BBQ Safety Tips You Should Know
According to a recent study, the average homeowner pays more attention to
kitchen stove safety than they do BBQ safety. But, the fact is, a BBQ
mishap can be just as devastating. So, it pays to know the latest safety tips.
• Keep BBQs at least 8 feet away from your house.
• Check for venture tube blockages regularly. (Spiders are notorious
for spinning webs in there.)
• Clean the grill frequently to prevent flare ups. A grease fire on the
grill can continue burning even after you’ve turned the BBQ off.
• Don’t position your BBQ close to foliage, such as under a tree or next
to shrubs.
• Never BBQ in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even if the space
is well ventilated.
• Avoid leaving the grill unattended, especially when cooking greasy
foods such as sausages, beef burgers or steaks.
• Do not let children BBQ.
Finally, make sure your BBQ is turned completely off after use. It’s a good
idea to double-check this when making the rounds and locking up your
home for the night.
Experts say you should treat a BBQ as you would a camp fire — with care.

3 Reasons to Talk to a Realtor Today
You might naturally assume that it is most important to talk to a Realtor
when you’re selling or buying a home. But there are many other
circumstances in which it makes sense to give me a call. Here are a few
examples.
1. When you’re at the “thinking about it” stage
If you’re just thinking about selling your home, and haven’t made a firm
decision yet, you might feel uncomfortable calling a Realtor. Don’t be. In
fact, I welcome your call. We can discuss what your current property will
likely sell for on today’s market, and determine the type of home you qualify
to buy. That way, you’ll have some clarity and be able to make a more
informed decision.
2. If you’re nervous about the selling process
If you haven’t sold a home before, you might be concerned about what’s
involved in the process. You might even worry that putting your home on the
market is going to be a lot of work and create a lot of turbulence for you and
your family.
Fortunately, selling your home doesn’t need to be scary. In fact, a big part of
my job as a Realtor is to make the process as smooth and trouble-free as
possible.
So if you have concerns about selling your home, you should give me a call.
3. If you have questions
You likely have questions about the local real estate scene from time to
time. You might have questions like: “How much did that home around the
corner sell for?”; “Is now a good time to make a move, or should I wait until
the market changes?”; and, “How much is my current home worth?”
When you have questions like those, you don’t need to dig for answers on
your own. You can give me a call. As an expert in the local market, I can
give you the answers you need.
