The holidays are a time of gifting, and people search for meaningful ways to give each year. While most people look forward to celebrating this season surrounded by family and joy, there are families that are struggling to just get through this month with food on the table or a roof over their heads. You can “lend a giving hand” this holiday season by donating, and that does not only mean money. You can also donate your time or things. Charities, food banks, and local organizations rely on all kinds of donations to help families get through a difficult month. It’s time to spread some cheer this season!
Donating money is one of the easiest ways to give this holiday season. Imagine a Salvation Army Santa dressed up outside of your local grocery store. They are ringing their bell, next to their bucket for donations. You can just plop some cash into that bucket and continue with your grocery shopping. Other charities such as the Relevium Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, American Humane, and Feeding America, are always accepting monetary donations.
Our partner charity, the Relevium Foundation, seeks to provide temporary rent relief for families throughout the United States. This non-profit organization puts 100% of the donations received towards helping families in need of rental assistance for up to 3 months. You can visit their Donate page for easy ways to make a monetary donation this season. You can help a family keep their home for the holidays.
Shopping with Amazon is a must this season. Did you know that you could help Amazon donate to a charity of your choice with every purchase? At no cost to you, you can link a charity to your Amazon account through AmazonSmile! Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase on eligible items to the charity of your choice while you shop for holiday gifts for your family!
Donating money isn’t the only way to give back this season. While monetary donations are nice, there are charities and organizations that rely on volunteers. Donate a couple of hours of your time one weekend to a local food bank by packing and handing out non-perishable food items.
Meals on Wheels America assists senior citizens all around the country. They provide food and visits from volunteers. You can deliver a warm, healthy meal to a senior citizen that is living on their own and gain a new friend!
If you aren’t sure of what kind of volunteer work you want to donate your time to this holiday season, Great NonProfits is an organization dedicated to connecting volunteers to charities that need extra hands. Get connected this holiday season and find a cause that speaks to your heart.
Don’t have time to spare this season, but still want to donate something? We have a variety of options for you. Organizations such as Toys for Tots, Samaritan’s Purse, and local churches strive to give people the best holiday possible. Toys for Tots and Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child have the same goal in mind – get presents to kids in need. Donate unopened toys to either of these organizations to distribute to kids all over the country that are not as fortunate.
One Simple Wish is an organization that supports children that are impacted by the foster care system. They collect wishes from these children for the holiday season and post them to their website. You can purchase one child’s dream gift to brighten their holiday season and let them know that they matter.
Giving back to those around you is the best gift of all this season. Lend a giving hand today and make someone’s day, month, or year!
While this year has certainly flown by, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t looking forward to the cooler weather, fresh hot cider, relaxing evenings spent with friends ’round a campfire, and afternoons devoted to cleaning out the gutters. Okay… so maybe we’re not too excited about the “cleaning out the gutters” part, but it’s still an important part of autumnal responsibilities when it comes to preparing your home for the new season.
That being said, in preparation for the exciting change in season, we’ve put together some great tips and tricks (and even a fall maintenance checklist) to help you better prepare your home for fall.
Check to make sure your heating system is working and prepared to be heavily utilized throughout the long winter season. Don’t push off testing your heating season before it’s too late! A proper heating system is a necessity for your home this fall and winter. Give your system a quick test run to make sure it’s operating properly. If it isn’t working, go ahead and put in a maintenance request on your tenant portal.
Clear your gutters of debris to ensure that the fall leaves don’t block the flow of water drainage. A buildup of debris and old, dead leaves can cause potential water damage to the foundation of the home, so be proactive and clear out your gutters at least twice throughout the autumn season.
While the very symbol of the autumn season, fall leaves can quickly become a hassle if not adequately tended to. Plus, an accumulation of old, dead leaves can be the perfect place for creepy crawlies to nestle (ew, no thanks!), so we encourage you to rake your leaves on a weekly basis in order to maintain a tidy lawn. Though you may assume raking to be a pretty straightforward task, you’d be surprised by how many people overlook this simple autumnal task.
Weatherstrip/caulk any cracks or leaks in the sealant surrounding exterior-facing doors and windows. By doing this, caulking helps keep the home well insulated and fights off any cold drafts that may come through any nooks and crannies.
There’s never a bad time to switch out your air filters for new, clean ones to maximize airflow throughout your home. Old air filters mean that dust, mold, pet dander, etc. may be floating through the air and are not as readily blocked, which is why it’s crucial to change your air filters with the start of each new season. This ensures that all particulate pollution in your home is more likely to be filtered out of the air that you breathe on a daily basis. Click HERE to purchase a new air filter.
While the autumn season is eagerly anticipated by most, it’s important to take the time to prepare your home for the change in season. By doing so, you can cut unexpected costs and have more time to actually enjoy the change in weather. For additional details, please watch the video below!

