With cooler weather, spice, pumpkins, and everything scary popping up in stores, Halloween is just around the corner. It's always fun to see the excitement little ones show when they don fun costumes, knock on your door, and yell trick or treat! However, this fun-filled night can turn into a disaster if your home isn't prepared for visitors. To prevent accidents or injuries, it's important to prepare your front yard and porch for the arrival of any neighborhood witches, ghosts, princesses, or superheroes. Here are a few helpful tips from our real estate agents to help ensure that trick-or-treaters have a safe, enjoyable, and spooky night.

• Add Safe and Festive Lighting
  Signal trick-or-treaters that you're open for business by ensuring your porch light is on. A few glow sticks, LED lights, battery-powered candles, or lanterns can help illuminate your yard and direct traffic to the candy. Brighten up the path to your door by laying down rope lighting, turning on floodlights, or putting up walkway lights.

Whether you like your coffee hot or iced, black or with cream, October 1st is a day to mark on your calendar. It's International Coffee Day! Coffee is said to have been discovered by goat herders in the 9th century. Then, it was popularized in the Middle East in the 15th century. Today, it's an important part of cultures worldwide — and that's certainly worth celebrating. Our real estate agents recommend celebrating at one of these Klamath Falls coffee shops.

You've likely seen the TV shows where house flippers strike it rich, buying old homes on the cheap, doing minimal repairs, and then turning around and selling the home at a profit. While these shows are entertaining, imagine if those renovations have been completed with cheap materials? If you're considering a flipped home from Klamath Falls homes for sale, you want to exercise caution.

To be sure, not all flipped houses are a bad deal. Quite often, buyers can find a newly renovated home that meets all their needs for style and appliances. Further, flipped homes may be competitively priced. They may also be in an area with a lively real estate market where homes sell quickly and are deemed to be good investments. Plus, flipped houses are ready to move in. These can be real inducements to take the plunge.

But before you do, here's some advice on what to look for if you're considering buying a home that has been flipped.

Many new homeowners prioritize buying appliances, furniture, and garden supplies when they move in. But if you already have the basic items, the next items on the list will be smart home tech.

Our real estate agents share different smart home gadgets you can install in your new home to add real convenience and make your life easier.

• Smart Speakers
  What's more convenient than taking out your phone to check the weather or search the internet? Using your voice and having a smart speaker do your bidding.
