One of the great things about living in Austin, Texas is the scenery. Do you have a favorite tree? The City of Austin is looking for nominations for the 2011 Tree of the Year. One large and one small tree on public or private property within the Austin city limits will be chosen. The winning trees will be based on proper tree selection, care and placement. Keep in mind, it must be located on or visible from public property. Make sure it is native to the area or on Austin’s Grow Green list (available at local nurseries).

Take the time to thoroughly clean, vacuum and organize your house before it initially goes on the market and try to keep in this condition. Three things that will stand out to visitors are your home’s floors, windows and doors. If they are in clean condition and good repair, this will make your Austin home more buyer-friendly. If you cannot do it yourself, consider hiring someone to take care of it for you.
