Greetings CRS Family:

We just finished the two day 206 Technology Class with Mike Selvaggio. It was a great two days. Congratulations to

Janie Peterson, Catina Wright, Cathy Saunders, Melissa Grohowski, Marianne Donahue, Michael Hottman, and Jason

Meeks. They will receive the CRS Designation as a result!

The Spring Market is winding down with a nice furor! Don’t let your business consume you. Continue to stay on the

cutting edge and consume relevant information that will help you offer valuable information to your clients. Our up-

coming events will help with that. Put them on your calendar:

June 5, Mayor’s Office Presentation of the Shockoe Bottom Ball Park Proposal.

September 11, Virginia DEQ Mold & Radon Presentation.

October 3, “No Bull Business Planning” by LeRoy Houser.

This will help you get organized to set your 2015 on fire!

Be sure to encourage your clients to donate to CARITAS, our Chapter With A Heart project this year, by taking un-

wanted furniture and household items to one of our CRS/Caritas PODS locations. A Big Thanks to Jane Wakefield for

volunteering to be our Caritas PODS Cordinator 804-382-7001. Please contact her for Pod locations and details. It is

both a great way to support a local charity, as well as an excellent service for your seller clients. Thanks to Janie Peter-

son for all the hard work on this project!

Remember, You are a PHD of Real Estate!

I look forward to seeing you at our Chapter Events!

Did You Know? 1 in 5 people in the US suffer from allergies or asthma; common aller-

gies include pollen, dust mites, and insect bites.

Indoor & outdoor allergies affect more than 40 million Americans. Common triggers are tree, grass & weed pollens, mold spores, dust mites, cockroach allergens, and pet dander

22% of workers in Davis, CA commute by bicycle making it the most ac-tive bike-commuting city in the US.

You can make your own window cleaner by mixing equal parts of white vinegar & warm water. The vinegar eliminates window streaks and smudges on glass surfaces. Make sure to use a squeegee to avoid streaks. For best results, wash them early in the day or in the evening on a cloudy day so direct sunlight won’t dry the cleaning solution.

19% of Americans have a disability and nearly 13% have a severe disability!

June 14th is Flag Day. In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson established the national holiday to commemorate the adoption of the Stars & Stripes as the flag of the United States.

Congratulations to Co-Chairs Monica Rawles and Nancy Cheely for the increase in Members. They have encouraged individuals who have not received the CRS Desig-nation to join the Central Virginia CRS Chapter and take advantage of education classes as well as benefit from the programs, fellowship and support of Member Realtors. Thanks to both of you for increasing our Membership.

Drain Trust: Spring is prime time for house-cleaning and maintenance, which should include careful cleaning of gutters. Although they’re designed to act as a drain and protect your home, they often get clogged with leaves and water. Gutters should be cleaned twice a year. To get started, consider these steps from Lowes. First, clean the downspout. Set a ladder on the side of the house where the gutter starts and where most leaves and twigs get trapped. With gloves and a towel, remove the debris and let it fall in a bucket. Move the ladder down the gutter and repeat the process. Check all gutters for holes, leaks, dents, and other features that may need repairs. If your hangers are loose, tighten them or replace them if they seem damaged. Sagging gutters are an indication that the hangers are too loose. After you’ve covered the perimeter and have removed most of the debris, use a garden hose to spray the gutter to rid any remaining debris.

Common Scents:

There is a strong connection between smells and human emotions. Given that homebuying can be a very emotional process, you’ll want to make sure home looks and smells good to appeal to more buyers. Make sure your home passes the smell test by following these tips from HGTV.

If there are any foul odors in your home, don’t just cover them up by baking cookies — try to

identify the source and focus on eliminating the odors. Old carpets are often the biggest culprit. If you don’t have the time or budget to replace old rugs with new carpet or

hardwood floors, wash the carpet with mild detergent soap and water solution, then go over it with a damp towel to neutralize the odor. And open the windows on opposite walls to circulate fresh air. After you’ve rid your home of bad scents or if you just want to fill it with more pleasant

smells, consider boiling fruit peels, spices or herbs in water. Rather than throwing away lemon or orange peels, boil water and let the peels sit for a few minutes, adding water

every half hour or so. You can also mix the peels with other soothing scents. Using oils such as sandalwood, lavender, tea tree and eucalyptus can be therapeutic and inviting.
