Thanksgiving Is #1 Day For This Home Disaster

If you guessed that cooking fires peak at Thanksgiving, you’re right. What’s more, cooking fires have long been the leading cause of home structure fires and home fire injuries.

Help make sure you’re not the victim of a holiday home fire with these tips:

Keep a fire extinguisher approved for cooking or grease fires nearby.
Check to make sure your smoke detectors are working.
Tell guests where your family has agreed to meet if everyone has to evacuate due to a fire.
When guests require your attention outside the kitchen, turn off the stovetop.
Have a "kid-free zone" of at least 3 feet around the stove and around other areas where hot food or drinks are prepared or carried.

Switch to Flameless Candles

If you put up your holiday decorations this month, be especially careful with your candles. Better yet, use flameless candles, which now come with remote controls, scents, timers, rechargeable batteries, and in many different sizes.

You can find them at Home Depot and Target.

Candle fires increase during the winter holidays because people burn candles more and they burn them near decorations, the National Fire Protection Association says.

When you use real candles, follow these safety tips:

Keep candles at least 12 inches from anything that can burn.
Keep candles out of the reach of children.
Never leave a child unattended in a room with a candle.
Don’t leave a lit candle in a room where a child sleeps.
Use sturdy candleholders that won’t easily tip over.
Put candles out before they burn down completely to the holder or container.
Never use a candle in a home where anyone uses an oxygen tank.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving

Beware of These People ...

***************

Make the "notice of default" list and every Realtor in town is suddenly a short sale expert and knocking on your door or stuffing your mailbox full of notes, cards and letters about what makes them great.

Be careful.

If you'd like to discuss short sales then I'd suggest calling a real expert who won't try and talk you into doing anything. I'll answer all of your short sale questions and after listening to me, your own intuition and/or gut instincts will let you know whether I'm just the right pro for you or not and then you can let me know.

That's how I work.

Testimonial from Greg & Jessica Cowee ...

********************

It is with great pleasure that my husband and I recommend Ken Hall for your next real estate transaction.   We were referred to Ken who within the first phone call gave us hope that we could possibly be homeowners again, after a foreclosed home only 3.5 years ago and less than stellar credit.

Within 24 hours of giving Ken our financial paperwork, we had pre-approval to purchase a home.  After Ken showed us about 7 houses in the Temecula area we were pleased to find a home well below our pre-approved amount in a nice neighborhood less than 2 miles from my husband’s job and daughter’s school.

Ken is obviously a great negotiator because we were able to purchase the home for under list price and the appraisal actually came in $5,000 higher than our purchase price!  Our mortgage payment is $40 per month lower than the good faith estimate Ken gave us when we were trying to decide to offer on this home.  Ken’s mortgage and escrow companies were also tremendous; we were given a 1% lender credit to help with our closing costs.

There were no surprises throughout the escrow process.  We closed on the loan 10 days ago and are enjoying our new neighborhood.

Through the whole process, I was delighted with Ken’s approachability and his speed in returning phone calls, texts, and emails.  I never felt I was a burden to him though I had a lot of questions.  Communication between us, the escrow company, the lending company and the various property inspectors was transparent and speedy.

It wasn’t until I got the news we were clear to close on the deal that I realized how important home ownership is to me and how much I missed it.  It would have not been possible without Ken.  Thank you!


 Greg and Jessica Cowee, Temecula

Expensive Home Seller Mistakes ...

**************************

Overspending on big or small "fix ups" getting it ready for the market is a cash killer. There's lots of things you could purchase to make your place show better that you'll never get your money back on and it's one of the biggest mistakes many sellers make.

For example, could a pressure washer accomplish what you thought you needed paint for? Call me to discuss what you may or may not want to do in terms of preparing your home for the market. I can help!
