Killing me softly… antibacterial soaps and your septic system Wenatchee Home InspectionsIt is the flu season and we should be washing our hands regularly. This is good hygiene but there may be some consequences you may want to consider or at least think about if you are on a septic system.                                                          The overuse of antibacterial soaps along with other habits maybe destroying the ability of the septic system to properly function.To achieve proper treatment your septic system is very dependent on millions of naturally occurring bacteria. Bacteria are the machinery that is responsible for breaking down wastes we put into the system. We add many of these good bacteria through the wastes and materials typically found in wastewater. Anaerobic bact...

During the phone call I was thinking this is why to get a battery back up for your sump pump. A client called with an issue they wanted me to investigate and suggest a remedy.  My remedy was a back-up battery! It works simply - the sump pump is plugged into a battery which is plugged into the wall.  Theoretically it is always charged.  My understanding is that it will give up to 72 hours of protection. When I see a battery back up during a home inspection, inevitably the client will ask why they have it.  My answer is, "Life experience." When I arrived drywall and insulation had been removed throughout the basement by a restoration contractor.  I noticed between 2" and 3" of staining on all the walls in the basement. Wednesday night we had a serious rainstorm with very high winds.  We r...

Dear homeowner, when you decide to finish your basement or any unfinished space in your home, get a permit.  It will save you aggravation in the future, and it will make sure that the work is done in a professional and safe manner. When I do an MLS search and see that a house is listed as a 4 bedroom / 3 bath house, that's what I expect to see when I get there.  When I look at the tax record and it says 3 bedrooms / 2 baths, a red flag goes up.  Also, when it says the property has an unfinished basement, but I arrive and it has a finished basement, I get suspicious that the renovation was done without including the local inspection departments. There are a lot reasons to have your renovations inspected:  Safety Make sure the changes are up to code.  This is critical in all areas of cons...

Put a Leash on that Overgrown Kid! Have you ever seen those little kids at the mall where their parent is walking behind them with a leash? It's not a collar of course, they have a much more humane body harness, but they're still in a leash. If you do this to your kids, please stop. Stop immediately! This is not a good idea. Your kid is going to develop some kind of complex, some kind of issue that will be deep seated in their physique and scar them for life. (Look, I don't know why people actually use those things, so if there is a legitimate reason like 'my kid has ADHD and without a leash he could dart out into traffic' then fine, I get it and I'm sorry you were offended, but I'll apologize in advance so you don't feel the need to put me inline online) I almost expected when Kris an...

Buying or Selling a Home QUIZ Me If you are looking to buy or sell a home, you want the best agent you can find.     I have been selling real estate locally for the past 25 years and along with my partner Al Mussi, we have helped hundreds of families to make their move.    We pride ourselves on being on top of market conditions, staying abreast of real estate trends and are committed to continually learning our trade.     We have aligned ourselves with what we think is the best name in the business, Remax.    But you don't want to take my word on that, so  QUIZ ME!   Me, or anyone else you are thinking of hiring!   There are a number of things you can ask an agent.    Google it.   You will find all kinds of sites with many different questions.   That's okay.   Some seem ridiculous so te...

Google Street Views goes off road! The last few months google has taken their street views off the road. All the way to base of the Grand Canyon. Google created a special camera with 15 lenses, 360 panorama view, 2 GPS units, and8hour battery life into a backpack that weighs 40 pounds. The release has been received with mixed emotions. Professional hikes and Park Rangers are concerned some people will get a false sense of security and will not take the proper precautions when hiking the Canyon. On the other side are those who love the fact they can see the Canyon who normally wouldn't be able too. Think about the disabled, people with health issues or people who cant afford to travel. This may be the closest they will ever get to the Grand Canyon and why not spend a little bit of time v...

