T'is the season for giving, each year I like to show the SELLabrate Real Estate Team how much I value and appreciate them.  Sooo this year we went to 'Into the Fire'  to create and celebrate.  'Into the Fire' is a local business where you can pick a blank ceramic item (i.e. bowls, cups, banks) and paint them in the color and design of your choice.  They provide all the tools and materials, all you need to bring is a little (very little in some cases) creativeness.  It takes about a week for them to glaze and fire the items for you to pick up.  This is the 2nd year in a row that  has come here for holiday team party and part of that reason is the fun the whole family has and we have the place to ourselves and bring in our own food.  This is also the 2nd year in a row that the food was pr...

SANTA in JOHNSON CITY, DECEMBER 15 – JONELL FARM   Santa will be at JoNell Farm on Saturday, Dec. 15th about 6:00PM, just off North Roan going toward Peoples Drive.    All the children will receive a small gift and will be able to remind Santa of their wishes.   The gift is a JoNell farm coloring book made by Mrs. Santa (June Miller Gouge).  It has the story of the farm and pictures of all of the animals living on JoNell farm.     I don’t know how long this tradition has been going on, but even if you’re not free to see Santa that evening, drive by to see all the decorations at 2503 Browns Mill Road.       If your children go to Towne Acres Elementary – or for that matter, if you drive Browns Mill Road between Peoples and North Roan – may well have seen the alpacas.  JoNell Farm is at 2...

Yesterday was the big day for Santa to make his debut in Johnson City.  We had the local high school bands, ROTC, local merchants, City departments and everyone in between, celebrating and participating in our annual parade.  RE/MAX Checkmate, Johnson City TN had it's annual parade in it as well.  This years theme was" Sold on a cure" and it was a huge success.  Pink breast cancer bands were passed out, along with candy, and they were more popular than the candy!!  Kids and adults as well were shouting out for bracelets.  Johnson City TN and RE/MAX Checkmate, thank you for a great time!

Last week-end we ran in the Turkey Trot. A 5K run Thanksgiving morning.  It was great, very enjoyable and I ran into many high school friends while in town for the holiday. (Ann Arbor).  Today we ran the Jingle Bell Run.  5K here in Johnson City TN, put on by East Tennessee State University (ETSU) supporting the ESTU athletes and scholarships.  Both runs were just a blast and such a great way to celebrate the season.  Especially with all the sweets and treats out there.  Just a good counter balance!! What's next?  I'm looking......

The schools their children will attend are a very important factor for most parents.    There’s a lot of information available on line, and most schools welcome visits from people who want to see “in person” what a school is like.   In addition, signing up for school newsletters is a good way to get a feel for the activities and the character of the various choices.      For examples of the kind of information available on two national sites, I used Towne Acres Elementary School at the example.   Parents considering a move here will want to compare with other nearby schools, and maybe to compare local schools with the schools they will be moving from.   Great  Schools - description of  Towne Acres Elementary  http://www.greatschools.org/search/search.page?state=TN&q=Towne+Acres%2C+Johns...

  Fiddler on the Roof is at Milligan this weekend.   No matter how often you’ve seen it on stage or at the movies, seeing it again will be a special event. We’ll see it tonight with friends, and will be watching friends on stage which makes it even more special.   I sold a house in Towne Acres to “the Rabbi”.   Two of Tevye’s daughters, the innkeeper and one of the mothers are part of a family whose property I have listed in Briarwood.   Here is part of the blurb from the Trinity Arts Center website: Fiddler on the Roof, one of Broadway's most beloved musicals, comes to Johnson City for one weekend only! Laugh, cry, and sing along as Tevye and his daughters navigate faith, life, marriage, hardship, friendship, and more in this entertaining and family-friendly performance by some of the ...

