Routine maintenance is part of a homeowner’s journey. Make sure your home is ready for the long haul so you can cruise all summer.

Map your route.
Walk around the property looking for cracks in the driveway, walkways, or patio. Seal and repair before summer storms arrive.

Clear views ahead.
Wash windows and clean gutters to keep everything clear and flowing.

Prevent overheating.
Replace indoor air filters and remove debris around your outdoor AC unit to maximize air flow. Check out more hot tips for a cool summer here.

Handle any hazards.
Trim overgrown tree branches or shrubs and clean up debris left over from the spring thaw.
Time to get ready for summer:

Prep your playlist.
Clean the grill, pool, patio furniture, and other fun outdoor accessories to create a perfect summer oasis.

Don’t let pests catch a ride.
Seal gaps in or around doors and windows to keep pests out. Schedule a pest control service if needed.

A little prep now keeps your home running smoothly all season, so you can enjoy the sunshine without unexpected detours.
If your summer itinerary includes a move to a new home, let’s talk through your financing before you hit the road.

It's that time of year to order peaches. Here is the order form. Call me with any questions. 719-338-3763. Thanks.

WOOHOO and WOW!! It’s (again) time for those amazing, juicy peaches ordered directly from C & R
Orchard in Palisade, CO on the Western Slope. Instead of ‘enduring’ peaches from the store that ripen
enroute, why not truly enjoy an awesome peach that is tree-ripened, picked, boxed, and immediately
delivered. If you love a great peach, look no further! According to the orchard, they expect an excellent crop
again this year!
This is an annual fundraiser organized by agent, Lars Gronhagen, on behalf of ERA Shields Real Estate, for the
benefit of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Funds raised go to MDA for the purpose of sending
MDA clients (young and teenage) to the annual MDA Muscle Camp held up in Empire, CO. The camp gives the
clients (ages vary from year-year) a chance to relax and have fun for a week while giving their family and
caregivers a much-needed and well-deserved break. You’re probably going to get peaches during the
summer season anyway, so why not support a great organization at the same time! Have you tried these
peaches? They give ‘juicy’ a whole new meaning! Tell your clients, family, friends, and neighbors.
Box prices:
9 lb. box - $32 (approximately 16-18 softball-sized peaches)
18 lb. box - $42 (approximately 30-32 softball-sized peaches)
Payment Method: 1) Cash, 2) Checks made payable to ERA Shields or 3) Venmo (to Lars G Gronhagen).
In the memo line on checks and Venmo, please put: for MDA peaches 2025.
Please complete the order form at the bottom of this notice and return it, with your payment, (OR WRITE
‘VENMO’), to my (Lars Gronhagen) inbox at the South office no later than Wednesday, August 13th. Your
order will be ready for pick up at my home (address to be provided) near the ERA Shields South Office on
Sunday, August 24 th .
