Get Rid of Some Vendor Offers and Possibly Raise your Credit Score a Few Points

Optoutprescreen.com

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies are permitted to include your name on lists used by creditors or insurers to make firm offers of credit or insurance that are not initiated by you ("Firm Offers"). The FCRA also provides you the right to "Opt-Out", which prevents Consumer Credit Reporting Companies from providing your credit file information for Firm Offers. Through this website, you may request to: Opt-Out from receiving Firm Offers for Five Years - (electronically through this website). Opt-Out from receiving Firm Offers permanently - (mail Permanent Opt-Out Election form available through this website). Opt-In and be eligible to receive Firm Offers. This option is for consumers who have previously completed an Opt-Out request - (electronically through this website). If you choose to Opt-Out, you will no longer be included in firm offer lists provided by these four consumer credit reporting companies.      If you are not receiving firm offers because you have previously completed a request to Opt-Out, you can request to Opt-In. In doing so, you will soon be among the many consumers who can significantly benefit from having ready access to product information on credit and insurance products that may not be available to the general public.

Thank you Christensens!

Getting From 'For Sale' to 'Sold'

For Sale to Sold

Getting From 'For Sale' To 'Sold'In today's changing real estate market, many things happen quickly. Here are some key facts to keep in mind to ensure your home sale goes smoothly. Prepare When your home is up for sale, it not only needs to look good it must also be functioning in top form. KEY: Make any needed repairs before listing your home or hire a local handyman if the to-do list is too long or too hard for you to tackle. Staging You've probably heard the term "staging" -- making a home look picture-perfect and ready to move into. KEY: Don't forget to make every space in your home look welcoming, including outdoor living areas. Visit new model-home sites for ideas or search homes magazine images for inspiration if you choose not to hire a professional home stager. Appraisal In a rising market, sometimes the appraisal can be the roadblock to a closed sale. Appraisers might use comparable property sales that are out of date (more than a few months old) and will not support the current contracted sales price. KEY: Ask your real estate professional to oversee the process and provide the appraiser with information that supports your contract price, such as the features and prices of recent listings, homes under contract and closed sales.

DE-CLUTTER Prepping For The Big MoveHeading for a new home? Packing and moving your belongings can be an overwhelming task -- especially if you haven't successfully de-cluttered. As you prepare for a move, examine each drawer, closet, shelf, box, nook and cranny, then clear it out into four piles: keep, toss, sell, give away. Keep: Organize items you'll keep before you put them in a moving box. File papers, sort clothes by season or style, put like items together, group objects by room or use -- and then pack. Unpacking will be simpler and faster if you organize ahead of the move. Toss: Throwing items away may be the easiest; just put them in the garbage or recycling bin. Consider first, however, whether someone else might find those items useful or valuable. Sell: If you have the time and motivation, you could hold a yard sale to make some money on the things you no longer want or need. Or, you could take them to a local consignment store or list them for sale in your local paper or online at craigslist, eBay, etc. Give away: For items you can't sell or don't want to hassle with, determine whether they can be donated to a local organization, picked up by a worthy charity or, if time permits, offered free on craigslist or other websites. TIP: We all know that the closer we get to moving day, the more items move into the toss pile simply because of time constraints. Start early with de-cluttering to keep useful items out of the landfill.

GNL Heating and Cooling is awesome!

GNL Heating and Cooling 

Garry Lopshire of GNL has helped me with my personal, business and rental properties for years.  He and his "people"do an excellent job.

During a recent checkup on a rental property, he discovered that the compressor (the thing with a fan outside) was icing up.  He simply helped the tenant  understand  the importance of keeping the filter changed and the air flowing.

Thank you Garry for always being there for help.  - JD
