Here’s Another Home Selling Tip

Friday, August 20th, 2010

The lawn and landscape speak volumns.  Keep the lawn green with regular watering and the occasional fertilizing treatment.  Also, mow as needed and include edging.  Be sure to trim the shrubs and hedges, and weed the plant beds.  Colorful seasonal flowers is always a nice addition.  And don’t let stray trash collect along the fenceline.

For assistance selling your home, visit any of the professionals at Distinctive Properties, Inc.  Or visit us online at www.distinctiveprop.com

Stay tuned for more tips.

Tips to Make Your Home More Appealing to Buyers

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Most buyers are influenced by first impressions, which of course is your home’s exterior.  Repair or replace those items that can use an update:  shutters, shingles, screens.  Paint is always a good way to freshen up the exterior.  Pressure washing vinyl siding takes off years.  Stay tuned for more tips.  In the meantime, take a look at Distinctive Properties’ latest weekly statistics by clicking on this link.

Tri-City economy given a boost by sporting events

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Tourism is growing in the Tri-Cities.  June saw 11,000 visitors attending 12 sports activities, generating nearly $3 million in revenue for the Kennewick, Pasco and Richland area.  July promises 7 additional sporting events with the likelihood of 8,500 visitors spending more than $2.4 million.  Hector Cruz, sports development manager at the Tri-Cities Visitor & Convention Bureau indicated that sports organizers appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere of the Tri-City communities.

The Tri-Cities offer close to 3,500 guest rooms for those attending sporting events.  Restaurants and various hospitality businesses partner to offer corresponding discounts to the many visitors who return to the Tri-Cities for a second look after the sporting event is over.  Repeat customers is always a good invitation for staying longer or relocating to the Tri-Cities.  Distinctive Properties, Inc. carries a wide range of listings for homes in Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and outlying smaller communities.  We welcome the opportunity to serve new arrivals.
