Thanks to Punxsutawney Phil, it's official: six more weeks of winter ahead! 🐿️❄️ I'm really hoping we dodge another round of that brutal cold from last week.
The recent freezes got me reflecting on lessons learned from years of living in old farmhouses. If you've ever dealt with a frozen water line (or worse, one that burst), you know it's no fun—especially crawling under the house in sub-zero temps to thaw pipes! 😩
Here are a few practical tips that have saved me headaches over the years. They're not 100% foolproof (wind can still win), but they help a lot if you're lucky:
• Open the cabinet doors under your sinks. This lets warmer room air circulate around the pipes.
• Let faucets drip—both hot and cold lines can freeze, so turn on a slow, steady trickle from at least one faucet on each. No need to waste tons of water; just enough to keep things moving. 💧
• Heat tape (or heat cable) is a game-changer if your plumbing is exposed or prone to freezing when it's zero or below with wind chill. Worth the investment!
• If your house has a crawl space, unheated basement, or pipes in exterior walls, you're more at risk. Consider adding insulation or even a wind barrier (like straw bales or foam board) around the foundation to block drafts.
Anyone else in an older home who's battled frozen pipes? What tricks have worked for you? Share below—I'd love to hear!

Have you seen a commercial for title lock and wondered if it was real or just a creative way for the company to make money? That was my thought the first time I saw one. However, I can tell you from experience that title fraud is very real and increasingly common.
I recently had a home owner contact me for help after finding her home had been listed as a for sale by owner property on Zillow, only it wasn’t her that listed it. The listing not only contained relevant information about her home but also an exterior picture. The contact number of course was not hers and she had not been able to find any help. I was able to get the property removed and also notified the local title company as well as other real estate companies in the town the home was located in. Fortunately for this homeowner a close friend spotted it so it was flagged fairly quickly but that is not always the case.
In addition, about a week later I was told by an agent that she received a call from a seller claiming to be the landowner that someone else in her office usually represents. The caller stated that they wanted her to list some land with her. The call made the agent suspicious. The landowner’s usual agent contacted them and found out they had no intentions of selling their farm. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the caller just happened to call an office with an existing client relationship with the actual owner the outcome might have been very different.
Want you all to be aware of this growing problem in the real estate industry and that it is not only happening with residential property but farm land as well.
