To put the best face on a listing and appeal to buyers who follow feng shui principles, keep these tips in mind. 1. Pay special attention to the front door, which is considered the "mouth of chi" (chi is the "life force" of all things) and one of the most powerful aspects of the entire property. Abundance, blessings, opportunities, and good fortune enter through the front door. It's also the first impression buyers have of how well the sellers have taken care of the rest of the property. Make sure the area around the front door is swept clean, free of cobwebs and clutter. Make sure all lighting is straight and properly hung. Better yet, light the path leading up to the front door to create an inviting atmosphere. 2. Chi energy can be flushed away wherever there are drains in the home. To keep the good forces of a home in, always keep the toilet seats down and close the doors to bathrooms. 3. The master bed should be in a place of honor, power, and protection, which is

farthest from and facing toward the entryway of the room. It's even better if you can place the bed diagonally in the farthest corner. Paint the room in colors that promote serenity, relaxation, and romance, such as soft tones of green, blue, and lavender. 4. The dining room symbolizes the energy and power of family togetherness. Make sure the table is clear and uncluttered during showings. Use an attractive tablecloth to enhance the look of the table while also softening sharp corners. 5. The windows are considered to be the eyes of the home. Getting the windows professionally cleaned will make the home sparkle and ensure that the view will be optimally displayed.

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
‘Tis the Season for Giving … And for Taking: Protect Your Home from Break-Ins During the Holidays
This year’s holiday season promises to be as busy and wonderfully hectic as ever — shopping and giftgiving, decorating and celebrating with friends and family. Unfortunately, it’s an equally busy time of year for home burglars. Nearly 400,000 burglaries occur in the United States in November and December each year, according to the FBI. The National Crime Prevention Council recommends home owners take extra precautions to protect their homes during
the holidays, due to the many home invasions at this time of year. During the holidays, homes are often filled with expensive gifts, the good silver is out and people are in a festive mood — they aren’t thinking about home security the way they should. In addition, the busy holiday pace of parties, shopping and events leaves many homes dark and empty more often than at other times of the year. Whether home owners are out or just asleep upstairs, the spoils of holiday-
timed thefts are just too tempting for many burglars. A few proactive measures and common sense can prevent your holiday season from being wrecked by a breakin. Follow these tips and enjoy a safer and happier holiday season. First and foremost, lock up! Whether it’s a short trip to the grocery store or a longer haul to finish some holiday shopping, make sure your doors and windows are securely locked. Never leave boxes from expensive gifts laying on the curb for trash pickup. Consider crushing them and placing them in a large, black garbage bag. Break down boxes from expensive gifts and turn them inside out. Remember that nothing is more effective at deterring a bur-
glar than the impression that the home is occupied. Make it look like it is by installing timers on your lights. Have a friend or a neighbor collect your mail. It is also recommended to temporarily stop newspaper and mail service if your neighbors can’t help you out. Store valuables like jewelry in a secure place. A home safe can be a great option for storing various valuables including important home and family-related documents. Keep your garage door closed at all times. Garage doors are a favorite point of entry for burglars. Keep the door from your garage into your home locked as well. Be sure that your trees and shrubs
don’t hide windows and doors. Blocked entrances can make it easier for burglars to get into your home unnoticed by neighbors and passers-by. Leave spare keys only with trusted family members or neighbors you are close to. Do not hide them outside. Burglars are smart enough to look around and know the common places people hide keys. Be certain that tools, ladders and other objects that could be used to break into your home are securely locked up inside the house. If you will be away for a lengthy period, entertain the idea of a house sitter. It may turn out to be well worth the money. You may also want to consider a home
security system. Check online or look in your phone book to find companies specializing in home security. Most experts agree that your neighbors are your best defense. Get to know them and chances are they will be more likely to watch for suspicious activity around your home while you’re away. Break-ins can be easily avoided by taking the proper precautions. So be prepared, make wise decisions and relax. While the holidays can be stressful, by following these tips, you’ll find yourself more at ease and ready to celebrate the season.

Multiple “Cappers” at Keller Williams Realty Pinehurst
SOUTHERN PINES—Keller Williams Pinehurst Market Center had a record-breaking month in November, and is proud of several of their agents for reaching cap status! According to the Keller Williams structure, sales associates who reach certain sales goals, earn “cap” status—which entitles them to 100 percent of their earned commission on sales for the remainder of their individual anniversary
year. November’s “cappers” included owner and Operating Principal Tammy Lyne; Shannon Stites, who has been with Keller Williams Pinehurst since its inception in 2007; and Amy Stonesifer, who just joined the Market Center in February 2012! Donna Campbell, Team Leader, said, “We are pleased with the contribution of these agents to our office, and we are excited for them! They certainly deserve the
opportunity that ‘capping’ presents to our agents.” Keller Williams Pinehurst is located at 195 Short Street in Southern Pines and was established in 2008. They have over 50 associates, and consistently rank number one in market share in Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area Associations of Realtors. To learn more about Keller Williams Realty, call Team Leader Donna Campbell at 910-692-5553.

Jon & Jessica Patella give an inspiring account of their time in Moore County and their future plans.
guest on our past shows as Moore County's only Naturopathic physician and as a teacher at Sandhills Community College in the field of Nutrition. Jon came to Pinehurst twice since 2004; most recently as the Carolina Hotel Fine Dining Operations Manager in 2010. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People author Stephen R. Covey said to ‘begin with the end in mind’, and that's just what the Patella's have done and are doing. The story of their change of life plans, the sale of their Pinehurst home and their impending year abroad is brought to life in an inspirational, principled and loving conversation of commitment, consistency and resolve. Their relationship to conventional wisdom is both intriguing and full of hope and courage.
You can hear their story on this weekends’ radio broadcast of All Things Moore County, and follow their journey at www.WhileTravelingAbroad.com, like them on Facebook at While Traveling Abroad or follow them on Twitter @jjpatella. E mail: WhileTravelingAbroad@gmail.com Jessica and Jon Patella are setting a tone for people of all ages and all walks of life to consider. Moore County wishes them well on their Road Less Traveled.