Rent easily and live comfortably with ResiHome!
ResiHome has once again been recognized by propertymanagement.com as one of the best property management companies in Atlanta! 2022 marks the third year—including 2020 and 2019, respectively—that the annual award has selected us as recipients. The award recognizes property management companies that consistently show exceptional performance while providing clients with a high level of value and service. As always, we’re committed to the continuous improvement of our processes and our personnel. We’ve received this honor multiple times because of our amazingly dedicated team members!
Acey Stinson, ResiHome’s Vice President of Property Management, said of the award,
We’re honored to be recognized as one of the best property management companies in Atlanta. Since winning our last award, we’ve greatly expanded our expertise by adding additional talented and experienced team members. As we expand our portfolio, we are excited about continuing to offer the best service in the industry to our clients and residents.
We’ve always put our customers first, as our past awards prove. But we’re not content to rest on our laurels. In recent months, we’ve implemented new training so our customer service team is even more effective at responding to our customers and solving any issue that may arise. Whether you reach out to us over the phone, via email, or on social media, we guarantee that someone is working to help you solve whatever problem you may have.
Since being recognized in 2020, we have made substantial improvements to our customer service. These include better employee training programs, revamped Live Chat functionality, and enhanced escalation protocols. We will continue to improve who we are as a company and what we offer as a service; our customers deserve nothing less.
We want to deliver first-class service that builds trust and authentic relationships with our residents, clients, vendors and teammates. We’re here to give our residents peace of mind to focus on what really matters, making a house into a home and creating lifelong memories.
One of the many ways we focus on delivering the best experience for our customers is through multiple points of availability. Current and prospective residents can easily reach us via phone, email, and social media. Many companies simply post content in a by-the-numbers manner on their social media channels. We, on the other hand, actually monitor our social pages and respond to comments left by our tenants and anyone interested in our services. Our driving purpose is to go above and beyond for our customers. That’s why we strive to set the bar higher in the Property Management industry.
Katie Hamby, our Resident Relations Manager, further expounds upon this, saying,
At ResiHome we are resetting the industry standard for delivering exceptional service in everything we do. ResiHome is not just your average Property Management company, we are a new breed excited to redefine expectations with a mission to change the course of how Property Management is viewed. We are rebuilding and revising the definition of what customer service truly means and training our team members as well as implementing our vision and daily purpose into every day actions.
With such high-quality service, you’d naturally assume that we have high-quality homes, too, and you’d be right! Our homes are some of the best around, located in popular metro areas and suburbs alike. Since winning our last award, we’ve expanded our portfolio to include not only renovated homes, but also new builds. Furthermore, we now also offer dedicated rental communities with amenities, smart home tech, and 24/7 maintenance support. But that doesn’t mean we’re content to rest on our laurels. We’re looking forward to further solidifying our reputation for excellence well into the future. Thank you for allowing us to be one of the best property management companies in Atlanta!

