Celebrating the New Year in Raleigh

December 29, 2014 by Richard Callahan Leave a Comment

Looking for family-friendly ways to celebrate the changing of the calendar?

Look no further! First Night Raleigh packs Downtown Raleigh with activities for the whole family on New Year’s Eve.  It’s an alcohol-free celebration with an incredible array of activities from ferris wheel rides, horse-drawn carriage rides, live music on multiple stages, performances of every type…you get the idea.  Join in the parade down Fayetteville Street, make an art project, and watch the acorn drop at 7:00 and/or midnight.  There’s even an app!

Then start 2015 off right with a First Day Hike at one of the ten state parks within a 90-minute drive of Raleigh. The hikes start at various times and are various lengths, but what a wonderful way to begin a fresh year.  Getting some exercise in the cold, fresh air with other like-minded folks could be the perfect way to get a jump start on those resolutions.

I’m ready for 2015 and I’ll be out and about celebrating life and celebrating life in Raleigh.  Cheers!

New Year's in Raleigh, N.C.

3 Things to Remember if Your Home is For Sale During the Holidays

December 1, 2014 by Richard Callahan Leave a Comment

You followed your Realtor’s suggestions to declutter and de-personalize your home so that any potential buyers can picture their family living in your house instead of your family.  But now the holiday season has arrived and you’re stressing out about all of your decorations and traditions and wondering how to handle it. What should you do? The most important thing is don’t let your house being on the market interfere with your family’s traditions and enjoyment of the holidays. Here are the top three things to remember that can lower your stress and increase your holiday cheer.

1.  Chill.  This is still your home, the home where you and your family are living and making priceless holiday memories.

2.  Holiday decorations are pretty and holiday baking smells great.  This combination can even make your house more attractive to any potential buyers

3.  The market slows down considerably over the holidays.  For the most part, only serious buyers are out looking at houses this time of year.  And a serious buyer has different priorities.  Holiday decorations won’t deter a buyer with limited time to choose their new home.
