We’ve already received nice emails about recent changes to our web site. Lots of behind-the-scenes upgrades and we are now adding bigger property photos like these. (You need to click on the smaller photos to see the big ones!) Research has shown photos are the No. 1 feature buyers want to see on real estate web sites. We now have the biggest photos in Lincoln. Note: Because of MLS limitations, we’re only able to offer the big photos on our own listings, but we think they really make a difference.

We’ve also made our web site more social: You can now login with your Facebook, Gmail or Yahoo account to ask a question on our site. Or click the Recommend button on each property to share it with your friends on your Facebook page. Our agents all have blog pages now that update with our new Facebook pages. More big changes are in the works … all part of our commitment to being the technology leader for real estate sales in our fair city.

Make Sure that Fireplace has had a Good Cleaning

We’d really like to sell you a new house, but not at expense of your old one. As temperatures drop, now is the time that people are using fireplaces for the first time all year. Dirty or blocked fireplaces can be a real hazard. We’re reminded of one home owner who set off a carbon monoxide detector on a converted gas fireplace after forgetting to open his flew. Now is the time to review fireplace safety with your family members. If you have any doubts, ask an expert. It’s also a great time to check batteries in fire alarms and install or replace your carbon monoxide detector. Remember to also change your furnace filter.

We’ll Probably Never Sell A Home on Mars But This is Still Neat

With holiday shopping and Nebraska coaching rumors, you might have missed the NASA announcement that challenges our assumptions about the building blocks of life. Turns out that arsenic-based lifeforms can exist. That’s a big deal to NASA because it means the next time we go hunting for life outside of our little planet, we shouldn’t just look for aliens made of the old reliables: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Couple that with the report that there are three times as many stars up there as previously thought and it makes you wonder what might be out there.

Around the holidays, it also is a scientific message that carries a little bit of hope. Life, it seems, finds a way.
