Dear Community,
What Not to Overlook on a Final Walk-through • All appliances are operating, such as the dishwasher, washer and dryer, oven, etc. • Intercom, doorbell, and alarm are operational. • Hot water heater is working. • No plants or shrubs have been removed from the yard. • Heating and air conditioning system is working • Garage door opener and other remotes are available. • Instruction books and warranties on appliances and fixtures are available. • All personal items of the sellers and all debris have been removed. Check the basement, attic, and every room, closet, and crawlspace. Reprinted from REALTOR® Magazine with permission of NAR.
It's guaranteed to be hectic right before closing, but you should always make time for a final walk-through. Your goal is to make sure that your home is in the same condition you expected it would be. Ideally, the sellers already have moved out. This is your last chance to check that appliances are in working condition and that agreedupon repairs have been made. Here's a detailed list of what not to overlook for on your final walk-through. Make sure that: • Repairs you've requested have been made. Obtain copies of paid bills and warranties. • There are no major changes to the property since you last viewed it. • All items that were included in the sale price - draperies, lighting fixtures, etc. - are still there. • Screens and storm windows are in place or stored.
Sincerely,Arvilla Sheron

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 2012
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
Living With Your Remodeling Project
Remodeling your home is uniquely different from building a new home. With remodeling, your home becomes the worksite. You live sideby-side with the project from start to finish. Once construction begins, you'll probably long for simple pleasures like a dust-free home or a fully functioning kitchen or bath. But the end result will be well worth these inconveniences. Communication Consistent and open communication between you and your remodeler will enhance your understanding of the project, provide an opportunity to exchange ideas, and ultimately help to make the experience a positive one for everyone involved. To facilitate this process, you need to: Determine who you and your remodeler should contact for daily decisions or an afterhours emergency. Designate a backup for each contact person to assure continuity in anyone's absence. Create a place in your house where the contact persons can leave messages for each other (a securely anchored notebook is a good idea since it is less likely to disappear). Speak up. If you are
uncertain about any aspect of the project, be sure to let the contact person know. The Pre-Construction Meeting One way to ensure the success of your project is to plan for and actively participate in a pre-construction meeting. This allows your remodeler to clarify procedures and explain how the job will progress. It also offers both you and your remodeler an opportunity to prepare for those issues that may arise later. You should think of this meeting as a forum for all participants to define their expectations and agree on the anticipated outcome. Some of the issues you may wish to cover at this meeting include: Will you allow your remodeler to place a company sign on your property? Remember that, in addition to being a marketing tool, signs help contractors and suppliers locate your home. What areas of your home will be off limits to workers? Does your house have an alarm system? Will workers need a key or will someone always be there? How will you ensure that your children and pets stay out of the work
space? How will trash removal be handled? Where will the remodeler locate the dumpster on your property? Does the remodeler anticipate any interruptions of utilities during the project? If so, when and for how long? At certain stages of construction, the project may affect basic household necessities like water and electricity. Will you need to vacate the house at any time? What are your expectations regarding clean up? Will sweeping be sufficient for a daily cleaning, or will you need a more thorough cleaning in order to use the space? You should also use the pre-construction meeting to establish guidelines for the remodeling crew working on the project: Determine who you and your remodeler should contact for daily decisions or an afterhours emergency. For example, your contact may be the lead carpenter for the job, while the remodeler's contact could be your spouse. What times will work-
ers begin and end work at your home? Be sure to consider the neighbors as well as household members. Where can workers park near the jobsite? Will you allow workers to use your phone for local business calls? Will bathroom facilities in your home be available to workers? What is the remodeler's policy on smoking on the jobsite? What is the remodeler's policy on the use of profanity? If you are especially sensitive to this issue, you should let your remodeler know. Will you allow workers to play their radios at a reasonable volume? Are there any stations or programs that you do not want played? Preventing Remodeling Fever The train-station atmosphere of a remodeling project can lead to remodeling fever. The main symptom of this temporary affliction is feeling a loss of control that results from disrupted routines and the impact on your personal space. The best way to prevent this fever is to prepare well, remember
that "this too shall pass," and focus on the progress being made. A few other suggestions from remodeling pros: Prepare for inconvenience. A remodeling project can turn your home and — on some days — your life upside down. A kitchen remodel will, of course, affect meal planning. But a little ingenuity and some culinary shortcuts can lessen the impact. Set up a temporary cooking quarters by moving the refrigerator, toaster oven, and microwave to another room. Arrange a dishwashing station in your laundry room. If the weather is warm, fire up the grill and dine alfresco. Designate a safe haven in your home where you can escape from the chaos and commotion. Guard against dust. During a remodeling project, dust has the unfortunate tendency to appear everywhere from lampshades to plates stacked inside your kitchen cabinets. To keep out as much dust as possible: 1) Seal off doorways and stairs; 2) Turn off central air or heat when workers are sanding and stock up on extra filters so that you can change them often; 3) Have deliveries made
though a designated entrance; 4) Use doormats and temporary floor coverings where appropriate; 5) Remove anything that might get damaged by the dust or at least cover it with plastic drop cloths that are taped shut. Maintain a sense of humor, Remember that certain things are out of your control and it's best to laugh rather than upset yourself about things like the weather or delayed delivery of materials. See the remodeling process as an adventure. Tell the kids that you are "camping in" and transform inconvenience into fun. Along the way, celebrate as different stages of the project are completed. For more information on choosing a professional remodeler and managing every phase of your remodeling project, be sure to contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992 or visit us online at www.mchba.com.

