- 02/07/09 01:12 PM
Recently my friend and fellow Active Rain blogger - Lorrie Semler of Addison Texas - mentioned that her Mom, former Passaic NJ Mayor - Margie Semler, enjoyed writing opinion pieces on North Jersey life and politics. Seeing a natural tie in for my We Love North Jersey group here on Active Rain, I asked Lorrie if she might be able to convince her Mom to write some pertinent posts here on our blog pages. Well, apparently Margie is not a real big computer person, so she's allowed me the honor of posting her words here on my blog. So without further delay.....ladies and gentleman, … (4 comments)

Fortunately Holly's music didn't die that day...in fact his music had a great influence on many musical artists who followed. Here's a video of Holly and his group … (11 comments)

north jersey homes: Professional Photographs DO make a difference
- 01/19/09 04:03 AM
The Northern New Jersey Real estate market is very different these days - inventory is at an all time high and therefore buyers can afford to be really choosy. To say that buyers are in the drivers seat is an understatement. With that in mind, sellers and sellers agents need to use every tool at their disposal to market - of course yard signs, Multiple Listing Service, Brochures, Internet exposure, staging, and.... Professional Photographs. It's on that last point that I'd like to promote the photographer who I use for my listings. The difference between his photos and the ones … (6 comments)

north jersey homes: Do I really need to do a Radon Test?
- 12/29/08 02:02 PM
Radon Gas is a subject that comes up with almost every Real Estate transaction in North Jersey. Many consumers are clueless however about what radon gas is, where it comes from, how it can affect you, and what it means to your Real Estate transaction.
Radon gas occurs naturally in the earth and can move through soil and rock entering buildings through cracks and openings. Once radon is inside a building, it will tend to remain indoors because most structures are designed to keep heated or cooled air from escaping. Also, lower air pressure inside buildings can create a vacuum, … (24 comments)
