When you need to know... talk to Mickey DeBernard

Dear Community,

The Fastest Road to Yes

Whether up or down, fast or slow, there are “tricks” you can use to make a home sell in any type of market. Following these actions should help produce results, particularly in down or slow conditions.

First, make your home a “best buy” by having your chosen local REALTOR® perform a thorough OPEN HOUSE Sunday analysis of listings and recent sales in your neighborhood. Position your home in the middle of an attractive price range (buyers look in broad ranges, so be sure you are noticed.)

Before your final pricing decision, determine the level of pressure you’re under to sell within a given time frame. Must sell in six weeks? Then adjust your price about ten percent lower than the comparables.

PAGE D3

www.NewHeritageRealty.com E-mail: Mickey@NewHeritageRealty.com

Generating interest but no offers yet? Continue reducing your price until you’ve reached your deadline, or get creative with seller financing. If you can accept monthly payments, you’ll increase the pool of prospective buyers.

Offer your home in exceptional condition, and have detailed information available to buyers, who 1-4PM Whispering Pines won’t respect vague answers to questions of utility costs, tax bills, etc. You DON’T have to be specific, however, when asked why you’re selling. “I have an excellent opportunity elsewhere” will suffice.

Finally, when that first offer comes, do everything possible to accept it. Holding out for a better offer may backfire, so be prepared to say, “Yes!”

Sincerely,Arvilla Sheron

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

Protect Your Home from Wind Damage

“In like a lion, out like a lamb.” As the old adage says, the month of March can be blustery. And while it may be a great time to bring the kites out of the attic, extreme winds can damage your home if it’s not properly protected.

With a few preventive modifications, however, you can combat strong winds and minimize damage to your house and landscaping.

“There are lots of things you can do to make your home more wind-resistant,” said Devin Rutkowski, Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) and president/CEO of Laurel Park Ventures in Sarasota, Fla. “But home owners should remember that nothing replaces authentic materials and good, oldfashioned craftsmanship.”

Here are a few ideas to consider: Improve Your Roofing’s Performance Your roof, and the deck beneath it, forms one of your home’s most critical shields to wind and rain.

Unfortunately, during high wind storms, it is often the first to be damaged. Loss of roof covering such as shingles, tiles or metal panes can make your home more susceptible to water damage. Loose roofing becomes wind-borne projectiles that can cause

further damage to other structures.

Luckily, roofing products with high wind resistance are available and a variety of installation techniques can be used on both new and existing homes to help protect against wind damage. Roofing underlayments, high performance shingles, even effective attic ventilation can all increase wind resistance.

To withstand occasional or sustained high winds, it is critical that all shingles are properly installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Recently enacted highwind performance standards for asphalt shingles have raised wind performance. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, wind standards are important not only for preventing hurricane damage, but also to protect homes everywhere from more common high-wind situations like storms and winter weather.

Protect Your Home’s Exterior The exterior doors and windows of your home act as its protective shell. If broken, high winds can enter, putting pressure on your roof and walls.

Windows and glass doors should be fitted with impact-resistant laminated windows or covered storm

shutters to reduce potential damage or injury, particularly if you live in hurricaneprone areas. In the case of an emergency, temporary plywood shutters can be installed relatively quickly, but don’t wait until a severe windstorm to make them.

Constructing them now will facilitate quick action when a storm comes.

Solid wood or hollow metal doors better resist wind pressure and flying debris. Resistance is also increased by doors with at least three hinges and a deadbolt security lock with a minimum bolt throw of one inch. If you have double entry doors, install head and foot bolts on the inactive door. And since double-entry doors fail when surface bolts break at the header trim or threshold, check connections at both places. Surface bolts should extend through the door head and the threshold into the sub floor.

Research shows that new advances in vinyl siding can also protect your home’s exterior. Products on the market now include siding that resists winds up to 250 miles per hour. A house will blow off its foundation at 160 miles per hour. “Your house may blow over Kansas,” said one siding company. “But your siding will stay on.”

Brace Garage Doors Garage doors can be especially at risk during high winds. Unless you have a tested hurricane-resistant door, winds may force it out of its roller track — especially if the track is light weight or some of the anchor bolts are not in place.

This occurs because the door deflects too much under excessive wind pressure and fails.

If you are building a new home, consider installing horizontally-braced, singlewide garage doors as an alternative to double overhead doors. Check with your garage door manufacturer about retrofit bracing kits for existing homes. Some door panels, particularly those that are doublewide, may require both horizontal and vertical bracing for best stability.

Make Manufactured Homes Wind-Resistant For home owners looking for attractive alternatives to traditional homes, manufactured homes may offer the solution. Non-permanent foundations can make these homes more vulnerable to wind damage, however, so extra precautions during windy seasons is necessary.

“Most importantly, make sure your home is installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions,” said Bruce Savage, vice presi-

dent of public affairs for the Manufactured Housing Institute in Arlington, Va. “It is imperative to properly anchor down your home, and in the case of severe high winds, follow official evacuation orders.”

To clarify, manufactured homes such as mobile homes and trailers are different than systems-built housing, which often exceed local building codes.

Practice safety measures regarding concrete, log, modular and panelized homes as you would for traditional homes.

Landscape to Shield Your Home from High Winds Properly selected and placed landscaping can provide excellent wind protection for your home.

