PEARLS AND POEMS

In August

Katharine Lee Bates Beside the country road with truant grace Wild carrot lifts its circles of white lace. From vines whose interwoven branches drape The old stone walls, come pungent scents of grape. The sumach torches burn; the hardhack glows; From off the pines a healing fragrance blows; The pallid Indian pipe of ghostly kin Listens in vain for stealthy moccasin. In pensive mood a faded robin sings; A butterfly with dusky, gold-flecked wings Holds court for plumy dandelion seed And thistledown, on throne of fireweed. The road goes loitering on, till it hath missed Its way in goldenrod, to keep a tryst, Beyond the mosses and the ferns that veil The last faint lines of its forgotten trail, With Lonely Lake, so crystal clear that one May see its bottom sparkling in the sun With many-colored stones.The only stir On its green banks is of the kingfisher Dipping for prey, but oft, these haunted nights, That mirror shivers into dazzling lights, Cleft by a falling star, a messenger From some bright battle lost, Excalibur.

PEARLS FROM PAULA

3 Common Real Estate Myths for Sellers 1). You must sell your home before buying a new one. The truth: Talk to your lender about pathways to buy a home prior to selling yours! In todays market, having a place to go will help make the transition less stressful. It can also help in the marketing and sale of your home by selecting a few choice pieces of furniture for staging and cleaning out the rest. 2). The highest price offer is always the best offer. The truth:While it’s nice to get more money for your home, sometimes taking an offer with fewer contingencies or more flexible terms can be the better option. For example, in a higher offer with a home inspection contingency you may end up spending more in repairs requested and other expenses than what might make the higher price worth it. 3). List high to leave room for negotiation. The truth: Pricing your home competitively increases the chances of you attracting lots of traffic!! Overpricing will result in you sitting on the market for longer and could lead to multiple price reductions before finding your buyer.
