Are Pets Soiling Your Chances of
Selling Your Home?

Pets
are often so loved by their owners that
they are allowed the run of the house.
At their worst, doggie and kitty
dictators mark their territory with
pungent odors and unsightly stains.
When you love these little furry
friends, it's hard to realize how much
these pets may be hurting your marketing
efforts in selling your home. If you are
like most pet lovers, you may be a
little on the sensitive side.
If your listing agent is having a
hard time communicating with you about
your pets and their effect on buyers and
other agents, perhaps a look at this
neutral third-party list of suggestions
may help you understand the problem
better:
If it smells, it won't sell. Your pet
may be perfectly well mannered, but that
doesn't mean your home is odor-free.
Most pet odor comes from fur and dander.
Pets mark their territory by rubbing
their fur on objects. That's why your
kitty rubs your ankles with her sides.
Minimize pet odors by not allowing your
pets to sleep on couches and carpets.
Provide them with a cuddly bed

Is Your Insurance Up To Par?

The
first of the year is upon us. We are
soon to make New Year's resolutions --
and not long after we are fairly certain
to break them.
But the turn of the calendar is
also a good time to do something in real
estate that has become increasingly
important: Check your insurance
coverage.
I bring this up not only because
we have recently seen various
hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, fires,
windstorms, earthquakes and other
tribulations of historic proportions,
but also because the nature of
homeowners insurance is changing.
To start, it's perfectly plain
that homeowners insurance is something
one never uses except in a dire and
substantially-expensive emergency. Small
claims are foolish -- they can lead to
higher rates and outright cancellations.
Since small claims are hazardous
to your coverage, it makes sense to
increase your deductible. Instead of
$500 go to $1,000 or more. After all,
you're not going to jeopardize coverage
over $500 so why have such a small
deductible? A higher deductible will
reduce premium costs and that's a good
way to start the New Year.
It also makes sense to speak with
your insurance broker every so often --
and now is the time. You want to know
about the status of your policy (whether

Safety
and Home Improvement

Just
when you thought you could do it yourself, you
really can.
With home improvements stores popping up
left and right and television shows giving first
class instruction on how to be your own
carpenter, painter, etc., it's now easier than
ever to take care of your home on your own.
But, while the number of do-it-yourselfers
who choose to perform home improvement projects
on their own has grown dramatically over the
years, unfortunately, so have the number of
injuries.
Spending on home-repair and remodeling
materials has grown to an expected $170 billion
this year from about $105 billion in 1990. While
doing that work last year, homeowners sustained
more than 300,000 injuries.
Since do-it-yourself projects have
increased so much in the last few years,
