louisville homes for sale: March with the Mutts in Louisville
- 10/15/11 05:38 PM
If you love dogs and cats, your heart aches at the plight of homeless animals in Louisville. Like many animal lovers, you might support the No Kill Louisville movement that promotes saving, neutering, and finding homes for unwanted animals over euthanizing them. Caring for and finding permanent and temporary homes for abandoned or unwanted pets is costly, especially when then the animals come to shelters malnourished, sick, or disabled. If you want to support this great cause and speak out to promote the No Kill approach in all area shelters, it is not too late to participate in the Million Mutt … (2 comments)

If you drive through the Highlands, you are undoubtedly familiar with the Louisville is Weird sign we mentioned in our last blog,Celebrate Fall in the Highlands. You may think that is a comment on the out-of the box city we strive to be, but the saying means something else The slogan was put into our local vocabulary by LIBA, the Louisville Independent Business Alliance, though a couple other cities like Portland, OR and Austin, TX have used the slogan. LIBA’s goal is to promote buying local! Why? Dollars spent at local business run by local merchants keep the money here. LIBA claims that their studies … (0 comments)

louisville homes for sale: Congratulations Louisville - We Are Shaping Up!
- 07/08/11 04:35 PM
You may remember my Time To Shape Up, Louisville blog that presented a pretty bleak picture of the health and fitness of Louisville's citizens. Well I have some good news! According to Sharon Spencer with the agriculture department, Community Supported Agriculture programs (CSAs) reflect a movement towards eating locally grown, healthy foods. Louisville's residents can support their local farmers by signing up for CSA shares. When you sign up at the beginning of a season, the farmer agrees to provide you with a share of their farm's fruits and vegetables for a set number of weeks. Some farms also offer fresh … (1 comments)
louisville homes for sale: Home Staging: Tips for Louisville Sellers
- 06/26/11 08:12 AM
I received a lot of comments on my I Hate That Color Blog. It was agreed that something as simple as the wrong color of paint can prevent the sale of a home. In all my years as a Louisville Realtor®, I have learned many tips that can make your home more attractive to potential buyers. Home Staging is simply making your home more appealing to buyers. It is still a Buyers' Market, so Sellers must make their homes as presentable as possible. Home staging can decrease the time your home is on the market and actually increase your selling price. First, you need to make sure your … (3 comments)
louisville homes for sale: "Be Prepared" Louisville - A Motto Not Just For Scouts
- 06/04/11 08:08 AM
You may remember the motto - "Be Prepared," from your time with the Boy or Girl Scouts. In Louisville, we should all take this motto to heart and make it a part of our lives. As you know, Kentucky has a history that includes both floods and tornados. These include the historic flood of 1937 and the devastating tornado of 1890. There was not another major tornado in Louisville for 84 years until 1974, but that was a douzy. Out of the eight states affected by this nation's second deadliest tornado outbreak this April, Kentucky fared much better than the other … (0 comments)

Memorial Day weekend is here. Is there any better time to personally thank all the military men and women who so bravely serve our country? We also must extend a heartfelt thank you to their families who also sacrifice a great deal in the absence of their loved ones. I was so glad to hear about the Joining Forces campaign that is trying to make life a little easier for our military families. There are ways that we all can help military families. We may have missed this year's appreciation day, but just a simple "Thank You" can mean so very … (0 comments)

The last two weeks have seen the Midwest and the South devastated by one of the biggest outbreaks of deadly tornadoes we have seen in the last 37 years.
