Toxic Plastic 3-Turn Over the Bottle and Look….Most people have heard of Toxic plastic 3 it is considered by many experts as to be one of the most dangerous, carcinogenic plastic ever created by man.  It can not be RECYCLED, it will sit in our landfills forever emitting carcinogenic chemicals into the air, water and soil.  This plastic has been approved by the FDA but we still use it in packaged foods, health care products etc.  Turn over any plastic container you have and see if it has a 3 or V stamped into the plastic.  The carcinogens leach into the products they contain, resulting in your eating PVC, or lathering it into your hair, brushing your teeth and much more.  When buying your plastic items be sure to check that they don’t have a 3 or V.

Do you find that you are carrying a lot more in your car than you used to? It is amazing to me all the things we carry and use daily. That handy 10 foot measuring tape that I used to carry in my purse for “just in case” is now a 100 foot tape necessary to measure the home I am listing. I just love the look on parents faces as I pull out my bag of toys to entertain the children while they are trying to decide if this house is the right one or not, and then the camera and portable photo printer to capture the moment when they fall in love with their soon to be new home.
When I find myself out on land, I break out my compass and maybe even the GPS, and let’s not forget the water and the first aid kit.
There are two different kinds of boots necessary, those for hiking and walking on parcels of land and those that just need to go over your shoes in a house that the owner would rather you take them off.
The moment you know you have everything is when you can pull out your computer and printer and write up the offer in the backseat of your car and with the portable fax machine, you send it off for acceptance.
I used to think I carried a lot with me when my son was small, and I did, but this is a whole new world with gadgets and equipment we use every day and I wouldn’t change a thing, but add whatever is necessary to make this job even more exciting and helpful for myself and my clients.

Picking your neighborhood is as important as picking your new home. 
1.  Look at the house several times, during the day and night.  A neighborhood can look very different at night when everyone is at home..traffic, kids in neighborhood.
2.  Neighborhood can also affect your pocket book, house prices, property taxes and don’t forget to calculate commuting cost.
3.  Talk to the neighbors they love to tell new buyers everything that is wrong with the house and the surrounding people.
4.  Life is getting busy and being close to downtown has become an important issue for people…check out the downtown on weekends and special event times, see if you can live with the traffic, noise & walking distance from the home you want to purchase.
