Cinco de Mayo in Delray Beach- May 5th-Celebrate the day! - 04/30/12 04:25 AM
Cinco de Mayo in Delray Beach- May 5th- Celebrate the DayContrary to what you might think, Cinco de Mayo is not a celebration of Mexican Independence Day! May 5th actually commemorates the victory of the Mexican army at Puebla over the French army during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862. While not a strategic battle in the Mexican win over the French, the battle at Puebla helped to give hope to the Mexican resistance, which did defeat the French in 1867.
Here in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a celebration of the Mexican heritage and culture. We … (21 comments)

National Arbor Day- Celebrate the Day!It’s National Arbor Day but did you know that depending upon the state in which you live, you could be celebrating it in January (Florida) , early March (California) or November (Hawaii).

Sterling Morton, an avid nature lover and advocate of planting trees who became Secretary of the Nebraska Territory suggested a tree planting holiday to be called Arbor Day.

At that time the sellers were reluctant to invest much to get the home in move-in condition. While very clean, nothing had been updated. … (33 comments)

But if your house is on the market or if you’re even thinking of selling your home, you know that today’s buyers prefer move-in ready homes. Any repairs and updating they perceive they have to do will go into the “minus” column when they make their decision to buy and what to offer.Wallpaper… that favorite that is either “in or “not” has the potential of screaming “DATED” when the buyer sees it.

Needless to say, he felt compelled to return the favor so when he returned from his hunting trip, in the back seat sat a Brittany. We’d had a Brittany several years before but she had an autoimmune disease and went blind, became diabetic and then got glaucoma. At … (28 comments)

Vacant homes can present a challenge. Yes, Buyers can see that the room with the oven in it is the kitchen, but what about those rooms that leave a big question mark in the buyers mind? By staging them, this allows the buyer to see the possibilities of the room and not wander around the house still focusing on what the room's purpose is.
One of my favorite Home Stagers, Diane Young, of Staging Seattle, shows how staging a "bonus" room helps to let the Buyers see how it could be used. At least the Buyer can now move on to … (10 comments)

Buying a Home in Palm Beach County..Where Major Repairs and Work Has Been Done... Know Where You Stand. - 04/01/12 06:05 PM
Lenn Harley has written another informative post for Home Buyers. When you're buying a house where major repairs have been made and you know of them, have you done all of your due diligence?
Make sure you've read and understood any documents that accompany these repairs; check for permits and know what's covered in the warranties. They may not be transferable. I remember when we bought our home in Leesburg, we even had a document transferred to us that gave the previous owner and now us, permission to have a basketball hoop in our driveway.