Now that warm weather is here to stay, it’s almost time for the vacation season to start! But, before you head out for vacation, it’s important to prepare your rental home for the few days that you’ll be away. Listed below are four effective tips on how to best prepare your rental home for summer vacation so that coming home is something you look forward to and not something that you dread!
While not always a fun task, it’s an important one, nonetheless. Before you head out for a trip (especially if you’ll be gone longer than 3 days), it’s always a good idea to get rid of perishable food items in your fridge, wipe down your kitchen, and empty out the trash. There’s nothing worse than coming home to dirty dishes in the sink and stinky trash in your trashcan, so take the time before you leave to prepare your home for your return.
Scheduling a grocery delivery for around the time you’re scheduled to arrive home is an easy task that makes your return home from an amazing vacation so much more bearable. It’s as easy as 1-2-3 online and it saves you that dreaded just-got-back-from-vacation grocery trip where you’re hangry because there’s no food in your fridge at home and exhausted by a week spent away.
Kinda nervous about leaving your home for a long trip? Buy an indoor lighting timer to add an extra layer to your home security. With your indoor lights on a sequence, you can schedule when your lights go off and on, giving the allusion that someone is home. While this traditional method of home security isn’t guaranteed, it can definitely bring some comfort in knowing that it at least looks like someone is home. Need a light timer but don’t know where to get one? Click below for a digital timer for only $25!
To save money on your electric bills while you’re away, unplug unnecessary electrical items before you leave on vacation, such as your TV, toaster oven, phone chargers, and more. Unplugging your unused electrical devices also protects your electronics and appliances from unexpected power surges that may occur while you’re away on vacation.
There’s nothing more frustrating than coming home from vacation to a dripping kitchen ceiling or a flooded basement, so it is always helpful to have a friend or family member check in on your rental home while you’re away to make sure that nothing is out of the ordinary. This is especially helpful when an unexpected storm comes through. Plus, having a friend look in while you’re away can be comforting, and provides an added sense of home security.
Did you know we provide a Smart Home option for your rental home? Imagine seeing who’s at the front door when you’re not even home, or turning down the thermostat before you get back from vacation! Your home’s thermostat, lights, security systems, locks, and so much more are all connected into a “hub” conveniently controlled through your smartphone! Click the link below to learn more about our affordable SmartHome Bundle options!
Preparing for a vacation is always exciting, but don’t let the dread of a dirty house prohibit you from enjoying a relaxing return home. Find comfort knowing you’re well prepared so that you can fully enjoy your vacation.

With the start of summer almost upon us, it’s time to prepare your rental home so that you can fully enjoy the sunny season without the stress and inconvenience of last-minute upkeep! Here are six things that you can do to get your rental home ready for the warm summer months so that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the start of summer.
Instead of waiting for the first sweltering day of summer to turn on your AC, check to make sure your AC unit is working properly as early as April or May. When the weather is in that ideal in-between of late spring and early summer, turn on your air conditioning unit to see if there’s any maintenance that needs to be done. This is a great opportunity to make sure that everything is running smoothly in your AC unit, allowing you to enjoy a nice, air-conditioned home that keeps you cool all summer long.
Now that you’ve checked your AC unit to make sure that it’s working properly, it’s time to check your doors and windows to make sure they are properly sealed. Go through your rental home and inspect all exterior facing doors and windows so that they are suitably sealed to take on the summer storms and unrelenting heat.
Switching out your air filter on a regular quarterly basis helps you avoid dirty air filters that block the flow of clean, cool air, which is especially important during the height of the summer. Replacing your air filter is a simple but crucial task in home upkeep.

You know all those little I’ll-use-it-one-day tidbits that have been slowly taking over your kitchen drawers? Well, now’s the time to refresh your space – say sayonara to your unused items and be prepared to be amazed at all the space you forgot you had.
Pro Tip: Have a bunch of gently used winter items that you haven’t gotten around to packing away in the attic? Donate bags of gently worn garments to your local charity shop or thrift store. Have a lot of clothing, furniture, and odd-and-ends to get rid of? Host a garage sale! A garage sale is a great way to clear out all of your clutter all at once while also allowing others to re-use and enjoy your gently used items.
It’s almost time for summer evenings spent out on the lawn grilling, gardening, and enjoying the beautiful weather. However, it’s easy to forget those little pestering bugs that always seem to show up uninvited. Before summer settles in, take preventative steps to get rid of pests by spraying your lawn down with insect spray, setting out citronella candles, and making sure all windows and doors are properly sealed.

