Home Security

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

Whether or not you have a home security system, there are some common mistakes that you should watch out for because they can make your house an easy mark for thieves. Browse through the following no-nos and make sure you are not guilty of commit-

ting any of them. (If you are, for your own safety and for the security of your home, correct them immediately.)

Common Home Security Mistakes: Hide-a-key Many homeowners, afraid they will lose their keys and lock themselves out,

choose to hide a key somewhere on the property. They think they are being sneaky by placing the key under a rock, under a doormat, in a potted plant, or above the door. Burglars absolutely know about all these commonly used hiding places.

Under no circumstances should you leave the key to your house where it can be found. If you frequently lose your keys or lock yourself out of the house, consider getting a fingerprint or keypad door lock for your front door.

Broken Locks Some homeowners neglect to fix broken locks right away, putting the job off for tomorrow (or whenever they feel like it). It is im-

portant, however, to make sure all your doors and windows have strong modern locks that are in good repair.

Don't think that just because a window is on a second or third story that a burglar can't figure out a way to get to it.

Burglar Alarms That Aren't Turned On A home security system is only useful when updated and activated. Test your alarm on a regular basis and check for any upgrades to the software. And don't forget to turn it on when you leave the house, even if you're just planning to run an errand. A

By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President

single thief can utterly ransack your house in just a few minutes.

Untamed Landscaping Though you may like the idea of privacy, ultimately your home will be more secure if neighbors can see into your front and back yard.

Burglars love to hide behind bushes and shrubbery; don't give them that opportunity. Keep the foliage trimmed, especially around the house, and make sure all the outdoor lights are in good working order (even better, install motion or body heat-sensing outdoor lights).

Unlocked Storage Sheds If you have a stor-

age shed, make sure you keep it locked at all times, because otherwise you're offering thieves free use of all your tools which can certainly help them figure out a way into your home.

Also, make sure you don't leave a ladder laying out in your yard anywhere.

Someone could use this to gain access to the second-story windows.

Keys in the Car It's bad enough if you leave your car unlocked (you shouldn't, even in the garage), but never leave a set of house keys in the car. If you do, a burglar who gains access to your car will also have access to your house.

Today’s low interest rates and comparatively high household incomes continue to fuel an extremely favorable environment for homebuyers. In fact, the Housing Affordability Index compiled by the National Association of Realtors® is at an all-time high since NAR began measuring the affordability of real estate in 1970.

A higher index translates to better housing affordability.

A score of 100 is defined as the point where a median-income family has exactly enough income to afford a medianpriced home with a 20 percent downpayment.

Lucretia Pinnock Receives Ragone Earns New Real Training to Effectively Counsel Estate Agent Designation Real Estate Investors, Provide

PAGE D6

Carolyn Ragone, Broker/owner of Carolyn Ragone Real Estate LLC, recently earned the Accredited Staging Professional™ Real Estate Agent designation.

Carolyn said that this designation allows her to provide an important “value added" service to those who list their homes with her firm, and that she offers this service to the home seller at no additional cost, as an additional benefit of her home marketing arsenal.

As the softening Real Estate market continues to increase the need to provided homeowners with new ways to bring a profit in the sale of their homes, ASP Home Staging has become a recognized technique in achieving this goal. By properly cleaning, decluttering, and preparing a house before it is listed, homeowners have a better chance to maximize the profit from the sale of their homes. And in a recent study of over 1,000 homes conducted by Stagedhomes.com across both the United States and Canada, the average ASP

Ragone is among a network of over 21,000 Real Estate Agents and professional Home Stagers worldwide, who provide sellers with the knowledge and tools they need to sell their homes faster and for more money.

Wealth-Building Strategies

Lucretia Pinnock of Pinnock Real Estate & Relocation Services, Inc. has earned the prestigious Certified Investor Agent Specialist™ (CIAS) Designation, having completed extensive training to understand the different real estate investor types, and the investment opportunities, financing options and calculations needed to provide solutions for each. The five real estate investor types include: First-Time Investors, Move-Up Investors, Portfolio Investors, Performance Investors, and Rehab and Resell Investors.

