Professionally SpeakingDear Community,

With the changingreal estate marketand ever changingguidelines for obtain-ing a home mort-gage, it is importantfor buyers to be pre-pared financiallywhen they buy ahome.

Money matters. Ifyou are consideringa mortgage, shore up your out-standing credit. Get a copy ofyour credit report. You canobtain a free copy each year ofyour credit report at www.annu-alcreditreport.com, or call toll-free: 877-322-8228. Before youstart looking at property youshould get pre-approved andhave a pre-approval letter fromyour lender. Determine howlarge your mortgage can be.This saves you time and grief oflooking at homes you cannotafford.

Explore different loan optionsto determine what is best foryou. Talk with several loan offi-cers to determine the loan prod-uct that best for your financialsituation. Don’t be house poorbut double and triple check tobe sure you haven’t maxedyourself out of the cost of yourhome. Remember items likemoving expenses, maintenance,insurance, home repairs, and

association fees, etc.Have a contingencyfund for home emer-gencies.

Decide what (andwhere) you want tobuy. Prioritize yourneeds (i.e., location,schools and ameni-ties). Consider yourre-sale value. Even ifyou don’t have

school-aged children, a strongschool district is a good thingand adds value. A MooreCounty Realtor, through theMLS, can provide you with areport on neighborhood qualityof life, schools, home values,and comparisons with otherareas.

Most importantly, working witha professional REALTOR canhelp you work through the mort-gage process in addition toidentifying properties within yourcriteria. Consider your Realtoras your trusted advisor on prob-ably your largest lifetime invest-ment. It pays to have someonelooking out for your interests.

I would like to invite you to toursome of the great new homeproducts on the Moore CountyParade of Homes tour thisweekend. Call your localRealtor® for more information orgo to www.mchb.com.

Even if you have no intentionof selling you home this year,regular maintenance is essen-tial for preserving your proper-ty’s appearance and value. Ifyou do plan to sell, your well-maintained home should fetcha higher asking price whileavoiding last minute repairsbefore closing.

This spring concentrate onthese important fix-ups:

• Inspect gutters and down-spouts and check to see thatsplash blocks are properlypositioned. To see if theweight of snow, ice and wetleaves has twisted yourhome’s gutters out of shape,

pour a large container of waterinto each one. If water poolsin one spot or flows away fromthe downspout, the gutter mayneed to repair or replacement.

• All homes settle a bit eachyear, which can stress thefoundation. Look carefully forhairline cracks and repairthem immediately with theproper sealant.

• If your home has a brickexterior, inspect the bricks andmortar for any signs of wearor damage. If your home haswood or vinyl siding, look forloose panels and trim. Inspectthe soffit and facia below thegutters for rot and insects.

• Examine all doors and win-dows for warping, and recaulkall seams every two years.

• On the roof, look for miss-ing, loose or cracked shingles.Areas of mold or evidence ofmoisture accumulation maymean that water is not drain-ing properly toward the gut-ters.

• Decide if your deck needsa fresh coat of stain or preser-vative, and tap in any protrud-ing nails.

• Inspect all visible pipes forleaks, drips or corrosion. Alsolook for water stains on theceilings and walls that couldindicate roof or window leaks.

For a free consultation to dis-cuss which type of mortgageloan will work best for you, callVictoria Spannaus at WellsFargo Home Mortgage at (800)741-7813 or 910-692-6225.

MilitaryAdvantage Program at


Although most home buyersneed to sign sales contracts bythe end of April to qualify forthe $8,000 first-time and $6,500repeat home buyer tax credits,qualified active military service-men and women have an addi-tional year to take advantage ofthese great incentives.

Under a legislative provision

targeting active members of themilitary, the Foreign Serviceand the intelligence communi-ties, the tax credit was extend-ed for one year beyond the cur-rent deadlines of April 30, 2010for a binding sales contract andJune 30, 2010 for settlementand closing.

The provision only applies to

home buyers in the abovementioned groups who haveserved on official extendedduty for 90 days or more out-side the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2009to April 30, 2010.

Also, service members whomust sell their home becauseof official extended duty areexcluded from a rule thatrequires buyers to repay the

credit if they move out of theirhome within three years.

More information on the spe-cial provision for military serv-ice members can also be foundat www.federalhousingtaxcred-it.com.

