I've Been Away, For Some Happy and Some Sad Reasons

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:03:00 -0500

Hello activerain and others who may follow my blogs! In case you haven't noticed, I've been away for a loooong time. I've gone through some happy and not so happy times in the past 4 months.

The worst thing that has happened to me is the loss of my dog Annabelle. You may have read my previous blogs from when she first became ill. I stopped writing because it was becoming a burden- between taking her to the vet several times a day, working, trying to get ready for the baby, morning sickness in the last trimester, and the remodeling we had going on at home.

After 2 weeks of treating all of Annabelle's symptoms we had to say goodbye. Everyday a new symptom developed that required a new medication, sadly we just couldn't let her suffer any longer. My poor doggy.... she was just laying there everyday looking at me with those sad eyes and was moaning and groaning all day long. The steriods made her rapidly gain weight, but everything inside her was moving around so when you pet her back all you felt was bones. When she rolled over her belly was protruding. She had big bruises on her legs and chests from all the bloodwork being done and her blood had stopped clotting. Part of me was hoping she might pass at home so we wouldn't have to make the decision. I will never forget that day, May 2nd... at least we let her go with a full belly, she had steak for dinner and breakfast and we fed her full of one of her favorites- popcorn.

In loving memory of Annabelle.

Take a Virtual Vacation

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:03:36 -0500

I've been under a lot of stress lately worrying about Annabelle and her health. Today I thought I'd take a minute and view some of my favorite beach cams. Let's face it- I really could use a vacation right now being almost 32 weeks pregnant and trying to decide about Annabelle. Feel free to add your own favorite links.

Crown Reef Myrtle Beach SC

Grand Shores Myrtle Beach SC

Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas

Tradewinds Resort St. Pete Beach Fl.

I wish I could teleport myself to one of these places right now. I think I'd like an oceanfront beach chair and a non-alcoholic pina colada.

My Doggy is Sick Part 2

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:09:25 -0500

You can read part 1 of this saga here.

Annabelle stayed at the hospital overnight Sunday where they administered fluids, steroids, and an immune suppressant medicine to keep her immune system from destroying the red blood cells. Monday morning I picked her up and transported her to her regular vet. Overnight her red blood cell count had slightly improved, going from 20 to 23. They kept her there all day and I picked her up around 5:00. She was still lethargic and didn't have much of an appetite. I guess it will take a while for her to get her strength and appetite back.

Tuesday morning (April 21, 2009) I took her back to the vet so they could recheck her red blood cell count and administer some more fluids. When I picked her up they said her blood cell count was great, it was 33! She even ate a small breakfast and a snack of chicken breast and some canned prescription food for upset stomachs. However yesterday afternoon and dinnertime was a different story. She would only eat a few bites of food, plus she did not move her bowels all day long. I called the vet back to see if this was a problem. Dr. Bridges was concerned that her appetite seemed to decrease and asked if I could bring her back in Wed. morning to have her blood count checked again.

Today is Wed. Annabelle actually got up with me this morning and followed me around a little bit! I could not believe my eyes! She wasn't all that interested in her breakfast and would only eat the chicken breast and not the canned food. Right now she's at the vet where they are checking her blood count again. Dr. Bridges thinks that as long as her red blood cell count is the same or higher then Annabelle should recover from this episode. However, if this anemic disease was caused by Annabelle's cushings disease (which most likely it was), then it will probably re-occur. She said some dogs will be good for a couple months, some may even been good for a year. Only time will tell I guess.

*** Edited to add that Annabelle just got home from the vet (Wednesday). Her red blood cell count went down a little bit- to 28 or 29. Her white blood cell count is still elevated. They sent her home with 3 more medicines, 2 to help calm her belly and 1 antibiotic. This sucks.

My Doggy is Sick

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:23:49 -0500

We have been very busy at our house lately trying to get everything ready for the baby to arrive. We decided that since we needed new carpet (didn't think pink carpet was appropriate for a baby boy), that it was the perfect time to have new interior doors and trim-work installed. Apparently the previous owners of our house were very rough on things, doors were scratched up from their dogs, some of it had been painted sloppily etc. And so the preparation began... moving all the furniture around, packing up some items to store temporarily in the basement. Pretty much everything has been shifted around.

The construction work officially began Friday (April 17, 2009) morning. About a month ago Annabelle was diagnosed with Cushings disease and the medicine to control that can cause loss of appetite. I had noticed the day before that Annabelle seemed to be acting a little strange. She didn't really want to eat unless I coaxed her. I gave her a piece of my apple and she barely ate it (usually she scarfs down fruits and veggies). The next morning, Friday, she didn't even come out of the bedroom. Normally both dogs get up as soon as I do and follow me into the bathroom to get petted. Eventually she came out and slowly wandered into the living room. I invited her to sit on the green chair- the only chair they are allowed on- and she just looked at me. Eventually she hopped up there but then she wouldn't move for a while. I noticed she was very lethargic and just looked kind of yucky, but wasn't sure if she was sick or if she was scared because of the construction. She would not eat anything. I called the vet on Friday and explained everything to them. They agreed that she was probably just scared because of the construction and the furniture being moved around. She only ate a few carrots and some popcorn on Friday.

