My sweet Sellers pulled fresh baked chocolate chip cookies out of the oven at 12:55, for a 1:00 open house! I get to work with the NICEST people!

If you are getting ready to sell your home, make sure you have TWO straps on your water heater!

I snagged this photo from Jess Defrees, of Guild Mortgage here in Salem. But it's true! Just this spring I had a sale held up for several days because the appraiser noted there was only ONE strap. The homeowner fixed the second strap that night, and I sent the photos of the repair to the other Broker and to the Mortgage Broker by 8am the following morning, but Underwriting would not approve the loan until the appraiser came back out and verified with his own two eyes that second strap was indeed up.

Two of these little critters stopped by my open house today. I kept trying to tell them about the new windows and updated bath, but all they wanted to know about was the real wood floors and how much space is in the attic...

This a great little starter home. Come check it out!
