Smells so good!

Last night I went to a friend's house for a dinner party and her home smelled so great! I thought that maybe they had new carpet or something, but when I asked, she said it was a Tyler Candle. I've had one of these candles before and they smell so great! I get headaches easily so I always have to get just the right scent that won't be too strong for me. She was burning their signature "Tyler" scent and it was so nice and not overwhelming. It's the perfect scent to burn if you are preparing your home for a showing. It's so important to keep your home smelling great for showings and it looks like Tyler candles is the way to go! I've seen them at The Market in Edmond over near Quail Springs Mall and I've also seen them at Inspirations. What do you think about Tyler Candles and what is your favorite scent? Call us today if you're preparing to sell your home or if you're in the market for a new home!

Leaf Me Alone!

I don't know about you, but fall leaves are really starting to bug me! They're everywhere, especially in my entryway and on the paws of our dogs when they come running in the house! You know what that means, leaves all over the floor inside. I actually have a leaf blower which can also suck the leaves up and is great for leaf removal. I used it the other day and our yard looked great, I thought I was going to get ahead of the leaves this year! That is until the Oklahoma wind decided to come in and blow the rest of the leaves off of the huge tree in our front yard, coating it again! Now it's back to square one!

Leave removal isn't just necessary for for cosmetic reason, especially when selling your home, but it's necessary for the health of the yard. Leaves that stay on the lawn can cause the lawn to turn yellow and may even die back. Matted leaves on the ground even encourage some types of diseases to develop that can adversely effect your lawn's health the following year.

So if you're selling your home, or not selling, be sure to get those leaves out of there! If you have decided to sell your home, call The Atchley Group today at 330-2626, we specialize in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Deer Creek, Yukon and Piedmont.

Thanksgiving Is Coming!

I found a great article on About.com about the best places in Oklahoma City to do your Thanksgiving shopping. Estimated cost is figured by adding non-coupon prices obtained in November 2007 for the following items of comparable brand: 12 pound turkey, 12 dinner rolls, 2 cans green beans, 1 pound sweet potatoes, 1 box stuffing, 1 can cranberry sauce, 5 pound bag potatoes, 1 frozen pumpkin pie. Here's the breakdown:

Wal-Mart - Pros: Odds are there's one very near you. The prices are typically quite competitive and the selection diverse. It's the best option for "one-stop" shopping.

Cons: Plan on it being one of the more crowded options for Thanksgiving shopping as well. The shelves will be stacked, but you may have to fight through the people to get to what you want. Patience is definitely required here.

*Estimated Cost: $22.68
Target - Pros: Targets always seem to be very clean and well-kept. You'll find quality brands and food products including an extensive bakery, produce section and fresh as well as frozen turkeys.

Cons: Although the rest of the store always is quite spacious, the grocery section seems less so. The prices are good on turkeys, but you may not find the name brand ones you prefer.

*Estimated Cost: $27.51
Crest Foods - Pros: Of the purely grocery store options, this is probably your best bet as far as sheer quantity of brands. There really isn't a weak section of the store at Crest, and you can get extra savings with coupon specials.

Cons: Although large, Crest can often seem just as crowded as Wal-Mart, particularly around Thanksgiving.

*Estimated Cost: $24.39
Homeland - Pros: Homeland is a pleasant shopping experience, rarely crowded and conveniently compact. The store doubles coupons with the use of a "One" card for extra savings, and you'll find the major brands you seek.

Cons: The selection is not nearly as great as the other stores, and the prices are higher overall. If you don't use a "One" card, you'll often pay more than you would at other places.

*Estimated Cost: $28.43
Williams Grocery - Pros: Williams is another similar to Homeland in the not-too-crowded sense. The stores are almost always very clean, and you'll find some of the freshest produce around. They have fresh as well as frozen turkeys for Thanksgiving too.

Cons: Despite the better prices after changing to Williams, I still find an item or two on occasion that seem a decent amount above some other places. This may be a good place to go when you have an educated handle on shopping value. You can just avoid those higher items and pick them up quickly at another store.

*Estimated Cost: $23.59
