Century 21® National Open House Month | Guest Post

April is Century 21® National Open House Month!

Just as the spring flowers are getting ready to bloom, many available homes on the real estate market throughout Delaware will be opening their doors to kick off the spring buying season.

C21 Open House

Here are some helpful tips so that you are prepared when attending Open Houses:


• Wear Comfortable shoes – as the warm weather approaches I know its very tempting to want to wear those high summer wedges, but it might be a good idea to leave them behind and grab your comfortable walking shoes since you will be doing a lot of walking through houses as well as going up and down stairs.

• Ask permission before taking pictures or recording a video

• Be respectful of the homeowner’s personal belongings – while it is acceptable to open closets and draws, you want to be mindful that you are not rummaging or snooping through the current homeowner’s personal belongings.

• Bring a notebook or tablet –you may have a copy of the listing advertisement, but it is always helpful to you the buyer to be able to make your own notes on the specific aspects of the property that you either like or dislike.

If you or someone you know is in the market for purchasing a new home, please feel free to contact Cleo Clarke at (302)397-4063. And don’t forget to ask her about programs for First-Time Homebuyers or 100% financing!

World’s Longest Yard Sale

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!

Here we are again, the 1st Saturday of the month so you know where to find me – set up at Dutch Country Farmers Market in Middletown.  I am still trying to purge household items, clothing, books, shoes anything I don’t need in order to make a few extra dollars and leave less to pack or donate when we decide to downsize.

Flea Market in Middletown

community-yard-sale-300x214

As in most states you’ll find community yard sales, but did you know that the longest yard sale starts in North Addison, Michigan and goes through to Gadsen, Alabama?   It is 690 miles long and people stake out their front yards along Hwy 127 for 4 days to sell new and used items!

According to the 127sale.com website, the yard sale officially starts the first Thursday in August and runs through to the following Sunday but this year it started on the 1st.  People travel from the North, South, East and West some make it an annual event renting RV’s and camping out year after year.  “An exchange of cultures with a common goal; to look, buy and sale!”

Can you imagine taking a week’s vacation to go to a Yard Sale?  Oh well, I’ll just stick with my little space in the parking lot on the first Saturday of the month from April to November!

Flea Markets are fun because you never know what you’ll find!
