Photographing your House to Sell

Tips for Home Photos

The fact that homebuyers begin their home search by perusing listing photos online means that you have to grab their interest in your home right away. The purpose is to get buyers interested enough to view your home in person and make a solid offer.

It’s human nature – we want what we see. Here are six important steps to get your home sold quickly and for the highest price possible in your current market.

Decluttering

Clutter crowds a photograph because the lens captures everything in its range equally. If a kitchen is cluttered with too many appliances and knick-knacks on the countertops, the impressions the buyer takes away are that (A) There’s not enough storage and (B) Lax housekeeping could also mean lax home

maintenance. Homebuyers want a ready-tomove-in experience where everything works and nothing will go wrong.

The best way to look at decluttering is that it will save you tons of time, effort and money on moving day. You don’t want to pay movers to move or store items you don’t use, love or want, so resolve to cut down the amount of stuff you have.

Begin by clearing every surface in each room. Separate items you need now from seasonal items or items you seldom use. List items you want to sell online, or take them to a consignment store. Throw away broken items you’ll never repair and stained or wrong-size clothing you’ll never wear. You’ll be better organized and feel less stressed once you list your home for sale.

Upcoming Housing Markets in 2023

What makes a place to live desirable? Is it friends and family? Weather that’s ideal for your favorite outdoor activities? Good jobs that help you care for your family? Homes with just the right size, style and features? Educational opportunities and cultural attractions? Is it views of the shimmering lake or the hypnotic ocean, the grandeur of the mountains and canyons, primordial forests and whispering meadows? The warmth and low humidity of the desert? Or is housing affordability most important?

However you want to live, the lifestyle you and your family want exists somewhere in the vast United States. So how do you find it? There are plenty of Best Places to Live surveys but we’ve chosen a few that have more information for you besides Best Restaurants and Most Expensive Homes. To us, the ideal place to live has the right mix of amenities that only you can choose and that is still affordable for you and your family.

Painting Kitchen and Bath Cabinets

Painting kitchen and bath cabinets a fresh, new color can give your home the much-needed update it desires for only a few hundred dollars. Make the job simple by using these guidelines to produce a smoothto-the-touch finish without streaks, wavy lines or drips.

According to HomeDepot.com, the type of paint you buy will depend on what materials the cabinets are made of. Wood or compressed wood can be sanded, then repainted. Laminate cabinets should only be painted with products designed to stick to plastic surfaces. While acrylic and alkyd paints can do a great job, glossy or semi-gloss oil-based paint is best for durability and scratch-resistance. Use good quality synthetic bristle brushes for acrylic and natural bristle brushes for oil paints.

Clear all clutter from countertops, empty the cabinets, remove all hardware and cover backsplashes, appliances and floors with plastic sheeting secured with painter’s tape. Label all drawers and hardware so you know where to put them back. Open windows for ventilation and cover doors with sheeting to keep dust and fumes from the rest of the house.

23 TALES OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

LORE & LEGENDS

TRUE STORIES, HISTORY'S MYSTERIES AND THE ROAD TO NOWHERE

One of the best parts of our job is that we regularly get to introduce people to the area and share the stories behind our vibrant, one-of-a-kind communities. This year, we will be showcasing a total of 23 Tales of Western North Carolina in our magazine. We hope you enjoy this story-telling series and that by the end of the year everyone feels like a local!

Legend of the Boojum

The legend of Boojum began in the 1900’s, when reports of the creature were made in Haywood County. The shaggy, grey-haired creature was described as part man, part beast. Clocking in at eight feet, locals aptly referred to him as the big foot of North Carolina.

Boojum purportedly had two loves. His first love was that of precious gems including rubies, amethysts, emeralds, and sapphires native to the area. According to legend, he placed his gems at the bottom of stone jugs and drowned them in moonshine. If ne’er-do-wells came upon his loot, they would be stumbling drunk before they could make off with his gems.

Boojum’s second love was Annie, a curious human girl who fell for him. When he had been gone too long on a treasure hunt, Annie would search the woods by a hootin' and a holleriin'. He would respond in kind until they found each other again. Some rumor you can still hear them in the woods today.

Click here to learn more and next time you’re in Waynesville stop by the popular craft brewery, Boojum Brewing.

Madstones

Rubies, emeralds, and sapphires coveted by Boojum are not the only precious stones renowned in North Carolina folklore. While much less assuming treasures, madstones were go-to home remedies for ailments in the area’s early settlements. These porous stones are most often extracted from animals and were believed to have healing qualities as well as bear good fortune to their keepers. Frequently used to suction out venom and poisons, it makes sense that their nomenclature stems from the belief that the stones prevent rabies if bitten by a rabid animal. So, next time you are out for a hike in the Smoky Mountains, be sure to keep a close eye out for your own apothecarial prize stone.

