Excuse me while I blow the dust off my keyboard… It’s been a while since my last post, and quite honestly, I haven’t made time to put all the great information I have taken in over the past couple of months here for you. August was one of the busiest months I’ve had yet working with buyers and sellers and I am grateful for the opportunities that have presented themselves. Thanks for sticking around, keep coming back, I have built up a backlog of posts I hope to get out soon.
Earlier this week, while sitting in class to get my Green Designation from the National Association of Realtors, I received an email from OG&E about an offering they have for customers in the Oklahoma City Metro about a $50 Energy Assessment.

Winter is coming! Is your home ready? The little guy above is enjoying the holiday season knowing that he already took care of his list to-do’s before the cold weather set it.
Here are few ideas to get your house ready for the colder months which might save you time and money by being proactive. This weekend in Oklahoma City calls for some great weather – getting outside now and being proactive will go a long way in helping you be ready for the winter months.
-Clean gutters of leaves & debris
-Change air filters, I like these 3M Filtrete Filters because they reduce the allergen particles circulating in your home
-Call on your heat and air professional to check out your system to ensure it is in tiptop shape for smooth operation
-Winterize water spickets and store hoses in garage, I have some styrofoam cups that screw on over the spicket to portect them from freezing, you can pick them up at any Home Depot or Lowes
- Add weather stripping around any doors that you notice any drafts
-Adjusting automated settings on spinkler systems or turning off completely.
-Pick up a bag of rock salt for drives, sidewalks and porches
- Buy 2 cans of windshield de-icer & 2 snow scrapers, keep one in the garage and one in the car, I have had my car iced over and couldn’t open the door to get the product out.
-Trim back excess branches on trees to lower the risk of damage from that dreaded ice we get every year
Just a little bit of prep work can save you so much stress and headache when it actually turns cold outside.
What else would you add to the list that you do every year to get your place ready for winter?
