real estate: A Formal Introduction Compared to "Here Take a Look" - 02/20/12 02:55 AM
Online photography is booming in real estate, but are we fully taking advantage of it? Yes we can put good looking photos up and we can put a lot up as well. But I believe that there is more we can do with these photos to really get the potential buyer interested in the home.

I saw someone's blog post a couple weeks ago about the 10 most overused words or the top 10 words that shouldn't be used and often realtors use them. I found an article yesterday about the 5 listing descriptions that basically won't intice buyers to look at your listing. How often do you use them?

real estate: Be Cautious with Home Insurance Claims - 06/18/09 07:13 AM
When obtaining a home loan, most lenders require homeowners to purchase and maintain homeowner's insurance for the term of the loan. However, some homeowners are being denied insurance or faced with steep increases in premiums, because the home has had a history of claims or the homeowner has filed excessive claims in the past. Many homeowners are unaware that filing a claim on their homeowner's insurance policy can hurt their chances of getting coverage or make it difficult to sell their home.
The insurance industry has reported a loss of billions of dollars in home insurance claims, a large number of … (0 comments)

real estate: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! - 05/26/09 05:11 AM
Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources.
In addition, it generates a host of environmental, financial, and social benefits. Materials like glass, metal, plastics, and paper are collected, separated and sent to facilities that can process them into new materials or products. Make recycling part of your everyday routine and help save our valuable resources for future generations too.
Recycling Tips for Every Day
1. buy plain white paper, tissues and paper towels. Dyed paper pollutes.
2. instead of ammonia-based cleaners use vinegar and water or baking soda and water
3. walk or ride a bike instead … (0 comments)

real estate: 9 Ways to Build Credit from Scratch - 02/20/09 07:41 AM
It's much easier to start with good habits than to repair black marks later on
Establishing a good credit history has never been as important as it is today.  It's not just that you'll need good credit to get decent rates when you're ready to buy a home or car. Your credit history can determine whether you get a good job, a decent apartment, a deal on your cell phones and reasonable rates on insurance. One seemingly minor misstep - a late payment, maxing out your credit cards - can haunt you for years.
1. Check your credit report - you'll … (0 comments)

November & December are the two biggest months for junk mail. According to the Privacy Council, the average person spends eight months of his or her life opening and discarding junk mail.  What's more, an average family will throw away the equivalent of an entire tree from unread junk mail - and junk mail kills 100 million trees annually.
