HOUSING ASSISTANCE
Interested in Building a new home in the City Limits of Wellsville or Baldwin City?  Call Mid-America Bank today and ask about qualifying for a home loan to build that includes $20,000 in housing assistance!  

 

 
Real Estate Tip

When determining your budget for purchasing a home don't forget to include items that you will need to maintain your home.  Here are a few examples:

  • If you are wanting to purchase acreage, you will also need to ensure you can afford machinery or items necessary in maintaining that acreage. 
  • If you are thinking about purchasing a home with a long drive way in the country, ensure you have the budget to maintain gravel for that driveway

Yes you can maybe afford the payment, but think beyond that and consider costs to live there.  Those additional items are what can get homeowners into real trouble,  either not being able to afford them and leaving your property in disarray or not being able to afford your payment because of them.

 

                              

Dear Community Member,

 

Welcome to the latest edition of the "In The Loop" 
e-mail newsletter.  With this e-mail blast we'd like to not only hit our Wellsville Community, but our neighboring towns as well along with anyone who has any interest in what is going on in our community.  We hope that as you forward this to family members and friends that will grow to reach more people, all they have to do is click on Join our mailing list above and they will be placed on the list to obtain this update.  
We understand there is a need in our area for people to stay "In the Loop" and while we are working to get the word out about our properties for sale, in addition we can get the word out about messages and information you want to share with everyone around you.   
If you need to get the word out on any upcoming events, announcements or you just want to share good news please feel free to send us your information and we will include it in our next "In the Loop" e-mail newsletter.   If you are a business and would like to advertise your business in this   e-mail twice a month you can do that for $20 per month. Please send your information to barbara@laytonre.com.
Thanks!
 
It's almost spring again and time to start thinking how a weed free and beautiful lawn will make your home even more inviting.  March is the month to control crabgrass before it comes up.  Signup for our weed control and fertilization program and enjoy a week and insect free lawn all season long!
 

     Looking to complete that project?      Finish it with quality!

Marriage encounter is a weekend away for couples who want to take their marriage from good to great!  It's not a retreat, it's not a seminar - it's one of a kind - just like your marriage.  Here, in a comfortable, secluded environment, expertly trained couples guide you through carefully honed, dynamic communication techniques that open up discussions about money, family, sex, and God.  A nonrefundable registration fee of only $75 per couple reserves your place at a Marriage Encounter Weekend.  Marriage encounter covers your meals and hotel, and that low cost helps us welcome couples from any walk of life.  At the end of the weekend, you'll have an opportunity to give other couples the chance to change their lives - just like you have.  For more information contact Pastor Curtis Wright.  913-963-0455.

You matter to us - What sets us apart is the personal attention you will receive.  As a professional family owned company we take great pride in how we conduct each transaction, and your satisfaction is our top priority!
 
A big real estate company and teams of agents work with each client individually just as we do.  They do not sell the homes they list any faster or for any more money. It's simple, it's about focusing on our customers. 
 

Your Trusted Advisors 

 Real Estate is a "Reputation based business"  and we will always work hard to maintain your trust and loyalty.  When working with an agent from Layton Real Estate we understand that we represent you, and the reputation we've built affects our clients and can affect your transaction. 

 

 Our promise to you is we will always show courtesy, trust, and resepect when representing you weither it be to another Realtor or a prospective buyer/seller.  That is in your best interest.    As  YOUR Realtor we are held to a higher standard - We look forward to representing you.

 

 
 

 

Every year hundreds of young adults, ages 15-19, are killed in alcohol or drug related accidents.  Many of these occur during the prom and graduation season.

 

The WHS Booster Club is organizing an After Prom Party on April 18, 2015 from 11:30pm to 4:00am.  We offer a drug and alcohol free, safe after prom party for the students of Wellsville High School and their dates.  We provide games, activities, food, and prizes during this event.

Wellsville has a strong and proud tradition in our prom festivities.  Since 1993 the Booster Club has provided an After Prom Party.  This is a self-supported project sustained by our fund raising events as well as individual and business donations of money, gift certificates or other items.  All donations will be used for the After Prom Party. 

If you can help this year we'd love to hear form you.  Please call Valerie Broers at 785-241-0668 to find out how you can help. 

Your donations to the After Prom Party would be greatly appreciated and will help us to keep our children safe.  Thank You! 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Thank you to those helping to build a stronger community!

Help shape your community and improve the well being of you and your neighbors
