The Only Way I Can Try To Get You To Be More Excited About Raking All Of Those Leaves |
|
 Are you raking a lot of leaves lately? Or trying to blow them in one direction or another with a leaf blower? Sounds like you have a lot of trees on your property -- and perhaps -- quite a few in front of your house. Here's the one upside to all of those leaves falling down onto your lawn -- we're finally entering the time of year when we can finally see the front of your house! :-) Many sellers list their homes in the spring or summer, which is often ideal for the timing of their move, and aligns well with when most buyers are in the market. However -- some houses are very difficult to be seen (and photographed) in the spring and summer because of large trees in the front yard. So -- while you're raking or blowing leaves this fall -- think about whether you are going to be selling your house this coming spring or summer. If you are, and if you have trees obscuring the front of your house, we should discuss taking some exterior photos SOON rather than waiting until later when we can't see your house at all. | |

Does Your House Disappear In The Spring? |
|
 Many sellers list their homes in the Spring or Summer, which is often ideal for the timing of their move, and aligns well with when most buyers are in the market. However -- some houses are very difficult to be seen (and photographed) in the Spring and Summer because of large trees in the front yard. So -- if you're thinking of selling this Spring or Summer, and you have trees (especially large house-obscuring trees) we should discuss taking some exterior photos SOON rather than waiting until later when we can't see your house at all. Certainly, the grass isn't as green as it could be right now, and the flowers aren't blooming -- but it could be nice to see your house in the main view of your future real estate listing -- rather than just a tree. | |

Harrisonburg Southeast Connector Progress Update |

This photo (above) is looking down the new section of Stone Spring Road towards Port Republic Road and Sentara RMH Medical Center.  Now we're getting (above) a bit closer to Port Republic Road, and we can see Sentara RMH Medical Center, Bojangles and The Reserve at Stone Port.  The section of this new road between Boyers Road and Route 33 East (shown above) seems as if it might be the next section to be completed. | |
