Heat Wave ! Stay Cool By the Pool! Phila Pa 19114

Heat Wave ! Stay Cool By the Pool! Phila Pa 19114. It has been so hot it has been difficult to think. the best time to show homes is in the early mornings . Sellers have to be aware that it is best to have the A/C on.

There is nothing worse than showing vacant homes with no A/C on in a heat wave.I have been advising my sellers to leave the air on. In my humble opinion it is just as bad as showing a home that is unkept and dirty. If the buyers are uncomfortable when they walk in the home they are not going to buy it.Sellers should have their A/C  on in their homes even when not home. Keep it cool in a heat wave.

Phila Pa 19114 temperatures have been record breaking in the high 90's.With the humidity it felt like 100 degrees.  A Great way to beat the heat is by the pool. Stay cool especially senior citizens. Check on your senior neighbors in Heat waves.

Thinking of buying or selling please call me 215 992 1735 for free information

Here is a short "video" I hope you enjoy

Fire Safety - How to Put Out a Fire with a Fire Extinguisher

 

This is from Jeff Dowler in California

We can all use this Helpful Information

 

Via Jeff Dowler ~ Carlsbad Real Estate ~ 760-840-1360 (RE/MAX Moonlight Beach (CA DRE Lic. # 01490977)):

How to Put Out a Fire with a Fire Extinguisher 

Fire

The Encinitas Fire Department put on a demonstration yesterday on how to put out a fire using a fire extinguisher. [photo courtesy of photo8.com on Flickr]

This demonstration was part of the class on Emergency Preparedness being offered by the Natural Living Source. The demo was held in the parking lot outside the Blue Star Body Lounge who hosted the site for the remainder of the Emergency Preparedness class

Critical to putting out a fire with a fire extinguisher, of course, is knowing HOW to use it, and the videos will explain the procedure and show you how it's done

 

The important way to remember the procedure is PASS: 

P - Pull the ring to release the handle on the extinguisher

A - Aim the hose

S - Squeeze the handle to release the chemicals

S - Sweep back and forth with the hose, spraying LOW at the base of the flames NOT at the middle or top

 

 

I hope you will share this important message with others who might benefit. And for those who don't even have a fire extinguisher in their homes, well, perhaps this will inspire them. Per the Encinitas Fire Department a home fire extinguisher can be used to put out many small fires and possible prevent a worse fire or tragedy. 

Visit the Natural Living Source for more information on Emergency Preparedness  and other classes.

The Blue Star Body Lounge offers a wide range of services for hands, feet, skin, face and hair, along with holistic treatments including hot stone massage therapy. Located at 1104 Garden View Road in Encinitas ~ (760) 633-3333

In Just 50 Days Your Home Will be Worth $8000 Less!

 

What a wonderful way to put the $8000 Tax Credit ..Time is Running out!

45 Days Left......  Will Your House Be Worth Less TOO !

 

Via Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance):

The countdown is on!  In just 50 days, believe it or not -- for those of you keeping track, that's 7 weeks and 1 day, your home will be worth $8000 less.

Countdown

No, it's not the apocalypse.  Your roof is not going to collapse nor will all your kitchen appliances start to malfunction on May 1, 2010.  Stains and holes will not mysteriously appear on your hardwood floor or carpets.  Your windows will not shatter and the paint will not start peeling off of your walls.

3D GlassesThere's no magic switch that gets flipped causing all home listings on the MLS to suddenly reduce their price by $8,000.  Nor will anyone else tell you this or warn you of this impending and certain eventuality.

Rather, on May 1st, homebuyers across America, and certainly here in Northern Virginia and D.C. will remove their government-issued rose tinted 3-D glasses and in their own minds subtract $8000 from the value of your home.

Of course, I'm talking about the deadline for the Homebuyer Tax Credit.  In order to take advantage of the $8000 Homebuyer Tax Credit or the $6500 Move-up Homebuyer Tax Credit, homebuyers must enter into a ratified contract to purchase a home by no later than April 30th.  Then they must settle on the home and go to closing by June 30, 2010.

Time is running out.  The market already takes into account the presence of the tax credit, meaning that the prices charged for homes today will be worth $8000 less on May 1st from the perspective of potential buyers since they will no longer be able to benefit from the credit offered by the government.

Thinking about selling your home?  It's time to get it on the market now. Already on the market? It may be time to reduce your price and get it sold now. 

It's called the Homebuyer Tax Credit, but it benefits you the seller as well.

Watch the video below for some more details on the tax credit and give me a call at 703-626-0715 to discuss selling your home now:

Phila Pa 19114 Blizzard 2010 Hits the East Coast "Video"

Blizzard Hits Philadelphia Pa .This is the most snow that Philadelphia Pa 2010 has ever had in it's history. It has closed the entire city except for emergency workers.The last snow we had 27" which started on Friday night and ended late Saturday afternoon.

This storm which is called a blizzard started about 7:30 Tuesday evening.It gave us a short break and started up again .. Very dangerous conditions even snow plows had accidents.They closed major highway and interstate highways.Even the Pa Turnpike.They interrupted TV programs with emergency alert to tell everyone to stay off the roads ..All Schools and businesses and City governments will be closed again on Thursday to try to clear the dangerous  icy road conditions.

I took this short "video" In Delaire Landing Phila Pa 19114 a private community.We pay for our own snow removal.It is not supplied by the city. As you will see in the "video" although people were told to stay off the roads There were still cars driving. Weather is now predicting more snow Monday evening. Sure hope they are wrong.
