Where to Play Basketball in Richmond
Sure, a lot of our real estate agents are glued to the TV on March weekends catching the big games. But the fun and excitement of your full-court action are never far away here in Richmond.
There are plenty of gyms and community sports centers where you can enjoy a game or get your brand of exercise. Basketball, softball, tennis, swimming, and more are popular here.
Because the weather is so mild most of the year, you'll find plenty of indoor and outdoor courts to choose from. Plus, many communities have adult leagues and weekend teams to join. Of course, kids, teens, and twenty-somethings will find plenty of opportunities.
Let's look at five favorites for basketball in and around Richmond:

5 Tips for Improving Your Home's Smell Before Showings
It's no secret that selling your home quickly requires a bit of effort.
Our REALTORS® know from experience that tiny details can often make a world of difference with Richmond homes for sale. While everyone knows that curb appeal and cleanliness are important, the way a home smells can also make or break a deal. Luckily, it's easy to make your house smell amazing before your showings. Start with these five tips.
- Remove Bad Odors
First and foremost, you'll want to hunt down anything in the home that's causing bad odors and neutralize them. This may require steam cleaning carpets and upholstery, packing away old shoes, bathing the dog, and removing pet beds and litter boxes from the main living area. You'll also want to wash bedding frequently, keep up with dirty laundry, wash dishes immediately, clean out your fridge every week, and take the trash out daily. Baking powder and vinegar are both excellent for neutralizing odors in the home, and it's important not to underestimate the power of opening windows to let in some fresh air.

- Know Where the Stress Comes From
A big part of eliminating the nervousness that comes with getting your home ready for sale is knowing where that anxiety comes from. Many sellers consider selling their home within the desired time frame and selling their home at the desired price point as the main stressors, along with timing the sale to coincide with the purchase of a new home. These may be the sources of your worry, or it may be something different, but it's always important to identify precisely why you are nervous.
