    To say we have been going through a heat wave is an understatement. Temperatures have climbed into the triple digits. Let’s face it…It’s hot!

    Is there something you can do to help protect your lawn and plants? What options are available? And what are the dos and don’ts in the summer when it is this hot?

    Expert Advice in Moving from A Moving Expert

    When you are selling or buying a home there is also the thought of how you are going to move your belongings from one place to another.







    Even the most seasoned buyer or seller will tell you that moving their possessions are not the easiest of the most fun.







    And then there are considerations about how long the move will be. It might be one thing if you are moving across town, but what if you are moving across the state or the country?







    And what about children? What should you consider when it comes to moving them?







    And what about preparation? What are your options?







    It is these questions and more we plan to address and answer on this week’s episode of Real Estate Right Now. CEO of Johns Moving and Storage Jill Merritt joins to give us insights into your next move.

Gretchen coley ,

Great Info

Jay and the entire Linda Craft team do a great job with this series. It's great relevant information for those looking to buy and sell in the Raleigh market!

Pepperjellymarket ,

Great expert advice!

As a prospective first time homebuyer this podcast taught me SO much about houses and the housing market from the ground up. It’s especially helpful if you live or plan to live in the Raleigh/Durham area in North Carolina (since they give local housing market updates) but honestly a lot of the info would help anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you Jay and Linda Craft team for making this info available!!
