Thought I would pass along some information on email that I learned. As a technology challenged individual I usually have to depend on our IT genius to show me many of our computer’s capabilities, but here is something I discovered on my own. It really started when one of our clients could not email me when he was away from his home computer. He could not use Outlook from his location to send emails as he was on a different wireless network. I realized that our computer guru had us set our email address using our domain. Now, no matter where we are – as long as we have a high speed connection – we are able to receive and send emails. As Realtors, this is extremely important to our business and enables us to stay in contact with our buyers and sellers. Even if you only use email for personal use, this would enable you to have the same option open to you as you travel.
Just a little update on our market; there has been a lot of activity in our local market. I’m sure much of it stems from the $8,000.00 tax credit for first time home buyers (as long as they purchase AND close before November 29, 2009). But there are also people out there that realize the opportunities available now will not last. Some people are not sure the market has hit bottom as yet, but if the buyer is going to stay in this home for a number of years and not just buy with the intention of “flipping” the property in the next year or so, now is the time. The inventory is high, the sellers are motivated, and if you credit score is high enough, you will certainly have a great investment. Prospective buyers should contact their lender and get pre-approved before they start looking in order to stay within their limitations. Remember – interest rates are lower now than in any time in the last fifty plus years. This won’t last forever so take advantage of the rates now. If you have questions or need the name of a lender, contact me at skip@juckins.com or check our website at www.Riverwalk-Realty.com .
Now an update on our local “Bar Bites” – Francesca’s Passagio at 95 St. and Rt 59 has several. On Mondays they have wines by the bottle for half price. On Tuesdays its a chef’s tasting menu – 3 courses for $22.95 or 5 courses for $25.95. Wednesdays and Thurdays its selected martinis for $5.00. On Friday the appetizers are half price from 5 PM to 7 PM and on Sundays kids eat for free. That covers almost everyday of the week with the exception of Saturday.
