Stressful Life Events: Your Move May Be One of Them

Stressful Life Events: Your Move May Be One of Them
Moving along with several other life events can produce stress. There is good stress and bad stress. Here’s a little test to see just how stressed you may or may not be. The relative stressfulness of each event is indicated by the number on the left. The most stressful life event was assigned a value of 100, and other events were assigned lower values in proportion to their effects on stress. Divorce, for example, caused stress in 73% as many individuals that experience this event as was true for the death of a spouse. Notice that change is a common factor in many of these events, often in either direction (e.g., marriage as well as divorce).

To calculate an index of the amount of stress in your life, list all the life events from this table that have affected you in the last year and add up their total scores. Persons with higher scores are much more prone to experiencing major illness or other stress-related conditions in the coming year.

Here’s a Good Reason To Change Your Locks When You Buy A New Home:

A Simi Valley, California woman  arrived home to find a strange man in her bed.

The woman called the Simi Valley Police Department to report that a man with a shaved head was “passed out” in her bed, according to reports from the scene.

The woman reported arriving at her home and after unlocking her deadbolt lock and walkingin, she found a pair of pants and shoes downstairs. She walked into her bedroom to find the man in her bed, clad in his underwear.

The young man lived in the home for years before and after becoming drunk went to the residence, unlocked the front door with ‘his key’ and passsed out. Police arrested the man on suspicion of public intoxication and public nakedness. The homeowner stated that she had never changed the locks when she bought the home years prior.  Lesson…Change Your Locks When You Buy A New Home.

Questionable Marketing Almost Always Guarantees Questionable Results

Questionable Marketing Almost Always Guarantees Questionable Results

We’ve heard the old adage about selling a home…put a sign in the yard, place it in the MLS and Pray! Truthfully, this is going on but it is probably due to not knowing any better. One thing my grandmother always said was, “When you know better, you do better!” One very crucial element of marketing a home for a successful sale is to figure out who the most likely buyer is. While out on an appointment today to evaluate a property, this lesson hit home.

This home was in a pretty poor location. It sat right in front of the freeway with a lovely brick wall view of the freeway. The noise? Oh no, it was really no bother at all to listen to the cars whizzing by every nano-second. The home sits on half an acre. And lo and behold in the smack, dab middle sat this home less than 1500 square feet big. Huh?

As I went inside, all I could think was, “Yikes”! I was there to provide a consultation as to the best marketing approach. Now, I have been known to put on my straight forward hat and tell people to just take a wrecking ball to things. Today was almost no exception. Well…almost!  As i toured the home, I thought, “Who wants this home?”

Well, first of all, one of the first things that was missed in marketing this home was to examine beyond trying to actually sell this home. Now are you wondering where I am going with this? The home is in MAJOR disrepair, tenants live in the home and it is not in the tidiest condition and I told you about the location. But wait….how about the zoning? The home is actually zoned to permit multi-family units, crops, elder care facilities, etc. Wow! With a little creative marketing, we can sell this property for more than what a single family home in the neighborhood is valued at. Yes, the value is in the land! Questionable Marketing Almost Always Guarantees Questionable Results. This is probably why the agent on this home had not seen much traffic and had not seen any offers. It is listed in the Multiple Listing Service under Residential Listings but it cold get a lot more mileage if we to some tweaking here.  With a very well researched and thought out home marketing plan…the results should be far less questionable.
