Short-Notice Showings In 10 Minutes Or Less

Selling a home while living in it is not easy — if you want it to look its best when potential buyers come around. Still, with a plan in place, you can minimize the panic of short-notice showings. Here’s a checklist to help.

First Things First

• Tone it down! Turn off all electronics to cut down on noise.

• Make it bright! Turn on all lighting to illuminate every room. For daytime showings, open all window coverings.

• Clear the clutter! Stash magazines, newspapers and mail in a basket or box you can easily slip under a bed or tuck quickly in a dresser drawer.

• Stifle the odors! Be sure to remove the source, then open a window or door to let in some fresh air. If needed, place a small bowl of white vinegar or fresh coffee grounds in the area of the unpleasant smell to absorb odors.

• Round up the pets! Keep them safe, get them out of the way and make the buyers comfortable. Secure pets in their crates, outdoors or with you or a neighbor.

• Check floors! Use a hand vacuum or damp cloth to remove debris or spots. (Do a complete sweep-up if you have time.)

• Make it comfortable! Turn down the air conditioner a degree or two to make it cool and inviting inside. Circulate air with fans on low if you don’t have A/C.

Room By Room

• Kitchen: Clean and put away dishes (or hide them in the dishwasher). Wipe counters and fixtures.

• Bathrooms: Wipe counters, fixtures and mirror. Make sure toilets are clean and lids closed. Wipe down tubs and shower walls. Hang fresh towels neatly. Move toiletries under cabinet or into a closet.

• Bedrooms: Make bed (best done first thing every morning, just in case). Put clothes away in drawers, hang them in the closet or hide them in the hamper, washer or dryer.

• Children’s rooms: Gather toys, games and books, and put them back on bookshelves or in baskets and bins.

• Living or family room: Remove clutter; put away books; stash knickknacks and family photos out of sight.

• Entry way: Hang all coats, hats, umbrellas, keys and bags in a closet — not on wall hooks. Hide the shoes. Clear away papers and mail.

These little things will help the house show so much better.  Sometimes it is better to go ahead and show, as to not lose the potential buyer.  When they come back for a 2nd showing you will have more time to make it shine.  For more tips, please visit www.cbbaker.com or call us 910-202-3607

Happy Selling.

Wrightsville Beach NC National Geographic Top 20 Surf Towns

Wrightsville Beach is one of the prettiest, cleanest beaches on the coast.  There are days when the water looks turquoise, the sand white and the breeze perfect.  Those who live here and in Wilmington, know that it is the best kept secret.  Well, National Geographic has just let the secret out of the bag.   Wrightsville Beach NC made the Top 20 Best Surf Towns in the Nation.  Laid back beautiful beach, quaint  homes and just a couple shops.  The John Nesbitt loop around the island is a perfect walk/run spot. ” Mike Barden, a native and owner of the seminal East Coast surf shop Surf City Surf Shop, which has been in business since 1978. “We have a pretty laid-back, understanding attitude.”

The best part of the island and Wilmington is the people and their attitudes.  After swimming in the channel this morning with the full moon still on the horizon and running on the beach you pass many tourists looking for shells.  It is mandatory to say “good morning or hey” .  There is surprise on most of their faces that a “stranger” would have a smile or a “hey” for them.

There are so many options for fun at Wrightsville Beach.  Surfing, swimming, fishing, boating, sailing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, kite boarding and just plain walking on the beach and collecting shells. We love our town.  You are welcome to enjoy it, please leave it the way you found it and don’t forget to say “hey”.

Riverfest logo 2011 from www.wilmingtonriverfest.com

The first Riverfest was October 1979.  A group of Wilmingtonian’s who were interested in the arts and wanted to resurrect the feeling of community in Downtown Wilmington brainstormed on how to bring back the alive nature of the downtown riverfront.  The area had become in disrepair and not family friendly.  The beautiful old buildings and the setting on the Cape Fear River deserved something better than the current conditions in the 1970′s.  The group of 40 volunteers put together the first Riverfest  with a budget of $5,500 (all donations).  This would be a free festival and would include trolley rides, 4 concessions and fireworks.  It was a huge success, thereby starting the tradition of holding the Riverfest every year since then on the first week of October.  This years festivities have grown even larger than past celebrations.

According to the Riverfest 2011 Reflections website ”

Over thirty years later Riverfest consists of: Twenty plus committees, over 300 volunteers, a budget of $90,000, over 200 craft vendors, 35 concessions booths, entertainment on various stages, Saturday night fireworks, Run the River 8K, the Great Wine Waiter’s Race, A Children’s Area, and more than 6 sporting events with contests for all ages. The end result is a half mile of free family entertainment, dependant on sponsorships and donations from community businesses and organizations. The economic impact on Riverfest on the surrounding community has been estimated at over three million dollars with attendance in excess of 100,000 per year.

As delightful as the festival outcome is, the end result is awarding of scholarships for marine related studies at Cape Fear Community College. The ultimate goal of Riverfest is to increase the amount of scholarship funds each year to Cape Fear Community College.”

It is wonderful to see such a great event in the fall in Wilmington NC.  The arts, cultural scene, music scene and the picturesque background of the city, is something not all cities can boast about.  Please join us in celebrating this years Riverfest ~ Reflections on the River October 7th – 9th.  For all the highlights and schedules please visit  www.wilmingtonriverfest.com
