Insurance Tip of the Month From Morrow Insurance - 08/27/09 02:37 PM
Insurance Tip of the month for September 2009: In years past, most households were composed of a husband and wife. Times have changed and households have become comprised of both married couples and couples living together. When economic times get tight, some people decide to seek a roommate to help with living expenses. There are a couple of limitations in the standard homeowner's policy that you should be aware of.
There is no personal liability insurance for individuals residing in the home who are not related to the person whose name appears on the homeowner's policy's declaration page. For example, your … (0 comments)

EarthTalk: Green Power for Homes - 08/25/09 01:29 PM
Dear EarthTalk: I’d like to know the relative electricity cost of utility scale solar and wind plants versus rooftop residential solar. In other words, how can I know whether to subsidize my utility’s alternative energy plant or renovate my own home? -- R.W. Making such a determination is complex, but you could start with “In My Backyard,” a new online tool by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). You first need to know your electricity usage and what size solar photovoltaic (PV) system or wind turbine you could install. Then, using Google Earth maps and data on the amounts of sunshine … (0 comments)

What happens when a lender can’t produce the original note? - 08/25/09 11:02 AM
Take notice folks and protect your investment and property!
Via Rick Misitano (Law Offices of James M. Bosco & Associates):
A growing number of homeowners around the country are using a foreclosure defense that may help them retain their homes. It’s called “Produce the Note” (as also being jointly advocated by The Consumer Warning Network) and we want you to know this is not a mere technicality that should be treated lightly by the lender or by the Court. Everyone needs to understand the importance of this issue. When a lender can’t produce the original note, allowing a foreclosure to proceed puts the … (1 comments)

For a free Radon Brochure send me all of your contact information and I will be happy to mail you one!

FACT: Although some scientists dispute the precise number of deaths due to radon, all the major health organizations (like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association) agree with estimates that radon causes thousands of preventable lung cancer deaths every year.

6 Reasons why your house won't sell a reblog from ALAN MAY - 08/21/09 12:59 PM
6 Reasons why your house won't sell.  Alan hit the nail on the head and felt it well worth my followers read it. Good job Alen!
1. Your photos are unimpressive. The vast majority of home buyers start their search for a home on the Internet, your house had better look great in print. Not just nice... downright fabulous.  Today we are considering internet views as a 'virtual showing'... if your house gets past that, then they might (just might) make an appointment to see it in person... We consider that your SECOND showing. Today's buyers are expecting good quality photos (and … (0 comments)

Investing in North Carolina Mountain Real Estate & Sylvan Heights - 08/21/09 12:51 PM
Investing in North Carolina Mountain Real Estate North Carolina Mountain lands have historically been a very solid real estate investment.

Sylvan Heights offers some of the best views in the county, and with its close proximity to Brevard, few developments will be able to compete. Even in the current real estate slump, after appreciating steadily for years, mountain lots in Transylvania Count NC have held their … (0 comments)

Transylvania County Library History a must visit when in Brevard NC - 08/18/09 01:39 PM
 The Transylvania County Library was founded in 1912 by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The library's collection began with the gift of 300 books willed to the city of Brevard by W. Lowndes Hume, the son of Robert W. Hume, a Confederate veteran and prominent Charlestonian.

The small green frame structure stood immediately east of the Courthouse, on property owned by the County. In 1956, the brick … (0 comments)
