Mortgage Debt Relief Act
Several weeks ago I had emailed a handful of my clients that potentially may have been affected if the Senate & Congress hadn't extended this bill. If this bill wasn't extended it would have affected thousands of families across the United States! Thank you to all that reached out to your local congress & Senators about this issue. I’m glad to report that even though we didn't get the 2 year extension we were after at least they extended it for 2014. Read More....

When it comes to energy efficiency, look for smart features and expertise to help you save energy and money and add value to your home.
1. Begin with a Right-Sized Home.
If the home you buy is simply too large for you or your family’s needs or plans, you stand a good chance of wasting energy through excessive heating and cooling costs. If it’s too small, you’ll feel cramped and uncomfortable. It’s a big investment, so seek balance and buy it “right” from the outset.
2. Purchase Energy Star Appliances Such as Your TV, Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer, and Microwave.
And especially the refrigerator, as it alone contributes about 10 percent of the energy use in a home. Also, unplug electronics not in use or turn off power strips to avoid phantom charges.
3. Install Efficient Lighting Such as Compact Flourescent (CLF) or LED Bulbs in Every Fixture.
