I have been in Real Estate now for about a year. Recently I have been prospecting quite aggresively. I have been farming sending out property update reports every 60 days, passing out business cards. I wear my name tag and if I don't have my name tag I wear my company T-shirt. I have been getting a pretty good response, especially from my update reports, seems no one is farming this area. But what I also have been noticing is the fact that my Husband has also been prospecting for me. He hands out my cards to anyone he runs into. He works at a hospital, so he talks to everyone there. I have now got two listings from the hospital. How cool is that. I guess I didn't realize he was prospecting for me. Makes me appericate him even more. It also comes to find out that his parents are also pro... 08/10/2007

On my previous post I  gave a list of what needed to be done prior to a storm. On that list was - Assess your home for weak areas-Here is a list to Safeguard your Home.1. Assess the Roof-  Check the roof- Hire a license professional for this. It can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Shingles, tiles and panels should be fastened down tightly. Making no room for wind to pull them off the roof.2. Trim your Trees-  Trim trees regularly and remove weak branches. Do not trim them when a storm warning is issued. They will be projectile items.3. Check all doors-  Solid wood doors and hollow metal doors are more resist to wind and flying debris. Make sure they are secure and that the hinges are tighten.4. Shutter your windows- If you already have shutters installed now is t... 08/05/2007

We are now in the peak season of hurricanes. Are you prepared? Do you have a plan? There should be a list of items that you have taken cared of before a storm should strike. Here is a list.          Develop a Hurricane Plan1. Hold a family meeting- Everyone in the home should know what needs to be done in case a storm should hit. Each person should have a check list so its not all on one person- Things get forgotten that way.2. Discuss whether or not you will need to evacuate- If you live in a evacuation zone know where to local shelter will be. If you own pets there are certain shelters for them where you can take them with you. You need to register in advance for those. They fill up quickly.3. Ensure you assests are protected- Take pictures of your home inside and out. If you have exp... 08/04/2007

I know my heart skipped a beat.DADDY'S EMPTY CHAIR A man's daughter had asked the local minister To come and pray with her father.  When the minister arrived, He found the man lying in bed with his head Propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside his bed.  The minister assumed that the old fellow Had been informed of his visit.  'I guess you were expecting me, he said. 'No, who are you?' said the father. The minister told him his name and then remarked, 'I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up.' 'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden man.  'Would you mind closing the door?' Puzzled, the m... 08/02/2007

I know a lot of you like me have been paying extreme homeowner's insurance premiums. But did you know if you had an windstorm inspection company come out and inspect your home for the average price of $150. They will be able to reduce your premiums. I know from experience. I recently had my home inspected, I sent my form over to my insurance agent and writing with a new insurance company, my premiums were cut more than have, and on top of that I am entitled to a refund for the difference I paid this year. If this is of any interest let me know. I can send you the name of the company that did my inspection and I can refer an insurance agent as well.Jeannette Neerpatwww.Neerpat.com Jeannette@Neerpat.com 07/28/2007