Decades ago many of usmight have rolled our eyes atthe notion of Earth Day…Visions of tree huggers, gra-nola, and boomer hippies likelycame to mind. No longer asthe Green movement has gonemainstream, baby boomersenter retirement, and virtually allproducts and services attemptto become environmentallyfriendly.

Every year, April 22 marks theworldwide celebration of EarthDay. In 2010, Earth Day willcommemorate its 40th anniver-sary and more than half a billionpeople are expected to partici-pate in this year’s events. TheEarth Day Network hopes tohave thousands marches,parades, lectures and cleanupprojects around the globe. Youcan find a list of events in yourarea at www.earthday.net.

You don’t have to wait untilApril 22 to incorporate the con-cepts of Earth Day in your ownhome, however. These simpleenvironmentally-friendly house-hold suggestions can make you

an Earth Day advocate all yearlong. The EnvironmentalProtection Agency estimatesthat the average family of fouruses 400 gallons of water everyday. To combat this, the agencysuggests that you:

Don't let the water run whileshaving or brushing teeth.

Take short showers instead oftub baths.

Keep drinking water in therefrigerator instead of letting thefaucet run until the water iscool.

Scrape, rather than rinse, dish-es before loading into the dish-washer; wash only full loads.

Wash only full loads of laundryor use the appropriate waterlevel or load size selection onthe washing machine.

Repair all leaks (a leaky toiletcan waste 200 gallons a day).

Water the lawn or garden dur-ing the coolest part of the day(early morning is best).

Group plants according totheir water use so you don’toverwater. Check with yourlocal extension service or nurs-

eries for advice.Set sprinklers to water the

lawn or garden only — not thestreet or sidewalk.

Use soaker hoses or trickleirrigation systems for trees andshrubs.

Keep your yard healthy —remove dead grass from yourlawn, use mulch, and set your

mower on a high setting toencourage grass growth andeliminate weeds naturally.

Sweep the driveway and walk-ways outside instead of using ahose to spray it down.

A few behavioral changes inyour water usage can make abig difference to the environ-ment and to your pocketbook.

SOUTHERN PINES, NC,MARCH 8, 2010 — A contingentof 17 real estate associates fromthe Keller Williams / PinehurstMarket Center attended KellerWilliams Realty’s annual con-vention, Family Reunion, in NewOrleans, La., Feb. 20-24.

The focal point of the eventwas the current state of the realestate market and the strategiesand tactics that agents mustemploy to sustain and growtheir businesses.

Terry Rainer, Team Leader ofthe Pinehurst Market Centersaid “This event is unmatched inour industry. The benefits to ourteam come from the incredibleeducation and the opportunityto network with the best of thebest from all across NorthAmerica.”

The Pinehurst Market Centerwas recognized in New Orleansas the #1 Launch Market Centerfor North and South Carolina in2009, and is on track to be the#1 Home Run LaunchingMarket Center for all of KellerWilliams Realty International for2010. This means the PinehurstMarket Center is leading theentire North American continentas the most profitable KellerWilliams office to open during2009.

During his annual State of theCompany address, CEO MarkWillis noted Keller WilliamsRealty continued to out-performthe rest of the real estate indus-try, citing a number of independ-ent benchmarks and awards:

Keller Williams was rated the#1 Real Estate franchise byEntrepreneur Magazine.

The 2009 Real Trends 500Report ranked Keller WilliamsRealty as the #1 franchise in:Total # of Associates

Total # of Sides per Office

Total # of Brokers representedin the list

All of these, for the 2nd year ina row!

Keller Williams Realty is theonly major franchise with posi-tive growth in both the

total # of associates and thetotal # of sides.

The 2009 RIS Media PowerBroker Survey ranked KellerWilliams Realty #1 in both thetotal # of associates and thetotal # of closed sides.

In December, 2009, StefanSwanepoel, a leading industryanalyst and observer, conductedan independent survey, andfound Keller Williams Realty tobe the “most recognizablebrand” of all major real estatecompanies.

J.D. Power & Associatesawarded Keller Williams Realtyas “Highest Overall Satisfactionfor HomeBuyers” – for the 2ndyear in a row!

The 2010 Swanepoel TrendsReport named Keller WilliamsRealty as the #1 Trendsetter ofthe Year for 2009!

Addressing the turmoil in thereal estate market in 2009,Chairman and Co-Founder ofKeller Williams Realty, GaryKeller, urged attendees at hisannual Vision Speech to masterthe markets of the moment,focus on business development,and get lean by cutting expens-es.

