- 01/20/24 09:47 AM
Some of my radio listeners have asked about this concern.
They have heard ads warning that their homes can be stolen right from under their noses. The solution, the ad says, is to buy title lock insurance.”
What exactly is this service? Is it something you need to keep your home safe from property thieves? Are other safeguards already in place to protect the deed to your home?
Q: What is title lock insurance?
A: First, title lock insurance is not title insurance. These are two very different things. Title insurance protects real estate purchasers and lenders from losses arising after a real … (28 comments)

Hot Tips for a Cool Fireplace: Keep It Safe and Toasty!
Fireplaces are awesome! They make your home feel cozy and warm and are perfect for snuggling up with popcorn, a good book, or a movie.
But it would be best if you cared for them so they're safe and working well. Sometimes, the chimney can get clogged up with soot and creosote, so it's best to have a professional clean it. You should also check that the chimney caps and screens are in good condition to keep out water and critters.
When using your fireplace, make sure you're burning dry and seasoned … (17 comments)

When working with a seller, it's essential to understand their motivation when buying or selling a home.

This allows the seller to find the home of their choice within a short amount of time after an offer is made. As a real estate agent, it's essential to ask the right questions and understand your client's needs to provide the best possible service.

I understand that "Artificial Intelligence" may not sound appealing to everyone. The acronym AI doesn't sound right to me and makes me feel like it's something I should avoid. The name seems to be a bit misleading and wrong.
We all desire accurate information and access to the latest programs to save time and make work more enjoyable. Sometimes, we need to create graphics or use programs like iPiccy, Grammarly, and GPS to reach our destination faster. But we shouldn't try to do everything at once. While we receive numerous emails daily promoting the latest AI courses, the technology is not new … (15 comments)

AI: The Assistant We Didn't Know We Needed (But Can't Live Without)
Over the years, I have unknowingly utilized the power of artificial intelligence. I realized I was using AI only recently, and now I am excited to learn more about its potential.
I have used programs to check my spelling and point out mistakes. But recently, it has also been helpful when writing, as I can ask for improvements, shorten or lengthen sentences or paragraphs, and adjust the word count to meet specific requirements for articles or posts.

homerome: Kindness Doesn't Cost A Thing
- 12/27/23 09:50 PM
My mother was an extraordinary woman who faced so many challenges in her life. She came to the US from Germany at age 21 without knowing anyone or speaking English. At 39, she became a widow and was left to raise her two children while running a restaurant in Virginia. She worked tirelessly every day, from early morning until late at night. Despite the difficulties she faced, she was loved and admired by everyone in town for her hard work and determination.
When I moved her to Baltimore, she quickly became involved in the community. She gave generously to charity and people … (18 comments)

As we approach the New Year, it's important to remember the season's true meaning: expressing appreciation through acts of kindness. I'm calling people who relocated to new residences in the past year.
