virginia beach real estate: Workout Clothes Smelly?
- 02/13/08 10:28 AM
This isn't a new real estate gadget but it might come in handy when trying to talk to someone at the gym. Even when I wash my workout clothes, those new aged microfiber ones, they still seem to smell like me after a workout. What I didn't know is that those wonderful little fibers trap bacteria and sweat. Normal detergents can't get them out. There is a new detergent called Win High Performance that uses oxidization to not only get that trapped stuff out but also rejuvenates the fabirc's moisture-wicking properties. You should be able to find it at specialty sports … (1 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Hula Hoops Are Back
- 02/13/08 08:42 AM
Not the newest but the newest thing in exercise. Hula Hoops. Who would figure. You can go ask Paula Brown who hangs out at the corner of Cromwell Parkway and Granby St. It is a common-sense approach to aerobics. The newer hoops which are made for exercising are heavier than the original plastic hoops. This gives you more of a good workout.

virginia beach real estate: Habitat For Humanity Approved
- 02/13/08 08:30 AM
A stalled town-home proposal off I 264 in Virginia Beach has been approved. The problem is because of the location. The six town-home complex is in the 65-70 decibel noise zone around Oceana. There is some concern about drainage there also. The city had hoped to maybe transfer some different land with Habitat for Humanity but that didn't happen. The council is trying to limit growth in that area to comply with the navies wishes.

virginia beach real estate: A Bird Tea Party
- 02/12/08 10:56 AM
I was eating lunch today when I heard a racket outside. It sounded like a bunch of people gathered around yakking. My back yard is kind of private (on the 5th tee of the golf course) so I looked to see what was going on. Apparently I was in the middle of a mass migration of birds. Most were some type of black bird but there were hundreds of robins. My local birds were there as well and weren't going to be run off. The blue bird wasn't intimidated by anyone. What a sight.
Seven here.Robins plus my Blue Jay
Redwing Blackbird

virginia beach real estate: Open House and Buyers
- 02/12/08 07:31 AM
I did four open houses in Virginia Beach the last two weekends on three different properties. I advertised the first weekend but not the second. The first weekend was a single family home for $259k and a condo for $389k with a view of a marina (Harbour Point). The single family home brought in one looker and the condo brought in 9. I picked up a fairly good prospect. The next weekend I did the condo again (with the view) and another one just a few blocks away. The condo with the view brought in 7 more people (with a really … (1 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Photo Editing Comments?
- 02/11/08 11:54 AM
I edited the first picture in photo shop. Basically I took out the shadows and lightened the fence and the bushes in front. I needed it to look more like the day then night. I have been to this house at three different times of the day and can't get a decent shot because of the sun. This is about the best. The first picture is at 4:30 pm and the second was around 11 am. I am thinking I need to go back around 5:30 or so. The first picture is taken with a 16:9 ratio which is what you see … (13 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Truely Bank At Home
- 02/10/08 02:23 AM
Did you know that the online banking service called CheckFree Corp. now has the technology to let you deposit your checks from HOME!!!. My world has gotten smaller. Thanks to software called Remote Deposit Capture, I can scan my check through my home computer and deposit it electronically. If you bank on-line, and your bank allows, you are in. Businesses have had it for a while but this is a first for computers. If your bank doesn't have it, you need to start bothering them to get it.

- 02/09/08 11:46 AM
Virginia Beach is poised to have a training facility and clinic backed by some major league ballplayers (B. J. Upton, Justin Upton, Tim Hummel and Michael Cuddyer) soon. City Council is set to sell 10 acres off Landstown Rd to 7 Cities Development Company. The company wants to open a clinic where baseball players with dreams of playing professionally can hone their skills. It will be mostly a conditioning or agility facility and should draw young athletes from across the country. If all goes well the facility should be open by years end.

virginia beach real estate: Track Buyers With RFID
- 02/08/08 11:05 AM
The technology is just about here and I am going to start franchising. It's called "Buyer Track". All you need is my RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card. The card goes with the buyer and you can track him wherever he goes. Now you know which open house or new home site he went to. You can tell which real estate office he is visiting and if he goes back several times you will know when he buys a house. This is made possible by the use of active tags, which have internal batteries and transmit signals continually. The signal is picked … (2 comments)

virginia beach real estate: Crisis Radio System On The Way
- 02/06/08 10:59 AM
The department of Homeland Security recently granted the area money to set up a system for public safety responders to talk to one another. I would have thought the region had that a long time ago but I was wrong. The money, about $3.2 million to purchase radios, antenna sites and of course, training. This system will also send data, so they can send maps and other needed data. This is a great upgrade to the area and should be mandatory most everywhere else.

virginia beach real estate: More Help For Elizabeth River
- 02/06/08 08:50 AM
A local environmental group, The Elizabeth River Project, was awarded $1.2 million dollars recently for clean up projects. The federal grant was the largest the group has received and one of the few granted this year. Most of the money will be spent along a stretch of river in Chesapeake known as Money Point. This peninsula was once the home of factories that produced fertilizers, chemicals and creosote. The EPA dollars will be used to help alleviate a creosote hot-spot that is one of the worst in in the world. The group will construct 2 acres of tidal wetlands, 4 acres … (0 comments)

Would you all consider the top picture to be acceptable for the MLS? I am trying to the show entire rooms but don't have the equipment I need. The stiching software bends the walls a bit but the pictures are small. I only do listings once in a while and don't have money for a professional. This is a series of 6 pictures stitched together. The bottom picture is what I would get at 28mm.

virginia beach real estate: Energy Leaks

I have insulated, installed new windows and doors and still my home leaks energy. I was in my bedroom the other day standing by an outdoor corner and my feet were cold. I moved over two feet and they warmed up. Somehow I have an air leak in that corner. Its the same place they found termites so I wonder if they have something to do with it. I am considering having an energy audit done on my home. I know it will find places that need work. My fireplace is shut up because its like an open window. I am … (0 comments)

virginia beach real estate: No Smoking Gains Support
- 02/01/08 11:04 AM
Gov. Kaine has called for a statewide ban on smoking in restaurants and bars. Kaine was recently at the Hot Una Bar & Grill when he made the announcement. The Hot Tuna is already a smoke-free restaurant. There is sure to be lively debate on this subject seeing on how Virginia kind of grew up on tobacco. Several cities including Virginia Beach have asked the legislature to let them ban smoking in restaurant and bars. Stay tuned.