He pointed out that in 2009,housing affordability was themost favorable year on record,helped largely by historically lowinterest rates. As a result, USsales increased 5%, which wasthe first gain since 2005 and the10th highest annual activity levelever recorded. For agentswho are determined to standstrong and build market share

during the shift, opportunitiesare still wide open. His advice tothese agents: “Press On.Persistence and determinationare the most important qualitiesyou can bring to bear on behalfof your buyers, your sellers, andyour own businesses.”

To assist agents in the increas-ingly challenging and competi-tive real estate landscape,Family Reunion included morethan 120 breakout sessions –many focused on specific tacticsfor tackling challenging marketconditions, including: SellerPricing Strategies, Living YourGoals/Business Planning,Financing Solutions, NegotiatingWin-Win Agreements, Workingwith Distressed Properties,Marketing Luxury Homes,Harnessing the Power of SocialMedia, Building an EffectiveWebsite, Time Blocking & LeadGeneration, CommercialBusiness Development, SellerStaging Strategies, and WealthBuilding.

“There is no way you can com-pete with an agent who hasbeen to this type of training – itcovers everything from your atti-tude, to your finances, to how torun your business better …,”said Shannon Stites, a KellerWilliams agent in Seven Lakes.

“It is by far the best investment Imake in my business, andalways pays for itself severaltimes over.”

Pete Mace, another KellerWilliams agent in SouthernPines, added, “You simply can’tafford not to go.”

Keller Williams Realty plans tohost its 2011 Family Reunion inAnaheim, CA, Feb. 21-25.

To earn the ENERGY STAR, a homemust meet strict guidelines for energyefficiency set by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.These homes are at least 15% moreenergy efficient than homes built tothe 2004 International ResidentialCode (IRC), and include additionalenergy-saving features that typicallymake them 20–30% more efficientthan standard homes. At STEWARTCONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPMENT,we have made a commitment to build100% Energy Star®, so that ourhomeowners can enjoy the efficiencybenefits they deserve, added peaceof mind, and increased environmentalprotection. The differences ourEnergy Star® homes make speak forthemselves.

ADDED CONFIDENCE Home buying is complex enough

without having to know all the details

of energy-efficient construction.Instead, look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR to easily iden-tify homes that are truly energy effi-cient. Find the house of your dreamsand enjoy peace of mind knowingthat it also meets rigorous energy effi-ciency guidelines set by EPA and ver-ified by an independent Home EnergyRater.

LOWER OWNERSHIP COST Compared with standard construc-

tion, ENERGY STAR qualified homesuse substantially less energy for heat-ing, cooling, and water heating—delivering $200 to $400 in annual sav-ings. Although these energy savingsmay seem small relative to the cost ofmonthly mortgage payments, no onelikes to waste money. And over the 7or 8 years that a typical buyer lives ina home, it can add up to thousandsof dollars saved. Additional savings

on maintenance can also be signifi-cant.

BETTER PERFORMANCE Properly installed energy-efficient

improvements deliver better protec-tion against cold, heat, drafts, mois-ture, pests, pollution, and noise. AnENERGY STAR qualified home helpsensure consistent temperaturesbetween rooms, improved indoor airquality, and greater durability.

SMARTER INVESTMENT To date, more than 6,500 home

builders have partnered with EPA toconstruct nearly 940,000 ENERGYSTAR qualified homes. By 2010, morethan 1 million homes are expected toearn the ENERGY STAR. The trend isclear. By choosing a home with theENERGY STAR, you can be confidentthat it will have an increasingly valuedfeature when the time comes to sell.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Energy used in our homes often

comes from the burning of fossil fuelsat power plants. Because ENERGYSTAR qualified homes use less ener-gy, they help prevent greenhouse gasemissions—an added benefit fortoday’s environmentally-consciousconsumers looking for “green” choic-

es. Greater energy efficiency helps us

all make the most of our energyresources, mitigates the impact ofhigh energy prices, decreases theneed for new power plants, lowersour reliance on energy imports, andreduces the emissions of greenhousegases and air pollutants at thesource.

Look for the ENERGY STAR labelon the breaker box of your nexthome. If you are considering buildinga new home, contact STEWARTCONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPMENTat 910-673-1929 to ensure that theENERGY STAR® label is in your newhome!

(ARA) - Every few years wepaint them, and they sure domake a convenient spot onwhich to hang our flat panelTVs. But how much do we reallythink about our walls?

