I am dedicated to ensuring a home purchase is a smooth and positive experience for you, and for your family, friends, and acquaintances. Please tell them how much I will do for them! Fall is approaching! Call me today and I will provide you with some helpful tips on preparing your home and yard for the arrival of “Old Man Winter.” Coffee aficionados value coffee filters simply for what they’re designed to do. But check out these practical and creative uses for this kitchen basic. Home warranties are service contracts that cover the failure of home systems and appliances due to normal wear and usage. Homeowners insurance indemnifies the homeowner against damage or liability arising from some unknown or contingent event. Both offer valuable budget protection for the homeowner, and they can work in conjunction with one another. For example, if a water heater leaks and floods the home, the home warranty will replace the water heater, while homeowners insurance may cover the secondary water damage. For complete budget protection, I recommend that all my clients include an Old Republic Home Protection Plan in their home transaction. Call me today for more information about how a home warranty can benefit you.
Cold or Allergy…which is it? You’re stuffed up, you’re sniffling—
but do you have an allergy or is it a cold? Colds, which are viruses, hit suddenly and usually leave in three to five days, although symptoms can linger longer. Additional signs can include mild fever, enlarged lymph nodes, muscle aches and coughing. Allergies are an overreaction of your immune system. They come on slowly and linger as long as the allergen is around. Allergies are more characterized by sneezing and an itchy or runny nose. Doctors generally recommend common treatments for both cold and allergy sufferers: eight hours of sleep, eight glasses of water daily, sinus rinses, humidifiers and warm chicken soup. All of these measures can lessen the symptoms and help you bounce back sooner. With colds, you may also want to take acetaminophen for mild fever and muscle pain, and rest for a week to 10 days: your immune system may be low, making you more vulnerable to infection. For allergies, the best defense is a good offense—avoid what you are allergic to. If you can’t, and over-the-counter allergy medications don’t help, your doctor may want to prescribe stronger allergy medications or discuss allergy shots, which can decrease sensitivity to allergens over time for some people.
