Useful information from Ms. Tristian Barnes, CFM - Floodplain Administrator City of Norfolk. Most of federally declared disasters in
the last 5 years have involved flooding.

Homeowners and renters in affected areas
should purchase separate flood insurance and the cost depends on the likelihood that one’s property will flood 🌊

The top ten steps to prepare for a flood are:
1. Know your flood hazard
2. Insure your property
3. Protect yourself and family
4. Protect your property
5. Build responsibly
6. Protect natural floodplain functions
7. Drive safely through standing water
8. Prepare for hurricanes
9. Know the financial benefits of mitigation
10. Reduce stormwater runoff

Agents, your clients need to hear this 🗣️

The year’s final weeks give buyers serious leverage.

Brave the timing and the payoff can be huge: lower borrowing costs, stronger negotiating power, and financial perks you won’t get if you wait until January.

Scientists have found that English ivy is more than just a decorative plant, it's a powerful natural air purifier. A 2005 NASA and University of Georgia study revealed that English ivy can remove 94% of airborne f***l particles and 78% of mold spores from a room within just 12 hours. It also helps clean common household chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, and trichloroethylene all of which can build up indoors from paints, furniture, and cleaning products. Just keep in mind, English ivy contains compounds that are toxic if eaten by pets, so hang it high or keep it out of reach.

🍂 “Messy” Garden Habits That Help Wildlife
Not every tidy habit is good for nature. Sometimes a little wild is better.

• Leave the Leaves → shelter for butterflies & fireflies
• Keep Seed Heads Standing → natural bird food through winter
• Don’t Pull All the Weeds → clover, dandelions, violets = pollinator fuel
• Don’t Mow Too Short → taller grass protects soil + gives insects a home

If needed, I will mow the lawn, paint the walls, and power wash the siding to get your home market ready! I was lucky enough to have my Charlie help me deliver flooring and spray down the siding on my upcoming listing! ☺️🏡

I'm also happy to say both boys played a great first game of the season on their new baseball teams today! ⚾
