As REALTORS®, we have a tremendous responsibility and opportunity to educate the public about how to operate a home so it is energy and resource efficient. We really need to take green courses so we can catch up with the public and be able to fulfill our professional obligations. Armed with this knowledge we can learn how to communicate with certain buyers who are very conscious of green practices, energy efficiency, and reducing toxins. I am currently going through the on line RE/MAX Satellite training for "NAR Green Designation". While taking the course, I found the following statistics very alarming: "According to "U.S. Green Building Council",  in the USA alone, buildings account for: 70% of electricity, 39% of all energy use,  39% of all (CO2) emissions,  40% of raw materials use, ...

Should you go condo?. ..or just go for a more traditional single family home? If you are in Rockville Maryland . .consider the Pros and Cons  before deciding what to buy Rockville MD . . thinking of moving? Condominium or a single family home. .  Which is right for you? Condos and houses have their advantages, but did you know. .  PROS Condos are an easy upkeep: Do you lead a busy life? A condo should be on the top of your list, it can offer you a comfortable home free of grass mowing, repairs and snow shoveling. If you’re not a hands-on, Handy Manning type or  do-it-yourself-type. .it just makes a lot of sense having a maintenance crew take care of the repairs around you. The Location is usually much better on a condo: A condo provides the option of living right in the heart of the ci...

Can't Sell Your House? ! The recent slowdown in the real estate market is causing many home owners to fall behind on their mortgage payments. If you can not sell your house fast, and you have a pretty good idea things ain't getting any better. .  You should modify your loan. . If you know that you are losing your home to foreclosure. .calling your bank is a great way to start. .if that does not work then  you have one last option.  Have a professional Realtor that specializes in short sales  complete a short sale. A short sale is a process that will allow you to sell your home and essentially be relieved of the debt to the bank.  There are many reasons why I suggest having a professional Realtor that specializes in short sales perform the short sale process. Give me a call to discuss y...

Can't Pay Your Mortgage Payments Anymore? Are you the reason?!! A couple things to consider if you are late on your mortgage payments. . Your credit cards. .cut them in half!. . If you are not paying your mortgage because you have spent unwisely and still have the same employment, then your only hardship is your spending habit. .it is important that you seek credit counseling immediately  and possibly assistance in setting up a budget to pay off your creditors.
