Alarmist, Possibly!

But do you use Energy Efficent or Energy saving light bulbs normally called CFL bulbs, see the photograph for the type of bulbs we are talking about.

As Realtors, we sell homes.

Ever had a CFL Breakage Disclosure?

Have you ever disposed of an Energy Efficent bulb?

I hope that it did not go in the trash!

Ever broken an Energy Efficent bulb?

I hope not!

Now this might be the same for 60w type normal bulbs but I don't belive that is so. I know that you should not throw or break the long type flourescent tubes, but not many people have those in their homes.

The disposal and clean up instructions are typical examples and are not "Safe" or "Legal" instructions. They may also be different depending on your location.

Disposing of Burnt Out Bulbs  

  1. Seal the bulb inside two plastic bags, or one thick freezer bag, before disposing in the trash. You should throw the bulbs away only if you have no other options.
  2. 2Find the nearest recycling station that handles hazardous materials. Check with your city's municipal office to see if there is a recycling program in your town.
  3. Contact the recycling station if it is not in your city. They may or may not take your bulbs if your city does not allow or participate in such a program.
  4. Take the bulbs to the recycling station. Ask the people there about the process of giving them your bulbs and follow all their instructions.
  5. Tell everyone you know who is using energy efficient bulbs how to properly dispose of them as the use of these bulbs is growing.

If a Bulb Breaks

  1. Open a window and leave the room. Let no one inside for at least 15 minutes.

  2. Collect the fragments and powder with stiff paper or cardboard. Wear disposable rubber gloves. Do not use a vacuum cleaner.
  3. Clean the entire area with a wet wipe or wet paper towel. Use adhesive tape to collect excess powder.
  4. Seal all pieces and cleanup materials in a plastic bag. Follow the above procedures on disposal or recycling. Wash your hands completely afterward.
  5. Dispose of the vacuum bag in the same manner the next time you vacuum the area. If it's a canister vacuum, wipe it completely clean.

Some of the instructions I have seen have been far more daunting!

I am all for saving the planet as well as saving money, but I am not sure this is the way to do it!

 

You always need a smile!

Body parts aside. What other items have you heard of the sellers are throwing into the deal?

Cars and boats I have heard of. Anything stranger?

Via Jim Paulson (Owner/Broker) (Progressive Realty (Boise Idaho) www.Progressive-Realty.info):

Many Realtors around the country are facing the same problem - how to get buyers off the fence and commit to buying a home!

I have had more luck recently conceding that prices may in fact keep dropping a little, but am able to show my clients why it can still make sense to buy now!  For example, stock brokers quit aspiring to help you buy low and sell high since they were always getting beat up for not buying at the lowest and selling at the highest!  They started telling their clients to just "buy now and sell higher later" so they wouldn't get blinded with hindsight later.

For example, here are two scenarios:

  1. $250,000 mortgage today @ 5% = 
    Monthly Payment:
    $1,342.05 (Principal & Interest ONLY)

  2. If your buyer thinks the property values will decline 5% more in the next year, just agree with them! Then the mortgage would be $237,500 instead of $250K.  Because you agreed with them that things are still eroding, they might agree that interest rates will go up due to additional economic concerns so figure the same house at the reduced mortgage but increasing interest rates to 6%.  $237,500 mortgage at 6% = 
    Monthly Payment:
    $1,423.93 (Principal & Interest ONLY)

Therefore, by waiting for prices to drop another 5% due to the economy and if interest raise only 1% your effective payment is going to increase $81.88.  The effect of the payment increase will drop your buying power by roughly $13,500 at 6% so you wouldn't even be able to buy as nice a home!

Oh by the way, if you don't close by November 30th of this year, you also loose the potential $8k First Time Tax Credit!

This is possibly one of those "gem" bits of information to store away in the archives of one's mind.

It is not restricted to just real estate although it does have a possibly huge impact for any buyers who are intending using money from outside of the USA for a home purchase.

It has the potential for a significant gain in life events such as relocation to a foreign country and in the event of the dispersal of monies from an estate if crossing International borders.
When transfering money internationally the most frequent way is by check or "wire" from your or to your bank. The bank then exchanges the currency at the going rate and credits/debits your account.

Well, the bank exchange rates are competitive against each other, but they are not telling the whole story.

For example, if you were to received £100,000 and you deposited in your bank you would receive something like $142,000 due to the exchange rate.

Now if you had an option, would you prefer to receive an extra $7000 on top of this amount.
Well, now you do have that option.
The are companies that deal with currency exchange, no I do not mean the type of currency exchange companies you find at the airport. These are specialist brokers that deal normally with only their home currency. They are able to exchange currency at very nearly "market" rate. This is what makes the difference.

For example;
If the currency exchange (Forex) market rate for USD/GBP is 1.5000. Your bank is going to be in the region of 1.4200. A currency exchange broker is going to be able to get a rate of 1.4965 - 1.4950. That's a significant gain on your money.

You may think that people who move large amounts of money across international borders would know about this!
That's what I thought, but they don't always know.

If you are looking to move money from USA to UK or vice versa, try contacting Ashley Ingle at Excel Currencies.

You can contact him on the details below or on LinkedIn.com (http://uk.linkedin.com/in/currencybroker).Ashley Ingle Tel: +44 (0) 1322 221121 www.excelcurrencies.com

 

For other currency exchanges a simple web search should provide the answers or possibly contact Ashley for a recommendation/referral.

 

According to Tennis Resorts Online (http://ht.ly/1HJAC) Kiawah Resort takes the #1 spot for the second year running and Wild Dunes has moved up to the #2 spot in the Gold Medal category.

The data for these rankings comes from vacationers: people who pay for their holiday and thus have the best possible perspective on the quality of the experience. For 2010, the survey asked players to assess resorts and camps in 17 categories. Those included not only all aspects of the tennis experience but also such diverse off-court characteristics as the quality of the lodging, restaurants, children's programs, and value for dollar.
