What Does A Property Look Like On The MLS?

It is not as pretty as a blog or a full page of description with lots of photos but this is what all the agents are looking at when your property goes on the Multiple Listing System...MLS.

If you click the "Virtual Tour" below you will see the photos. Notice as you go through the slide show..there is a written description for each photo. Takes a bit more time to enter this information but definitely worth it.

Just thought you might like to see this property at 1 Clipping Tree Lane that went live on the MLS just today.

Can Using Color Help Sell Homes in Baltimore?

Many factors go into selling a home including things like pricing, photography, internet presence, presentation, marketing, condition and ease of making appointments. I have decided to experiment...Can using color help sell homes in Baltimore?

My favorite color is sort of a non color. I love the color brown.

But when it came to advertising my listings..I wanted the color to stand out against backgrounds of black and white.

My "For Sale" sign is red so I again chose RED for my real estate advertising. I have always used black and white and did not see the advantage of the additional cost. Recently, I made the change and it make my advertising pop off the page.

                                   In the past week, I have been getting more calls.

                                      Can Using Color Help Sell Homes in Baltimore?

                                        I Am Using Color to Sell Homes in Baltimore

 Quite a few years ago I listed and sold  Sam and Anita's home and helped them purchase their dream home. We have kept in touch and these special clients have also become good friends. These are the same giving people who started Kids Helping Hopkins! 

This morning I received an email from Anita and wanted to share The Music Lady's Excitement. This is a very proud moment for a teacher.

Please take a moment to read....

'Hi!!   If you are not on Facebook, you might have missed this entry last night. This was a JEOPARDY question, one of the folks who posted it originally actually saw it on t.v. when she was watching the show and freaked (I would have done the same thing!!)    Please excuse the verbosity of this e-mail......want to explain the reason that I am bursting with pride.

                                                           
 
My former Hernwood Student,  Dan Book, is one of this song's  "I Like it Like That"'s writers/producers.  Taught him as well as his gifted sister, Jenn from K-5 at Hernwood (Jenn teaches/produces for "Imagination Station")....one of the neatest families I have EVER known.   These two "children" were, and still are, two of the sweetest, kindest, brightest kids I have ever taught.
    Dan had a very successful local band through high school (Owings Mills High) and did many gigs.  Parents, Jon (dr. and musician) and Honey (an artist) were extremely supportive of his musical aspirations.  After graduating, Dan decided to become a dr. like his dad,  was in med school in California when he realized music WAS /IS  truly his life.  He now writes/produces in California.......his family, his friends, are ecstatic, and the millions of Hot Chelle Rae fans are certainly glad that he changed his course.   
   The group performed Dan's songs on American Music Awards, where they were named this year's best new group (come one Grammy folks, are you listening??) and they also performed half-time at last Sunday's Pro-Bowl.  I am flying with every time I hear "I Like it Like That" and "Tonight, Tonight" on the radio.....kvelled  (beamed) with pride  when I just saw the  song on Billboard's charts.   Dan gets all of his amazing musical talents and artistic creativity from his parents.....   Knew he'd be EXTREMELY successful in anything he wanted to do, but honestly didn't envision him becoming a rock writer/producer!!  Just thrilled he was with me at the very beginning of this journey.....and when he gets to the Grammy's he must get his "old" music teacher Paul McCartney's autograph!!  Is the music lady EXCITED......you can't imagine how much!!!!!  Take good care, and thanks for sharing in this excitement and pride with me!!  Anita'

Congratulations Anita for doing so much for so many. I am glad to call you and Sam my friends.

                            Share the Music Lady's Excitement! Her student made Jeopardy!

This is going to be fun finding an old post of mine and breathing  new life  into the content. Since I have been blogging since 2006,  I have a few favorites but the rules say find the one with the most traffic or number of "clicks".

Gonna bring an old post back for a new chance. Thanks for the inspiration.

How can you say SMILEY Faces in 60 different ways?

This post was written a few years ago.  When you have some spare time...take a look at lots of different ways to make a smiley face.  It is fun to look at all the comments on the original post by Mike Carlos.

Enjoy!

More Than 10 Reasons to Live in the Greencroft Community of Hunt Valley.

There is a beautiful home at 1 Clipping Tree Lane and there are at least 10 reasons to live in  Greencroft...an Exclusive Hunt Valley Neighborhood

What is so special about Greencroft? Who better to ask than the present owners?

From the sellers perspective

'- We knew right away that One Clipping Tree Lane was our perfect home. It was just what we were looking for and it met our criteria. This contemporary home was large enough for our children, our hobbies and it is perfect for the way we entertain. The style is both practical and exciting with custom finishes and  built with superb quality.

-We love our lot, over two acres, with plenty of lawn and trees  in the back yard. We are sure this is the best neighborhood in the Hunt Valley area.

-We love our community pool with lifeguard that is super safe for small children and active adults.

- Driving into the neighborhood feels majestic and exclusive. We are very proud living in Greencroft and love the comments when friends and relatives visit. So many people have never heard of this  hidden gem.

-Greencroft Community has only 88 custom homes and  pride of ownership is abundant in the rolling lawns and beautiful curb appeal of the relaxing neighborhood.

-This is a  hidden, secluded bit of paradise that is so close to everything! We are five minutes to Wegmans, fine restaurant's, I-83 and 695, shopping at Hunt Valley Mall and... Oregon Ridge is right around the corner.

- We love to exercise and feel safe biking, jogging and walking along  these tree lined streets.'

The sellers continued with more reasons.

- 'We rarely go away since living here is like being on vacation year round.

-We love the open spaces with creeks to hike, a bit of fishing and we can even use a canoe because Greencroft backs up to Western Run!

- We have excellent cell phone reception!

                                                    And from the children's view...

-We get to decorate our bikes, our wagons, Daddy's riding lawnmower and ourselves for our July 4th parade. After the parade we have yummy ice cream at the pool.

-The Easter egg hunt is fun for us.

- On Halloween we get to ride the Hay Wagon Taxi pulled by a big tractor.

- We love the way our neighborhood looks with all the holiday lights.

- Our friends love to come to our house and explore the streams, catch cray fish, climb in our tree house and go swimming at the pool. There are lots of  pool toys to play with. Our house is better than any summer camp!
