    <description>I have assisted buyers in the purchasing homes throughout Whatcom County as well as listed and sold many homes through referrals. On the other hand, I have many clients who are very internet savvy and did a lot of the looking on the internet and did drive bys as well.  Rarely do my clients want &quot;tours&quot; of homes except on a first time out.  Mostly we target homes to see via the internet and jump up and meet at only the best homes.  Buying a home and the home search process has gone way beyond looking at what is &quot;for sale&quot;.  Often it involves the home listed 30 minutes ago and finding property that is not for sale.  Life has changed quite a bit in the World of real estate lately.  No more old old fashioned real estate except for the fact my clients still rely on my expertise and friendship to get them through the task and joy of purchasing a home.</description>

      <title>Market Value Basics</title>
      <description>&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 1ex;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Market Value  Basics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Setting the right price for a property  is important whether you are planning to sell or buy a home. Only by  knowing the right &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt; can you judge the right price for a home.  Most people do not understand what &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt; is and end up selling  their homes at a loss or paying too much when buying. If you wish to  make an intelligent decision when buying or selling a property then  it is crucial to fully understand what &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt; is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;The first thing to understand is that  the assessed value of a home is not its &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. The assessed value  is used by the tax authorities to calculate property taxes. Each municipality  has different factors that drive the assessed value. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt; of the property is calculated by taking into consideration the state  of the market, recent sales of similar property, current availability  of similar property, and other conditions. These two values are completely  unrelated and can be vastly different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yourwhatcomagent.com&quot;&gt;Realtor&lt;/a&gt; or Appraiser has to factor  in many things when determining &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. For example the neighborhood has less to do  with assessed value than it does with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. A good neighborhood  means higher &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. The location of the property is equally important.  The property is assessed based on things like proximity to business  districts, highway, town center, and so on. Taking a line from the hotel  industry, location is everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;The next thing is the condition of  a home. Newer or well-maintained homes have higher &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. Homes  typically in need of repair have lower &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. The more repairs  needed the lower the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;After all of the data is collected  the home is compared with similar homes in close proximity. This comparison  will include recently sold and on-market homes with a similar &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market  value&lt;/a&gt;. Based on all this data the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt; is calculated. In today&amp;rsquo;s  market, values can change rapidly and it is best to reevaluate your  price regularly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Contact your &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yourwhatcomagent.com&quot;&gt;Realtor&lt;/a&gt; for a market analysis  of your property. This way you can compare the results for yourself.  Quite often you will be given a range as to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bellinghammarketvalue.info&quot;&gt;market value&lt;/a&gt;. Your agent  is the best resource you have available to you when determining a homes  value. Whether you are buying or selling their professional advice and  guidance is critical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Craigs List Rental Scams - Whatcom County Real Estate for Sale</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for sharing this Judy. We can all benefit form this advice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;reblogging_tag&quot;&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/1335179/craigs-list-rental-scams-whatcom-county-real-estate-for-sale&quot;&gt;Judy Schneider (Exit Realty Associates)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Craigslist Rental Scams - Whatcom County Real Estate for Sale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Craigslist Rental Scams&lt;/strong&gt; are not a new thing. This has been going on for a while. It has not been a common thing here in &lt;strong&gt;Whatcom County, WA&lt;/strong&gt;, until now. This past week it has been happening more in &lt;strong&gt;Whatcom County, WA&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homes&lt;/strong&gt; that are listed&lt;strong&gt; for sale&lt;/strong&gt; in&lt;strong&gt; Whatcom County, WA&lt;/strong&gt; have been showing up on &lt;strong&gt;Craigslist&lt;/strong&gt; as &lt;strong&gt;rental&lt;/strong&gt;s. They are copying and pasting the pictures and attaching false contact information!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please, if you are looking for &lt;strong&gt;rental Homes&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Craigslist&lt;/strong&gt;, Be Careful! Do not send any Personal information or money to anyone you can not meet in person! If it sounds to good to be true it is. Many people have sent hundreds of dollars in deposit and rent money. You should never rent any home without seeing it first. Sometimes the &lt;strong&gt;home&lt;/strong&gt; has been rented to several people and it was never for rent in the first place. These people are then angry with no where to go!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You must be very careful. You do not know who you are contacting on &lt;strong&gt;Craigslist&lt;/strong&gt;. You also have no idea if they are, who they say they are. Please, Everyone help to spread the word!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Estate&amp;nbsp;agents&lt;/strong&gt; check &lt;strong&gt;Craigslist&lt;/strong&gt; and flag all listing of yours that get posted and report to the local police&amp;nbsp;depatment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those &lt;strong&gt;renters&lt;/strong&gt; that have been victims can do the same!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Tax Credit Extension - Bellingham Homes For Sale</title>
      <description>Last Friday President Barack Obama signed the &#8220;Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009&#8221; into law, extending the first-time homebuyer tax credit as well as certain jobless benefits at a time when the US unemployment rate has officially reached 10.2%.
&lt;p&gt;
With the first-time homebuyer tax credit originally scheduled to expire on Dec. 1st, 2009, HR 3548 now allows first-time buyers to claim 10% of the purchase price of their home, up to $8,000 for single or married taxpayers filing jointly, if they close on the purchase by midnight June 30th, 2010. Taxpayers must purchase or be locked into a contract to close before midnight on April 30th, 2010.
&lt;p&gt;
There is more good news that accompanies the extension. The credit is allowed for those with incomes up to $125,000 or $225,000 for taxpayers filing jointly. The credit reduces for those with incomes between $125,000 and $145,000 - or $225,000 and $245,000 if filing jointly. Anyone with an income higher than $145,000, $245,000 if filing jointly, cannot not receive credit.
&lt;p&gt;
Taxpayers who have lived in their home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years before closing on a new home may qualify for a reduced credit - $6,500 joint filers and $3,250 for those who file jointly. Other restrictions may apply so consult your tax professional.

