Did you know Charles Reinhart Company agent, Linda Forster, is on the Board of Washtenaw Camp Placement Association?
Washtenaw Camp Placement Association (WCPA) passionately believes that attending summer residence camp is a unique life experience that provides children an opportunity for growth in social, emotional, and physical well-being. Through community support, WCPA works to connect at-risk children to camps.
Linda was recently spotlighted by WCPA for contributing tremendous amounts of time and energy to the nonprofit for decades. Linda’s passion for the mission of the organization is clear and her dedication is inspiring. She understands how summer camp impacts children as well as how valuable and meaningful the experience can be.

The Charles Reinhart Company is proud to support Washtenaw Camp Placement Association! For more information about WCPA or to make a donation, visit their website.
A majority of buyers decide whether or not to look inside a house based on its curb appeal. In other words, a house is judged by the view from the street much like a book is judged by its cover. Investing some time working on the exterior appearance of your house can help make sure buyers come inside. Below are 5 helpful tips to make sure the view from the curb inspires buyers to see the inside as well.
- Make sure all gates work properly and are freshly painted or
treated.
- Display one or two large plants in containers on patios and
terraces.
- Keep your garden and patio clean of leaves, weeds and debris. Flower
beds should be weeded, lawns mowed and hedges clipped.
- Gardens need color, no matter what season it is. Plant pots with hardy,
variegated evergreens in the winter and colorful flowers in the
spring.
- Make sure the outside of your house is clean. Windows should shine and
gutters should be free of debris. If necessary, pressure wash dirty siding
of your house.
