Professionally SpeakingDear Community,

To put the best face on a list-ing and appeal to buyers whofollow feng shui principles,keep these tips in mind.1. Pay special attention tothe front door, which is con-sidered the "mouth of chi" (chiis the "life force" of all things)and one of the most powerfulaspects of the entire property.Abundance, blessings, opportunities, andgood fortune enter through the front door.It's also the first impression buyers haveof how well the sellers have taken care ofthe rest of the property. Make sure thearea around the front door is swept clean,free of cobwebs and clutter. Make sure alllighting is straight and properly hung.Better yet, light the path leading up to thefront door to create an inviting atmos-phere.2. Chi energy can be flushed awaywherever there are drains in the home. Tokeep the good forces of a home in, al-ways keep the toilet seats down and closethe doors to bathrooms.3. The master bed should be in a placeof honor, power, and protection, which is

farthest from and facing towardthe entryway of the room. It'seven better if you can place thebed diagonally in the farthestcorner. Paint the room in colorsthat promote serenity, relax-ation, and romance, such assoft tones of green, blue, andlavender.4. The dining room symbol-

izes the energy and power of family to-getherness. Make sure the table is clearand uncluttered during showings. Use anattractive tablecloth to enhance the lookof the table while also softening sharpcorners.5. The windows are considered to bethe eyes of the home. Getting the win-dows professionally cleaned will makethe home sparkle and ensure that the viewwill be optimally displayed.Source: Sell Your Home Faster With

It’s Time to Get Comfortable™

By Bob Van HoutenMoore County Home Builders Association PresidentMMOOOORREE CCOOUUNNTTYY HHOOMMEE BBUUIILLDDEERRSS AASSSSOOCCIIAATTIIOONN

This year’s holidayseason promises tobe as busy and won-derfully hectic as ever— shopping and gift-giving, decoratingand celebrating withfriends and family.Unfortunately, it’s anequally busy time ofyear for home bur-glars.Nearly 400,000 bur-

glaries occur in theUnited States in No-vember and Decem-ber each year,according to the FBI.The National CrimePrevention Councilrecommends homeowners take extra pre-cautions to protecttheir homes during

the holidays, due tothe many home inva-sions at this time ofyear. During the holidays,

homes are often filledwith expensive gifts,the good silver is outand people are in afestive mood — theyaren’t thinking abouthome security theway they should. Inaddition, the busy hol-iday pace of parties,shopping and eventsleaves many homesdark and empty moreoften than at othertimes of the year.Whether home own-ers are out or justasleep upstairs, thespoils of holiday-

timed thefts are justtoo tempting for manyburglars.A few proactive

measures and com-mon sense can pre-vent your holidayseason from beingwrecked by a break-in. Follow these tipsand enjoy a safer andhappier holiday sea-son.First and foremost,

lock up! Whether it’sa short trip to the gro-cery store or a longerhaul to finish someholiday shopping,make sure your doorsand windows are se-curely locked. Neverleave boxes from ex-pensive gifts laying onthe curb for trashpickup. Considercrushing them andplacing them in alarge, black garbagebag. Break down boxes

from expensive giftsand turn them insideout.Remember that

nothing is more effec-tive at deterring a bur-

glar than theimpres-sion thatthehome isoccu-pied.Make it looklike it is by installingtimers on your lights.Have a friend or aneighbor collect yourmail. It is also recom-mended to temporar-ily stop newspaperand mail service ifyour neighbors can’thelp you out. Store valuables like

jewelry in a secureplace. A home safecan be a great optionfor storing variousvaluables includingimportant home andfamily-related docu-ments. Keep your garage

door closed at alltimes. Garage doorsare a favorite point ofentry for burglars.Keep the door fromyour garage into yourhome locked as well. Be sure that your

trees and shrubs

don’t hidewindowsanddoors.Blockeden-

trancescan make it

easier for burglars toget into your homeunnoticed by neigh-bors and passers-by. Leave spare keys

only with trusted fam-ily members or neigh-bors you are close to.Do not hide them out-side. Burglars aresmart enough to lookaround and know thecommon places peo-ple hide keys. Be certain that tools,

ladders and other ob-jects that could beused to break intoyour home are se-curely locked up in-side the house. If youwill be away for alengthy period, enter-tain the idea of ahouse sitter. It mayturn out to be wellworth the money.You may also want

to consider a home

security system.Check online or lookin your phone book tofind companies spe-cializing in home se-curity. Most experts agree

that your neighborsare your best de-fense. Get to knowthem and chancesare they will be morelikely to watch for sus-picious activityaround your homewhile you’re away. Break-ins can be

easily avoided by tak-ing the proper pre-cautions. So beprepared, make wisedecisions and relax.While the holidayscan be stressful, byfollowing these tips,you’ll find yourselfmore at ease andready to celebrate theseason.
