Relocation Specialists: Helping Military Families Feel at Home
We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to members of the military for the sacrifices they make, along with their families. In April, we pay tribute to the next generation by observing the Month of the Military Child. Let's take a look at the unique relocation needs of military families and how our real estate agents can help streamline the process.
What's Involved in a Military Relocation?
What are some of the challenges faced by a military family when they relocate?
- Personal choice isn't part of the equation. The family has to make their home near the military member's assigned station.
- The military member may be deployed at another location, leaving the remaining spouse to make most of the decisions solo.

How Renovation Loans Can Boost an Aging Housing Market
Morgantown homes for sale run the gamut from brand new to full of history. The median age of a home in the United States is 37 – half are older and half newer. Some markets skew toward older homes, so buyers get even more value when they're prepared to do a little renovation. No matter when your new home was built, our real estate agents want to help you make the most of it.
Buyers shouldn't be intimidated by the thought of renovating a home. Making a few upgrades and updates will put your own imprint on the property from the very beginning. At Heritage Real Estate, our team has been working on innovative ways to make the whole process easier for you.
That's why it's important to know about the Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation Loan.

Morgantown, WV: Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
Many families honor the time-held tradition of selecting a live Christmas tree. I look forward to it every year! Choosing my own tree got me thinking about the history of the Christmas tree and its origins as part of the holiday season in the United States.
We have 16th-century Christians from Germany to thank for bringing their custom of indoor decorated trees to the United States. While some decorated wood pyramids with evergreen branches and candles, it is believed that Protestant Reformer Martin Luther took things a step further. In an effort to replicate the twinkling stars of the night sky, Luther purportedly added candles to an actual evergreen tree.
While Christmas may look a bit different this year, we can still capture the beauty of the season with a decorated live tree. Join me, along with our real estate agents, in another year of observing this heartwarming tradition with a tree from one of these great sources around Morgantown.