  It has been twenty years since Bill Murray played a weather man who continually woke up to Ground Hog day every morning.  First he uses this to his advantage, but then he comes the realization that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place and doing the same things.  Is a similar act playing in your business?  If people do not see the need for change they won’t do it.  They don’t see the need because they are not looking. Here are four reasons why people resist change. ·       The first is FEAR. Fear is internal-- it’s in our head.  It could be fear of failure or fear of a disruption of the status quo.  But although fear is not real it is a crippler of potential.   There’s also an acronym that uses the letters F, E, A, and R that defines what fear is. The acronym st...

 The SHARK Says Home Staging is a Necessity! Real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran is mostly known as one of the four investors aka Sharks on ABC’s hit show Shark Tank. She began her career in Real Estate in the mid 70’s with a thousand dollar loan and opened The Corcoran Croup. She went on to parlay that loan into a 5 billion dollar real estate business and in 2001 sold her share for sixty-six million dollars. Barbara Corcoran is the real estate contributor on NBC’s The TODAY SHOW, imparting her wisdom on market trends and selling homes. On Staging she says:  “Staging a house for sale used to be an option, but today it’s a necessity. Every buyer will judge your house within 8 seconds of walking through the door.”   On Purchasing a home now Barbara Corcoran says: "Buy NOW! There is so much...

Californians have been jumping ship to Texas for years. It's rumored that we're going to see an influx of more Californians because new tax measures that were passed in November 2012 called Proposition 30. This Proposition 30 is going to effect a lot of people, but according to out-dated data from 2009, "they" think it will only really effect the top 3% of California taxpayers. Here's information about California's Prop 30, but I wanted to comment on a couple of things for those CA people wanting to move to Texas, as things aren't always greener on the other side without running your numbers properly. It's always about the numbers... There is an uproar with CA raising their sales tax from 7.25% to 7.5%. Local taxing jurisdictions can also impose a tax on top, but going through a CA webs...

The Real Estate Market Recovery of 2013 The empirical evidence we have seen here on ActiveRain in our respective markets indicates that sales are increasing irrespective of the lower inventory and that many listings are enjoying multiple counter offers not unlike the frenetic activity we observed a good six or seven years ago.  I think most would agree that at least these are the reports that we are getting from markets around the country. Heck, we can even read it in the local newspapers and that alone must make it true. ☺ So, if this true, why are we hearing from economists that this is most likely a temporary condition because most things in the economy have not righted themselves. Actually unemployment numbers have been badly skewed and the real truth is that unemployment has not bo...

Each and every week, there are things going on that impact the short sale business. Sometimes there are big changes to federal and state policies that impact short sale processing and the distressed property world. Other weeks, there is news about government programs for distressed borrowers. Read below to learn about some of the interesting stuff that went on this week in the distressed property arena: Freddie Mac Aims for 75% Reduction in Short Sales Timelines It’s a lofty goal, and I’m not confident that they will achieve it but you may want to read about Freddie Mac’s plans for 2013. I’m aiming for 5 million dollars in earnings, but that might not be so easy to achieve either. 11 States with Highest Foreclosure Rates Spoiler alert: California is on the list.

While one New York city icon Grand Central Terminal celebrates it's 100th birthday today, another New York City icon, former three term NYC mayor Ed Koch died this morning at age 88. We'll be paying our respects to Mayor Ed Koch for a long time. He really heped make NYC what it is today: The greatest City in the World! Ed Koch helped lift the city out of its darkest days and set it on course for an incredible comeback. Koch is most closely associated with saving New York City from financial ruin, but he was also a powerful force in the real estate industry.   In 1989, he left office having created 3,000 apartments out of 10,000 abandoned or city-seized buildings, leaving another 33,000 units in the pipeline. Over the next 15 years, a total of 200,000 apartments inside these properties ...

I have been getting several questions about the FHA Condominium Approval Guideline Changes that went into affect on September 13, 2012.  From the questions that I have received it is clear that there is confusion, and misinformation about the New FHA Condominium Certification Guideline Changes. There are several changes that were made to the Condominium Guidelines in September, all of the changes I would consider relatively minor except for one.  That one change has had a major impact on not only New Condominium Projects, and Existing Condominium Complexes in obtaining FHA Condominium Certification, but also on Buyers being able to get an FHA Mortgage on an existing FHA Certified Condominium. In this blog I will not cover all of the New FHA Condominium Certification Guideline Changes, i...

