The National Association of Realtors (NAR) just launched a super cool new website for homeowners. HouseLogic is designed to be a source of information on all aspects of homeownership including: maintenance, improvement, and how-to’s. This site will also be a good reference tool for general questions about important topics such as home finances, insurance, green improvements, etc. HouseLogic is designed to be user-friendly and you can set up your own account to help you plan and keep track of home projects. Makes me proud to be a member of the National Association of Realtors. Check it out!
Curb appeal refers to the first impression formed of your house from the street by potential buyers. Having the right amount of appeal can literally make the difference between a potential buyer stopping to view the residence or continue driving.
Hi All! It’s Heather again. The Florida Times Union ran an interesting article last week about one man’s quest to visit each of the Jacksonville public parks. He’s documenting his adventures in a blog, www.jaxparx.com. I visited the site today and it’s a nice resource. The site has individual listings for each park and a side function that allows you to search via zip code or area of town. Once you select a park, there’s a paragraph about the history, Mr. Smith’s comments and observations regarding the park, and additional photos. There are nearly 400 public parks in Jacksonville, so this project will keep Mr. Smith busy for quite some time. Revisit the site regularly if the park you’re interested is not listed. You can also suggest which park you’d like him to visit next!
