Gimme Them Sweet Potaters!

November 30, 2010 By 1 Comment

One of my favorite dishes at Thanksgiving is sweet potato casserole.  I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner,and I’m sure a lot of you feel the same way!  A recent New York Times article shows that North Carolina is helping fill all of those casserole dishes.  U.S. Farmers expect to bring in a record harvest this year of 2 billion pounds…thats BILLION with a “B”.  Dog gone it that’s a lot of sweet taters!  And North Carolina expects to harvest almost half of that…ONE BILLION POUNDS right here in North Carolina.  That’s pretty sweet!  (sorry for the pun :-)

Home Staging and Curb Appeal for Dummies

August 8, 2010 By 2 Comments
home staging for dummies (literally)

If you are trying to sell your home, it’s important that it is staged well and has nice curb appeal. That’s not easy for everyone, so we wanted to give sellers a 5 tips to help. So take note and use these strategies to improve the chance of selling your home. These are so easy, that even a dummy can do it.

1. Make Your Home an Animal House.

Many first time home buyers have just graduated from college. And we’ve all missed college life at some point, so this strategy will appeal to many home buyers. Besides, what were you going to do with all of those stuffed animals your kids have outgrown?

That's one craaa-zy "Animal House"!

2. Plant Some Fresh Flowers

3. Fix Up Around The House

It always helps to fix anything that is broken around the house. The best thing to do is call a handy man and have him fix those items. However, if funds are tight, then at least get out the duct tape. As you can see below, you can use it to fix anything!

Are you serious!?!

4. Get Rid of Offensive Odors by Baking a Cake or Lighting Some Candles

This is a great tip when you have a showing scheduled. A scented candle or freshly baked cake always makes a home more inviting.

Nothing like the smell of deer cake.

Scented candles are great to cover up Dad's farts.

5. If your home is vacant, fill it with mannequins to make it feel like a real family lives there.

Well, we said this was so easy a dummy could do it, so here’s the proof.

Dummies can really make a home "feel like a home". Especially if it has a Santa hat on.

Funny Home Staging

Dummies with feather boas make a home feel "sexy."

If you feel like these strategies are just too much for you to handle, and you want the help of a real estate professional, give me call, text, email, come by the office, or send me a note by carrier pigeon.  It really doesn’t matter to me how you contact me.  I’M AVAILABLE…for real estate transactions that is…please no solicitation from eHarmony, Match.com, Passion, or any other dating site members.  :D
