MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2011

By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President

Speed Up the Sale of Your Home in a Slow Market

Trying to sell a house during the winter months in a down market can be difficult, but there are several things you can do to improve its marketability. By expending a bit of effort before it goes on the market, you can ensure that your home presents well, stands out from the crowd and doesn’t turn off potential buyers so

that you can sell quickly…and at the best price.

Tone Down Personality Your bookshelves may be filled with Pulitzer-Prize winners and your collection of Americana figurines may reflect your personal interests, but to home buyers it looks busy and cluttered, and may distract them from truly see-

ing your home’s unique architectural features and spacious rooms. Also consider whether family pictures help or hinder a sale; future home owners may not be able to look past your kids’ smiling faces plastered all over the walls and see themselves building their own future in your home.

Since you hope to move soon anyway, go ahead and box them up and put them in storage in advance of the open house or showing.

While that red accent wall opposite the lime green fireplace perfectly ties in with your ultra modern furniture, a potential buyer at your open house may be turned off immediately and decide that the entire house doesn’t reflect

their style.

Consider painting walls a neutral color such as beige or taupe.

Don’t Burden the Buyer with Repairs If there are problem areas in your home, get them fixed before the showing. When prospective buyers tour the house and see leak stains on the ceiling or peeling paint, they will also see future work and assume that bigger maintenance and repair issues are lurking behind those small problems.

This is particularly true in kitchens and bathrooms, which are often the two rooms that make or break a sale. The expenses you incur on the front end sprucing up your

home will be cheaper than the profits you could lose by having to lower the price to meet buyer demand.

Maximize Exposure Lastly, take advantage of new technology to find unique ways to market your house. Use YouTube.com, a video sharing website, to introduce yourself and your house for free. Take home shoppers on a virtual tour and tell them about its uniqueness and strengths from a firstperson point of view.

Use Internet social networking sites such as Facebook to create a Web link with a profile of your home.

Include pictures and a description of your

home’s features. Email the link to your friends and ask them to forward it on to their network of contacts.

Be sure that you are using traditional marketing techniques to your best advantage.

When photographing your home for promotional purposes, invest in a wide-angle lens for your camera so that rooms appear bigger and in proportion when they are displayed on Internet home listing sites or in marketing flyers. If you decide to create a virtual tour, look for professionals who will be able to film and upload your video using the best techniques and technology.

For more helpful hints, contact your contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992.

Easy ways to create a dream bedroom for your child

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2011

(ARA) - Just about every child wishes for a dream bedroom, but it takes inspiration to transform four white walls into a fairytale princess room or tree house hideaway. Fortunately, you don't have to be an interior designer or skilled craftsman to become a hero. A little family compromising, combined with some simple painting techniques, can go a long way in creating a fun, personalized design that kids love - and parents can live with over time.

Choose kid-friendly colors Paint is one of the easiest and most dramatic ways to transform a room.

Start by choosing a color scheme that appeals to your child's interests.

There's a wide array of colors and creative design ideas that appeal to kids.

One option is the Kids' Colors collections at SherwinWilliams stores, which offer four color-coordinated palettes, paired with

THE PILOT — SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.

easy instruction guides, for creating delightful, age-appropriate designs. In all, the 120 professionally selected colors fall into four age groups, from infants to teenagers, with color schemes that can be adapted as the child grows.

The techniques are as endless as your imagination. Try adding whimsical polka dots to a girl's room, create a checkerboard effect for an avid chess player, or paint a faux racecar track that zooms around the bedroom wall, across the floor and back up the wall again, for a young sports enthusiast.

More design inspiration is available at www.fisherprice.com.

Using instructions and a few simple tools such as painters' tape, minirollers and a tape measure, you can confidently add visual interest and make even a simple room look incredibly special. Visit www.sherwinwilliams.com/do_it_y

ourself.

Create storage to complement the design Keep your child's bedroom beautiful by incorporating storage elements that will blend with your design and help keep the space clutter-free. For example, try adding a bed skirt to hide a couple of slide-out storage containers for organizing anything from small toys to multiple pairs of tennis shoes.

Place woven baskets around the room to create attractive storage in plain sight. These organizational elements can work well in rooms for kids of any age.

Coordinate colors with patterns The nursery is another room that lends itself to the dreams of both little ones and their parents. One way to create a cohesive design is to match paint colors with the patterns in baby bedding fashions.

For example, a collection of SherwinWilliams colors is

available to coordinate with popular patterns from the Fisher-Price Baby Gear line of bassinettes, baby seats, play yards and other nursery items. The palette, available at more than 3,300 SherwinWilliams stores nationwide, includes hues that have been hand-selected by color experts to help tie a nursery design together.

PAGE D5

To round out the baby's room, try adding rugs, accessories or draperies that pick up the colors used on the walls and in the bedding patterns.

Choose bedroom furniture that will endure Select furniture that can transition to a new bedroom design as your child grows older. For example, with just a change of pillows, a

nursery rocker can become part of a cozy reading nook later for a gradeschooler who loves to curl up and read alone. Bunk beds that serve as a pretend fort now can become traditional twin beds later. Even a frilly canopy bed can become a grown-up fourposter later by simply removing the canopy framework and fabric cover.

Green tips for tackling fall lawn cleanup

PAGE D6

(ARA) - Every fall, the wind picks up, the leaves fall to the ground and the grass gets a little browner.

It's the time of year when the weather is unpredictable and storms can make even the neatest yards a mess.

Remington, a leading manufacturer of battery and electric power tools, has some tips to help make your fall cleanup greener and easier: Clearing leaves from your yard can be a daunting task, but it's an important one to keep your yard alive and green come spring. Using an electric leaf blower or blower vacuum versus using a rake or a heavy gas blower can help reduce the effort.

While electric leaf blowers are limited in mobility, they require less hassle.

If you find more than just leaves in your yard after a storm, you may consider doing most of the cleanup yourself using a chainsaw, such as the RM1415A Limb N Trim, a 14-inch chainsaw that's ideal for cleanup of fallen

branches and logs less than 13 inches in diameter. Keep in mind there are many safety concerns to take into account when using a chainsaw to clean up the mess. Here are a few tips on how to use a chainsaw to help keep you safe this season: * First, read the operator's manual and follow suggested guidelines to remove fallen trees. * Ensure the saw's chain is properly tensioned before each use and all fasteners, controls and safety features are functioning properly. * Make sure the bar and chain are always lubricated to prevent the saw from wearing out or cutting poorly.

Check the bar and chain oil reservoir frequently to make sure it's full or it will ruin your chain. * Start the saw while standing on the ground and always hold the handle securely. * Clear debris and small tree limbs from the chainsaw's path, and beware of nails and other metal before cutting. * Avoid saw "kick-

back" to prevent a serious chainsaw injury.

Never let the tip of the bar come in contact with anything. Always reference the operator's manual for proper chain saw operation.

Here are a few other tips to prepare your yard for fall: * Cut your grass short right before the season ends. * Don't forget to water. Early in the morning is the best time in order to avoid evaporation and disease development. * Fertilize in order to maintain root health and replenish the nutrients that were lost during the hot summer. * Once the watering season is over, make sure to drain and store your garden hose and turn off the water supply to keep your pipes from freezing. * If you use a battery-powered mower, make sure to remove the battery before putting it away. Also, store the battery on the charger to keep it from slowly draining over the winter, which can damage the battery over time.
