Housing Goes Green
Many conservation efforts are most easily incorporated at the time of initial construction, however some are easily adapted either as a stand-alone project or as part of routine equipment replacement. For some examples of how you can update your home, check out our newsletter.
Happy New Year!
We hope your holidays were filled with friends, family, and fun. Cheers to the New Year! May it be as wonderful (or even better!) as the last year.
A little bit about real estate...
Strange and often difficult--that just about sums up this real estate market.
Closings are still happening and our production continues to rank among top agents locally and state-wide, but we're working harder than ever to keep up with continual changes and unusual requests from mortgage lenders. We've never felt more essential in helping buyers and sellers navigate this crazy world of real estate.
Still, every neighborhood, every house, every transaction is different. Don't just assume that what you see in the news automatically applies to you. It may not.
If you have questions about what this means for you, call us. If you're trying to figure out what to do--even if you're anticipating a move a year or more down the road--call us. We specialize in guiding people through the decision making process. You don't have to be ready to buy or sell for us to help--it is critical to have a plan.
And a lot of Christmas Cheer...
We may have started something last year when we hired Santa to visit our friends. He called US this year asking to return! Seems he loves y'all as much as we do!!
Last Christmas, friends on our mailing list could schedule their very own visit from Santa Claus, at their homes, civic clubs, church, or special event. This Christmas, Santa decided to make a special appearance at our office, and took photos for Christmas cards. You can check out those pictures on our Facebook page, Facebook.com/Hetricks. To get on our mailing list for special offers (like visits from Santa Claus!), send us an email or give us a call.
Social Media and Technology...
Communication has never been more important than today, especially in the world of real estate. We stay current on rapidly evolving technology and integrate it with time-tested communication techniques. Social networking has taken on new meaning. All age groups stay in touch via Facebook and Twitter, and smart phones are now mini-computers, connecting us to the internet wherever we go.
Our marketing materials now include QR Codes that you can scan with your smart phone to go to our mobile website to see photos and virtual tours of our listings. It's safe, easy and fun. Using your phone's bar code scanner, scan this one and it will take you to our Facebook page. You can also follow us on Twitter @BillHetrick and on Google+.
Give to the Troops
The Hetrick Team were recently inspired to create care packages for the personnel aboard the USS John C. Stennis. Read the story that moved us and see the list of donations. It's incredible how even a small gift can mean so much to these amazing men and women who bravely serve our country. If you would like to donate items for our next care package, contact Marilyn, our projects coordinator.
