What are your best tips for homeowners this season?

"Since winter is coming, we suggest doing things that can improve your way of life inside your home. Unfortunately in the VA, MD, and DC area, the weather outside is downright frigid, so take advantage and stay indoors and get organized! Change batteries in smoke alarms. Clean out the refrigerator. Clean out closets and donate unused items. Clean range hood and filters. Declutter home office. Check sump pump for proper operation"

Will you have any show specials?

"We are featuring the top Relocation and Retirement Communities in Coastal North and South Carolina! Stop by and take our lifestyle survey to see which communities fit your needs from a lifestyle, location, and price."

What are your home and garden pet peeves?

"Not cleaning out the chimney! Chimney inspections should be scheduled once a year. To be sure that all of your systems are in working order and operating as they should, it is recommended that homeowners get an annual chimney inspection. Most homeowners opt to have a chimney cleaning done every year as well, especially if they use their fireplace on a regular basis."