On Saturday morning she looked about the same and still wouldn't eat all day, barely even eating carrots, which are one of her favorites. Her eyes just looked so sad. Sunday morning she still looked really bad so we decided to call the emergency vet. They said to bring her in right away.

Jay got ready and took her in while I stayed home and prepared for an open house and then our baby shower which was that afternoon. The only thing I knew before the shower was that Annabelle had an enlarged spleen and really low red blood cell count, it was 20. After the baby shower Jay told me what they found. Apparently she has some immune anemic disease, called Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. This is a very serious disease and she only had a 70% chance of surviving.

I was devastated. Annabelle is my baby (well both dogs are my babies). She is only 10, how could she be so sick and possibly leaving me already? We've only owned the dogs fo 3 years, we got them when they were 7. She is such a good dog.

Part 2

Annabelle is the tan colored dog.

Does Your Mortgage Company Understand Property Values Better Than the Tax Auditor?

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 09:03:41 -0600

This morning my husband opened a piece of mail from Fifth Third Bank in regards to our home equity line. They said that according to a market study of our area, the value of our home has been significantly lowered. Because the value is lowered, they are lowering the amount of money available to us through the equity line. This doesn't really affect us because we have never really used the equity line, it was just the mortgage loan that worked for us when we bought our home.

We have known for a while that the value of our home is declining, however last year the auditor significantly raised the tax appraised value of our home, at least $20,000 higher than the home would ever sell for. I did all the paperwork required, submitted recent comps, and even met with the REALTOR who works at the auditor's office. They would only agree to lower the value of our home by a small amount.

Now I know that our city, county, and schools need the tax money to continue operating, but it just doesn't seem fair to be paying taxes on an amount that's higher than our home is worth. Is it being unrealistic to expect the auditor to use fair market value? I thought I had learned at one of our sales meetings at the office that the tax appraised value is usually lower than the fair market value of a house. I know they can't adjust the price of every home every year, but if we did sell our home this year at an amount that is way lower than the tax appraised value, would it be adjusted for the new owner?

Need a Little Help Getting Your Home Sold?

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:39:33 -0600

Frustrated that your home hasn't sold? Have you thought about purchasing a St. Joseph statue to bury in your yard? There really is no proof that the statue helps the home sell, but in my experience it's worth a try. I took buyers through a home that had been on the market for about a week... inside the house was about 3 St. Joseph statues pointing towards the door. A few days later the buyers wrote an offer and the house was sold. Another client I know had purchased and buried a St. Joseph statue in his yard. After a few weeks with no offers, he became frustrated and dug the statue up. Did the home ever sell- no.

Here is an article that talks more about the St. Joseph statue. St. Joseph

If you are looking for something different to try to help get your home sold, why not try to St. Joseph statue? What have you got to lose?

Snowstorm in Akron/Canton OH turns out to be a HOT day in real estate!

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 06:03:30 -0600

Yesterday northeast Ohio was hit a snowstorm that dropped up to a foot of snow in some areas. Most schools were closed and even some employers closed down and allowed employees to stay home for the day. snowstorm

So, what did I do yesterday while it was snowing? Well, I had an appt. at 9:00 yesterday morning to show a house. I called the buyers to make sure they wanted to venture out into the storm and they were ready to go. We viewed the home, then went over to the office and wrote an offer on a house.

I had more showings scheduled at noon that day, so I called those buyers to make sure they wanted to venture out. Sure enough they did. They ended up picking me up at the office and driving because they had a truck with 4 wheel drive. We looked at 5 homes and found the perfect one. We headed back to the office, they spoke to their loan officer, and then we wrote an offer.

Sometimes our business comes at the strangest times. Who would think that anyone would have wanted to drive around and view homes during a big snowstorm?? I remember last year we had a huge snowstorm when I was supposed to be having an open house. The sellers cancelled the open house due to the weather and we didn't think anyone would come. Around the time the open house was supposed to start, I got a phone call from a person who was at the house and wanted to view it.

I think yesterday turned out to be a very productive and successful day in real estate, despite the 12 inches of snow! Share with me your snowstorm stories.

Why Hasn't Your Home Sold Yet? Post #2

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:12:32 -0600

To read tip #1 please click here.

By now, most homeowners are starting to get frustrated if their home is taking a long time to sell.

The tip from my first post was to make sure the home is priced right.

Tip #2 is to consider the condition of your home. Most homebuyers are looking for turnkey move in ready homes. How does your home stack up? I would recommend looking at the following for a quick spruce up:

Exterior of the home: Freshen up the curb appeal with some new landscaping and mulch. Make sure the grass is mowed and that the yard looks neat and tidy.

Inside the home: A fresh coat of paint goes a long way to make a room look bigger and brighter. Make sure the house looks neat and tidy- store away all items that you don't use everyday and put away the clutter- you don't want anything to distract the buyer from thinking about what a wonderful house it is. Is your carpet worn out and stained? It may be time to think about replacing it if it is. While carpet and paint are usually easy fixes, homebuyers would often rather see it already done.