With everyone wanting to spend time out of doors, late spring is the perfect time of year to get a headstart on lawn maintenance! Whether trimming walkways, re-mulching your flower beds, or mowing/watering the lawn, these tasks are all simple ways to make your lawn look healthy and ready for summer. To protect your lawn against the unrelenting summer sun, if you have an irrigation system, be sure to adjust your sprinkler settings in line with your county or municipality usage regulations or to your preferred setting (recommended twice per week, 15 mins each time). For more information on irrigation recommendations, please click the button below.
It’s easy to overlook all the important steps it takes to ensure that your rental home is prepped and ready for the start of the new season. Stay on top of your rental home upkeep and enjoy a relaxing summer!

While the holiday season isn’t too far off, a whole lot has to happen between now and Christmas. From settling in and unpacking to decorating and painting, there’s so much to do in your new rental home. While the craziness of moving in can be overwhelming, now is the perfect time to finish off your guest room before the holiday season gets too hectic! Don’t let your unfinished guest room hinder you from hosting beloved friends and family this Holiday season. Instead, find the inspiration you need to prepare the guest room so that you and your friends and family can enjoy the holidays to the very fullest!
Need some guest room inspiration? We’ve got you covered! Read below for some tips and tricks on how to make your guest room feel extra welcoming this Holiday season!
Keep it simple //
A guest room doesn’t need too much in order to be comfortable. Keep your guest room simple, and don’t overcrowd the room with unused furniture from throughout the house. Instead, minimize the number of large pieces of furniture in the room to maximize the space. An excellent tip to keep in mind regarding furniture is to stick with the basics. Nightstands and a matching dresser with tasteful table lamps can create a consistent and cozy feel throughout the room without feeling too overcrowded. Alternative lighting sources always add a more homey and comfortable touch to the room. Keeping the tabletops clear of small items also makes the room seem tidier while allowing your guests to utilize the space to better suit their needs.
Create an Atmosphere //
Whether the walls are white and the room is light and airy, or the walls are dark and moody in contrast to fun and eclectic furniture, make sure to create a consistent atmosphere throughout the room. If you’re aiming for a light and airy look, stay away from large, dark pieces of furniture that take up a lot of space and demand attention. Instead, opt for natural-wood pieces, light curtains (like cream linen), and alternative lighting sources (like table lamps or wall sconces) versus a bright, harsh fluorescent overhead light. If the room is dark, balance out the dark walls with simple furnishings, larger mirrors (which naturally brighten up a space and make it look larger than it actually is), and tasteful lighting. Overall, you want to create a welcoming and calming atmosphere from the moment the guest walks in until they leave.
Pro Tip: Lighting can transform any room! Providing gentle and soothing light can help set the tone in the room and create a cozy environment.
Keep It Fresh //
There’s nothing quite like settling in for a good night’s sleep in a comfortable and calming guest room with fresh linens, blankets, and a soothing scent hanging in the air. A comfortable mattress, some new linens, and extra blankets (in case they get chilled) can make a guest’s stay so much more enjoyable. Providing your guest with fresh bed linens, cozy blankets, and a guest room that is properly cleaned and free from dust and dirt can mean a lot to your guest. While it’s always a temptation, avoid using your guest room as a storage area full of a motley collection of furniture and decor. Instead, keep the guest room clear of junk and storage boxes and instead create a warm and inviting atmosphere by keeping the room tidy with minimal furniture.
Pro Tip: Spray an all-natural room scent in your guest room right before your guests arrive to deodorize the space and make the room smell fresh. That being said, try to avoid polarizing scents like super sweet fruity scents or strong, musky scents, in case your guest is sensitive to certain scents. Stick to the basics, and play it safe with a fresh linen or airy lavender scent.
Go the Extra Mile //
When your guests arrive, surprise them with a tray on their bedside table or bed, featuring a small vase of fresh flowers, brand new soap for them to use, or even extra travel-sized hygiene products (like three oz. shampoo, conditioner, & toothpaste for them to use during their stay), as well as some fresh towels neatly folded on their bed. To make their stay even more special, add their favorite chocolate bar to the tray and set out a comfortable bathrobe for your guest’s use throughout their stay at your home. This kind gesture goes a long way, making your friends and family feel cared for while simultaneously ensuring they have what they need to better enjoy their visit. Plus, we all have that one friend or family member who always forgets something while traveling for the holidays, so it’s always convenient to be prepared and have extra items (like toothbrushes, soaps, razors, lotions, etc.) on hand, just in case.
Instead of feeling intimidated by hosting for the Holidays, this Christmas, we hope that, by using a few of our tips and tricks, you and your guests can enjoy the wonderful holiday season to the fullest.

4 Tips on How To Find The Perfect Rental:
Everyone thinks they know what they want when it comes to their new house. However, when it actually comes down to selecting the home, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed and intimidated with all the choices. That being the case, take the time to make a specific list of qualities and characteristics that you’re looking for in your future home and community. By doing this, not only will you streamline the search process, but you’ll cut through the confusion and uncertainty of unknowns to better find your perfect rental.
While it’s usually everyone’s least favorite part of the rental journey, putting in the time and effort to research a new area/community is critical for a renter’s long-term satisfaction. This step in the renter’s journey comes naturally after you’ve already listed out the qualities and characteristics you desire in a future home or community. Overall, having a deeper understanding of the local community enables you to strategically decide on what’s best for you long-term.
Individuals often find themselves making unfounded assumptions regarding what they can or cannot afford when it comes to renting. They tend to either over-estimate or underestimate the costs, one being worse than the other. However, once you add in all the additional costs, including HOA fees (if applicable), utilities, etc., your monthly rent budget may look a bit different than you originally anticipated. For this reason, take the time to break down your monthly finances to the last dollar so as to ensure that you can afford your dream rental before committing to a rental home.
Here’s a link to 7 of the best budget apps for 2021!
Let’s just say you want to move into a new rental within the next 6 months, plan out and break down the move-out and move-in process as well as your estimated budget. Write up a detailed outline of your rental timeline and moving budget to refer to throughout the moving process. Also, use code “RESIHOME10” for 10 % off your move with Bellhop! By planning out your timeline and budget, and hiring movers in advance, you’ll be able to move forward with confidence to make your dream rental a reality.

Fall is officially here and we couldn’t be more excited about it! From the pumpkin spice lattes to the cozy throw blankets and the cool, crisp weather, there are so many reasons to love Fall. The beautiful change in season is the perfect time to cozy up your home with autumnal classics to create a welcoming and relaxing environment for you (and your guests) to enjoy!
Need some autumn inspiration for your home? Here are 5 simple ways to spruce up your home this fall!
Fill your home with the welcoming and refreshing scent of fall by purchasing your favorite fall-scented candles.

Throw blankets and pillows are a wonderful way to cozy up any living room or guest room. Neutral-colored autumn colors, like sage green or mustard yellow, or even fun prints like plaid and gingham, spice up any room. Pillows and throw blankets are also easy decor items to swap out as the seasons change. Need some pillow or blanket inspiration for your home? Click HERE!
Pumpkins, gourds, and mums are autumn classics and give us all the fall feels. Add a little greenery or pinecones and neatly arrange the pumpkins, gourds, and mums on your front porch, fireplace mantel, or table to spice up the space. You can usually find these at your local grocery store or craft store.
While pumpkins and gourds are autumn staples, adding some extra greenery creates a lovely contrast and makes any autumn arrangement pop. For a more natural look, arrange some succulents with the beautiful fall leaves (or branches) and pinecones to create a simple and natural autumn arrangement for your table or fireplace mantel.
Whether you’re quoting Anne, of Anne of Green Gables, or F. Scott Fitzgerald, classic autumnal quotes are a wonderful way to add subtle but sweet touches of fall throughout your home. Display these framed quotes on a fireplace mantel, a hallway wall, or even in your bathroom on a shelf to warm up the space. Framed quotes lend a comfortable and inspirational feel to your home, and are easy to switch out with the changing of the seasons.

