Katy TX, Where Money Grows on Trees

By
Real Estate Agent with Liz Carter & Team Realty-Your Real Estate Resource For Life!

Lost Riches Could Be Yours!

I'll share my secret with my Active Rain friends, like I did with all my past clients. I received  checks for money tree$1,130..., that's One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty dollars, YIPPEE!  This is money I didn't even know I had, which is even cooler.  Since my lost riches came in the form of a check...and paper is made from trees...Yes, Money does grow on trees in Katy Texas, but you have to know where to look?  OK, are you ready?  Just go to www.window.state.TX.us/up/ and then do a search by typing in your name and city.

Bill my husband was playing around and came across this site on the Internet, which is a government site on unclaimed money that is just sitting there.  He types in every name he has ever used, and every city he has ever lived in and NOTHING!  Bummer, so then he decides to check mine and walla there were three different places that had MY MONEY!  The oldest one went back to 2004.  Whats string to believe is the government site is a piece of cake to navigate!  Go figure, but it really is, it even pulls up a preprinted form and all you have to do is type in your name and contact information, download, print and mail it.  You can change the name or city with two click of your mouse. It was only about a week that my three checks came in the mail. Our government created something simple to use...amazing.

Then I had a brainstorm...what a great way to have another contact with my past clients and SOI!  Everybody likes FREE MONEY, talk about remembering me when they need to buy, sell a home or have a referral for me.  So I went into my trusty Database...remember the challenge in Active Rains recent contest ?  Everyone did get a Database going, or revamp the one you had, right?  Just in case your still working on it, here is my entry on how to set up and maintain a wide eyed lady with moneyDatabase, active rain's contest makeover2takeover, is a database an important part of Real Estate?  and the link to the complete entry is, http://www.hismove.com/week_1.doc.  I sent our an e-mail to my 3,000 person Database to let them know about it.  So far I've not heard back from anyone that found a ton of money, but even if they don't, it was something of value that they will remember me for.

In my e-mail to my past clients and SOI I told them were to go, and exactly what to do, how simple it was, and listed the three places I received money from.  I received $789.00 for a refund due from an insurance co. on one of my rent houses going back to 2006.  Another $335.92 was from Reliant Energy, a refund of overpayment on a bill for my company, also in 2006.  The last one was a utility deposit from way back in 2004.  It was the smallest amount, only $5.19.  I'll take it So my grand total again was $1,130, with a couple of clicks of my mouse.  Sure bets the odds in Vegas.

So my friends go to www.window.state.TX.us/up/ and put in every name you have ever used and every gold coinscityyou have ever lived in and see how much LOST RICHES are just sitting there waiting for you to claim.  Don't forget where you got the tip, and please come back and let me know how much you found.  My finders fee is 25%, or at least an ice cream cone.  Hopefully I will be hearing from lots of past clients in Katy, TX and from my Active Rain friends too.  Good luck!

When you have a buyer or seller referral for Katy or Houston Texas, I would appreciate your referrals.  Liz Carter & Team Realty, 281-391-SOLD (7653) or www.lizcarter.com

WOW, words escape me!!!!!  I have missed all of you soooo much, and I so appricate all the kind words, pretty flowers, encouragement, and your friendships.  This is what makes active rain different...we really care about each other.  Dale, my gosh have you had time to do any thing else happy face, you are just the best.

Marchel was so thoughtful to let everyone know, but especially to have directed everyone here so I could have all  these beautiful things to come "home" to.  Thanks Marchel

I for one am very glad that 2008 is OVER!  2009 has to be better for me or I'm in troublecat  It will be and I am starting to get back on my feet after this last 29 days, 2 operations...it kicked my butt!  Especially coming on the heels of my other two major problems.  I read that for every day you are in the hospital it takes the body 7 days to recover...I believe it.  On the positive side, I'll have lots of time for blogging and visiting all my friends here.

I love you guys, there is a saying that good friends are like angels on earth.  I sure have a lot of angels here on AR!
