on the other. A big plus with this type of design is that you can get built-in ice and water dispenser. One drawback however is that the freezer side is often a tight squeeze for something like a frozen pizza.

If you are remodeling your kitchen from top to bottom you might consider a built-in refrigerator or cabinet depth refrigerator. These are models that fit snuggly right within your cabinet wall. The size of the refrigerator you’ll purchase will depend on the opening you make for it in your kitchen. In other words, these types of refrigerators are going to fit snug into your cabinet wall with very little space on either side. There are even some new models of kitchens which have refrigerator drawers as opposed to a standup unit but these are very limiting in storage capacity.

As you settle on your new pick for a fridge you need to make arrangements to have your old model disposed of. This can be accomplished when you hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Gold Country, who have the right amount of manpower and truck space to handle this task. These same Gold Country junk hauling pros can also get rid of any other bulky items you might be hanging onto that you’re ready to toss out. You should be able to coordinate the schedule to have your old refrigerator removed hours before the new one arrives. Just make sure you have a cooler handy to keep your food safe during the transition.

Chico Old TV Disposal & Buying Options

Are you in the market for a new TV? If so you’re going to have a lot of options to pick from. It was just a couple of years ago when high end television sets such as plasma or flat screens were too expensive a proposition for most people to enjoy. Those days are gone as the competitive marketplace has driven prices down. Not only can you find a great bargain on a high-end TV but you might just be surprised at all the other bells and whistles that come along with that premium television set.

What you’ll first have to choose is the type of display you want for your new television. Your basic choices are plasma or LCD. The plasma TVs are classified as emissive displays because the panel is actually self lighting. From the technical standpoint the plasma causes the pixels of a television picture to glow which creates the TV image. On the other hand, LCD TVs are referred to as transmissive because the light is created by a separate source or bulb that shines through the display. Both the plasma and an LCD TV will typically be a flat screen meeting they will be as fit as a painting hung on a wall their frame.

While LCD or plasma are your options for display you also have options on which type of signal you’ll receive whether that is standard digital or high definition. Right now all TV signals are delivered digitally. How your TV set interprets that signal will mean the difference between standard or high definition. It all comes down to a matter of how many lines of picture your TV will have. If you could look at your television microscopically you might discover that on a standard television there are 480 horizontal lines while a high definition TV could have as much as 1080 horizontal lines. Obviously the more lines of picture the more detailed picture clarity you’ll have.

Because of these digital signals you also have the opportunity to have picture in picture display which allows you to watch two programs at once on the same screen. Widescreen TVs have a larger aspect ratio then a standard TV which makes watching movies playback on Blu-ray or DVD much closer to an actual theater experience. You’ll also want to be on the lookout for the plug-in capabilities of your new TV. The best option for receiving a signal either through a Blu-Ray player or your digital receiver is through HDMI hookups. This will give you the sharpest picture possible but not every television has those plug-ins.

While you are considering all the possibilities for new television set don’t forget you need to get rid of that old one first. This is not something you’ll be able to chuck out with the rest of the garbage. A television set is considered electronic waste it has to be disposed of properly. This is when you might have to call in a professional hauling team like Junk King Gold Country to take away your old TV set. While they’re at it they can also get rid of a lot more junk that you might have lying around the home that is also too big for the garbage can. As long as you’re getting a new TV you might also want a new sofa! Get rid of all that junk in one trip and make room for the new box!

Chico Junk Hauling – Go with the Pros

Whether you are a homeowner or a business owner you should already recognize the need to deal with professionals when it comes to maintaining your property. While it might seem like a good idea in the short run to hire an amateur to do some painting or general repair, if that worker isn’t properly trained or certified it could come back to haunt you. If you’ve ever had to pay for a redo of a job then you are already familiar with the concept of “getting what you pay for.” Just as you would only go to a professional Doctor or dentist for your personal health needs you should also only be working with professionals in whatever type of maintenance project you require.
Business owners already embrace the concept of using professionals because of their eye towards the bottom line. They don’t want to waste money on a repair project or construction job if it’s not going to be done right in the first place. Once a business has developed a relationship with a professional they tend to stick with that professional for the long haul. This holds true with electricians, general contractors, painters and plumbers. As a homeowner you should be thinking along the same lines when it comes to hiring any type of worker for a project.
If you’re new to a neighborhood and are looking for a local plumber or other maintenance man you might ask your neighbor for a recommendation. This recommendation should be with someone who is a professional. In other words, they should make their living doing the job you’re asking them to do as opposed to a weekend DIY type of person. Most professional workers build their business on the reputation of their work. This holds true for pretty much any profession. One area where you might not think being a professional matters is with junk hauling. However, this is one job where you absolutely need to hire a professional to make sure it gets done right.
A professional Chico junk hauling company is someone who has been in the business long enough to know the techniques of moving large and bulky items. They should also have the proper equipment in the form of a big enough truck to haul away piles of junk. Additionally, they need to know where to dispose of that junk whether that’s in the local landfill or at a recycling center. All of that adds up to a working professional who is in the field of junk removal.
All of this comes back to the philosophy of getting the job done right. Professional junk haulers like Junk King Gold Country will be licensed and insured much in the same way that professional plumbers and electricians are. This means you won’t have to worry about who you’re inviting into your home do work. Not only do they have to answer to you but they also have to answer to their own boss. Bottom line: always go with the pros!

Chico Junk Removal – Prepare for the Holidays

The holidays are great time to reconnect with old friends and family. They are also the perfect time of the year to share your blessings. While it might seem like you’re becoming overwhelmed with charities, take it all in stride. Just like retailers, charities count on this time of the year to help them through the slow months ahead.
One charity function that everyone has a great time at is the annual Red, White and Blue Christmas dinner that has been set up to benefit the local Chico families of deployed National Guard soldiers. While those soldiers are serving their country, their families often struggle to get by. That is why an event like this is so important. Not only will money be raised with the dinner but also with the silent auction.  A silent auction is where items are put up for bidding but instead of the classic auctioneer, you can write out your bid on a card. The highest bidder still wins.
Now, you might be thinking of donating some items around your home for the silent auction or to other charities and that’s a good thing. However, there is a distinction between items worthy of an auction versus just plain junk. If you’re looking to get rid of the junk, then you should look no further than Junk King Gold Country, who provides the top Chico Junk Removal services.

There are some folks who have a room dedicated in their homes just for storage. It would make a lot more sense to use that room for guests than junk. The Junk King Chico crew can help with that.
As you climb up to the attic to bring down the Christmas decorations, you might be confronted with mounds of junk you’ve been waiting to get rid of. Why wait any longer?
