While driving down the street today, I heard this Mark Twain quote;
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
I guess we just keep reliving history and life is to short not to have learned from others mistakes!
Mark Twain was wise beyond his years!

In this market, we have to make an attempt, to get a Buyer past the first impression as they drive up. How many times has your buyer said, not interested without even entering the house in question?
As a selling agent I can't change the style of house but we can make the house look its best.I have worked with hundreds of buyers in my ten years in real estate. Only a hand full of these buyers have been able to get past curb appeal. I also have a problem looking past
Clutter
Unkept landscaping
Peeling paint
Deferred maintenance
I, for one, am tired of referring to a property as an blank canvas, ready to make it the buyers home!
This is an example of a blank canvas;
Now, the same style house, just next door;
So how do you handle the blank canvas vs. dull curb appeal scenario?

I have been on the road daily and using my blackberry to try to comment on my favorite bloggers, but as many of you know, that doesn't work very well. This is my first attempt at a post. I thought I would attempt this and tell you I'll be back soon...

It is very simple why most of my clients chose DuPont over other areas, small town atmosphere vs. urban sprawl.
The town of DuPont is not new by any means. It started as a company town with just a few houses, a butcher shop and a hotel, built by explosives manufacturer E.I du Pont de Nemours Co. in 1906 to house the workers at the explosives plant. The workers bought their homes in 1951, at which time the town was incorporated.
In the early 1990s a vision for a new DuPont Washington was in the planning stages. In 1994 the first development broke ground of what would be called NW Landing. The planners wanted a small town atmosphere with tree-lined streets and distinctive Craftsman-style architecture. They succeeded with an award winning 3,200-acre mixed use planned community. My clients love the ability to walk or bike to local restaurants, coffee shops or commute to work at such places such as Fort Lewis, Intel, or State Farm Insurance among a handful of other businesses.
Quality of life is so very important to people who have orders to transfer into the area.