“For decades, investing in real estate has proven to be a consistent and stable

way for individuals to build wealth,” Pinnock said. “Real estate investment supports a number of industries, including construction, retail and professional services, and is a strong way to energize and increase investment in our local economy.”

Over the past 12 months, investment and second-home properties comprised more than $300 billion in sales, representing approximately 27 percent of all residential real estate transactions. In addition, in market conditions affected by mortgage industry challenges, 48 percent of investors made all-cash purchases.

Fore Properties is pleased that Christine Smith is now working as a full time broker at their Southern Pines office. Originally from NJ, she was a successful residential broker with a major company. Christine, who specializes in horse farm and residential properties, owns a horse farm in Southern Pines and uses her diligent expertise in helping both Buyers and Sellers.

Christine moved to Moore County six years ago because of her passion and her husband, Will’s passion for both the golf and equestrian lifestyle. The Pinehurst, Southern Pines area was also a great central point for the family’s children and grandchildren. Christine’s parents also made the move to Moore County and live on the same horse farm in a sepa-

rate cottage that Will and Christine built for them.

The real estate business has always afforded Christine a chance to interact with people and to help them on their quest to make the right lifestyle choices as she did for herself and for her parents.

“I chose Fore Properties because of the reputation and integrity of Bill Sahadi, Owner/Broker. I deem it important to work with a firm that has the same values and standards that I have and that enables me to be part of a team of reputable brokers. All the brokers there as such great people.”Christine says.

(ARA) - After a long, hard winter across most of the country, people are looking forward to the rites of spring. And one of those cherished activities is the great American remodeling project.

Joe the Pro (Joe Sainz), a building expert with Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, suggests five DIY projects to add to your to-do list that will help improve the beauty of your home. * Update flooring: If you just bought a home or you're looking to update your current floor, you may face the task of removing old linoleum.

To tackle the job, consider an oscillating multi-tool that includes a scraping blade accessory. Use the oscillating tool to scrape linoleum from the subfloor; use your free hand to peel back the old floor covering.

Try to collect large strips. * Add remodeling electrical boxes: The home theater room is a great place to gather the family. For a professional look with telecom or media wiring, outline and cut holes for remodeling boxes that can be placed in cabinets or

PAGE D7

walls and finished with an appropriate trim plate. To avoid studs, use a hammer to tap lightly on a wall to locate hollow areas between wall supports or use a high-quality stud finder.* Remove trim, baseboards or molding: Removal of trim is a tough job if you want to save it for future use. The oscillating tool does a nice job removing caulk and old adhesive, then allows the user to slide a blade accessory between the trim and the wall to cut nails and remove trim intact. * Replace broken tile: Broken tiles happen - in foyers, kitchens and bathrooms. Spring is a great time to finally remove these long-broken pieces to have complete, perfect alignment again. Use a grout saw to remove grout from around the chipped tile. From there, you can use a pry bar or chisel to remove the old tile. If you can't remove it as a whole piece, put a towel over the chipped tile and use a hammer to break it up. Remove the old adhesive to ensure the new tile can be placed level with adjoining tiles. Use a

quality adhesive to place the new tile and apply grout, being careful to match the original grout's color and texture. * Repaint exterior trim: Now that the snow and cold temperatures have receded, it's time to clean up your window and door trim. Scrape and refurbish paint and stained surfaces, checking for any loose or missing nails, screws or splintered boards. In addition, use a power washer to remove dirt and debris from porches or concrete surfaces.

Joe the Pro always advises professionals and DIYers alike to use eye protection and leather or construction-grade gloves. He also reminds experienced and novice builders to use quality tools and accessories for better results. You only want to do the job once, so make sure your first effort is your best effort.
