Saddlebrook Estates is located within the Keller School District.  The district maintains an excellent reputation for academics and athletics.  Schools serving the neighborhood are Keller Harvel Elementary, Bear Creek Intermediate, Keller Middle School, and Keller High School.

A great number of residents of the city of Keller work and live in Keller, but many also commute west toward Fort Worth and east to the Dallas area.  Golden Triangle Boulevard has been widened for improved access to Fort Worth and the west while an extensive project to enhance thoroughfares to the east (Highway 114 and Highway 121) is nearly complete.

Holiday Safety Tips from the Grove Team


Holiday Safety Tips from the Grove Team

The Grove Team would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a wondrous holiday season.  We are grateful to you, your business, your support and look forward to what 2014 has in store for all of us. 

The final bow is in place and we are all read settle in to spend this wonderful time of year with our family and friends.  It is hard to think that not everyone wants to play the part of the Christmas Elf, but be the Grinch.  The opportunist criminal can strike without notice, if the circumstances are optimal. 

To avoid a blue Christmas and an innocent victim we would like to pass along to you a few safety tips to assist in keeping you aware while enjoying the Christmas season.  Here is a quick list of safety tips for the last minute shopping, travel and holiday season. 

Holiday Shopping Tips:
• Try to finish shopping during the daylight hours if you can. When going out at night, go with a friend or family member.
• Never forget to lock your vehicle when you're out shopping, keep your windows rolled up, do not leave the keys in the ignition, and remember to hide other shopping bags and leave valuables out of view.
• Try not to overload yourself with too many packages.  Hold your bags and packages close to you. 
• Don't wait until you reach your vehicle to look for your keys. Have them ready in your hand.
• Go with a plan...make sure you know what you're purchasing in advance and carry only the amount of cash or credit cards you need.

Home Safety Tips While Away For The Holidays:
• Make sure to keep an inventory of serial numbers on items such as televisions, stereos, computers, etc. Should your items get stolen from your home, they may be identified later if found.
• Never leave your holiday lighting unattended, when leaving the house turn off the Christmas tree - indoor and outdoor lights should be on an automatic timer.
• Double check that all stoves and ovens are off prior to leaving your home.
• Lock all doors and windows prior to leaving your residence.  If you have an alarm, activate it through this season. 
• Leaving town?  Talk to a trusted neighbor, friend or family member to watch your home in your absence.

At Home:
• Try not to display holiday gifts near a window or door in your home, burglars may see this as an opportunity to break in.
• Expecting a package to be delivered?  Criminals sometimes pose as couriers delivering gifts.
• Tis the season to donate, plan your donations before hand.  Criminals have been known to go door to door soliciting donations for charities.
• Always turn off Christmas lights when leaving the house or when going to bed.
• Always keep doors locked at all times.

Finally, after the frenzy of opening presents has come and gone, break down boxes of the new toys and gifts and bag them in dark or black trash bags.  Criminals have been known to drive around after Christmas to see what is left in the trash piles.

Alert to Computer Virus Conduit

Alert to Computer Virus Conduit

Lynn McClish, co-team leader for the Grove Team recently had an experience with a computer virus called Conduit.  In an effort to prevent others from the same fate, she wanted to share her journey in the world of computer viruses: 

"This post is based purely on personal experience, and I am not a computer expert, but my encounter with the program Conduit was so negative that I thought I would alert followers of our blog.

Last week I realized that Bing had taken over my browser and all of my requests to visit specific sites were being redirected to other sites.  For example, I would type in www.norton.com to learn how to deal with the virus and be redirected to another Internet security company with a site that looked like Norton's.  It was absolutely miserable.

When I searched Google for information, I found hundreds of similar complaints and some suggestions of ways to deal with Conduit.  I wasn't able to make any of the suggestions work for me.  I finally purchased Norton's one time virus removal ($99.00) and the third technician was finally able to clean the virus from my system.

In short, do not download any program that mentions Conduit.  I am very careful about my downloads and am convinced that I contracted the virus because I agreed to an update from a major company (e.g., Microsoft or Adobe.)"

Staging your Home for Sale During the Holidays

Staging your Home for Sale During the Holidays

Whether you are selling a home for the first time or you are experienced in the process, selling your home can be stressful.  When you are selling over the holidays the added hustle and bustle can create a new dynamic to contend with. 
 
The Grove Team's experience can help you through each step of the process.  Here are some helpful tips and tricks to get your through selling during the holidays! 
 
Regardless of the time of year, a clean, organized and decorated property goes a long way creating an inviting property. Properly staging your home will help buyers envision themselves and their belongings in the space. Staging a home can not only be simple and inexpensive, as a seller it is possible to justify the asking price if the property looks great and highlights the key features.
 
 
Follow these four steps to stage your properties for the upcoming holiday season:
 
1. Staging Basics – Before starting any holiday staging, you must first start with the basics: neutralizing rooms, returning them to their intended purpose, fixing damage, etc. 
 
2. Choose a Theme – What is the particular holiday you want to focus on? Or do you prefer a season such as fall or winter?  Selecting a theme will keep things stream-lined and easier to decorate.

3. Generalize for Reuse – To minimize costs, choose items and a theme that you can easily re-purpose after the holiday season.  Recreate classic items like wreaths, pumpkins, table runners and topiaries that never go out of style.  This means less cost for you and a more seamless transition through the season.

4. Have Fun – Select staging options, themes and items that are going to excite you while you use them and arrange them in your home.  Enthusiasm is contagious and will hopefully rub off on the buyer.

Not ready to put your home on the market during the holidays?  It is never too early to start planning for next year.  Visit the Grove Team's website to learn more about a successful sale, preparing for pictures and more!
