Litter and Trash Rob Value from Our Communities

Street litter and blowing household trash rob value from our communities. When potential residents and visitors come to Cabell County, they form a lasting impression of our area. I am concerned that they make a "yes" or "no" decision to live and work here based on how they judge the "appearance" of our area. No one wants to live in an area that reflects a lack of pride, because citizens seem oblivious to the "trashy" look of their neighborhoods.

And, so, houses don't sell - or they sell for much less than they should. Don't be fooled - the "Fair Market Value" of all residential real estate depends on many factors, and the "curb appeal" of a particular property and its neighborhood dramatically affect the sales price. Ask any local Realtor, and they will tell you that neighborhood litter and the condition of other homes around a house placed on the market for sale is the "kiss of death" for any attempt to get top dollar in the sales transaction.

If you are concerned about your property's "curb appeal", or your neighborhood's "curb appeal", why not improve the chances of the value of your property increasing. How? Simply join the Adopt YOUR Block - Be a Litter-Gitter program. We supply the "litter-stick" so you don't have to bend over or touch anything, and you supply a little time each week to keep your own block, or road, free of litter and cigarette butts. You will love the results of your efforts, and your neighbors will notice and will want to join you in keeping your neighborhood's property values right up where they should be. Think of your time on the litter as an investment in your property.

Call me at 523-7902, and I will gladly deliver you a "litter-gitter" stick. There is no charge, and I will even help you pick up until we get things squared away.

Together, we will accomplish anything we can imagine.