  Sign Of The Times   I had to meet a client and pick up a key the other day.  We live in different towns so meet a gas station that was convenient for both of us.  I was there first (as I always am) and stretched my legs.   I noticed something I’m sure I have seen a thousand times before, but never really thought about it.  Alongside the parking lot were two empty shells that used to contain pay phones.    For you youngsters out there who may not know what I am talking about, a pay phone was how we all used to make call when we were away from our offices.  Pay phones were everywhere.  All one needed was a dime (later a quarter) and make your call.  If it was long distance, you could use a calling card.     This of course was before every human being on earth carried his or her own cell...

Low new home construction, low mortgage interest rates, low inventory and high demand all add up to a tight squeeze in the Portland Oregon housing market. The national real estate market shows a month to month dip in pending sales but not because people "don’t want to buy homes" but because there just isn’t much inventory out there. Demand is high but the selection is low so it’s taking home seekers longer to find the home they want. When buyers find the right property, they need to be ready to jump and make an offer.   Click link for the full article:   http://www.inman.com/news/2013/01/28/tight-inventories-weigh-prospects-2013-growth Please visit my sites at: https://www.facebook.com/JenWoodburySellsHomes/ http://jenwoodburysellshomes.info/ http://jenwoodburysellshomes.com/ Call an e...

The Ravens have more than one “Reason to Win”I believe our Ravens will win Super Bowl XLVII. Not because they are my home team, not because I and so many others adore them.  Not because its Ray Lewis’ last ride although it will be a great ending to an already amazing NFL career.  Not because Art Modell’s spirit remains with this his extraordinary team. I believe the Ravens will win because they can! Matthew Jeffers, a senior at Towson University wrote a beautiful, moving letter to the Ravens, his favorite NFL team entitled “A Reason To Win”.  It actually made it to through all the channels and the Ravens saw the letter and were inspired. This powerful message should be seen by everyone. Remember, “The Only Disability in Life is a Bad Attitude.”I believe our Ravens will win! I’m not a po...

A new month of February for all of us!!!                         February The Month Of Love Instead of lamenting good riddance to the month of January or that the first quarter is progressing so fast for your business, think of the SHORT 28 day month not just for Super Bowls and the Oscars with the movies, but focus on love. My grandmother had Valentine's Day as her birthday and her whole life was about smiles and love so I relate strongly to Feb. 14th. Love is a magical and mysterious thing in all our lives, at all levels of people from friends, close significant others, parents, children, pets. With our most special ones along the way being in love, it is like no other feeling and the pain of out of love or breaking up is like no other pain.  Let us focus on that good feeling of that ...

  If you painted life, would it be mostly grey? With rare flames of scarlet for each special day And odd strands of silver where you kept your illusions Mixed in with the blues showing loss and confusion   If you painted your life, would there be storms? For the times you lost courage and agreed to conform Perhaps you'd paint stars, one for each dream That gave life a meaning, or so it once seemed.   Has anyone else painted clouds in your sky? And dulled your bright colours as your chances passed by? Maybe it is time to take back the brush Start painting your own life, enough is enough.   You can paint rainbows, banishing grey And splash on some gold, starting today Puddles of silver: shimmering: bright Walk out of the shadows, come into the light.   Perhaps you need mellow, golden nut ...

(Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker)
I have been reading quite a few blogs lately in which real estate agents are talking about the uncivility that sometimes exists among others in our profession. Fortunately, I don't run into that problem very often. Most real estate agents, especially Sacramento real estate agents, are polite, professional and a joy to work with. It's part of what makes working in this profession so delightful. But every so often we encounter that individidual who breaks all the rules, and not in a nice way. You might wonder how they stay in business. If they were truthful with themselves, they might wonder the same thing. It's not important that these kinds of people exist. It's not important that they might even be a competitor to a real estate agent. What matters is how a person responds and how a per...