When you’re renting, you’re not just looking for a place to live, you’re looking for a home. You need a home where your guests feel welcome and where you can play fetch in the backyard with your pup. Good news – your furry (and not so furry) friends are welcome! We understand that pets can be a very important part of the family, which means they’re important to us too.

We’re so happy you’ve found a rental home you love, and now it’s time to make it feel like your own. It might technically be a rental, but it doesn’t need to feel like one. These days, you can find all kinds of easily removable decor – from wallpaper to kitchen backsplashes. It’s time to put your personality into it!
Amp up the Art
Displaying the right artwork will make your personality shine through in your home. Whether you decide to DIY some art canvases or go thrifting for some great art, cover the walls with whatever is meaningful to you. Don’t forget to hang the family photos – collage walls are all the rage, and for a good reason!
Add Temporary Pattern
If you don’t want to paint and repaint, why not give that boring main wall a touch that screams “you” by grabbing some removable wallpaper. Etsy.com has so many options, you won’t know where to start.
No backsplash in the kitchen? Wallpaper it! A blank frame that needs some texture? Wallpaper it! Check out some other ideas on fun ways to use wallpaper.
Layer your Rugs
It may sound simple, but wow can rugs make a difference! Not loving the beige carpet in your bedroom? Add a rug on top! IKEA has some brightly colored rugs that can add a ton of personality to your space.
A Touch of Paint
If you plan to stay awhile (we hope you do!), then consider painting an accent wall or two. Don’t want to paint the walls but still want to add some color to your space? Paint your old wood furniture! Add some personalization by painting an old chair a bright color or use a new stain. It will feel like new!
Create an Illusion
Did you know that hanging mirrors creates the illusion of a bigger space? Hang a mirror in a stylish frame and add personalization to your new home! Bonus points if it’s across from a window – it will reflect natural light back into the room. Voila!

Winterizing your home isn’t just about keeping up with home maintenance. A few simple steps can help you save money and keep your home nice and cozy for the cold months!
Check your heater
Hopefully, you’ve already done this, but if you haven’t, don’t wait! A proper heating system is a necessity for your home this winter. Give your system a quick test run to make sure it’s operating properly. If it isn’t working, put in a maintenance request on your tenant portal.
Seal Doors and Windows
Drafty doors or windows? That can drive up your energy bill! If the cold air creeps in, your heater has to work harder which costs you $$. It’s an easy fix – just install some foam or felt weatherstripping.
Inspect the caulking around your door frames, and check for any leaks around your doors. Checking leaks is easy on a day when it’s windy! Click here for some creative ways to check for leaks. For your windows, check the outside moldings for missing or damaged caulking. To replace, use a quality exterior caulk to seal the gaps. Don’t forget to check for leaks here, too.
Windows and doors are obvious places for heat to escape, but what about your floors? Like a monster under your bed, cold drafts can seep into a room from right under your feet. Have any old rugs laying around? Break them out over hardwood floors. Hardwood is notorious for letting out heat so covering as much as you can with rugs will help keep the warmth in.
Replace your furnace filters
The rule of thumb is to replace your air filters every 3 months, but in winter, you’ll want to increase that frequency. Changing your filter every month ensures your heating system will run its best.
Prep your plumbing
The last thing you want with cold temperatures is freezing pipes. Take a minute to drain the water from your outdoor faucets and garden hoses and store the hoses inside. Just in case a pipe does freeze, make sure everyone in your house knows how to turn off the water at the water source! This will help to minimize the leaking if a pipe does burst.
Following these simple steps will help to save you money, avoid unnecessary maintenance, and keep you warm all Winter long! For more information on maintaining your home, visit https://resihome.com/maintaining-your-home/.
