Home Maintenance Tips for Spring

While we've had more than our fair share of rain over the past few months and we may be growing weary of soggy yards and green pollen, there is a definite upside to all of the rain - our trees and plants are loving it!

Although blossoms have already fallen from many of the flowering trees, the dogwoods are now in bloom, and all of the trees are popping their beautiful greenery. All of these signs of Spring are reminders that it's time to take care of our seasonal maintenance and prepare ourselves for the warmer weather that lies ahead.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Pook helped us find our perfect home. She was so patient with me while I looked at different houses over 3 trips to town. She looked out for our very best interest and security. She kept us informed on availability in our search. Once we found "the one" she guided us through the process and made sure that everything was done correctly and timely. She managed us (buyers), the seller's agent, the closing agent with professionalism and courtesy. We can't say enough great things about Pook. She is the best we have ever worked with!"

"I would summarize Pook Bellini in 4 words- "THE BEST REALTOR EVER." "I am sure that other clients who have worked with her as their realtor would agree with me. Because I was from out of state, I needed someone like Pook to represent me and guide me through the purshase of the home I bought. I am so thankful that Pook was recommended to me by a friend who had used Pook as their realtor. In return, I would highly recommend Pook Bellini to anyone needing a realtor."

"A chance meeting that turned into one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Pook is one of the best realtors I’ve ever worked with - the (survey) categories should have another top choice - like “AMAZING” - just for her. Helen Adams Realty is VERY lucky to have Pook representing them, and I hope I have the opportunity to recommend Pook to others who may need a great realtor."

"Pook was recommended by a friend and I am so thoroughly pleased that I reached out to her. She was with me each step-of-the-way which meant a lot to me. Although I am quite capable, it was very nice having that extra support and her to answer questions I had. It was an excellent experience working with Pook and I have already recommended her to multiple people. She listened very carefully and when providing matched listings they were in line with what I was looking for. Pook is a wonderful person and did a beautiful job working with me on the purchase of my new home in Tree Tops."

"Pook Bellini provided an impressive presentation of her marketing proposal and was forthcoming in answering all questions honestly. Her knowledge and candidness were highly influential in our selecting her as our realtor.

Pook Bellini's performance as our real estate agent was outstanding in all respects. She provided a comprehensive list of comparable homes such that we could intelligently price our home. She provided valuable insights into our community and the selling process. Her sales campaign planning and implementation were highly effective. She was always available to give us guidance and answer any questions we had. Since we were not in South Carolina throughout most of the selling process Pook made sure that the home was properly presented and represented us with various inspectors and contractors. She went above and beyond in all aspects of the sales process and we would definitely recommend her as an agent.

Pook Bellini is genuinely interested in the welfare of her clients. She is highly knowledgeable, professional and respectful in all her dealings with her clients. She is very articulate and provides clear and timely communications."

"Pook Bellini was a neighbor for 2 1/2 years, and we became good friends as well. Since I wanted to stay in a Sun City neighborhood, she was the perfect choice because of her first hand knowledge of our community. She understood my personal situation and I trusted her sincere desire to help me achieve a new place to call home in a caring and professional manner. Pook worked tirelessly finding me a home quickly, showing me prospects, and handling all the details of my closing. She communicated promptly with my mortgage agent, home inspectors and seller's real estate agent. My closing happened in less than three weeks because of her can do attitude and diligence. She is my amazing Energizer Bunny Real Estate Agent and friend! Thank you, Pook! You're the BEST!"

"As a resident of Sun City/Carolina Lakes, Pook Bellini has tremendous insight into this community. It was critical for us to find a realtor who not only knew this area, but was willing to work with us from Virginia. Pook was always available for us - day or night by phone or email. Pook represented us during the inspection for our new home and ensured all repairs were performed by qualified contractors, since we were not able to travel back to South Carolina. Choosing Pook Bellini and Sun City was definitely a win win for us. She proved to be a trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor, and now a friend as well."

"In my estimation Pook Bellini far exceeded our expectations. For us, she not only knew our requirements, but paid particular attention to my emotional state. I lost my mother earlier this year so moving away from family and friends was tough. She was caring and considerate beyond my expectation. I hope to remain friends with her for years to come. Outstanding. A real energizer bunny!"

"Pook helped my wife and I buy our first home together. She was extremely knowledgeable, reliable and always maintained great communication with us. Pook also helped me lease my old condo. She got it leased in under 3 weeks -- the last time I listed it, it took months before I even got any prospects. Pook is among the best in her field. We were lucky to have her as our agent and are proud to have her as a friend."