      <title>30 Year Fixed Rate Mortgages are still below 5.0% - Bellingham Homes For Sale</title>
      <description>GOOD NEWS - 30 Year Fixed Rate Mortgages are still below 5.0% and today's 2 Year Auction is going extremely well meaning we might see the rates dip a bit lower.
&lt;p&gt;
MORE GOOD NEWS -  Fast Closings for Mortgages - With the rates as low as they are and the 1st time Homebuyer Tax Credit deadline the end of November, the number of mortgage loans  in process is high.  In the field in it common for refinance mortgages to take a minium of 45-60 days to close and I've heard of loans that started 5 months ago that still are in process and not closed!  As for purchase mortgages, they too are experiencing longer processing times.  Especially FHA.

      <title>Investing In Short Sale Property</title>
      <description>The market is flooding with properties that are priced quite down to earth and this is providing the real investors of the US and overseas with some valuable opportunities to earn some real cash. In fact, the earnings you can expect from investing in short sale property can vary anywhere between $25,000 and $200,000 or beyond, the sum being contingent upon your investment, your investment pattern, the location of investment and so on and so forth
&lt;p&gt;
With the greater number of property foreclosure incidents occurring across the whole of United States, more and more people are being forced to short sale their homes in order to avoid foreclosure auction, thereby losing home. Short sale is proving to be highly beneficial to all these homeowners by settling their due mortgage at a much lesser rate than what they actually owe to the bank or the lender organization, that is, less than the loan balance. Moreover, since they are under the threats of facing foreclosure and obviously are short of real money, they can hardly avail the traditional means of selling their homes through realtors or to other prospects. The obvious choice for them remains property, thereby avoid foreclosure short sale and it is to this beginning that the real estate industry in the US is gaining on some real momentum.
&lt;p&gt;
The market is flooding with properties that are priced quite down to earth and this is providing the real investors of the US and overseas with some valuable opportunities to earn some real cash. In fact, the earnings you can expect from investing in short sale property can vary anywhere between $25,000 and $200,000 or beyond, the sum being contingent upon your investment, your investment pattern, the location of investment and so on and so forth. Most of the times, you can expect to get a short sale property at only 60% of the original rate, which you can sell in the open market, after necessary refurbishments, to earn you over 30% of the price value of the property under concern.
&lt;p&gt;
However, how much profit you make is determined by your vision and certain aspects that you need to keep in mind in order to make a deal worthy of investment. Let yourself be open to several options in investment, although keeping in mind what would fetch you more returns and which would not. Deciding on a particular property for investment is of crucial significance as your choice can make or break a deal in no time at all. Always predicate your choice of property on the ability to make profit out of it &#8211; for instance, take into consideration the location of the property and how viable it will be in the open market, when you intend to sell it at a later point in time.
&lt;p&gt;
Assess the property of your concern very well before you opt to buy it. For example, consider the number and extend of repairs and refurbishments you will need to do in a particular property to make it viable to a general buyer. Remember, every dollar you put in for repair or refurbishment is a part of your investment and it will definitely affect the returns you wish from it. However, if you foresee good profit opportunities, investing after a property will not be a bad deal. For this you need a general understanding of the real estate market and its forces. It is advisable to consult a short sale expert agency for their assistance in this domain. From negotiating with a seller to that with the concerned mortgage authority - the short sale experts - they will best help you address every aspect involved in the closing of a successful real estate deal.

