MERRY CHRISTMAS to EVERYONE!

What a truly wonderful time of the year. We can look back and be thankful for everything we have in our life, enjoy extra special time with the ones we love, eat a little extra without feeling guilty and look forward to a New Year.

Every month I am so grateful for each and every one of you, but this time of year I realize just how blessed I am. Without sounding too mushy, I could not have had the successful year I have had if it were not for you. Whether you are a family member, client, an agent I have had the privilege of working with, or a longtime friend, in some way you have had a positive impact on my life this year. THANK YOU!


Merry Christmas and may Santa bring you exactly what you want this year!

Cindy

Summertime Is Here!

With summer in full swing, flowers blooming everywhere, and bugs abounding galore, I thought I would pass along a few ideas that I have learned through the years.

The absolutely best fertilizer I have ever used for flowers, shrubs and trees is MILORGANITE.  My neighbors constantly ask me how I get all of my flower gardens looking so nice and Milorganite is the answer.  Now, you can’t use this on veggies, but for everything else it’s the best.

The best time of the day to water your outdoor plants is in the morning; this way the leaves can dry before the sun sets and there will be less chance of fungus.

The best solution for fungus is Ivory dish detergent and water.  Mix 1 tablespoon of detergent with 1 gallon of water in a spray bottle.  Spray around the bottom of your plants and lightly mist the top of the leaves and flowers.  This always works well for most bugs, except spiders.

One of the best cures for stress is getting your hands in the dirt.  Studies show that if  you “play in dirt” for at least 3 hours per week your stress level will drop.   I know personally that when I start getting that overwhelming feeling of having too many things going at the same time, I can go outside and “piddle” in my flower beds for an hour or so and feel so much better.  Try it sometime; you might be surprised how well it works.

Remember as always during summer, the little ones are playing outside later, so please drive carefully through neighborhoods and always watch out for them darting in and out of the streets.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY, INTEREST RATES ARE STILL AT OR BELOW 5% AND THE INVENTORY IS AWESOME.

A Rebel With A Cause

A Personal Note from Cindy…….

As I said in last month’s letter, the Real Estate market is going very well.  Unfortunately I just listened to a National news station and according to them it’s all gloom and doom.  I am well aware that the unemployment rate is higher than it has been in years and in turn causes people to spend less and hold on to their money, but this creates a vicious cycle.  People spend less; therefore companies scale back on production, which creates layoffs, which creates “no spending”…..

Maybe we Americans need to be a little more rebellious; sort of like a “Rebel with a Cause”.  We should all step up and promote the positives of our country and quit letting the media dominate our mentality and mood…..Just a little venting from Cindy

On the Real Estate side; there is a FHA program called the 203k FHA Financing.  While this has been around for some time, not many agents suggest it or even know about it.  This program works great for the seller whose house needs a face lift, but they don’t have the cash flow to do the renovations; and is wonderful for the buyer to make their own choices in what type of facelift they want for the house.

The way it works:

Let’s say there is a house that has strong bones, but is lacking in physical appearance.  We bring in a contractor and have them make a list of procedures that need to be done along with the cost estimate, and then we bring in an appraiser; they appraise the property as if the “face lift” has been completed.  Then the buyer can purchase the house at the “before face-lift” price, but obtain financing for the “after face-lift” appraisal.  The difference between the "before face-lift" appraisal and the "after face-lift" appraisal is the budget that the buyer has to work with to have the “face-lift” done and choose what wrinkles and sags they want to change.

This is an awesome program for all buyers that are purchasing a home to live in.  I have a great lender that I work with that can do this type of loan.  If you or anyone you know are interested in this, please don’t hesitate to call or email me.  I will be more than happy to help.

HAVE A WONDEDFUL AND SAFE JUNE….
