Protect Yourself: How Credit Card Changes Affect YOU

The new rules for credit card companies that mean more consumer protection went into effect on Feb. 22, 2010. Here’s what they mean for you:

Your credit card company has to tell you:

¨ When they’re increasing your rate or other fees, giving you 45 days notice. Also, they can’t raise the interest rate on an existing balance unless you’re more than 60 days late with a payment. And they can’t increase your rate for the first 12 months after you open an account (with some exceptions).

How long it will take to pay off your balance. It will say on your bill how long it will take if you only make minimum payments, and how much you’d need to pay each month to pay off your balance in three years.

Monitor your cards closely and follow these tips to protect yourself:

ü Pay on time. Companies are required to mail or deliver your bill at least 21 days (instead of 14) before your payment is due. Plan accordingly.

ü Stay below your credit limit. You will, however, be given the choice to “opt-in” to over-the-limit transactions. If you opt-in and go over your limit, your credit card company can impose only one fee per billing cycle.

ü Try to make more than the minimum payment. You’ll pay less interest in the long run.

ü Shop for the best deal. Don’t forget to check out local banks or credit unions when you’re looking for a card with the best rate.

ü Read your mail. They may give you 45 days notice on a rate change, but you won’t know if you don’t open the envelope if it looks like junk mail.

READY, SET, STAGE!

Posted by Jana Robison on February 16th, 2010

Are we headed for Broadway?

Not exactly but we are going to look into the art of staging your home.

With over 90% of home buyers searching online for a new home your home must make a great first impression. The first impression is a lasting impression! In a buyers market sellers compete with sellers. If buyers are not impressed what they see online they will move on to the next listing. Ready, Set, Stage! works with you and your Realtor to put your home on the “must see” list for today’s home buyers.

What is Home Staging?

Home Staging is the art of preparing your home to sell. It is not about decorating; Staging creates a lifestyle that buyers are looking for and helps them make an emotional connection to your home. In today’s competing market this is essential.

Why should I Stage my home?

BEFORE

When you make the decision to sell your home it becomes a product. Staging sets your home apart from competing homes on the market. Today’s buyers are looking for “move-in” ready homes. Staging is a marketing tool. When added to your Realtors marketing at plan you have homes that sells faster and for more of the asking price!

Exit Pro Realty is “Rarified”

Posted by Larry Robison on February 9th, 2010

Rarified

Okay so I admit, I had to look up the meaning of the word “RARIFIED”. So what does it mean.

2. [a] of high moral or intellectual value; elevated in nature or style ; “an exalted ideal”; “argue in terms of high-flown ideals”- Oliver Franks; “a noble and lofty concept”.

3. [a] reserved for an elite group .

Now that I know the definition, I feel better about the statement that was made about Exit Pro Realty. After a meeting a couple of weeks ago, there was a reference that Exit Pro Realty was rarified. In this reference I now understand that this person was paying Exit Pro Realty a huge compliment. Once a person hangs around Exit Pro Realty a little while they start picking up on the idea of being positive and understanding the lofty concepts of success that we at Exit Pro Realty aspire to accomplish. Here is the challenge for agents at other real estate companies that might be considering make a change. Are you a potentially rarifed real estate agent. Are you looking for an opportunity to be a part of real estate company that holds agents to a high moral standard, who has new and relative ideas flowing up and down the halls. If so, please consider giving Mel Reed a call (479-636-7777).

BELLA VISTA: DID YOU KNOW…..

Posted by Larry Robison on February 6th, 2010

BELLA VISTA: WHO KNEW…….

They don’t force you to play golf here, but you might want to buy some clubs just in case

By BRET SCHULTE

Posted: September 18, 2008

Shirley Borhauer is no Ponce de León, but the retired school nurse from Chicago seems to be the one who discovered the Fountain of Youth. On a hot August day, she’s wearing a charismatic smile and a black swimsuit, ready for a dive into one of three swimming pool complexes in Bella Vista, Ark. She’s here at least every other day—when she’s not on one of the town’s seven 18-hole golf courses or three walking trails. Then again, she could also be on the eight tennis courts, or fishing and boating on the eight stocked lakes, or exercising in the two recreation centers.

Borhauer, 81, thinks living in this idyllic village set among the trees and bluffs of the Ozark Mountains has “added 10 years to our lives.” In Bella Vista, it’s not uncommon to see a 75-year-old working out with a tennis pro or to hear that your 90-year-old neighbor just bought a new set of golf clubs. Enter the Branchwood recreation center, and you see a bulletin board overloaded with fliers for activities and clubs. Enroll in dance classes. Join the Ozark Hill Hikers, the Bella Vista Men’s Chorus, or the Cycle Riders. Competitive senior softball teams tour the region, and swimmers race in the Senior Olympics. For a slower pace, you can join bowling leagues, book clubs, bridge clubs, and bingo nights.

Enjoying Arkansas’s mild winters, recreational offerings, and reasonable cost of living. A low property owners’ fee helps pay for all the golf courses and other facilities and gives the residents low-cost and nearly exclusive access (guests are welcome but pay quite a bit more) to what Bella Vista has to offer.

“Too good.” Retired accountant and Kansas native Tom Pyle, 61, considered ritzier places in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas when retiring a decade ago. Arkansas was last on the list. He and his wife, Biddy, came through on a Saturday, and they bought a place on Sunday. “The economics are too good,” Pyle says as he heads to the practice green of the Bella Vista Country Club. The lifestyle isn’t bad, either. “People play golf in Bella Vista until they can barely walk,” he cracks.

Count Dick and Jan Beck of Decatur, Ill., among them. With a red golf cart out front and a scenic view of the 15th fairway of the Highlands Golf Course out back, their house on a bluff “was our dream, and we finally accomplished it,” Dick Beck, 69, says. The two say they will golf till they drop. That’s a common sentiment in this retirement town where

Bella Vista Country Club

no one seems to tire. Or want to go anywhere else. “The only way I’ll leave,” Jan Beck, 64, says, “is feet first.”

Short Sales in Northwest Arkansas: What You Should Know

Posted by Ben Roberts on December 11th, 2009

A Short Sale is simply when a seller has a mortgage balance that is higher than the home is worth. If the bank agrees to sell the property, then they short sell it and take a loss to stop a bad situation from getting worse. While Northwest Arkansas is definitely not in the shape that most major cities are in, we do have a lot of property owners that are under water. If you are one of those people, don’t wait for a bad situation to get worse. Get it figured out now. Here’s a good little video explaining short sales. Please ignore the barking dog at the end of the video . Read the rest of this entry »
