Local Businessman Shares How to Give Back

August 27th, 2010 · General Interest

Gary York, a local entrepreneur from Pilot Mountain, spoke at the Winston Salem Regional Board of Realtors Luncheon yesterday. Mr. York, is the owner of York Oil, Neighbors Convenience Stores, Radio Station WIFM 100.9 in Elkin, NC, as well as other business interests. His topic was “Using Your Gifts”. The topic was very inspiring as he shared ways to give back to the community and build lasting relationships.  Gary also reminded us all to do the small things extra-ordinarily well and good results will follow.

Winston Salem Dog Park – Washington Park

August 8th, 2010 · Community, Winston Salem

My dogs, like most, love going on walks. If they hear the leash or collars rattle, then it’s on! They are barking and jumping around like they are on a pogo stick. Dogs are allowed at all Winston Salem parks if they are on a leash. Washington Park, however, has a great dog park and you are allowed to “unleash” your pooch.

Home Staging and Curb Appeal for Dummies

August 8th, 2010 · Humor

If you are trying to sell your home, it’s important that it is staged well and has nice curb appeal. That’s not easy for everyone, so we wanted to give sellers a 5 tips to help. So take note and use these strategies to improve the chance of selling your home. These are so easy, that even a dummy can do it.

1. Make Your Home an Animal House.

Many first time home buyers have just graduated from college. And we’ve all missed college life at some point, so this strategy will appeal to many home buyers. Besides, what were you going to do with all of those stuffed animals your kids have outgrown?

That's one craaa-zy "Animal House"!

2. Plant Some Fresh Flowers
Freshen up the outside with some fresh flowers.

3. Fix Up Around The House

It always helps to fix anything that is broken around the house. The best thing to do is call a handy man and have him fix those items. However, if funds are tight, then at least get out the duct tape. As you can see below, you can use it to fix anything!

Duct Tape Fat Man Butt Crack

Are you serious!?!

4. Get Rid of Offensive Odors by Baking a Cake or Lighting Some Candles

This is a great tip when you have a showing scheduled. A scented candle or freshly baked cake always makes a home more inviting.

Nothing like the smell of deer cake.

pabst blue ribbon candles

Scented candles are great to cover up Dad's farts.

5. If your home is vacant, fill it with mannequins to make it feel like a real family lives there.

Well, we said this was so easy a dummy could do it, so here’s the proof.

home staging for dummies (literally)

Dummies can really make a home "feel like a home". Especially if it has a Santa hat on.

Funny Home Staging

Dummies with feather boas make a home feel "sexy."

If you feel like these strategies are just too much for you to handle, and you want the help of a real estate professional, give me call, text, email, come by the office, or send me a note by carrier pigeon.  It really doesn’t matter to me how you contact me.  I’M AVAILABLE…for real estate transactions that is…please no solicitation from eHarmony, Match.com, Passion, or any other dating site members.  :D

Exit Realty Pays $200 Million in Single Level Residuals

June 30th, 2010 · Exit Realty, Real Estate Agents, Real Estate Careers, Real Estate Companies

EXIT Realty Pays $200 Million in Single Level Residuals

EXIT Realty Corp. International announced earlier this month that it has paid $200 Million in single level residuals to its associates across North America.

Founded in Canada in 1996 and expanding to the U.S. in 1999, EXIT Realty is a proven real estate business model that supplies multiple sources of income – for agents, security, stability and direction; for agents’ families, security in the form of beneficiary and retirement residuals. As a reward for assisting in the growth of the company, EXIT associates earn residual income equivalent to 10% of the gross commission of agents referred into the EXIT system anywhere in North America. When an associate retires, this 10% residual continues at the rate of 7%. These retirement residuals are further enhanced by continuing to sponsor agents into the EXIT system. The residuals continue after death to the associate’s beneficiary at 5%.

Of this milestone, Founder and CEO Steve Morris had this to say in a bulletin to sales reps across the continent, “This is truly a fabulous plateau to surpass and my special congratulations go out to each and every one of you for all your hard work to make this possible.”

If you are considering changing brokers, jobs, or looking to start a new career, consider Exit Realty. It’s real estate re-invented.
For more information regarding a career with Exit Realty and an opportunity to earn more than 100% of your commissions, please contact us here.
