Cary Real Estate Blog

My husband recently traveled to China for 2 weeks and for him it was an amazing opportunity.  Although traveling for business, he was able to take advantage of his location and explore a few cities on his own.  While sightseeing in Shenzhen City, he located an interesting artist napping in front of his paintings.  Before you know it,  a painting was being packaged for him to bring home. 

As the office manager, so much of my time at LG Real Estate is spent supporting buyers and sellers in selling a home or choosing the right Cary area house to make their home.  I’ve lived in my Preston home for about 9 years and have learned a few design tips over the years. 

One design tip is to frame your art for the piece, rather than the room. 

So…even as your tastes change or that once neutral paint gets dull and needs a lift, you can still enjoy your art of any price in any room. 

With our new unframed painting, our family packed up the car Saturday morning to run some errands.  First on the list was to drive the short distance to Bev’s Fine Art in North Raleigh.  Bev Kesterson, the owner of the art gallery and custom framing shop, works some weekdays and most Saturdays.  She has the greatest eye for what type of frame works for each painting.  I hardly have to do anything but agree with her and the perfect frame is selected.   My husband and my 2 boys enjoyed the outing as well.  It’s always a great cultural experience for my husband and I to take our boys into a gallery and introduce them to different types of art.  Bev, with her lively personality, is quite the entertainer and she shared a photo on her laptop with my boys of her latest personal art purchase.  A painting that they found quite funny to see…a self portrait of a man, just standing there against a wall.

For any of our Cary, NC clients seraching for new art or reframing current artwork, I would highly recomend a trip to Bev’s Fine Art.  As Bev says on her website, www.bevsfineart.com, she “specializes in making a house YOUR home”.   Our team at LG Real Estate couldn’t agree more.

I love Panera Bread, our 2nd office here in Cary, NC.  My name is Lenda Goulding and I am Realtor here in Cary with LG Real Estate and YSU Homes.  Our Real Estate office is located in the Preston Walk Shopping Center directly across from Panera Bread.

I find a wonderful way to start my day is to drop by Panera, order my drink of choice (Icy Mocha Grande), and plan my daily activities.  Panera is light, bright, and full of positive energy.   The menu is diverse with plenty of delicious choices that change with the seasons.  Panera Bread, as their website proclaims, ” is a Symbol of Warmth and Welcome”.  I always find myself saying hello and chatting with friends, neighbors, and clients. 

I frequently visit our 2nd office because it is a welcome change of pace, I love the smell of coffee, and it feels like home.  The Panera staff is friendly and courteous and the management is sensitive to customer and community needs.  On several occasions, they have donated coffee, bagels, and other menu items to local charities and church events. 

So what does Panera Bread have to do with Real Estate?  Plenty!!  Today’s real estate market consists of a myriad of forms, disclosures, contingencies, and inspections in order to buy or sell a home.  At LG Real Estate like Panera Bread, we value the warmth and welcome of a trusting client relationship.  Our mission is to make buying or selling a home simple, enjoyable, and valuable for all our clients … all the time.  

So stop by Panera Bread in the morning for your favorite cup of coffee and try their new breakfast panini sandwich.  After enjoying your morning treat, walk across the parking lot to York, Simpson, Underwood and the LG Real Estate office.  Ask for Lenda, I would love to meet you.