To further this initiative the United Nations has declared the first Monday in October &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unhabitat.org/categories.asp?catid=588&quot; title=&quot;World Habitat Day&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;World Habitat Day&lt;/a&gt;. The World Habitat Day website states, &quot;The idea is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.&quot; Habitat for Humanity is a proud &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.habitat.org/gov/suppdocs/world_habitat_day_2009_handbook.pdf&quot; title=&quot;Habitat for Humanity, Proud Supporter of World Habitat Day&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;supporter&lt;/a&gt; of World Habitat Day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Habitat for Humanity's website states, &quot;The theme of this year's observance of World Habitat Day, Planning Our Urban Future, is meant to underscore the urgency of meeting the needs of city dwellers in a rapidly urbanizing world.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With that in mind, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.exitrealty.com/&quot; title=&quot;EXIT Realty Corp. International&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;EXIT Realty Corp. International&lt;/a&gt; announced today the launch of its green initiative, &amp;ldquo;teal is the new &lt;em&gt;green&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rdquo;,&amp;nbsp; which includes training, resources and other tools to assist their agents in marketing themselves as proficient green REALTORS&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The centerpiece to this initiative is a new alliance with EcoBroker&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; International, the world&amp;rsquo;s first and largest green designation program for real estate professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EcoBroker's&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; green designation training and ongoing support will provide EXIT Realty agents with the resources to be constructive green ambassadors in an ever-changing business and consumer world.&amp;nbsp; They will be able to knowledgeably assist clients in their pursuit of properties that provide affordability, comfort and a healthier environment.&amp;nbsp; EXIT-EcoBroker certified professionals will also help sellers effectively market their properties with green features. EcoBroker&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; is the only designation which is taught by experts in both the green industry and the real estate industry.&amp;nbsp; With over 5,400 agents trained world-wide, they are the largest green designation program for real estate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are also the only green certification program that requires our members to take four hours of additional education each year,&amp;rdquo; says John Stovall, VP Business Development for EcoBroker&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; International.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Our annual Advantage Course will keep EXIT-EcoBrokers on top of the latest information in the world of green real estate.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EXIT-EcoBrokers will be equipped with additional energy and environmental information as well as tools to help them provide added value to all of their real estate transactions.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;This training helps our agents address the newest topics in real estate, such as green home certification programs like ENERGY STAR&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;&quot;, &lt;/sup&gt;says Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;It also provides practical solutions to assist them in working through issues that may arise in any real estate transaction, such as mold, radon, or poor indoor air quality to name just a few.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mississauga, ON&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;(Grassroots Newswire)&amp;ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; In spite of&amp;nbsp;the challenges faced by the real estate industry&amp;nbsp;this past year, EXIT Realty Corp. International proudly continues its support for its charity of choice, Habitat for Humanity.&amp;nbsp; At the EXIT Realty International Convention held&amp;nbsp;last week in Washington DC, Christine Ireborg, EXIT's liaison with Habitat announced that pledges to date have exceeded $1.68 million.&amp;nbsp;View our latest video presentation &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.exitrealty.com/habitat_video.aspx&quot; title=&quot;EXIT Realty Corp. International Habitat for Humanity Presentation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;EXIT Realty couldn't be more proud to partner&amp;nbsp;with Habitat for Humanity to help make the dream of homeownership come true for&amp;nbsp;deserving families across the U.S. and Canada,&quot; said Ireborg. &quot;We wanted to identify with an organization that shares our values and philosophies; an organization based on giving back.&quot;&amp;nbsp; A portion of every transaction fee collected by EXIT Realty Corp. International is dedicated to its charitable fund.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EXIT Realty has 11 corporately sponsored builds under its tool belt with the current one in Newark, New Jersey scheduled for dedication later this year.&amp;nbsp; EXIT Realty associates will be swinging hammers once again at upcoming builds in&amp;nbsp;these cities:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;November 2009 &amp;ndash; Austin, Texas&lt;br /&gt;January 2010 &amp;ndash; Florida&lt;br /&gt;Spring 2010 &amp;ndash; Salt Lake City, UT&lt;br /&gt;Spring 2010 &amp;ndash; Columbia, SC&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Seller Opportunities - Bellingham Homes For Sale</title>
      <description>Today's market presented a terrific opening for qualified buyers. Here are three tips to help sellers make the most of today's opportunities:
&lt;p&gt;
    * Make it shine. Buyers are attracted to attractive homes. Make your home stand out by mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, washing windows, and cleaning the carpets. These are small things that will make a big difference.
&lt;p&gt;
    * Remove clutter. Not only do clean homes show better, but tidy homes offer more to the imagination. One person's treasure is another person's trash. Removing unnecessary clutter will help potential buyers envision their own potential or the home.
&lt;p&gt;
    * Pay attention to the market. Work with your agent and price your home to sell. A competitively priced home is the one that sells first, and in this market that counts for a lot. 
&lt;p&gt;
These simple tips can help you sell your home and take advantage of our today's market. Please contact us if you have any questions about selling your home. We are here to help!

