Are You up for a Challenge? - 01/27/09 12:17 PM
What if...
What if every adult in the United States gave a couple of hours of time every month to volunteering in 2009? 
Four hours a month is not much time, is it?  It is one evening a month of watching of television.  An hour once a week of playing around on the computer.
What good could be done in four hours a month?
It is one hour once a week at a local nursing home playing cards with seniors, reading aloud to a bedridden elder, playing guitar or piano. When you pick up your child from the after school program, … (1 comments)

Understanding pre-approval and pre-qualification - 01/20/09 04:03 PM
Are you pre-approved?  Have you been pre-qualified?  These are questions your realtor may ask you when you start the process of looking for a home.  Many people use the two terms interchangeably, but they do not mean the same thing at all.
A letter of pre-qualification indicates that a buyer has spoken with a mortgage lender. It means that the buyer has given the mortgage lender information about income, monthly debts, and assets. The lender runs an electronic credit report. Then, based upon credit score and the information the buyer gave the lender, the lender estimates the amount of the mortgage … (0 comments)

Walking in a Winter Wonderland - 01/13/09 04:26 PM
It happened again today. 
My buyer and I pulled up to a home in the country.  The setting was wonderful - mature trees dotted the spacious yard.  Such a peaceful spot.  The snow stretched out in front of us, unblemished by anything more than the tracks of a few animals.
Wait a minute.  That unblemished snow covered the driveway and front walk. 
We had 40 inches of snow in December, more in January.  There was a thaw in between there, but there was still close to three feet of snow stretching out for about hundred yards between us and the house.  … (2 comments)

"If only I had known!" - 01/06/09 02:22 PM
 
It seems to happen every year:
A seller has a vacant home and does not get there to check on things regularly because of being busy or being out of the area. The homeowner assumes everything is fine because the furnace was running and the heat was set at 55 degrees.
A family goes out of town for vacation.  They are only going to be gone a week, a few short days.  They turn the furnace down a little and merrily head out for their getaway without a care in the world.
Until the unthinkable happens. A power outage … (4 comments)
