1 Clipping Tree Lane Greencroft 21130
5 Bedrooms 3 Full Baths 1 Half Bath
$649,944
Greencroft remains one of the most beautiful areas in Hunt Valley. One Clipping Tree Lane is one of only 88 homes in this exclusive neighborhood.
Rarely available...this exciting custom built brick, stone and cedar five bedroom two story contemporary on a 2.15 acre lot has the right combination of lawn, landscaping and wooded areas.
Six skylights and loads of over sized Pella windows allow light to shine into this custom Griffith-Brilhart home with high ceilings.
This home has it all from the three door side loading garage to the gourmet kitchen with an abundant amount of cherry cabinets.
Check out the three door refrigerator, the triple sink, the fitted spice rack in the drawer next to cook top, the large island, the planning desk, the area for the TV and the sliders leading to the deck where you can enjoy the birds and the changing seasons while overlooking your natural private wooded lot.
There is a light filled family room adjacent to the kitchen and both these areas, plus the formal dining room and two story foyer, have beautiful wood floors. A southern exposure absorbs heat in winter and gives shaded comfort in the summer.
Convenient first floor laundry with mud room is next to the over sized 3 door garage.
Wood burning stacked stone fireplace in the living room keeps the house toasty warm with the custom insert.
The owners have buried a 1200 gallon propane tank for comfortable living and installed an 80 gallon super efficient hot water heater.
Master bedroom has high ceilings, large windows, a luxury bath with separate shower, a Jacuzzi with skylight and of course lots of closet space. There is instant hot water for the sink so no waiting for warm water ever!
There are four new toilets and all are TOTOs.
The lower level is the perfect man cave! There is a 30 x 26 recreation room, another bedroom with walk in closet and and adjoining full bath, room for a workshop, a wet bar with glass rack, a wood burning fireplace(with insert), big bright windows plus sliding glass doors to the yard.
This serene community is filled with friendly neighbors and activities for children and adults. There is tons of open space, a children's play group, a women's club, a community pool... all this for a modest $1400 a year association dues and the privilege of living in Greencroft.
For more information and to set up your private tour, just call me 410-530-2400.

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!

Do You Listen For Closing Questions?
Glad we did not wait until spring to put this house on the market.
The listing was signed on Sunday January 22nd. I remember because it was play offs and the Ravens were in the game.

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market? I am so glad we made the right decision. No we did not wait!
In addition to having the maximum number of photos on the Multiple Listing System (MLS) we marketed the home and the neighborhood. This was done through the Internet, print media and blogging.

10 Reasons to Live at 8930 Church Lane 21133 Baltimore, MD -
|
|
8930 church lane: Baltimore County's Newest Historic District ...Fieldstone

My first call to see the home came in just one week later, again on a Sunday. It was early in the morning when I answered the call. The appointment was made to meet at the property that afternoon.
These first time home buyers had done their homework. Their buyer agent, Leroy McLean, had educated them about the market. What a treat showing this perfect home! Their smiles were showing love for the house.
The buyers were looking for this little fellow. They had seen the photo on line.

After spending time sharing all the wonderful features of this historic colonial, I was going to place the Lockbox on the front door and leave the agent to lock up.
Then the question:
"Do you have to put the lockbox on?'' Well sure I am working for the seller.
" If we bring you a contract tonight, will you not show it again?"
Do You Recognize a Closing Question? I left when they left...lockbox in hand.
An offer was sent over that same evening. It was verbally accepted and ratified January 30th. Today was the home inspection and settlement is scheduled for the end of the month!
Glad we did not wait until Spring!

