Cooking is the leading cause of fire injury among seniors.

02-19-08

Anona Large-Oak Ridge, TN Real Estate

Senior citizens have a higher risk than any other age group for home fire fatalities.

Some 900 adults 65 and older die from blazes each year, and another 2,000 are injured, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Seniors are more at risk for many reasons: less mobility, sight, just to name a couple.

Here are three safety tips to reduce the risk of a fire:

*When working at the stove, never leave flammable materials like potholders or paper towels nearby.
*Foods that are cooking should never be left unattended
The cook should always wear short or tight-fitting clothing, the USFA said.

*Be sure to have an escape plan. The plan should include two exits from each room. The USFA recommends letting your friends and/or family members know what your plan is. Practice with them if you can.

The majority of seniors killed in a fire were in their bedroom and many were sleeping, according to USFA statistics. Make sure your fire alarms are audible as they are more successful at waking you as most seniors have lost some hearing.

Contact your local fire department to let them know of any special needs you may have including coming to your house to perform a home fire safety inspection.

Have you changed the locks on your house?

02-17-08

Anona Large-Oak Ridge, TN Real Estate

When was the last time you changed the locks on your house?

How many people have had access to your house in the last 5 years. How many spare keys do you think are out there?

I always advise my clients to change the locks on their doors as soon as possible. Top priority #1. This is a huge safety issue. A person never knows how many keys have been made to get into your home.

So stay safe and get your locks changed.

Have a Fabulous Real Estate Day!!!!

I saw a man stealing a trash can yesterday!

02-08-08

Anona Large-Oak Ridge, TN Real Estate

I have mainly lived in larger cities and have now been in Oak Ridge, TN for just over a year. Now people around here say Oak Ridge is not a small town and in comparison to the surrounding towns they are right.

I am still getting used to the small "tiffs" at the stop signs or who is going to let who go first. No, you go. No, you go. At Wal-Mart I find a lot of people making eye contact and smiling. My neighbors even wave!

Enjoying my morning coffee, I saw a man walking up our hill of a street pulling a trash can. I called to my fiance to point out a man is walking up the street with someone's trash can! He laughed.

After his laughter subsided, he proceeded to inform me that is why we pay $5.00 per month extra on our utility bill. Our trash men carry a trash can door to door to pick up the trash then bring it out to the truck.

I have been here over a year now and it never actually registered that I have never seen a trash can on the side of the road!!!

Talking about curb appeal!

I was an assistant to a Realtor 10 years ago. After being an assistant for nearly 3 years, I decided to get my own Real Estate license.

Since then, I have never looked back. The real estate business is my calling!

I now specialize in the Tennessee real estate market. Working out of the Oak Ridge office of Realty Executives Associates has been one of my most valuable assets. Myself and my customers benefit from the reputation of excellence the Realty Executives Associates logo represents.

Like the Realty Executives logo, I represent integrity, character, trust, and experience!

Each customer is motivated by 1 or more of 3 needs. Time, Money, and/or Convenience. My job is not to be a "sales person". My duty is to get my customers a home in the quickest amount of time, with the least amount of money, and the most amount of convenience.

From the time we first meet, until after the closing, managing the details of the real estate transaction is my priority.