Evergreen trees and shrubs planted to the north and northwest of your home are common windbreaks and can reduce wind speed for a distance of as much as 30 times the windbreak’s height. For maximum protection, plant your windbreaks at a distance from your house twoto-five times the height of the trees at maturity.

To prevent landscaping damage during fierce winds, monitor broken branches. Large broken

branches should be cut all the way back to the main branch to impede further destruction. Your best bet, however, is to select landscaping species that can withstand strong winds.

Good examples include ashes, dogwoods, hickory, most maples, oaks, sycamores and virtually all evergreens. You can also check the crotch angles (the angle between the branch and the trunk) — those with angles between 45 and 60 degrees have a good chance of surviving strong winds.

Remember, all wind isn’t bad when it comes to your landscaping. Mild to moderate winds can make trees grow stronger, promote better air circulation around your plants, help minimize fungal diseases and of course, pollinate many of your plants.

For more information on protecting your home from wind damage, contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992 or visit online at www.mchba.com.

Fore Properties Realty Inc. is pleased to announce that Gene Palmer has joined their firm as a full service real estate broker.

Gene has been involved the real estate industry since 1998 both as a salesperson, an associate broker, and a managing office broker in the Rye N.Y. area. In 2006, Gene and his wife, Denise, moved to Scotland County and resumed his real estate career here.

"Denise was working for Columbia University in NYC and UNC Pembroke offered her the chance to take over as the Director of Business Services. Working in North Carolina is a much more enjoyable experience and certainly a better life style. Coming from the northeast it gives me a great perspective especially when working with clients from that area and other areas of the

country that want to call our area home. It also gave me an opportunity to be closer to Gianna, my 8 year old granddaughter.

Fore Properties has such a fine reputation amongst the public and with other good brokers as a great place to practice real estate.” Palmer comments.

"We look forward to working with Gene and we are most impressed by his desire to treat all people fairly and ethically.

We are proud of the type of brokers that work with us at Fore Properties, and Gene is no exception." says owner Bill Sahadi.

“Listening to a Buyer or Seller and understanding their goals is extremely important. I treat every potential client with honesty, integrity and a commitment to assisting them achieve their goal. Whether it be selling their home of purchasing their new home. I enjoy

Helpful spring cleaning hints for beautiful baths

FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 2012

(ARA) - As the warmer weather approaches, so does the time for spring cleaning. While a head-totoe, thorough cleaning of the entire house can be a major task for you and your family, don't get overwhelmed just yet.

Like any project, start with the expectation that it doesn't need to be completed in a day, or even a weekend. Instead, start with a smaller room that can accumulate dirt and clutter - like the bathroom - and work your way to other areas of the home. Here are some tips that can make spring cleaning your bathroom less of a hassle.

Give cleaning a 'Twist' Ever notice those unsightly water spots or fingerprints on your brushed nickel faucets? No matter how many times they're wiped clean, pesky spots keep showing up. One way to put an end to the cycle is to avoid spots from the start. This spring, refresh your bathroom with new faucets featuring Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish from Moen. The unique finish maintains the brilliance of your faucet or showerhead to help you spend more time enjoying your home ... and less time cleaning it.

And don't stop with the faucet - try Moen's new Twist showerhead in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel. With four different shower settings that change by rotating the head around the handle with a flick of the thumb - it's ideal not only for an invigorating and personalized shower experience, but it's also great for rinsing the shower clean of soap scum and dirt.

Twist makes spring (and everyday) cleaning less of a chore while maintaining a sensational showering experience.

Create a breeze Hot showers lasting more than 12 minutes are part of most daily routines, according to Moen research. The warm moisture from that relaxing shower, however, can cause serious mildew problems. Scrubbing a bathroom is hard enough - add mildew to the mix and it's a nightmare.

One of the best techniques for tackling mildew is to use white vinegar. This simple kitchen product is completely natural and won't harm your bathroom surfaces. It's even family and petsafe. Simply pour a few cups of white vinegar into a spray bottle with

THE PILOT — SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.

equal parts water and apply directly to the mildew area. Scrub the vinegar around, and you've got a mildew and mold-free bathroom in no time.

Once you rid your bathroom of mildew, stop the build-up from coming back by increasing the air circulation. Turn the fan on during a shower and keep it running up to 30 minutes after. Additionally, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and an open window can help decrease the moisture that can lead to mildew.

De-clutter and reorganize Vanities and sink countertops often become a catch-all for clutter. Everything, from towels to toiletries, curling irons to cotton balls, can take over and wreak havoc on your space and your cleaning time frame.

Chances are you don't use the multiple bottles of sample and travel size shampoos, soaps or lotions you've accumulated. A few bottles on hand are helpful for trips, but acquiring a drawer filled with the miniatures is only taking up valuable space in a bathroom.

Luckily, your clutter can help others. Instead of throwing the bottles away, donate them to a local shelter, where shampoos and soaps - no matter the size - are constantly in demand.

Once you've purged your bathroom of unnecessary items, find a home for the true necessities by adding bath accessories.

Items, such as shelves, towel bars or towel rings can keep items off the floor and countertop and add a stylish look to complement your new faucets and showerhead. Additionally, baskets or cov-

PAGE D7

ered jars keep bathroom necessities neatly stored, yet within reach - and can be easily moved for quick cleaning.

With these useful tips and products, you'll have one room checked off your spring cleaning to-do list, while also creating a more enjoyable place to start your day. For more information about Moen products, visit www.moen.com or call (800) BUY-MOEN.
