Pell City, AL Real Estate News

Thank you Pell City for a nice surprise on my Birthday. I was thrilled when I came home to see that the road in front of my house had been resurfaced. The paving was professionally done and butted to each driveway nicely.  Thank you Pell City I could not have received a better surprise on my Birthday. With all of the work on the sewer system, along with plain old wear and tear, the road was a mess. The ruts and patch jobs were hard on the vehicles that traveled it daily. The newly paved road makes the entire neighborhood look better. It is encouraging to see so much progress being made in Pell City. Thank you Pell City your timing could not have been better. It was a nice surprise on my Birthday.

Artscape Festival at Lakeside Park Was a Success The weather was perfect to enjoy the Artscape Festival today at Lakeside Park in Pell City, AL. The artist that participated in the show had many hand crafted treasures. The talent of the artist was shown through the unique items on display today at the festival.                                                                                                                                                                  My favorite piece from the Artscape Festival is this oil/acrylic painting. It caught my eye because the oil was so thick it had a 3D effect. Jerone Vason told me this particular painting took two months to dry. My photograph does not come close to showing the beauty of this painting. I loved the idea that was put into the...

Car Show At Lakeside Hospice Blues Fest 2010   I felt I stepped back in time when I entered the car show Saturday at the Lakeside Hospice Blues Fest 2010.  Pride of ownership was in the faces of all the owners who brought their refurbished vehicles of yesteryear. There was a large variety of cars to view that were truly impressive. Barney Fife's vehicle showed up, but no one ever caught a glimpse of him.  : ) The car show at Lakeside Hospice Blues Fest 2010 was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing the show again next year.   "Car Show At Lakeside Hospice Blues Fest"Create a free slideshow with Picnik!

                                                           Hummingbird Feeders   I have shown a lot of homes in the Pell City, St Clair and Talladega area that had  hummingbird feeders in their back yard.  So this year, I put up a hummingbird feeder.   I have enjoyed sitting on my deck and watching the little guys feed. It is understood that the hummingbirds will migrate.  Do you do take the feeder down now, or wait until all the other hummingbirds have had time to pass through the area on their way to migrate to take it down?

                              Pricing Your Property To Sell in Pell City, St Clair and Talladega County It is extremely important to think about a good pricing strategy when placing your Pell City, St Clair and Talladega County home on the market to sell.  Most of the time, sellers want to price their property with room for negotiation, this could lead to pricing themselves out of a sale. Why do I say this? Let me explain. The two most powerful things to consider in pricing positioning are; what is currently available on the market and if the sellers are motivated.  In today's market, we are up against a lot of short sales and foreclosures. These sellers are highly motivated, and if you are not priced competitively your property will not sell. Buyers usually test the sellers when placi...

Frequent Mistakes Sellers Make When Preparing Their Homes For Sale Are you thinking of putting your home on the market in Pell City, Talladega or St Clair County? In my experience as a Real Estate Professional, these are the most frequent mistakes a lot of sellers make when preparing their homes for sale. 1. No Curb Appeal ~Do not worry about what the house looks like because most buyers will drive by the home after finding it on the Internet, if you do not have curve appeal your property will be removed from their list without even looking at it.                                                                                                                                                                                       2. Everyone will love your freshly painted red family room. ~...

Today is the ninth anniversary of the worst tragedy that the United States of America has experienced in my lifetime. I can still feel the sadness and the terror I felt watching this unfold in front of my eyes on television. When I first learned of the terrorist attack I heard it on the radio, I was putting up signs on the other end of the county. Terrified not knowing what was going on I went straight to the high school and checked my son out. Back at home glued to the television with my child safe within by reach, I watch the horrors unfold that forever changed the lives of thousands and this great country of ours. Sadness and grief overwhelmed me as it did the entire nation for the senseless act of terrorism that took place that day. Fly your American flag today to honor those who lo...

   Alabama Wildflowers In St Clair And Talladega Counties                                                                                                                                                Selling homes in St Clair and Talladega Counties has it perks; while regularly traveling the county roads I have seen some of the most beautiful Alabama Wildflowers that had an abundance of color this spring thru summer.  The fall season is approaching, and the area is still providing a beautiful array of natural color.   I have done some research into trying to identify some of the area wildflowers. While doing this, I have found some interesting facts.  Alabama ranks eighth nationally with 2,851 native plant species. The wildflowers in the state are in a steep decline. With the human pop...

Dragonflies on Logan Martin Lake While living on Logan Martin Lake, you will find an abundance of wildlife and insects. The one I enjoy seeing the most is the dragonfly. Because of a set a circumstances in my past, seeing a dragonfly holds special meaning to me.  I have seen some pretty photographs of dragonflies taken around Logan Martin Lake this year. Tonight I decided to look up their life cycle and what I found was fascinating. The dragonfly's cycle of life comes in three stages, the egg, the nymph and adult. The dragonfly mates while flying.  The female will lay her eggs in the calm marshy areas of water on a plant; if she cannot locate one, she will drop them in the water. When the dragonfly eggs hatch, they are then called nymph. They do not have wings at this stage. Nymphs live...

What's cooking in Pell City, AL? I have been watching the folks on the street in front of the Texaco cooking for a while now. Every time I drive by this Pell City location, the smell of their cooking is wonderful. When I was leaving my Real Estate Office late the other night, I decided to go see what's cooking and get something for dinner. When I got there, they were sold out of the Boston Butts, so I decided on the Baby Back Ribs. They were delicious; the meat fell of the bones. My son who is not much of a pork eater could not get enough of them. While I was in Pell City today I decided to stop to see what was cooking, and I found Staci Mims and Tyler Etress hard at work cooking Boston Butt, Spare and Baby Back Ribs.   Want something delicious for dinner? Give them a try, you will not ...