Helped by the $8,000 tax credit to first time buyers, existing home sales are on pace to reach 5.1 million units for 2009, up from the 4.93 million units projected in August 2008.

&quot;Home sales retrenched from a very strong improvement in July but continue to be much higher than before the stimulus. The first-time buyer tax credit is having the intended impact of bringing buyers into the market, allowing them to take advantage of very favorable affordability conditions,&#8221; said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist.
&lt;p&gt;
Although existing home sales are up from this time in 2008, the overall numbers are down from just one month ago. &quot;The decline demonstrates we can&#8217;t take a housing rebound for granted,&quot; Yun said. In the previous four months, sales had risen over 15 percent. Low mortgage rates have contributed to the overall market rise. Freddie Mac reported an average national commitment rate of 5.19 percent in August for a 30 year conventional fixed rate mortgage, down considerably from 6.49 percent offered in August 2008.

      <title>Stage Your Home FOr Maximum Exposure - Bellingham Homes For Sale</title>
      <description>Open House Basics
&lt;p&gt;
An open house can be beneficial for both the buyer and the seller. For the buyer, it is an opportunity to view the home casually to determine if it meets their needs and criteria. For sellers, it is an opportunity to reach a larger number of potential buyers in a shorter period of time. The following tips can help you and your real estate agent ensure that the open house is successful. 
&lt;p&gt;
Take time before the open house to make sure the exterior of the home is appealing. Curb appeal, as it is known, sets the stage for the visit. Mow the grass, trim the bushes and sweep the front porch. You should also consider planting colorful flowers or placing potted plants near the homes entrance.
&lt;p&gt;
Inside, the first impression is the last impression, so keeping the house very neat and clean for the open house is extremely important.  It may be a difficult task if you are residing in the house, but taking time to run the vacuum and the dishwasher makes a huge difference.
&lt;p&gt;
How does your home smell? Is the garlic from last night&#8217;s Italian dinner still lingering? Will the bleach you used to clean the bathroom overwhelm the buyer when they enter the room? The fact is, studies have shown that the senses, including smell, can heavily influence one&#8217;s opinion. Use scented candles or a small simmering pot of potpourri with cinnamon to create the effect of &#8220;home.&#8221; Baking cookies is another option. They smell and taste good!
&lt;p&gt;
Continue to set the stage. Hopefully, you took the time to stage your home prior to listing. Whether or not you did, be sure to evaluate how your furniture and furnishings are displayed. You want to appeal to the broadest range of buyers as possible. Ask your real estate agent for advice.
&lt;p&gt;
Give them space. Whether you or your agent are conducting the open house, give buyers the opportunity to view the home without hovering over them. When they first come in, ask them to sign the open house sheet and give them a flyer with the property details and information. Let them know you are available if they have questions and invite them to go through the home. Before they leave, ask if they have any questions and thank them for stopping by. Following up afterwards by phone will help solicit feedback and offers.
&lt;p&gt;
Open houses are one of many tools that you and your real estate agent can use as part of a comprehensive marketing plan. Take the time to prepare for these so that you can maximize the opportunity to showcase your home.

