Quick Tips and Tricks to Add Curb Appeal to your Home
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 28, 2009 – You only get one chance for your home to make a first impression. With a little help from Mother Nature, you can demand a second look from passersby with a show-stopping front yard.
According to the Massachusetts Flower Growers Association (MFGA), an attractive landscape and pleasing entrance increase the value of your property. “It's the first thing you see, and that first impression can add 20 percent to your home's value,” says David Giurleo, of Colonial Gardens in Concord. “That’s rivals the return on a new kitchen or bath.”
Steve Flynn, of Nunan’s Florist and Greenhouse in Georgetown, MA, agrees. “A landscaped property is a sure ticket to quick resale. “It gives a home curb appeal, a sense of place and value.”
With a little ingenuity you can transform a ho-hum landscape into a real stunner with these simple tips that add professional-looking curb appeal to your Massachusetts home:
1. First things first
You can't enhance anything until you have a clean slate. So mow the lawn, get rid of the weeds, rake up and dispose of any leaves, edge the sidewalks and remove the grass growing between concrete seams and brick pavers, prune the trees -- especially the ones near or touching the roof and add a layer of dark, natural mulch to any flower beds or under trees.
2. Cover up the bald spots
Now you need to take a good look at your yard. How can you enhance your best features and minimize your worst? Here's a great trick. Print photos in black and white and you'll easily see the problem areas. Take the photo to your local garden center for expert advice on how to fix your "flaws". To update your look, fill empty spaces and add instant color to a drab corner or "hide" unsightly spots, plant a sweep of colorful annuals or blooming perennials.
3. Put out the welcome mat
The entry garden is the most visible garden space and sets the mood for your entire home. Whether formal or relaxed, it should draw your eye toward the front door. Make sure it is tidy, bright and inviting. Pick up a lush hanging basket at your local garden center or farm stand and drop it into a pretty container. No planting necessary for a quick pick me up.
4. Contain yourself
For those with minimal or no yard, or if you just want the elegance and ease of containers, pot up pretty annuals and perennials around your entrance, mailbox or along the front walk. Plant colorful plants and flowers in your garden they will attract positive energy – and buyers. Using a lot of red in the garden – like geraniums, salvia or petunias -- will increase and stimulate the flow of Chi, a feng shui technique.
5. Express yourself
Decorate a garden with a favorite antique, treasured collectible or statue. Massachusetts is a great place to hunt for antiques. Look for objects such as driftwood, rocks or even empty mailboxes to punctuate certain areas. Use colorful annuals or foliage plants to attract the eye. Paint your front door a bold, welcoming color or try a bright, punchy color on the shutters.
6. Plan for sustainability
Look for plants that are easy to grow, save water and don't require a lot of work. Your local garden center expert can help you pick plants that are native to Massachusetts for low-maintenance beauty.
“It is amazing how quickly you can add curb appeal to your home with some splashy containers and new plantings,” says MFGA president Dave Volante. “Garden centers are filled with bright plants. The hardest part is deciding what colors to pick!”
Enjoy the days you get outside to renew your yard and garden. You'll have folks taking a second look. Visit www.massflowergrowers.com to find a local garden center.

Buying a Puerto Vallarta Condo - Relaxed and Carefree Living
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 27, 2009 – If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of crowded cities and ready to give up your demanding job for a life of lounging on the beach and working from your beachfront home, buying a Puerto Vallarta condo for sale can be the key to living a more peaceful life. While Puerto Vallarta is a bustling place because of the high level of tourism, it is a different kind of bustling. Instead of rushing to a meeting or fighting traffic to get to work, the bustling in Puerto Vallarta is a more peaceful kind. You can spend your days working from home and spend your free time using the miles of sandy beaches and other beautiful land to relax and enjoy life. Buying a Puerto Vallarta condo for sale means that you can choose your location and get the property that will meet your needs. If you plan on working from home to avoid the stress of working for someone else, you'll need to choose a condo with plenty of room for your files and equipment. You'll also need to make sure the wiring will support all of the technology that you'll be using to communicate from your home office. Once you iron out all of these details, you'll be able to choose a condo based on the conveniences and surroundings available.
If you want a condo near the beach, you can easily choose to view properties near some of the best beaches in Mexico. If you'd prefer a more secluded location with less tourist attractions, you can ask your Mexico realtor to show you properties that are in quieter locations so you can concentrate on your work. The next thing to consider before buying a piece of Puerto Vallarta Real Estate is what kind of amenities you want to have available to you. Your home should be your sanctuary, so you should be able to buy a condo that has everything you need to live comfortably. Many condos come with appliances included and you may also be able to choose a property that has a swimming area, hot tub, Jacuzzi, large outdoor area, or a great deal of living space. All of these things will help you to make sure that your home matches your needs and personality so that you will be happy with your Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Playa del Carmen Real Estate buying experience and have a condo that you can enjoy for years to come.

