Can 13 Bring Your Home A Little Luck?

Since October 13th is a Friday this year, we did a little research and here's what we found...

1. Never walk under a ladder.
2. When you move out of a house, leave the broom behind along with the dust and dirt of your old home.
3. Carry bread and salt with you when you first enter a new home (along with your new broom).
4. It’s bad luck to carry a hoe into the house.
5. Hang herbs with yellow flowers and feathery leaves over the door to protect your home from witches.
6. Paint your front porch blue to ward off ghosts.
7. Never put shoes on a dresser or table.
8. A house with windows on the east side, facing the sunrise will bring good luck.
9. Clean your house on the Chinese New Year to rid it of all bad luck.
10. Placing an acorn on a windowsill will protect a house from being struck by lightning... now you know why blind pulls looked like acorns.
11. Never open an umbrella inside.
12. Thursday is said to be the luckiest day to move into a new home.
13. Never pound a nail after sunset, or you’ll wake the tree gods and we wouldn’t want to do that.:)

Hurricanes And Real Estate... A Bad Combination!

As realtors, we focus so much of our time and energy on material things, like your home. When weather events occur, we all need to take a step back and remember what's important and what can be replaced. But for most, a house that has turned into a home full of memories is a tough loss and one that takes a lot of time and money to recover from... Our thoughts and prayers go out to all effected by Hurricane Harvey and remind everyone to support those that are one the front-lines helping everyone recover.  Red Cross Support   Samaritan's Purse Support