“The Duke” of Asheville

In 1902, a mysterious Englishman going by the name of Mr. Charles J. Asquith arrived in Asheville, TN. His dapper attire made quite an impression but couldn’t conceal his rapidly declining health. While a local nurse treated him for what was likely tuberculosis, town gossips conjectured he was of English nobility and the holder of great wealth.

Such musings were short lived, as was the remainder of his life. He passed away after just three weeks of care. In a surprise twist, it turned out he was penniless and in debt. The mayor demanded that Asquith be embalmed and held indefinitely until his family came to claim and pay for him. That set off a seven-year stretch during which Asquith resided at Noland-Brown Funeral Home on Church Street, was occasionally taken on parade, and shockingly used as a ploy in a few practical jokes.

The Duke’s fate was not yet sealed. In 1910, Mrs. T. J. Summerfield came into town asserting she was his sister-in-law. She explained Asquith was a pseudonym for Sidney Lascelles, who had a colorful history as a con artist. She came to lay claim and transport him to Washington D.C. where he was to be cremated. After signing an affidavit and posting bond, Summerfield took her prize possession and boarded a northbound train.

Gone, but not forgotten, inquiries were later made from Asheville as to The Duke's final resting place. The closure they sought was to be forever denied. Mrs. T. J. Summerfield never returned to her self-proclaimed home in Baltimore nor was there any record in Washington D.C. of Sidney Lascelles being cremated. The mystery of The Duke’s remains continues to this day.

"The Duke"

The Giant Yellow Jacket

The Giant Yellow Jacket

From the Cherokee, we learn of a legendary creature that once tormented people living in the Nantahala Forest. The Nantahala River cuts a deep gorge in the forest and at the bottom of that is a hidden cave that once harbored a giant yellow jacket called U'lag‘û.

U'lag‘û means "the Boss" in Cherokee, and this formidable creature was the size of a house. It moved so quickly that even the greatest warriors couldn’t slay the beast with their arrows. When brawn failed, the Cherokee turned to clever wits and sprang a trap. They enticed U'lag‘û with prey tied to a string and then followed the string back to the creature’s cave. They covered the entrance with brush and set a fire that saturated the cave with lethal plumes of smoke. U'lag‘û perished along with several cohabitants of tiny yellow jackets. Some of the tiny ones escaped, which according to legend are the ancestors of the yellow jackets we see today.

Brown Mountain Lights

We end this segment with an unexplained phenomenon, the Brown Mountain Lights. Stories of lights first appearing over Brown Mountain date back to 1833. Under the right conditions, as the sun sets, bright, multicolored and various sized lights appear over the mountain range. While the U.S. Geological Survey and National Geographic Society have suggested possible scientific explanations for the phenomenon, to-date there is no official explanation.

New Global Brand Identity

Refreshed Aesthetic Captures Creative and Innovative Spirit of Leading Real Estate Franchise Network

Ahead of its 10-year anniversary, global real estate brokerage franchise network, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, unveils a bold new look. Celebrating the success of the past decade and expansion to more than 12 countries, 1,500 offices, and 50,000 real estate professionals, modern design paired with sophisticated and vibrant colors brings a refreshed new identity to a brand founded on the principles of trust, stability, integrity, and longevity.

“Our refreshed look pays respect to our past and our core foundations of who we are as a brand and perfectly positions us for the exciting future ahead,” said Christy Budnick, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “We are a brand that stands apart due to our guiding principles and commitment to excellence, and this contemporary new design aligns with our goals as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary later this year and begin a new decade in a pivotal time for real estate companies.”

The Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices style evolution is centered on the needs of real estate professionals working within a business that is driven both digitally and with an emphasis on personal connections and relationships. A striking new brand logo, refreshed color palette, and modern typography will be showcased throughout the world and via the millions of marketing pieces, digital impressions, and brand awareness campaigns generated each year and proudly

displayed on company and agent websites, yard signs, marketing collateral and more.

“The refresh of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand was a thoughtful and strategic undertaking that was executed with care and consideration,” said Wendy Durand, SVP, Global Marketing and Communications.

“The re-envisioned identity will live beautifully in digital and traditional marketing spaces and incorporates an invigorated collection of colors and designs. Of course, we made sure to include Cabernet—our iconic hue that is distinguishable the world over.”
