Or, maybe your brood has left the nest and you want a cozy place to relax and entertain friends which has low overhead, easy maintenance and which would make a great home base for you as you travel around the country or world. Then come see if this is the home for you.

WOW Factor -- Modern Extermination Company

I have to tell you how Modern Exterminating produced a WOW for my client and me. My client was closing on a home on a Thursday afternoon at 3:00 pm and the mortgage company which we had not used before required a termite certification at the last minute 9:00 am notification on the day of closing. My client had not had an inspection done. Once again , we were scheduled to close on the property at 3:00 this same day. Long story short, Modern was able to come out to the property, do the inspection, quote for the treatment AND on my clients say so and payment, do the treatment for active termites by 3:00 that day!!!!!! WOW. Their website is linked above.

Green Question

I am currently working on becoming GREEN certified as a Real estate agent. I am not sure where this will take me, but the more I study the better I feel about the type of information I am learning. It will enable me to help my clients find the information and the resources to let them create a greener lifestyle. I am learning about many websites which exist on the web such as the site Greenandsave.com or the reuse people .

The courses presents you with ideas about size of houses, site location considerations and about incorporating new ideas using new/ and old construction methods both for new construction and in retrofitting and remodeling. Shrinking your carbon foot print by using CFL (compact Florescent lights) and LED lighting and/or reducing you water consumption by using Dual Flush toilets and other methods are easy to implement. There is so much to talk about and it is really exciting. I will get you more information as I learn more.

Filter cleaning question

I was reading a column I recieve on a regular basis. In it the author was encouraging the home owners to change their heating filters one or twice a year. Once if your system is for heating and cooling only, twice at the beginning of each season change if your system is both cooling and heating. My thought on this was always check on the filter once a month, and if it is dirty, change it. The heat/cooling filter (according to the home inspectors I listen to when I tour home with my buyer clients) acts to keep the heating/cooling equipment clean and running efficiently. It is not an air filtration system for the house hold air.

A second cool thing I just found to help my listing clients is a web site called postlets. It helps syndicate the listing to many real estate based web sites like Zillow and Trulia as well as giving me other tools for marketing the property. Click her to view a sample