Walls are, arguably, the largestdecorator element in yourhome. Many of us, however,rarely venture beyond usingthem as background for our fur-niture and accessories. With alittle courage and creativity,walls can be turned into a bolddesign statement in your home.And you don't need the adviceof a designer or the budget of ahome-improvement show tolook at your walls in a wholenew light.

Here are some hot trends andideas to consider if you're think-ing of redesigning your walls:

* More than ever, Americansare aware we're all part of aglobal community and our pridein that fact can be seen in thetrend toward using large-scalemaps as wall art. Maps canreflect our heritage or interestsand are appropriate in virtuallyany room of the house. LoveItalian cuisine? Consider plac-

ing a map of Tuscany in yourbreakfast nook. Proud of yourAfrican heritage? Grace a familyroom wall with a floor-to-ceilingmap of the continent. It's easierthan ever to find and installmaps, too, thanks to wallpapermurals like those found atMuralsYourWay.com.

* Pictures may be worth athousand words, but one hottrend turns words into graphicart to grace your walls. A simplephrase or quote dear to yourheart can be turned into agraphic element in your room ifyou render it in decorative scriptand colors that enhance youroverall theme. The quote notonly makes a visually appealingfocal point for the room, it tellsvisitors something about whoyou are as well.

* When you think about theimportance of fabric in a room,are you just thinking furnitureand window treatments? Wallscan benefit from a fabric treat-ment as well. Fabric can be anexciting substitute for wallpaper.Or, it can add punch to decoras a piece of textile art, like atapestry.

* Wall murals continue to bea favorite decorating tool ofinterior designers and home-owners alike, and it's easy tosee why. Few wall treatmentsmake as definitive a statementas a mural, and thanks to mod-ern technology wallpapermurals are easier than ever toinstall and maintain. They fit invirtually every room setting andyou'll find thousands of designson Web sites likewww.MuralsYourWay.com. For afew hundred dollars you canchoose from an array of themes

- travel, sports, nature and more- or have your own custommural created from a favoritephotograph.

* Wall color will always beimportant. Fortunately, sometrends also show signs ofdesign longevity, like usinginteresting neutrals on walls tocreate a pleasing, complemen-tary background for your decor.Designers agree that gray is thenew beige, and the most inter-esting color is one that mixesthe tones gray and beige to cre-ate the ultimate blend of warmand cool for a neutral.

* Across our culture, therecession has Americans doingless with more. An emergingdesign trend incorporates a fewbig, bold pieces of wall decor inan otherwise minimalist settingto create maximum impact witha minimum number of pieces.

* Our penchant for all things"green" is showing up indesigns that evoke the naturalworld and bring nature insideour homes. You can achievethis with a simple print of a for-est, some artfully framed bam-boo shoots or an eco-friendlyart piece made from recycledglass bottles and reclaimedwood.

(ARA) - Wood floors are abeloved part of a home, and arealso a great investment that canboost your home's value by upto $10,000, according to theHardwood Information Center.

The wood care experts whomake Murphy Oil Soap havesome advice on how to keepyour floors looking shiny andbeautiful.

* The first key to maintainingyour wood floors is to knowwhat type of finish you have.

Most wood floors installedafter the 1960s are finished withpolyurethane, which hardensinto layers of solid plasticsheets on the surface of thewood.

To find out, scratch the surfaceof the wood with a coin in aninconspicuous area. If the finishflakes off, a finish like varnish orshellac was probably used. Ifyou think you have wax floors,apply a few drops of water andwait 10 minutes. If white spotsappear under the droplets, thenyour floor has a wax finish. A

polyurethane finish will not flakeafter being scratched with acoin, and white spots will notappear after exposure to waterdroplets.

* A finish with a dull and life-less appearance can usually berevived with a good cleaning toremove accumulated dirt. Forpolyurethane-finished floors,use a cleaner like Murphy OilSoap for cleaning. To give yourfloors the best shine, make sureyou follow diluting directionsproperly when using the con-centrated version of Murphy OilSoap.

* Other ways to help preserveyour wood floor shine includeregularly sweeping and vacu-uming your floors weekly; plac-ing area rugs in high traffic loca-tions; using floor protector padsor soft felt on the bottoms of fur-niture legs; setting a humidifieror dehumidifier to maintain alevel of 30 to 50 percent humidi-ty in the home; and protectingyour floors from direct sunlight.
