homes for sale: St. Patrick's Day Traditions - 03/17/10 09:40 AM

Snakes.  Tradition has St. Patrick drumming all snakes from Ireland.  Since none are native to Ireland, it's likely a metaphor of driving out relgions that practiced human sacrifice.
Shamrock.  The three-leafed national flower of Ireland.  Legend says that St. Patrick used it to illustrate the Trinity.
Wearing green.   American school children started a tradition of their own.  Green is the color of spring, the shamrock and the old Irish flag.

homes for sale: Thought I'd Share a Cute Joke This Sunny Tuesday Morning - 03/16/10 01:50 AM

One Sunday, sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH.  He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies - two in the front seat and three in the back - wide eyed and white as ghosts.  The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit!  I always go … (4 comments)

homes for sale: Get Rid of Mold Before You List That Home - 03/08/10 10:47 PM

Molds are tiny microscopic organisms, and are found virtually everywhere.  Mold grows in air conditioning ducts, carpets, pots of houseplants - you name it - mold is found almost everywhere we work and love.
Take a minute to ask sellers to make sure there is no mold in their home before you actually list the home.  It's easier to address this issue before you actually have an offer than to negotiate an offer based on having to have mold removed.
Where to Look For Mold
- Cracks in bath tiles, chipped caulking, loose toilet seals, leaks under sinks
- Carpet … (7 comments)

homes for sale: Patience Pays Off - 03/08/10 10:28 PM

Have you ever had that buyer who wants to look at 10 houses every weekend and not one of those homes is what they want?  Well, I have been in that situation, wondering if my buyer was serious or just "kicking tires."  Maybe my buyer was nervous about such a large purchase.  Sometimes you just can't put your finger on the reason for the buyer's reluctance.
I can tell you that patience pays off.  I hung in there through the last year and finally sold a wonderful home to my buyer.  My buyer was ready when the time was right - and the … (5 comments)

Here are some helpful tips for kitchen cleaning - for sellers and all of us.
Clean the inside and outside of your refrigerator monthly.
Clean crumbs, grease and water from stove, flooring and countertips regularly.
Empty trash cans daily, and clean them on a regular basis.  Clean the area under your sink, keeping it dry and reducing clutter.  Dispose of any paper grocery bags, as they are a favorite hiding place for roaches.
Keep food containers tightly sealed.
Wash and dry dishes as soon as possible after washing.
