To all Real Estate Agents out there ~ PLEASE, PLEASE, do your due diligence and have an out. Sometimes we forget the risks we take when showing a home to a "New Client" or holding an "Open House" *** May God Help her family through their loss ***

THIS IS MY GOAL !

**** 6 Things Homebuyers Should Avoid Once They are Pre-Approved for a Mortgage**** You have done the hard part in the home-buying process and chosen a lender and a real estate agent to work with. You have also gone out and found the home of your dreams! Best of all, your team has done a great job of negotiating the best deal for you. Now, as a buyer, all you have to do is sit back and wait for your loan to close … right? Wrong!! Getting a home loan these days is a very interactive process. I am always amazed by how many clients I work with who come to me unaware of all the pitfalls they face during the loan process. To help avoid any surprises while waiting for final approval, I provide my clients with a short list of "do's and don'ts" to follow. Let's start with the "do's" ... 1. Do keep the process moving by responding to your loan officers' requests for documentation as soon as possible. 2. Do make decisions as soon as is reasonably possible. 3. Do convey questions or concerns you 4. Do continue to make all of your rent or mortgage payments on time. 5. Do stay current on all other existing accounts. 6. Do continue to work your normal work schedule with no unplanned time off. 7. Do continue to use your credit as normal. 8. Do be prepared to explain any large deposits in your bank accounts. 9. Do enjoy purchasing your home but remain objective throughout the process to help make decisions that are best for you. After you have been pre-approved for your mortgage you will want to refrain from the following... 1. Do not make any major purchases (car, boat, jewelry, furniture, appliances, etc.). 2. Do not apply for any new credit (even if it says you are pre-approved or "xxx days same as cash"). 3. Do not pay off charges or collections (unless directed by your loan officer to do so). 4. Do not make any changes to your credit profile. 5. Do not change bank accounts. 6. Do not make unusual deposits into your bank accounts or move money around from one account to another. Follow these simple rules and you will help to make your loan closing as smooth and hassle-free as possible! Good luck! Barbara Mooers

A HOME FOR YOUR PET - SUGGESTIONS !

Creating a Pet-Friendly Home

A pet-friendly home is not just a fun and safe space for your pet, but also a space that can stand up to...the kinds of things pets do to houses. Making pet-friendly choices in landscaping, design, and the materials you use will ensure that both you and your pet can enjoy your shared space together. Opt for durable flooring Even if your pet is perfectly well house-trained, they're bound to have an accident or two. Choose a flooring material that's easy to clean and won't be damaged by accidents. Linoleum cleans easily and is naturally anti-microbial. Bamboo, cork, tile, and stone are also good picks. If you want carpet, try a modular kind, made of separate carpet squares. Buy back-up squares so if a section gets ruined, you can pop it out and replace it. Avoid wood and laminate floors. Wood is easily scratched and damaged by water and slippery laminate can cause injuries. Choose pet-friendly materials and décor Opt for satin paint instead of flat paint on walls. A glossier finish won't show stains as prominently and wipes clean. Chose low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, especially if your pet bites or licks walls. Match the colors of throw rugs, upholstery, and other décor to your pet's fur color to give yourself a little more leeway in how frequently you'll be vacuuming and de-furring the furniture. Set up a feeding area in a spot where you won't be accidentally kicking over the water bowl. Find a nearby place to store dog food, ideally in a sealed container, like a plastic bin or a metal garbage can with a lid. Protect furniture Choose upholstered pieces covered in tough, easily-cleaned fabrics like leather or ultrasuede. Consider washable slipcovers, throws to protect furniture, or extra-durable fabric designed especially for pet owners. Keep pets from chewing furniture by spraying with store-bought, anti-chewing spray or applying a bit of cayenne pepper to their favorite biting spots. If you need to keep a pet out of a particular area, put up baby gates and provide the pet with plenty of sturdy toys for diversion. Set up a special bed or blanket so your pet has a comfortable, cushiony place of his own. Eliminate dangers around the house Walk around your house and assess possible pet hazards. Move chemicals and cleaning materials to high shelves or locked cabinets. Make sure trash cans are safely secured so pets don't get into something that could be harmful to them. (Many common household articles are toxic to pets including: coffee grounds, onions, grapes, and even nutmeg.) Latch lower cabinets with child locks if necessary and keep curtain and electrical cords out of pet reach. Put screens in upper level windows and make sure they're intact and securely attached. Keep toilet lids closed and avoid automatic bowl cleaners. Wipe up spills in the driveway and garage immediately so pets don't ingest poisons like antifreeze. Remove any indoor plants that are toxic to pets. You can find a list of toxic and non-toxic plants on the Humane Society's web site (www.humanesociety.org). Consider a pet door If you are frequently away from home, consider putting in a pet door. Pet doors can be put in windows, doors, and walls. Smart models recognize your pet electronically and will only open for them, not for other animals. The doors can be controlled remotely and deactivated if you need the pet to stay inside. If you're worried about the resale value of cutting a hole in the wall, consider a model that's built into a glass sliding door. When you sell, you can replace that part of the door with a regular slider. Create a yard for pets and people to share Find safe, pet-friendly materials for plants and hardscape. Put in some mint or catnip for cats and a clover ground cover for dogs because it won't yellow with urine. Outdoor cats like places to hide and things to climb and will make good use of trees and bushy areas. Dogs instinctively patrol the perimeter of the property and like running paths that follow the yard's circumference. If your dog has already created a path, embrace it, covering it with mulch and lining with attractive plantings. Make sure your fence is in good condition with no secret ways out (including benches, large rocks, or other items that can serve as pet launching pads). Consider putting in a small eye-level panel in the fence so dog can peek out and keep a watch on things. For safety, keep sharp tools put away, keep compost bins covered, and avoid chemical like fertilizers and pesticides. Make sure plants are non-toxic and avoid plants with thorns. And pets like a lot of the same things humans like, so you'll both be pleased if your yard has a shady spot to cool off and comfy places to sit
