Corrosion of metal parts and pieces is generally bad...unless your nick-name is "Rusty".  When these metal pieces are components of an electrical system...It's time to get "Hot After It"! In the magical world of electrical systems...corrosion equals resistance, and resistance equals heat generation by arcing and sparking.  Corrosion can occur at electrical terminals, such as found in main service panels at the breaker lugs, or at receptacle (outlet) locations where the wiring is connected the fixture.  Corrosion can result from the improper tightening of the lugs or screws fastening the conductive wire system to the fixture or breaker.  If the lug is not tightening properly, then the arcing and sparking of the current across the gap (no matter how small) will generate heat and cause the... 01/18/2012

Streamline Your Workspace As the saying goes, "A cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind." How can prospects or clients have any faith in your ability to work on their behalf, if they see a desk overflowing with paper? Or, in this computer age, if they visit your office and watch you spend valuable time sifting through emails and folders, trying to locate pertinent information regarding their account?To the client, a lack of organization projects a negative image. It symbolically waves a distress flag, which could cause them to run in the opposite direction. Take some basic steps to alter the appearance of an overcrowded, unorganized work environment and help fend off clutter.If you have an assistant, delegate some of your responsibilities to free up some of your time. Remember, ... 04/04/2011

Drip-Marketing Campaigns for FSBOs Be There When They Seek a Professional's Help   Do-it-yourselfers will always be a part of our society. But for many people, there comes a time when the frustration of doing it on their own far outweighs the cost of calling in a professional. When an individual who is trying to sell their own home arrives at this conclusion, you want to be the first person they call.This can be achieved by initiating a "drip campaign." To do this, you must have a series of letters, flyers, or handouts that you send consistently to your FSBO targets. Successful drip campaigns are clearly systemized, so the process is easy to follow. There's no guesswork involved, and this can be easily delegated to one of your team members once the system has been set up. Here are a few... 02/28/2011

ON-Time Take Time Out For Planning Have you ever had days, weeks, or even months go by when you were frustrated in your work activities because you failed to implement the things that you know you need to do in order to be more successful? Perhaps you've taken pages and pages of great notes at seminars on the subject of how to improve your business, only to return to the office the next day and implement none of it. The reason this happens to people is because they lack a plan. More importantly, it happens because they are not practicing ON-Time.ON-Time is a time you set aside to work on your business instead of in your business. The simple fact is that in our daily routine, we are typically in a reactive state. The phones are ringing, the emails are coming in, there are voice mails to ... 02/22/2011

Every home buyer knows that their credit score is important. But does anyone really know what factors determine your credit score? A person's credit score is composed of five factors. Points are awarded for each factor and obviously the higher the credit score the better. 1. Payment History- 35% Impact Paying debt in full and on time has the greatest positive impact on your credit score. Late payments, charge-offs and judgements all have a negative impact. Deliquencies that have occured in the last two years carry more weight than older items. 2. Outstanding Credit Card Balances- 30% Impact This factor marks the ratio between the outstanding balance and available credit. Ideally, the consumer should make an effort to keep the balance as close to zero as possible and definitely below 30%... 02/14/2011

When you fill out a credit application during the loan process, we run a credit report for the underwriter. Each lender and loan program has different guidelines they must follow. You should not do anything that would have an adverse effect on your credit score while your loan is in process. We know it's tempting. If you're moving into a new home, you might think about buying new furniture or new appliances, but it really isn't the right time to go shopping with your credit cards. You'll want to remain in a stable position until the loan closes and give us the opportunity to help you lock in the best interest rate we can possibly get for you. Here is a list of some helpful credit do's and don'ts to keep in mind once your loan has gone into processing:   *DON'T apply for new credit of an... 02/10/2011

Housing Industry Home loans began to stabilize during 2010, and home sales showed some signs of encouragement. We expect more of the same in 2011, although there will be some additional headwinds. After a modestly good start to the new year, home prices could actually decline slightly in some areas depending particularly on the health of the local job market. Another headwind that could weigh on home prices is the overhang of several million distressed properties The moratorium on foreclosures has ended and all of the major lenders have resumed foreclosure procedures. At the end of last year, three million homes were in foreclosure activity, with over one million repossessions. Overall, we expect to see accelerated rates of foreclosures in the first quarter until things settle to normal... 02/08/2011

"What is your rate?" This seems to be the first question out of the mouths of potential home buyers. Shopping for the best interest rate possible has always been the consumer's primary objective when borrowing money. The challenge with this strategy is that there is much misleading information released on the subject by various media. Internet websites and email marketing, along with other media such as radio, television, and billboard advertising, have brought the importance of interest rates to the forfront of consumers' minds. The problem for the consumer with this type of marketing is that it is designed to make the lender's phone ring. Often the advertiser offers a ridiculously low interest rate, with the intent of using the "bait-and-switch" technique once the client is reeled in.... 02/07/2011

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for our last installment of tips to sell your home faster! Tip #21: Have a Garage Sale Finally have that garage sale you've been talking about for months. This is one of the quickest, easiest and most cost-effective ways to clear out those items that make your living space look cluttered. Tip #22: Clean the Pool If you have a pool, it should look like you're ready to throw a pool party, even if it's the dead of winter. You want to be sure to remind the buyer of how much fun a pool really is. This means a clean, uncovered pool with all of the furniture out and looking its best. Tip #23: Tame Wild Jungles An empty yard sells better than an overgrown year, probably because an empty yard looks larger. When trimming back your shrubbery and tre... 01/31/2011

We blogged yesterday tips #1-#10 for selling your home faster. Today, we are going to go over tips #11-#20. Some of these many seem really simple or repetitive, but we promise they work. Tip #11: Buy Some New Furnishings Now is the time to replace old, worn-out items with something new. Use your best judgement as to which items will make your current home look better to prospective buyers. Sometimes less is more. So try to avoid flashy colors or patterns. Sometimes simply removing bulky furniture and other items can really open up a room. Tip #12: Head To The Nursery Get rid of all those half-dead plants, both in your yard and in your home. They make a mess by dropping leaves and just look unsightly. A quick solution is a trip to the nursery for a few fresh new plants. Tip #13: Buy Pot... 01/28/2011

Here are some tips on how to do just that and make your home sell FAST! Tip #1: Make a Checklist Make a checklist to review any time a Realtor is bringing someone in to look at you home.

Establish Strong Credit Buying a home can help people with less than perfect... 01/25/2011
