Jan 2010 Newsletter intro
Dear Nalls Home Partners Clients, Friends and Family:
Chief cook and bottle washer come to mind this week as we personally hand stuffed thousands of gift magnets into envelopes to send to our clients, customers and friends. Rather than calendars, this year we made a list of important phone numbers, like utilities and county services, that should be useful to have handy. A few people called asking about their 2010 calendar magnets though, so we had some of those printed as well. If you are not on our Snail Mail list and would like to receive either 2010 magnet, please give us a call and we'll be happy to send you one or both.
While we stuffed, our assistant Becky kept reminding us to get the articles written for this electronic newsletter. And of course, business went on with Tom taking three new listings and receiving a number of contracts. It is that kind of broad based business model - one that mixes traditional, time tested real estate practices with new technologies and ideas - that makes our group work so well. So we talk about ways to further improve our website while we still stuff envelopes ourselves once a year. When it is time to list your home, we post high resolution color photographs to literally dozens of websites but we still pick up the phone and call prospective buyers too. It's the best of both worlds.
In addition to the commonly used numbers on our magnet this year, we are continuing to add to the referral resources listed on our website. These are businesses of all sorts, but mostly those associated with houses and real estate, that we can personally recommend. If you have or know of a business that you would like us to include, please pass their information on to us. We are always happy to expand the list.
Finally, a shameless plug to our friend and client Andrew Berman's business, Spectrum Printing and Graphics in Rockville, that stepped up heroically and turned letterhead and envelopes around for us in about 48 hours when we realized that we had run short for this big mailing. Also to Herman and Malka Stopak at Creative-Potentials for their patience with all the last minute additions to the magnets. Our business is truly a team effort and we are so grateful for all the great businesses that support us!
All the best -

PROPERTY INSURANCE
Recently we heard from a client who unfortunately had pipes freeze and break in the bitter cold last week. It started a conversation about homeowner's insurance claims and property resale. This has become a problem in the past few years as insurance companies are increasingly reluctant to insure both properties that have had claims or homeowners that have made claims. Yes, that's right, they get you twice. Say for example you make a claim for damage caused by a sewer backup and then decide to move two years later. Your purchaser may have trouble insuring the property even if they go to another company because the address is "tagged" in a national database. If they can get insurance, they may ask you to pay the difference in the premium, which can be as much as 200% higher than it would normally cost. You can always say no, but it certainly complicates the deal. To make matters worse, YOU may have similar issues getting insurance for the house you are trying to buy because the same national database tagged your personal information. And because part of the insurance application requires listing previous residences, having a spouse apply for the insurance doesn't work. We've tried. The "penalty period" for a claim is usually about 5 years.
The Maryland Association of Realtors has a helpful pamphlet on the subject Click HERE for a copy of the pamphlet . Of course the best advice you can get will be from your insurance agent. We refer Al Fuentes and Curt Sumpter at State Farm Insurance in Bethesda 301 657 2323 if you need a name.
