real estate tips: Real Estate Open House Surprises
- 05/16/22 06:55 AM
I do enjoy hosting open houses and many times I am surprised at the conversations that I have with those visiting the house. Mary Margaret helped me stage a house a few years ago. She added a very large, very nice Scrabble board made by Restoration Hardware on the living room coffee table, then she added words like, home sweet home, to the board. I thought it was a little over the top, but every person that came through the door that day loved it and had to talk about it. It is a fun way to get visitors to loosen … (34 comments)

- 04/25/22 08:36 AM
One of my pet peeves as a painting contractor was the way some of my employees would fill little nail holes. In one case, we had a house that literally had hundreds of little holes through the house. I told my employee exactly how I wanted it done. I showed up the next day a real problem. The homeowner had showed up and told my employee to over fill the holes with Spackle using his putty knife. He made mountains out of mole hills and it took hours to fix! This is how it should be done. Filling Small Nail Holes Sometimes, less … (27 comments)

Our house goes on the market in about two weeks and one of our big projects to get accomplished before putting it on the market was getting our pool tile cleaned. We have some very hard water in Elk Grove. Believe it or not, the build up on our tiles happened in just two years. The tile is only two years old! We did try to maintain it. We purchased pumice stones and rubbed until we only had little nubs left. It helped, but only by about 50%. I didn't think there was much I could do, but a friend recommended Hess … (22 comments)
real estate tips: Which Water Heater is Right for Your Home?
- 09/28/21 10:34 AM
I remember years ago, my wife read an article about the lifetime of a water heater in our local newspaper, then she wondered how old our water heater was at our rental. I scoffed at the article and told her not to worry about it in not uncertain terms. I do believe God has a real sense of humor because the very next day, we received a call from our renters. Yes, the water heater went out and flooded the garage. I was humbled for sure. Jan Green has some great ideas in this post, including how to protect yourself … (15 comments)

Elk Grove Market Update, August 2021-Seasonal Slowing?