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.
 Via ActiveRain Inspiration Station ~ Find Inspiration for your Blog (ActiveRain Corp.):
Eventually you are going to run out of ideas for what to write about in your blog. It may only be for a few days or a week, but at some point it's going to happen. Sure, eventually if you leave your blog abandoned for long enough, you'll come up some more ideas.
So maybe, in the meantime, you should consider going back and looking at a past post you've written and breathing new life into it. We are going to call this the Broker Bryant Theorem.
I was on the math team in high school and never thought I would be able to use the word 'theorem' again in my life. In fact, I'm not even sure this would be proper usage of the word. But Webster says:
theorem: an idea accepted or proposed as a demonstrable truth often as a part of a general theory
So our general theory is that blogging is a good way to educate your existing clients, reach potential clients you don't know yet and chronicle your knowledge of the industry and your market. So we are proposing the idea that bringing back your old posts to share again has value and is a demonstrable truth. Make sense? Yeah, it hardly does to me either, but let's go with it.
The reason we will be naming it after Broker Bryant is because he does this from time to time in his blog. The only person who knows if he does this because he is lazy, or because (in our dream scenario) he has too much business and is too busy to create new content for his blog is TLW, but I'm sure she is sworn to secrecy.
For today's inspiration, we challenge you to go back to your 'traffic' numbers for your ActiveRain blog posts and find a post that performed rather well. When looking at your 'traffic' numbers, you want to pay attention to the 'clicks' column. 'Clicks is the number of times the URL of your blog post has been loaded in someone's browser.
In this case, I'm really hoping that you focus on posts that were aimed at consumers and not your peers.
When you breathe new life into the post, are there things you could do better to make the post more appealing to someone reading it? Or maybe even more appealing to the search engines so more people are likely to find it?
Think in terms of formatting as you attempt to make it more appealing to the reader. Does the layout look professional? Do you use paragraphs? Do you have good white space around your images? Do things line up the way they should? Are there calls to action in the post? (links and/or buttons driving someone to an action)
From a search engine perspective, are you doing the things in your post that we speak about in our SEO training class? What? You've never taken that class or have gotten away from the using the techniques we talk about in that class? Check out the schedule to see when it's offered again.
In terms of the quality of the content........are there things that have happened since then that would require you to make some updates to the content itself? Did you find that you have posts that are getting a lot of traffic but don't seem to be helping your business? Maybe you didn't do a good enough job of proving that you are the expert on the subject. If you were the reader (possible client) would you reach out to you after reading your post? Do you make it easy for the reader to do this?
Breathe new life into that old post and see if you can raise the quality of your blog by revisiting an old blog post with a new set of blogging skills. Hopefully this will inspire you in some small way much the same as Broker Bryant has inspired us!

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! Via Mike Carlos Tallahassee FL Realtor (Keller Williams Town & Country Realty):
Text messaging 101-I have to say that the people that came up with all these really have alot of time on their hands...but I am glad for it because it is really neat! Tought I would share to get everyone up to spead.
Smiley Faces - Showing Emotions In Text Chat A 'smiley face', often called a smiley or emoticon, is used in text communications to convey an emotion with a text message. Smiley faces are used in the same way that a person's voice changes or how facial expressions are used in face-to-face conversation. For example, if you were joking with someone and send a text message saying "GAL (get a life)" the person receiving your message may think you are making a rude comment to them. If you send the same message with a "happy smiley" : ) following the text, the person would then understand you were "smiling" - or joking around when you said that. GAL :)
Showing emotions through characters in text messaging helps the receiver correctly interpret your intent and meaning.
To create a smiley face you use your standard keyboard characters and punctuation marks in sequences that look like facial expressions might. When viewing text smiley faces, they are all sideways. Here are some basics to get you started in understanding what the faces are:
The close bracket represents a sideways smile ) Add in the colon and you have sideways eyes : Put them together to make a smiley face :) Use the dash - to add a nose :-) Change the colon to a semi-colon ; and you have a winking face ;) with a nose ;-) Put a zero 0 (halo) on top and now you have a winking, smiling angel 0;) with a nose 0;-) Use the letter 8 in place of the colon for sunglasses 8-)
Some chat and instant message programs will automatically translate text smiley faces into graphical emoticons. In AOL Instant messenger (AIM), for example, if you type out the characters to make a "happy face" followed by "sad face" followed by "cool sunglasses" you would enter the following characters:
:) :( 8-)
Once you've entered the text however, AIM converts the smiley text to graphics, if it can recognize the smiley pattern, and what you see on the screen in your AIM window will look like this:

Here are few examples of different smiley faces and their meanings:

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