Repair Weather Stripping to Prevent Drafts...

It's been cool... but now that it's starting to get cold, you might begin noticing more drafts around your windows, and weather stripping may be to blame. Over time, it can become loose, break away or bend. If you can't just refasten it, you'll need to replace it altogether.

For double-hung windows, install spring-style weather stripping. Cut the stripping two inches longer than the height of the sash. Open the sash, slide the stripping into the channel, and secure it with nails. Trim the stripping to fit around pulleys and balances, and then pry it open with a putty knife. Follow the same process along the top of the window frame. At the bottom, nail the stripping to the window sash.

For wood casement, hinged or sliding windows, use pliable-gasket weather stripping with a self-adhesive backing. Cut it to fit, and install it so the sash presses lightly against it. If your windows are slightly warped, use compressible felt strips.

Welcome to Sell my Avon, Indiana Home!

Hello! If you are a potential home seller who is seeking to find a top real estate agent in your community, then you have found the right place! My name is Chris Castetter www.chriscastetter.com I am a full time, "honest" Realtor who specializes in marketing and selling Hendricks County Indiana houses.

My primary focus and strength is working directly with home sellers in my market area. Over the past 18 years of representing hundreds of buyers and sellers, I have enjoyed meeting excellent people, establishing lifelong friendships, life long referrals and repeat business from great people in the Avon Indiana community and surrounding areas!

Trust & Communication are key in my personal real estate business. Without a high level of trust and good communication a home seller can find themselves in a very frustrating situation. With the natural stress and obstacles that are already involved in a real estate transaction, you can't afford to have an agent who is not honest, dependable, experienced, organized and communicative.

Are you concerned about selling your home in today's market? Don't be. "Markets are always up or down." Real Estate is still moving in today's world and with the expertise and knowledge of a local expert, you can be on your way to achieving your real estate goals. In recent months, I have had the thrill of receiving multiple offers on listings and seeing home sellers excited about the price of their home being driven above list price!

In each of those instances the homes showed like absolute model homes. I cannot express enough the importance of Home Staging prior to putting your home on the open market for sale. Statistics show a great return on investment when you invest in cleaning, de-cluttering and staging. I have great resources available to guide you through this aspect of selling as well. for your home selling needs, I hope you will reach out and contact me so that we can discuss in detail how I may best be of service to you now or in the coming months.

INDIANAPOLIS ILLEGAL FORECLOSURE

Are you a victim of an illegal foreclosure? Is someone you know a possible victim? This week I came across an interesting article at CNBC regarding illegal foreclosures that might have taken place between 2009-2010 across the U.S. A few of the major players involved are Bank of America, (Countrywide) Chase Bank, Wells Fargo and Citibank. Currently The Office of the Currency of the Comptroller is beginning reviews of foreclosure actions. There are questions, guidelines and stipulations involved.

Over recent years in our market, the American Dream of home ownership has become a challenge for many. This market obstacle will likely take several more years before we see light at the end of the tunnel. There are not any specific instructions in this article about how to start the recourse process, but potential victims will be contacted via US Post Mail notifying them of this investigation and what the qualifications are etc. http://www.cnbc.com/id/45118687/

If you are being faced with a possible foreclosure or potential short sale, then please contact me. We have answers to help you navigate through this trying situation. Depending on your individual situation, you might require the services of a real estate attorney.
