 Today, I want to discuss a recent tragedy and what we can learn from it. Not long ago, a home caught on fire due to the dryer vent clogging up, and the home was destroyed as a result.

I have some tips for you to keep in mind so this doesn't happen to you. If you notice that your clothes aren't getting as dry as they usually do, it's a sign that your dryer tube may be clogging up. Keep an eye on that by taking a look at it twice a year and making sure your drying machine is getting the proper ventilation. Also, current code states that plastic tubes are dangerous, and that foil tubes should be used because they are flame resistant. 

I just wanted to share this with you because this could happen to anyone. 

I also want to do a little giveaway. Robeks is a smoothie shop at 135th St. and HWY 69 in Overland Park. They have a new flavor, Cinnamon Pear, and it's absolutely fabulous. The first four people to answer the following question will get a gift card to Robeks:

What's the leading cause of house fires?

If you email me the correct answer, the first person will get a $20 gift card, and the next three will get three Robeks smoothies! If you have any questions about the real estate market, or need our assistance, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to hear from you!
