Tips on How to Prepare Your Home for Winter
December 14, 2020 /Here are a few tips on how to prepare your home for the winter! Seal & Ventilate: Insulate walls and attics, and caulk and weather-strip doors and windows. If you have a fireplace, keep the flue closed when you're not using it. Make sure your furniture isn't blocking your home's heating vents. During cold spells, keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes, particularly those in the kitchen and bathrooms. Happy Roof, Dry House: Clean out the gutters. It is also a good idea to add extensions to the downspout outlet to keep water away from the foundation of your home and make sure your yard drainage is working. Repair roof leaks and remove tree branches that could get weighed down with ice or snow and fall on your house - or your neighbors (avoid liability for the latter). Protect Your Pipes: Wrap water pipes in your basement or crawl spaces with insulation sleeves to slow heat transfer. Consider an insulated blanket for your hot water heater. Drain your irrigation system if you have one, and shut off outdoor water valves if possible. Don’t forget to disconnect and roll up your hoses. Avoid Ice Dams:…Read more

Emma’s Thanksgiving Tips
November 23, 2020 /Thanksgiving in the Dunn household looks like this: My mother is the head chef, I am the sous chef. That is how it has always been and the two of us have Thanksgiving down to an art. If we are hosting, my mother plans and preps the ingredients for every dish out in advance (something I strongly recommend), orders the right sized turkey for the amount of people coming, and knows exactly when each dish should be assembled and cooked. When it is time to get cooking, I show up with my knives and do whatever my mother deems necessary. While I am the head chef in my own home, I personally love taking the back seat on this holiday because it gives me an opportunity to continue to learn from my mother. Well, imagine my surprise last year when my mother came down with the flu 4 days before Thanksgiving and I was then expected to execute Thanksgiving dinner for 16 people. Having never cooked a meal this intricate by myself, I was certainly overwhelmed! However, having been thrown into the thick of it last year as the new head chef, I learned a considerable amount that has prepared…Read more

Jesse’s Thoughts On Our Post-Covid Real Estate Market
October 20, 2020 /If you had told me at the end of March that neither the virus or the stay-at-home orders would have a negative affect on the real estate market, I wouldn’t have believed you. Our team saw about $2.5million in sales disappear in less than a week after the stay-at-home order was issued, with no possibility of any of it returning. We ended up having to lay off all of our employees, if only temporarily, and was only able to hire them back when our PPP loan came through. Like many of our peers that are self-employed or in the service industry, I was preparing for the worst. What happened instead We started calling our clients, not asking if they were thinking of buying and selling, just to check on people and make sure that they were doing ok and if there was anything we could do to help. People were glad to hear from us, glad to talk about their concerns, and eager for any updates we might have for them in the future. After the initial pause in the first few weeks of the quarantine, things started moving, and soon we were as busy as ever. Eventually this fervent…Read more

Birds In Shoes
October 15, 2020 /Receiving a handwritten card in the mail almost seems like a way of the past. With social media, smartphones, and even a Zoom happy hour, getting in touch with loved ones has never been easier. It’s great to be instantly connected with your community and have everything accessible at the click of a button. Don’t get us wrong, these advances in communication make our job in real estate that much easier, but there is still something special about receiving a card in the mail. During quarantine, we put a pause on our typical real estate focused conversations with our clients. Instead of calling to ask if they were ready to list their home, we simply wanted to know if they were okay and if there was anything the Pickett Street team could do to help. While it was great to instantly connect with our community, we wanted to do something more. So we decided to send out handwritten cards. However, we weren’t going to send just any card, we were going to send cards with birds wearing shoes. A few years back, Jesse met Jim Sorensen at a conference on Fierce Conversations, a book that holds a special place in…Read more
