Seven Mile Times- Holiday Issue
Stop by our office on Friday for this year’s logo giveaway.
Hope to see you around town!
I have been taking advantage of the sunny fall days to update exterior and interior photos of rental listings using our new office camera. Â Tenants booking online often ask for my opinion, so it’s important to regularly walk through the properties to view any updates and the condition.
Whether a home is 3 years old or 30 years old, well maintained = clean carpets and furniture, newer mattresses and bed coverings, a functional kitchen, and comfortable deck furniture.
Tenants do not want to see marked up walls, stains on the rugs, faded sofas, or a rusty gas grill. Â And I would rather not use the word “tired” when describing a property to a potential tenant.
I am happy to help with recommendations.
Beautiful morning. Â Comfortable temperatures, a calm ocean, and dolphins!
I put my jacket on this morning, and touched the Euro that’s been in the pocket since our trip to France last fall.
I wore the coat in Paris, and the coin has been a nice reminder of our time there.
Today, it’s especially meaningful.
Incredible colors to start, and end each day.
High tide this morning = walking in the soft sand.  That slowed my pace…as did the views!

Loving the warm November temperatures, but we all know it will EVENTUALLY turn cold.
So repeating my check list to prepare your shore house for winter:
1) close crawl space vents (to prevent cold air from circulating under the house and freezing the pipes)
2) turn off and drain the outside shower and faucets
3) remove hoses from the frost free faucets
4) turn the heat on low if you are not completely winterizing the inside pipes
5) open the cabinet doors under all sinks to allow warm air to flow around the pipes
6) turn off the main water valve if possible to minimize damage in the event of a leak
7) turn off the water valves to the washer
8) unplug small appliances
9) lock all windows and doors- and secure storm doors and outside shower doors so they don’t blow open in the wind
If you are unable to check on your shore house on a regular basis, I recommend a winter watch service to provide peace of mind. Â Happy to share contact info for reliable inspectors.
P.S. Followed my own advice and crossed most of our “winter ready” chores off the list yesterday, including the least favorite job of closing the crawl space vents. Â This involves me on a skateboard (we have a cement floor in the crawl) trying not to bang my head as I scoot around!Â
A Beach Wedding
Well, that was fun!
A beautiful bride and handsome groom, perfect weather, and a great venue (The Flanders in Ocean City).
Thrilled for our son and the new Mrs. Delaney  🙂
