Have you ever driven to an Open House but just kept on driving after seeing it from the street? A buyer’s first impression of a home has a significant impact on its salability. Consider this: Research shows that when you meet another person, you make eleven major decisions about that person in the first seven seconds of meeting. A similar correlation can be applied to selling your home: the buyer makes decisions about your home and its value within seconds of seeing it from the street.

Are the home numbers old and antiquated, or newly purchased from Restoration Hardware? Are there cracks in the driveway, or newly-lain concrete? Does the walkway leading up to the house have bright, colorful flowers alongside it?

It’s fun to go online and see what others are doing to boost their home’s curb appeal. Check out www.pinterest.com and type “curb appeal” into the search bar. You’ll find hundreds of innovative ideas and pictures from people all over the world right at your fingertips. If you’re thinking of selling your house, or if you’d just like to upgrade its curb appeal, feel free to email me or give me a call. As an experienced agent, I’ve walked through many homes and have lots of ideas on improving first impressions.

Pinterest is an online pinboard.

Debbie Ford passed away this week. She was a brilliant woman with a huge commitment to make a difference in the world. She will definitely be missed but her spirit will be cheering us all on! This is my favorite quotes of hers:

She asked in her book,The Right Questions, "Will this choice propel me towards an inspiring future or will it keep me stuck in the past?"

5 Great Daily Habits for the New Year

Here's a fresh idea for the start of the New Year. Instead of trying to improve ourselves by trying to follow another set of New Year's resolutions, some life coaches and self-improvement experts suggest that establishing a few good habits on a daily basis can be much more effective. Good habits, practiced regularly, eventually help us grow in the right direction.

Following are five great habits that can upgrade every area of our lives:

1. Keep moving.
To improve your physical health, you don't have to join a gym or start training for marathons (unless that's what you absolutely love doing!). Just get yourself moving, every day. Instead of staring at a TV or computer screen for a couple of hours, get up and go for a 20-minute walk. Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Walk to some places you usually drive to. In nice weather, have a meeting with someone while taking them on a walk through the park. This was the favorite kind of one-on-one meeting for Apple founder Steve Jobs.

2. Stay positive.
Negative inputs sap our emotional energy, putting us in a mindset that can make it harder to succeed. Spot the negative influences in your life and eliminate them, or if they can't be avoided, at least don't indulge them. A brief list: 24-hour bad news channels; impossible deadlines; traffic; toxic people. If that radio talk show host or TV interviewer sets you on edge, why listen to them?

3. Work your mind.
Mental exercise is good for you too. Just make it a point to learn something new every day. It can be as small as someone's name or as big as a part of history you've always been curious about. Learn a new word from a list of most frequently misused or misspelled words. Figure out how to be proficient with every last function on your smartphone. Just learn one a day.

4. Take time out.
Even during your busiest day, don't forget to take a few minutes out and enjoy some quiet time. Don't open emails, and let your phone go to voice mail (OK, you can check Caller ID if you're expecting a really important call!). Turn off your smartphone, tablet, and computer. For 15 minutes, don't work at all. Just listen to your favorite music, read something for fun, stare out the window and daydream, or do whatever it is that relaxes you. The idea is to quiet your mind and refresh your disposition before heading back into the fray.

5. Reach out to someone.
Each day, try to connect to one person you haven't engaged in a while. That could be a college friend, someone you swapped business cards with on an airplane or at a trade show, or any acquaintance who's been on your mind lately. Pick up the phone, shoot off a quick email, or tweet them. Let them know you're thinking about them. Even better, share something that might be of value to them. We really can't do everything on our own, we do need each other. Reach out to one person daily and you may be astonished with the results.
