Tis The Season To Give!

Lynchburg Va Real Estate, Brandi Tyree (Re/Max 1st Olympic) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:53:09 -0800

Tis The Season To Give! There are so many ways you can give back. Can you spare an hour? How about ringing the bell for your local Salvation Army. Have a coat or a sweater? How about donating a used winter coat or sweater, yes the one that has been hanging in your closet for years there just maybe that little child or adult that has none. Food… Your local food bank would also be happy to take non-perishable food, there are so many families in need that the shelves are low. Toys, how about giving an unwrapped new toy to Toys For Tots? Or in making room for new toys for your little ones, donate them to the Salvation Army, Group Homes, Churches or Social Services! The main thing to remember is things are hard for a lot of people and it often is the smallest things to make someone happy! So pick something you love and spend a little time by giving back! You will be rewarded in the end. If you have any coats, clothing or food that you would like to donate as a member of Forest Rotary we are collecting those items as well! Contact me and I will be happy to pick-up!

The Lynchburg Virginia Housing market is not following other real estate trends!

Lynchburg Va Real Estate, Brandi Tyree (Re/Max 1st Olympic) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 20:11:41 -0700

Finally positive news on the housing market! The National Association of Realtors posted an increase in home sales! It was also noted that the Lynchburg Virginia housing market is not following other housing trends that our sales are up between 20 and 22%! With interest rates being at an historical low, an $8,000 First Time Buyer Tax Refund and an abundance of houses to choose from now is the time to purchase your first home or to move up to your next home! "A Buyers Market Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"!

Spring Is In The Air!

Lynchburg Va Real Estate, Brandi Tyree (Re/Max 1st Olympic) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 07:18:47 -0700

Spring is in the air... can you feel it, smell it or even taste it? This weekend with weather in the mid 70's and 80's it sure made me excited about Spring drawing near! Not to mention all the daffodils and other Spring flowers that are already in bloom!

Now has never been a better time to purchase a home! Rates are at an historic low, we are in a buyers market which means in the Lynchburg Va area of real estate we have a lot of inventory for you to select from and as a first time home buyer you can receive $8,000 back as a refund! Thinking of moving up? Now has never been a better time to do it! You can buy at a low interest rate as well as buy far more home with your money!

It's a buyers market and with Spring in the air... I am certainly looking forward to a successful week of selling real estate! If you or anyone you know are looking to purchase a home in the Lynchburg Va area please have them contact me! "I am never too busy for your referrals".

I am ringing the Salvation Army Bell this year... Are you?

Lynchburg Va Real Estate, Brandi Tyree (Re/Max 1st Olympic) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 20:03:18 -0800

Tis the season to give back and what a better way then to take an hour or two out of your day to ring the bell for the Salvation Army? If interested you can help man he red kettle and ring the bell on any date between November 14, 2008 to December 24, 2008. There are various locations and time slots to be filled. This is The Salvation Army's major fund raising program to help those in need at Christmas.

I personally volunteer and find it rewarding as well as fun! My office which is Re/Max 1st Olympic also takes a day to man the kettle by having Realtors in our office rotate shifts. Nothing makes my day more then to see a child so excited to walk up to place money in the kettle! If interested or can get your office or church to take a day please contact your local Salvation Army or if you live in the Lynchburg area you can contact me and I will help point you in right direction!

The Coolest Corn Maze located in Bedford County Virginia!

Lynchburg Va Real Estate, Brandi Tyree (Re/Max 1st Olympic) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:21:22 -0800

I just had to share with you the extraordinary day I had at a family farm located in beautiful Bedford County Virginia called the Layman Family Farm. This farm is so worth a trip to if you live close by or are in for a visit. It has astonishing Blue Ridge Mountain Views and oh my with the fall foliage in October it is truly remarkable!

The Layman Farm offers something for the entire family including the coolest maze in the country! This maze is designed by them using a GPS system and the 2008 design is of Coach Frank Beamer, head coach of Virginia Tech. It is not a corn maze that is easy to get out of although they do give you numbered hints throughout the maze to help you find your way out!

Other activities include a hay ride where you can stop at the Layman pumpkin patch and pick out any size pumpkin you can imagine, there is the cow train ride, the corn hen which is where the floor is covered in corn instead of sand, a smaller pumpkin maze, pumpkin blast as well as a few other fun activities.

Either way you are sure to enjoy your trip to the Layman Family Farm and I am so proud that it is located only about 20 minutes from my house. Bedford County is truly one of the most amazing places to live!

I am so lucky to be selling houses in Lynchburg VA. April marks my 8th year and I truly love what I do. While the media likes to make it sound like Nationwide houses are not selling I am proud to say that Lynchburg Va and the surrounding counties of Bedford County, Amherst County and Campbell County have always been steady. If I am not mistaken I hard that NAR announced a 10% increase in the housing market and not a decrease! We need to keep the power of positive thinking going each day and always remember to smile and sell.. sell. sell!

Thanks!
