Selling your home?

Thinking of selling your home?

Wondering why your home is NOT selling?  Does it look like this?    You may like the color, but who else will? You may like all your "stuff" and need your "stuff" but do potential buyers care? Can they see the "potential" of your lovely home, or will they just keep going without even considering seeing the interior?

Staging the exterior of your home is a very important factor in getting buyers to consider your home ! 

Blue is nice, but....

Purple???

Clean up your stuff!

Snow in Wake County NC is a major event! At the first sign of a snowflake everyone is calling or emailing or tweeting or texting:  SNOW! IT'S SNOWING! Hooray! SNOW!

It has been several years since the last significant snow/ice storm of about an inch in 2005 crippled the Raleigh area with icey roads and accidents!  Many children spent the night in school - buses and parents couldn't get there to pick them up.

Raleigh Skyline's Matt Robinson has a great account of the 2005 snow/ice event entitled "The Half Inch of Snow that Paralyzed Raleigh" .

You may be new to Raleigh or surrounding areas. You may be from "up north" where snow plows are abundant and life doesn't slow down too much when it snows but you're in Wake County NC now - so when it snows here are more Rules :

If it snows anywhere near Wake County NC you should:

• Stay home - that means DO NOT go to work! Don't go shopping! (stores are probably closed)  Don't go anywhere unless you walk.
• Make Snow Angels and Snowmen 
• Drink Hot Chocolate
• Not worry about shoveling - it should be gone in a day or two
• Go for a long walk with the dog - you'll meet neighbors you've not met before
• ENJOY!

Now on to the 2010 Raleigh area snow storm - what fun!

Black Labs are smart dogs...most of the time well-trained Black Labs are well behaved.   MOST of the time Jazz, our black lab, is smarter than the average 2 year old!

Jazz waits for the command "load" before she enters or exits the house or the car.  She waits for the command "ok" before she inhales her food.  She will "stay" until released. She will "hunt it up" when you throw a fetch stick.  She knows hand signals to to left, right, stop, sit.  She knows whistle signals for all that stuff too!  

My husband spent many hours training Jazz to be a "hunting" dog and she doesn't forget!  I am thrilled & amazed because I've never had such a smart dog! (If and when she passes on I PROMISE I WILL NOT be friends with the next dog!!)  

BUT - then there are times when some teenaged hormone takes over!  AND it happened with an old pillow recently! 

Black Labs are still better than real live 2 or 3 year old children (been there, done that!) 

Got to keep a sense of humor!  

Can you tell she's HAPPY????

Jazz, the black lab, has many health problems: Thyroid, Growth on her leg, Growth in her mouth, hip problems ! A couple of her siblings are already gone from cancer problems.  The owners of the mother did not check history.  If you are considering a "pure-bred" please be sure to do a LOT of research on the parent dogs.