Finally, make your home smell like "home". Bake some cookies or light a scented candle to give the air a nice aroma and ambiance.

Please contact me if you would like some tips on how to help your home sell. Chrissy Moock 330-936-2519

Akron Ohio's Carousel Dinner Theatre to Close

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 16:31:58 -0600

This is just sad. I'm really going to miss going out for dinner and a show. There is also an article posted in the repository.

Via Akron Ohio Homes for Sale. David M. Childress (Howard Hanna Real Estate Services):

An Akron institution, The Carousel Dinner Theater, has been forced to close in this faltering economy. I have been to many shows and dinners there and it is one of the best around the mid west to see live national entertainment, how sad! I, personally, know the stage manager and his family and wish them the best of luck in this trying and difficult moment, as well as the 150 other people affected by this bad news!

From the official website of the Carousel Dinner Theater;

"The Carousel Dinner Theater, LLC has canceled its 2009 season and closed its doors effective January 4, 2009.
For the past year, the economy has materially affected the theater's attendance and its ability to make cost adjustments to keep pace with the decrease in attendance. The final tipping point became the reversal of certain stakeholders' written or verbal promises that would have had a major impact on the theater's continuance for the 2009 season and beyond.

Mr. Joseph E. Palmer accepts full responsibility for this action and regrets the impact on one hundred fifty employees and their families and all others affected by this closure.

Ticket holders who have purchased advanced tickets and gift certificates on their credit cards should immediately contact their credit card company to process a full refund."

The Carousel Dinner Theatre began operations in 1973 in a converted Ravenna, OH supermarket and the Carousel moved to its current Akron location at 1275 East Waterloo Road in March, 1988. In January, 2003 the partnership of Joe Palmer and David W. Slaght acquired the business.

Each musical is self produced using equity actors under the direction of an exceptional artistic team. During the past few years, new directors and designers have significantly raised the level of production values on stage and have caused a "buzz" in New York resulting in a higher caliber of actor wanting to work at the Carousel. This coupled with newer musicals being released to regional theatres gives cause for a whole lot of excitement and fun. There is always something happening at the Carousel.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 08:04:12 -0600

There was an interesting article in yesterday's newspaper about the 4 different types of shoppers.

The Primitive (or compulsive) Shopper

The compulsive shopper is driven by anxiety. They aren't worried about what they're buying, as long as they are buying. The compulsive shopper will go home after their shopping binge and hide the packages. They also prefer to purchase a certain item, like shoes or clothing for women, or electronics for men.

The Neurotic Shopper

The neurotic shopper shops excessively, looking for the perfect item. They will plan their shopping around something they need or want. The neurotic shopper is looking for the "perfect" or "particular" type of something, like a particular style of sweater. This shopper will buy several items, bring them home, try them on, then either return them all, or pick one. They tend to return things.

The Psychotic Shopper

The typical psychotic shopper is represented by a person who appears to be in "manic" phase who went on a shopping spree. This type of shopper is commonly mistaken as a compulsive shopper.

The Normal Shopper

The normal shopper saves their money and plans their purchases. They understand the ideas of delayed gratification and saving money for big ticket items.

So, what kind of shopper are you? I am probably a neurotic shopper. I will usually have an idea of what I want a certain clothing item to look like and then I will hunt and hunt until I find it. During my hunt I will buy clothes along the way that would kind of work and then return them later. I often find myself getting disappointed when I can't find exactly what I want, or if it doesn't fit right.

I recently was shopping for a dress to wear to my company's holiday party. This usually wouldn't be such an ordeal, except that I am about 3 months pregnant making it harder to find something that would fit and meet my expectations. I wanted something that was holiday-ish with some sparkle to it. I went to every store in town that I normally would buy from- Sears, Target, Kohls, JcPenneys, Macys, Burlington etc. In my shopping process I purchased several items which I later returned. I'd find a dress and think, well this isn't really what I want, but I guess it will work. I finally went back to Sears to return something and took one more look at their dresses. They must have got a new shipment in!!! I found several new ones to try on and finally found one that satisfied me. Sigh. Ok, so it was still a little too big, but at least there is room for my belly to grow. I won't even talk about maternity clothes- that might take another 5 paragraphs. Who do they design those after????

The tree is decorated!

Christina Moock, REALTOR Cutler Real Estate (Cutler Real Estate) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:59:41 -0600

So, after about a week's time we finally got all of our Christmas decorations up. This year our decorating wasn't nearly as exciting as last year. We didn't run out of lights thanks to my stocking up last year after Christmas. We did have 1 strand of red and white lights that didn't work this year, but I improvised by putting 1 white strand and 1 red strand on the tree at the same time- which worked awesome by the way. Since we didn't run out of lights there really wasn't any arguing between my husband and me. If you'd lke to read about last year's Christmas decorating click here. Here is the picture from this year:
