The Clocks Fall Back November 6!

Hello,

Just wanted to reach out to you this week and remind you that Sunday, November 6, Daylight Saving Time ends. Don’t forget to roll back that clock an hour on Saturday night or Sunday morning.

I also like to use the time change to remind me to perform some basic home maintenance tasks.
Perhaps this list will help you as well:

• Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Test batteries and replace.

• Interior Caulking: Inspect caulking around tubs, showers, and sinks; replace any if it is deteriorating.

• HVAC: Change filters, if required.

• Toilet: Check for leaks and water run-on.

• Garbage Disposal: Tighten drain connections and fasteners.

• Dryer: Vacuum lint from ducts and surrounding areas.

•Washer: Clean water inlet filters; check hoses and replace them if they are leaking.

• Wiring: Check for frayed cords and wires; repair or replace them as needed.

• Range/Stove Hood: Wash fan blades and housing.

A little regular maintenance can save thousands down the road when you decide to list your home.

Hope you’re well, and enjoy that “extra hour” of sleep!

We are participating in the Realtor’s® Nationwide Open House Weekend, Saturday, June 4th and Sunday, June 5th, 2011.

Open houses, open doors to buying opportunities. That’s the promise of the 2011 REALTORS® Nationwide Open House Weekend. REALTORS® throughout the Greater Milwaukee area will be participating in the event highlighting the benefits of homeownership, including:

• Historically Low Interest Rates
• Wide Selection on Homes in All Price Ranges
• Low Prices
• Tax Advantages to Ownership

We will hold open houses and be available to have one-on-one conversations regarding the local market with future homeowners. The purpose of the Nationwide Open House is to start a discussion between REALTORS® and the public regarding homeownership, their local community, and what options (buying vs. selling, downsizing, etc.) are right for potential buyers and sellers.

First-time buyers are especially encouraged to take advantage of this event and speak to a REALTOR® as a first step toward homeownership.

Stop-by one of our Open Houses:
Move-in Ready Ranch 6/4/11 1:00-2:30
Spacious Brick Ranch 6/5/11 12:00-1:30
Classic Bungalow with Modern Flair

We look forward to seeing and talking with you.