NAVIGATING THROUGH BANK OWNED PROPERTY
First Bank V.P. of Real Estate Operations, Janice Durham, (sitting L), Pinehurst Real Estate Attorney, Buck Adams, and Fore Properties real estate broker, Christine Warren, (sitting R) new to Moore County from the Charlotte area, join host Bill Sahadi to discuss the nuances, misperceptions and expectations of purchasing "bank owned" property (REO). Janice's expertise in this area coupled with her background as a real estate broker in the Chapel Hill area allows her to paint a much clearer and more understandable picture of how this process works. Attorney Buck Adams clearly explains some of the things involved in bank owned transactions that buyers need to be aware of. The show aired last weekend on 990 WEEB's weekly talk show, ALL THINGS MOORE COUNTY, but can still be heard in it's entirety via podcast at www.foreproperties.com/radio.

Responsible watering tips for keeping your lawn green
FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 2012
(ARA) - Does maintaining a lush, healthy and green lawn to enjoy with friends and family seem daunting? It's often a task that is easier said than done for homeowners. But take heart, a simple watering routine can help grass thrive. Natural grass has been cultivated to endure a wide variety of conditions and has the added benefit of being capable of selfrepair. Remember, there's no need to cre-

ate a complex system to maintain your lawn. In fact, it only takes a little planning and monitoring to not only keep your lawn in tip-top shape, but reduce your water use and save money. Are you ready to get your lawn in perfect condition? Grass Seed USA, a coalition of American grass seed farmers, has developed a set of six tips to help homeowners conquer watering fears and get the most out of
their yards. Follow these simple watering tips: 1. Water only when necessary. Many homeowners over water their lawns, which does more harm than good. A simple trick to determine whether your lawn needs watering is to insert a screwdriver into the grass. If it enters the soil easily, your lawn has plenty of water already. If you have trouble getting the screwdriver into the
ground, it is time to give it a drink. 2. Mow grass to a height of 2 to 2.5

inches. Keeping grass slightly taller in hot and dry conditions provides shade to the roots and soil surface, reducing the water lost due to evaporation. 3. Water throughout the season. Grass needs a consistent watering schedule, and starting and stopping a watering pattern can stunt your lawn's growth. This is especially true right after fertilizing. Once you start a routine, stick with it. 4. Allow the soil to dry. A thorough watering once or twice a week is preferable to lightly misting every day. Allowing the soil to dry before watering again encourages the roots to grow deeper into the soil and can help the lawn become drought-tolerant in the future. 5. Make sure you water your lawn, not the air. Adjust your
sprinkler settings to produce larger drops closer to the ground rather than misting in the air. Air currents can easily catch light sprays and keep the water from reaching your grass. 6. Water during cooler hours. Early morning and early evening are the ideal times to water. Cooler air and less wind mean water is absorbed directly into the grass with less moisture lost to evaporation. Watering during the heat of the day can actually scald and burn your grass. For more information on how to keep your lawn healthy year-round, visit www.weseedamerica.com. With a little planning, you'll be enjoying the aesthetic and environmental perks of a cool, lush green lawn in no time.
