tony orefice realtor: Realtor Care day April 8, 2011 - 04/13/11 10:40 AM
Here in the Charlotte area, we have been participating in Realtor Care Day for the past few years. 
This is when we give back to the community.  We had over 600 volunteers from the Charlotte area assigned to help needy homeowners with their homes.  We paint, construct, landscape and much more.
I left the house we worked on feeling very satisfied that I helped another person who needed it.
I will definitely do it again next year.
PS- it was also nice to go out for some drinks and food afterward.  ; )

2011 Monthly to do list for homeowners
One of the biggest monetary investments in a person's life is the purchase of a home. 
Below, I have listed monthly to do projects to protect your home and investment:




January: Check air filters on the heating system.  A clean filter promotes better function from your unit.  Also, open and close cutoff valves to sinks and toilets to be sure they are in proper working condition.

tony orefice realtor: Welcome to Harrisburg, North Carolina - 01/02/11 03:41 AM
Welcome to Harrisburg, North Carolina
Located in southwest Cabarrus County bordering Mecklenburg County, the Town of Harrisburg was incorporated in 1973.  Settled mostly by Scotch-Irish sometime between 1732 and 1765, Harrisburg is still home to families that arrived in the 1700s. In the past 10 years, the population has more than doubled.  
Harrisburg's economic strength can best be judged by its business and industrial growth. With the building of an industrial park, availability of land and the quality of the work force, Harrisburg, a town on the move, reflects and maintains its rural heritage.
Well known builders such as Niblock … (1 comments)