The Radio Plaza Development in Dyersburg, TN adds Wyndham brand Microtel Inn and Suites
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 17, 2009 – Dyersburg, TN; Less than a year ago emergency room physician Darren Johnson, developer/owner of DLJ Investments of Dyersburg, TN, bought some land and was approved to develop a commercial plaza. What began as just a development concept now includes a 58 room Microtel Inn and Suites and prime restaurant/retail space. The development is currently expected to begin construction within months and shows no signs of losing momentum. Since the beginning, Dr. Johnson understood the need to have a creative visual presentation so he retained his marketing team, The Devin James Group to identify selling points, establish the brand and market the development. While launching the pre-development marketing “The Radio Plaza” was born and began to generate a buzz with local/regional media outlets and newspapers. At the center of the brand initiative is the website, (www.theradioplaza.com), designed to keep visitors informed about the news and status of the development, demonstrate amenities and showcase the features of the completed development for potential partners and commercial retailers.
From the brand to the actual management of the development Dr. Johnsons’ ability to retain the most proficient team members has been essential to the rapid growth and momentum of the Radio Plaza Development. He assigned the overall management and financial guidance to Jack Kirk, the CEO of Team Management & Development, LLC, who boasts 30 years of financial experience, a strong history of commercial real estate management and provides extensive experience with hotel openings and management conversions. Kirk also currently has approximately 15 other Microtel hotels and other complex developments under contract and has completed many more to date. “We plan to take all the stress of management and management problems from the investor owner. We bridge the gaps with our persistent process of reviewing all profits centers at all times to keep up with any changes needed”, says Jack Kirk, CEO of Team Management & Development, LLC and The Radio Plaza new team leader.
About The Radio Plaza:
The Radio Plaza (www.theradioplaza.com) is a fully planned commercial development located in Dyersburg, Tennessee at the intersection of State Route 78 (Lake Road) and Interstate 155. On the adjoining lot to break ground late summer of 2009 is a 58 room three story Microtel Inn and Suites, with many other hotels located across the interstate at this exit. The lot for sale includes one plus acre or size to fit purchasers’ requirement at the corner of Radio Road and a new street to the Microtel Inn & Suites. The price of the lot is to be negotiated with seller based on the final size and adjustments in value based on the seller’s improvement provided.

Property Preservation Company, REO ResQ™, Teams With Leading Edge Companies to Recruit REO Agents
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 14, 2009 – Frank Patrick, REO specialist and founder of trash out business franchise, REO ResQ, is currently working with Rod Beever, President of Leading Edge Companies, to recruit new REO agents and Property Preservation Contractors. REO ResQ™ and Leading Edge Companies, a full service REO asset management and field services company, are recruiting through the REO trade association, The American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS,) specifically through the ASREOS website, http://www.ASREOS.com.
In a recent teleconference call, Frank Patrick and Rod Beever discussed the state of the property preservation and REO industry, especially the growing opportunity for REO specialists to flourish during the current foreclosure increase across the country.
“Any time they (lenders) change the dynamics of their business, and outsource to a company like (Leading Edge Companies,) it opens up the opportunity for new people, who don’t yet have that relationship, to prove themselves,” remarked Frank Patrick.
“I think that’s going to grow. I think we’ll see less and less business done directly between the agent and the contractor, the bank and contractor, or the bank and the agent. I think that more business will come from an outsourcers like REO ResQ and Leading Edge Companies,” Patrick continued.
Since the recent nationwide foreclosure moratorium ended, the number of properties foreclosed on my lenders has increased and the number of new foreclosure filings is at an all time high. As demand grows for field service companies, mortgage field services and trash out businesses, now seems to be the perfect time to start a property preservation company, such as REO RESQ™.
“I believe we have time yet before we get through this onslaught of REO business, I believe it may continue for another 2-5 years,” remarked Beever.
With the current state of the housing market, banks and financial institutions are finding that preserving and maintaining REO properties can be an overwhelming task. REO ResQ™ provides these companies with trained contractors to secure, clean out and maintain their foreclosed properties until they are sold.
