blogging bremerton: Old Fashioned Service with the Technology of Today! - 03/24/08 03:03 PM
 
   
Are you aware of the advanced marketing trends of the new technology age of Real Estate?  As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1943-1964) I have lived a life of change. We are after all the generation that started it all! Boomers are associated with expressing individual freedom, the civil rights movement, gay rights, handicapped rights, right to privacy and the important feminist cause of the 1970's.  I don't call that slacking and I don't call it out of the loop.  Those movements taught us how change was good, how it could improve our lives and how it would lead to great things.  … (4 comments)

You all are probably thinking "who is this" and how does she have 100 blogs!!
I think I am an "under the radar" blogger.You can see by my stats that I do participate. I comment a lot - and not just my 10 per day.

blogging bremerton: Naval Base Kitsap | Is this Legal? Receiving Tax Breaks with Tax Free Money? - 01/06/08 06:01 PM
If you are in the United States Military and receive BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) it is. This is a huge financial opportunity that not many Military members take advantage of for fear of the real estate market and the lack of education concerning real estate ownership.
The average homeowner receives tax breaks associated with home ownership.  The yearly property taxes and yearly interest payments are tax deductible on their yearly tax return.

blogging bremerton: Bremerton WA Real Estate | Baby, It's Cold Outside - 01/02/08 06:55 PM

As I am sure we all suspected when Puget Sound Energy released its "merge" information - Puget Energy Signs Merger Agreement with Consortium of North American Infrastructure Investors it wouldn't be too long before we would see a request for a rate increase.  We were all right! Puget Sound Energy in a press release December 3rd has started the process for an increase.  Infrastructure investments, higher costs prompt Puget Sound Energy to request general rate increase for late 2008.
This could result in an average increase of approximately 9.5% for electric and 5.3 for gas.  With this kind of information you better … (6 comments)

The slogan and the campaign have been around Washington State for several years. During the Holidays there is always an emphasis on prevention of drinking and driving.

blogging bremerton: Be Green - Treecycle - 12/27/07 04:00 PM
Bremerton residents have the opportunity to Treecycle their Christmas tree until January, 15, 2008.  Just make sure you remove all the ornaments, tinsel and lights before taking it to the recycling drop area.  If your tree has been flocked or you have sprayed "snow" on it you will not be able to recycle because the chemicals used in flocking can be harmful to the environment.  
If you would like to receive the wood chips from the recycled trees you can visit the Kitsap County web site for directions. Kitsap County Treecycle Program.
Below is the Bremerton drop off locations.

blogging bremerton: Bremerton WA Homeowners | What do you know about your Homeowner's Policy? - 12/22/07 10:15 PM
 
How many times have you shopped around for homeowners insurance?  This seems to be an item that is left to the last minute and then rushed.  I am sure several new homeowners have just gone with who the lender or escrow agent has recommended because it was quick and easy. Did they get the best deal? Who knows?  I am sure that no one did much research on their behalf. 
Have you ever compared rates and coverage on any of your home purchases? Have you ever changed insurance carriers after you have closed?  You pay hundreds of dollars a year … (3 comments)

blogging bremerton: Have a Cell Phone just laying around? Donate it to - Cell Phones for Soldiers! - 12/14/07 03:12 PM

 Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist in April of 2004 with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million in donations and distributed more than 400,000 prepaid calling cards to sailors, soldiers, airmen and Marines serving overseas.
Here is how it works.  The cell phones collected are then sent to ReCellular, which in return pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone.  The donation is enough to provide an hour of talk time to a military member deployed or stationed overseas.
An estimated 130 million cell … (10 comments)

Let's buy a house!  You have heard all the media accounts concerning the real estate market in your area. Is it a buyer's market? Is it a neutral market? Do the prices reflect the truth about today's real estate?  You have heard a lot of different stories, theories and spin.  Make sure you are listening to your local professionals, the real estate professionals in your area.  They know the area you want to be a player in.  Do you feel like you are on a TV Game show!!??  Maybe the one titled "Press Your Luck"?

blogging bremerton: New I-5 lanes and ramps in Tacoma ~ What a Pleasure to Drive From Bremerton to Seattle!! - 12/12/07 02:50 PM
 
Have you driven the new I-5 at the 16 exchange?  I use to drive over to the "other side" about 4 days per week and that spot merging onto the I-5 always scared me to death!! I had no idea how many accidents were. Being out of the area the last couple of years I had no idea what all the construction was about. So when I heard on KIRO that the new lanes would be opened I was like - oh, that is what that is!!!  Yesterday was the first time I drove over to Seattle from Bremerton and oh … (4 comments)

That is why you want me on your side!! Those two statements might have seemed like trouble when we were 4 but now as adults they are very important. In the business world today you need someone that is willing to be BOLD and BUCK the norm. 
When you are buying, selling or investing in real estate you need a professional that will think
