Monthly Trivia articles

December

Winter begins with the winter solstice in December but besides cold weather, it means the amount of daylight each day will start increasing.
December is named after “decem” which is Latin for “ten” (the first month in the Roman calendar is March).
The birth flower is Holly or Narcissus.  There are 2 modern birthstones: Zircon (wealth, wisdom and honor) and Tanzanite (understanding and contentment) which became an official birthstone on October 30, 2002 when the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) revised the birthstone list in the first revision since 1912.  The traditional birthstone is Turquoise (new possibilities and happiness).

Home Improvements and Which Ones to Do

Home Improvements and Which Ones to Do

Whether you plan to sell in the near future, or just want to improve the value of your home, here is one low cost improvement you should consider.
Opportunity Knocks.  Still opening the front door with a flimsy standard-issue knob? Choose a hearty piece of hardware that emphasizes sturdiness, in a bold color that says, ôlook at me!ö  Refinish the front door with a bright hue, or faux finish a steel door to look like wood for a refreshing first impression.

Keys for Buying and Selling when the Market is slow

Keys for Selling When the Market is Slow

It’s a whole new world for home buyers. So, how do you make a smart purchase? You can find some excellent bargains but you still need to do some work.
Get help if you need it. Don’t assume you can do it all on your own. Don’t skip doing a thorough investigation because you don’t know how or don’t have the time. A house is most people’s largest purchase. You do not want your dream home becoming a nightmare. Get professionals to inspect the house, the deed, the neighborhood, if you can’t or don’t have the time or experience. This is where a first-class real estate professional can help, both with knowledge of the neighborhood and the homes, as well as recommending professionals for the other tasks.
