Watering Tips

    Sunday, May 23, 2010, 10:39 PM PST [Your Garden: Tips & Info]

    It's best to water in the morning hours for many reasons:

    • wind is typically calmer - preventing over-spray and evaporation.
    • the sun is not hot enough to evaporate - better soaking.
    • watering at night is not advisable as it invites fungus & disease as the plants stay moist all night - not properly drying out.
    • use a soaker hose or low flow drip systems instead of nozzle-spraying
    • be sure to replace your washers between the faucet and hose and nozzle and hose to prevent leaks.
    • use a 3" layer of mulch to stop weeds & maintain a moist planting bed.

    I simply set up the expectation when I take the listing. I never get seller pressure anymore because I sell (non shortsale listings) in 60 days or less so they don't have time to complain, using the Power Price Positioning method.



    But agents will always get flack from sellers when they don't first educate their clients on the process and what to expect. Most agents would never fire a client either.



    Most sellers still think Real Estate is a product, so they think that way. We are charged with educating them that real estate is a commodity, asnd therefor relies on value, not open houses and "bigger" ads.

    I am going to have to agree but......I have just returned from doing open houses for a Realtor in my office who clearly feels the pressure from her sellers and, Believe it or not, I actually came out ahead for the day! Can't believe it myself so it may all fizzle....Anyway, in principle I agree with you on this one!

    Hi,

    I just wanted to stop by, say hello, and see if I can generate any activity on this site. If you have anyone interested in real estate in southern NJ, send them my way. I pay top referral fees in the area.