      <title>EXCELLENCE NORTHWEST - Unleash Your Potential. Live Big!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In 1989, a friend invited me to attend the precursor to ReSet for Excellence. I did attend and then completed the series. Since then I have focused on what matters most to me to create the life of my dreams. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;This is Ruth Mt. from Hannegan Pass. I grabbed the shot yesterday as I returned from an overnight hike into the North Cascades. As spectacular as the hike was, being able to get out in this weather and to live the life I desire was even more satisfying and enjoyable. I can't know what your story is and how ReSet helps you create the life you desire, but I do know this: now is the time to tell your story to someone you care about and to invite them to attend the next ReSet.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Why now? The practical answer is to take advantage of our 2 for 1 offer for the October ReSet, but even more to the point is why should your friend, family member or co-worker wait any longer to get more of what they want out of life?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Please invite anyone you want to have the best of life to call today and enroll in our 2 for 1 offer for the October 22-25 course or to accompany you to one of our introductory sessions. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I am so grateful that my friend invited me to check out these courses - please offer someone you love the opportunity to feel the same way about you.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, 9/30: Tailgate Party and Intro at Lairmont Manor.

      <title>Buyers Enjoy Federal Tax Credit - Bellingham Homes For Sale</title>
      <description>Home buyers can claim a special tax credit worth up to $8,000. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act offers qualifying home buyers a tax credit equal to 10 percent of a home's purchase price, up to a maximum of $8,000. The tax credit is offered to first time buyers, and those who have not owned a principle residence in the past three years. To be eligible for the tax credit, buyers must meet general income requirements and close on their purchase before December 1, 2009.

Under new rules introduced recently by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, qualifying buyers can apply the $8,000 tax credit toward the purchase of a home. To facilitate the process, the Federal Housing Administration is permitting its lenders to extend short term bridge loans, which will enable qualifying buyers to apply their tax credit toward closing costs, buying down their interest rate, or increasing their down payment above the FHA required 3.5 percent.

Please contact us today for more details on this once-in-a-lifetime program.

      <description>For the first time in five years, existing home sales have increased for four months in a row, according to an August report by the The National Association of Realtors&#174; (NAR). Existing home sales - including single-family, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops - increased 7.2 percent in July, which is the largest monthly sales gain recorded since 1999.

Home Inspector (King of the House Home Inspection, Inc)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Times New Roman';&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #004466;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Ms-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;

As home inspectors, we check to see if there are an adequate number of smoke detectors in a home. They should be in the usual locations -- in every bedroom and in any hallways that adjoin bedrooms. And, if there are wood stoves, fireplaces, gas or oil burning appliances, then there should also be a carbon monoxide detector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While most inspectors look for proper placement of smoke detectors, the standards do not call for testing them. Sometimes you wonder how many times you see these devices and they flat do not work. They might be there, but be no good. Of course, you tell the client to test them to make sure they function after moving in. Then there are other times when you take a look and you know, right off the bat, that this unit is marginal. Who needs the test button?&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Foreigner brings back memories. Sad to say, they look a bit more &quot;silver&quot; than I remember.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today is the final day for the annual &lt;strong&gt;Fair&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Northwest Washington&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Lynden&lt;/strong&gt;. What a year it has been. My family and I went to the Fair on Thursday this year! We purchased tickets to see the &lt;strong&gt;Foreigner&lt;/strong&gt; concert. So that was the day we chose to go. Let me tell you that Foreigner was more than a fabulous show! They brought back memories of many years! Wow! The crowd was on their feet the entire time! This was only a small town concert, but it definitely had a big concert feel! What a Show! Thank You &lt;strong&gt;Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Foreigner&lt;/strong&gt; for the wonderful memories! &lt;strong&gt;Foreigner&lt;/strong&gt;'s new CD is going to be available in Mid September. It is on pre sale at Wal Mart, right now!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Hot Shot Tap Dancers performed at the &lt;strong&gt;Northwest Washington Fair&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Lynden, Whatcom County, Washington&lt;/strong&gt;! These Three young Brothers from Oregon,&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;wonderfully entertaining, and extremely talented! Carl, Lloyd, and Kyle have been performing together&amp;nbsp;since they were very young. Their stage presence was professional and fun! They showed such personality and and energy in their performance, it was evident they truly love the world of dance and entertaining! This is my personal attempt to Thank Them for sharing their wonderful talent with my family on Thursday!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know these young men will go far!&lt;/p&gt;
