Homeowners Insurance The Whats and Whys

March 26th, 2008

It is hard to imagine having to rebuild your home after and act of nature for example, so it is important to protect it as best you can; by using some forward thinking and preparation, many events no matter how bad, can be dealt with. There are always going to be problems and we all have to do our best to protect what is valuable from natural events and also from people who want to cause us and our homes damage. Protecting you property is just a matter of arranging a homeowners insurance policy with an insurance company which in return for your regular contribution, they will pay out an agreed amount of money should a claim be made.

Typical situations covered by most house insurance policies are damage to the property, possessions, theft of items, acts of vandalism and of course, fire. There is normally a limit on how much will be paid out which would cover the average home but there will almost always be a deductible to include in the calculations as well.

Outlawing Dual Agency?

March 24th, 2008

As I was surfing the web this post on outlawing dual agency got my attention. The author is apparently a real estate agent in Seattle Washington and he relates the story of his cousin’s ordeal.

Trevor (the author) attempts to clarify which type of dual agency should be outlawed. He believes that 2 different agents in the same company each representing a buyer and seller is fine. It is when one agent represents both buyer and seller that there is a problem.

In-State Tuition Rates can save tens of thousands for those living out of state.

March 16th, 2008

With the 2008 school year rapidly coming to a close many parents are looking ahead to their student becoming a college freshman in the Fall of 2008. Now alot of these students are going to be leaving the nest and attending school out of state.

With a daughter starting in the Fall we have been extremely busy researching college scholarships and preparing for the change. Through this research I discovered that there is a very substantial tuition cost difference between in-state and out-of-state rates. This prompted further investigation and what I found was very enlightening.

Based on this research I created a lens on Squidoo that goes more into detail on saving thousands on in-state tuition for those that live out of state.

10 out of 11 vote Perkins Guilford County Commissioner Chairman

December 7th, 2007

With the only NO coming from Billy Yow, Democrat Kirk Perkins was elected as chairman of the Guilford County Commissioners.

As chairman Perkins does not get more voting power, however he does help keep order by running meetings and helping shape the agenda to keep the board on track. Being on track and focused is something that at times seems almost foreign to the Guilford County Commissioners.

You can cast your comment about Perkins at the News and Record’s blog.