“We don’t want a lot of people coming through during the holidays,” people sometimes say.   My response is that  the home may well look its best as you get ready for holiday guests and bring out your holiday decorations.      It’s sort of funny that people fret about “a lot of people coming through” when they’ve just been telling me that the property didn’t get much attention when it was on the market before.  I guess I should be flattered that they assume I’ll get better results!   And if their homes have not been on the market for a long time, maybe not since they bought, they imagine the kind of stampede they might have had in a different market a few years ago. When the owners have already moved to another home, I can’t think of any reason why they shouldn’t want to go ahead and be ...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN       A great Halloween safety reminder  came from an agent friend in Baltimore MD.    Click to be sure you think of everything.   Some are obvious, but I hadn’t thought of glow bracelets as something to give in addition to candy, for example.   Some of the comments also had good ideas.    Another Active Rain friend, a Virginia home inspector, suggested another kind of home safety tips that anyone expecting lots of company on a dark night should think about.        As a member of the Active Rain blogging group, I’ve made friends across the country  in several fields related to real estate.   We share ideas on such things as our local markets, special events in our areas, marketing, technology, negotiating, finance, staging, etc.     In addition to the knowledge and the f...

Sellers who have a problem with de-cluttering can get valuable help at the web site of Mary Pankiewicz, www.Clutterfree.biz.     So can all the rest of us!    I just had a very interesting conversation with Mary Pankiewicz, whose monthly messages I’ve enjoyed.  Her blog comes to me regularly and has inspired me that there are solutions to my pack-rat problems, although I haven’t applied all the ideas and still have more than my share of “stuff” in my basement.   She spoke to a women’s group in Johnson City recently and I regretted not being a member  and not being able to hear her.   Today, instead of just reading her ideas about closet clutter, I looked  more carefully and noticed that her phone number is in the same area code as mine.   We had a very pleasant phone call and I discover...

The Towne Acres neighborhood garage sales are planned  for Saturday, October 13, 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.    I may want to postpone my own so I can visit so many of my neighbors that day.    Let’s hope for a lovely warm, dry day like some of the great days we’ve had recently.   Johnson City requires a permit for garage sales, but it’s free and simple.   Just go to City Hall, give name, address, phone number and date.     One person can register for several.    If you’ll get your information to me no later than Thursday noon, I’ll take it down when I go.     Email is preferred:   Mary@marysheridan.com.      If this is part of your fall housecleaning, that’s great – we all probably need to have less stuff than we have and others find treasures among what we no longer need.    On the other hand...

At the doctor’s office, the LPN noticed that I live on Sharon Drive and mentioned her friend who lived on my street.  I knew they’d recently sold, which revealed to her that I was a real estate agent.   Then she said she’d been thinking about buying an investment property since she had a son in medical school and another at ETSU.   I asked her what year her medical student was, and when she said “second year,” I knew he’d have had my husband in his gross anatomy lab, since Mike volunteered there until this year, after 50+ years of teaching gross at other schools.    She told me about another student who had been very close to her son, and my husband had taught her son and had just been at the funeral at which her son was pallbearer.     We discovered later that both of us had taught cla...

Jerry Conway at Office Max in Johnson City made my recent purchase a comfortable and pleasant process.  There’s nothing I dread more than having to buy new office equipment .   Too many choices, too little confidence in my ability to choose the best for my needs.     After looking at a number of stores and feeling less and less confident and more stressed,   I went to Office Max and luckily was able to put my need in the capable hands of Jerry Conway.    He listened, was patient, and knew the products thoroughly.   I felt “counseled” rather than “sold” and I bought with confidence.       He solved a problem after the purchase also, and when I mentioned today that a new laptop would be my next purchase, he introduced me to Ed McDonald, who Jerry said was really good with matching custome...

If you use Mountainview Road  to connect to West Oakland, Knob Creek Rd, or Hanover Rd, you  will be affected by the proposed  re-zoning that would add 248 apartments to an already busy intersection of narrow roads.     The neighbors in Roundtree, Pine Timbers, Briarwood and Berkshire are already involved and concerned, and people who come from the Claude Simmons Road area and farther west probably don’t know how it will affect them.   Flyers have already gone to those four neighborhoods and the community group hopes to get flyers out to the wider areas.     The City Commission meeting September 6, at 6:00, will be the third reading.  They need to know we really care.    Attendance and participation at the second reading was great, but not enough people knew in time to get involved soon...
