BABY PHOTOS: Our New Puppy “Tracker” at 4 Weeks
We interrupt this typical ho-hum Monday afternoon for this breaking news: We have new photographs of “Tracker”!
Normally, we would beg your indulgence for posting personal photographs on our Real Estate blog…but REALLY! Have you ever SEEN a puppy so obviously intelligent and charming???
Here he is, at 4 weeks of age.
Undoubtedly, he is the cutest thing out there, and we thought we would give you a chance to agree…
The lower photos include him posing with his litter mate. “Tracker” is the adorable little guy on the right.
Incidentally, we haven’t yet finalized the spelling of his name. We may end up spelling it “TRAKKER” after all is said and done. Stay tuned for more information the moment it becomes available…

Top 10 Tips for Selling Your Home During the Holidays
We found this terrific list of Tips for Selling Your Home During the Holidays and thought you might appreciate it!
If you are interested in Buying or Selling during this Holiday Season, don’t hesitate to call us. We can help!

- Deck the halls, but don’t go overboard.
Homes often look their best during the holidays, but sellers should be careful not to overdo it on the decor. Adornments that are too large or too many can crowd your home and distract buyers. Also, avoid offending buyers by opting for general fall and winter decorations rather than items with religious themes.
Staging tips for the holidays - Hire a reliable real estate agent.
That means someone who will work hard for you and won’t disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s. Ask your friends and family if they can recommend a listing agent who will go above and beyond to get your home sold. This will ease your stress and give you more time to enjoy the season.
How to choose a great listing agent - Seek out motivated buyers.
Anyone house hunting during the holidays must have a good reason for doing so. Work with your agent to target buyers on a deadline, including people relocating for jobs in your area, investors on tax deadlines, college students and staff, and military personnel, if you live near a military base.
Learn why selling during the holidays is not all bad - Price it to sell.
No matter what time of year, a home that’s priced low for the market will make buyers feel merry. Rather than gradually making small price reductions, many real estate agents advise sellers to slash their prices before putting a home on the market.
Price low to sell high - Make curb appeal a top priority.
When autumn rolls around and the trees start to lose their leaves, maintaining the exterior of your home becomes even more important. Bare trees equal a more exposed home, so touch up the paint, clean the gutters and spruce up the yard. Keep buyers’ safety in mind as well by making sure stairs and walkways are free of snow, ice and leaves.
Tips for winter curb appeal - Take top-notch real estate photos.
When the weather outside is frightful, homebuyers are likely to start their house hunt from the comfort of their homes by browsing listings on the Internet. Make a good first impression by offering lots of flattering, high-quality photos of your home. If possible, have a summer or spring photo of your home available so buyers can see how it looks year-round.
How to take better real estate photos - Create a video tour for the Web.
You’ll get less foot traffic during the holidays, thanks to inclement weather and vacation plans. But shooting a video tour and posting it on the Web may attract house hunters who don’t have time to physically see your home or would rather not drive in a snowstorm.
10 tips for filming your own home tour video - Give house hunters a place to escape from the cold.
Make your home feel cozy and inviting during showings by cranking up the heat, playing soft classical music and offering homemade holiday treats. When you encourage buyers to spend more time in your home, you also give them more time to admire its best features.
Attract buyers with an inviting atmosphere - Offer holiday cheer in the form of financing.
Bah, humbug! Lenders are scrooges these days, but if you’ve got the means, then why not offer a home loan to a serious buyer? You could get a good rate of return on your money.
Learn more about owner financing - Relax — the new year is just around the corner.
The holidays are stressful enough, with gifts to buy, dinners to prepare and relatives to entertain. Take a moment to remind yourself that if you don’t sell now, there’s always next year, which luckily is only a few days away.
