A Powerful Home Buying Tool, ($ 14.99, paperback, 9781498407953; $ 7.99, e-book, 9781498407960) features a quarter centurys worth of experience in real estate and new home sales; plus thought-provoking questions for consideration, quizzes, and clever quotes that will cause any potential home buyer to literally stop and think before making any decision. This book does not merely skim over the facts, but provides the complete dos and donts to the life-altering investment of home buying.

Finally, there is a resource that will educate, prepare, and equip home buyers and agents alike, on how to buy the right house at the right price.

Northern Virginia Real Estate Company Pasquali Realty Group Offers Home Maintenance Tips For New Homeowners

Saturday, October 11th, 2014


Burke, VA (PRWEB) October 02, 2014

Pasquali Realty Group, a Northern Virginia real estate company asks, whether a new homeowner or one for years, think of keeping the home in top shape. It could prevent costly problems down the road — and assist in getting top dollar when it comes time to sell.

The first thing to do is develop and then implement a maintenance plan.

The Insurance Information Institute, the American Society of Home Inspectors, the National Association of Home Builders, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Freddie Mac and the U.S. Homebuyer Education Center offer a host of maintenance tips.

Water:

Check visible water pipes and sewer lines for cracks, rusting and leaking; turn on faucets to test water pressure and volume; and look for clogged or sluggish drains or dripping faucets. If pipes are galvanized or steel and the house is old, be sure to check carefully along the entire length of the pipe. Wrap the pipes with heating tape every winter and insulate unfinished rooms such as garages if they contain exposed pipes. Also check for signs of leaking or rusting on the water heater.

Electricity:

Check the electrical system’s load center and see if there are fuses or circuit breakers; also check its age and look for signs of wear or exposed wires.

Heat:

Check the heating system for gas leaks and cracks in the heat exchanger. Maintain the furnace, fireplace, boiler, water heater, space heater and wood-burning stove and have the heating system serviced every year. Clean and vacuum dust from vents, baseboard heaters and cold-air returns.

Gas:

Check all smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors. Change the heating and air conditioning filters. Have the appliances inspected for gas leaks and adequate ventilation.

Insulation:

The attic should be five to 10 degrees warmer than outside air. Check weather stripping and caulking around windows and doors and replace or repair it as needed. Also repair broken glass and loose or missing putty on windows.

Basement/Attic:

Well-insulated basements and crawl spacers will protect the pipes from freezing. Check the basement for signs of water leaking, dampness, flooding, dry rot and termites. Check the attic for signs of leaks and any rodent or insect infestation.

Exterior:

Remove all debris from gutters. Maintain the steps and handrails. Inspect the roof for damaged or loose shingles; gaps in the flashing where the roofing and siding meet vents and flues; and damaged mortar around the chimney (especially at the joints, caps and washes). Inspect the home’s exterior walls, looking for possible weather-related damage like cracks and loose or crumbling mortar.

Pasquali Realty Group is an incorporated business that is a subsidiary under NBI Realty, and is currently licensed in both Virginia, and Washington, DC. They are a member of the National Board of Realtors(NAR), Virginia Board of Realtors(VAR), and Northern Virginia Board of Realtors(NVAR).

Friday, October 10th, 2014


Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 06, 2014

http://www.GivingTuesday.org

During meetings in Washington, DC today, a small but powerful part of more than 10,000 U.S.-based #GivingTuesday partners and supporters joined forces to solidify their commitments for #GivingTuesday. Among the attendees, there was a feeling of national unity over the prospect of what December 2, 2014this years #GivingTuesdaywill bring. An unprecedented number of U.S. organizations will be participating with a wide range of creative initiatives to inspire their employees, customers and constituents together with the American public to support a varied and exciting group of causes.

The #GivingTuesday movement, since its launch in 2012, has reflected the generosity of people around the world. A diverse set of dedicated partners and supporters have proven that the future of giving is bright and that when it comes to philanthropy, a day that brings people together paired with the force of social media has the power to transform societies.

A special luncheon, held at the United Nations Foundation, was attended by more than 60 partners and supporters and provided the opportunity for these excited participants to share the initiatives they have planned for #GivingTuesday with a group of peers who are equally enthusiastic about the upcoming day of global philanthropy. Henry Timms, Executive Director of the 92nd Street Y said, “It is so inspiring to hear from leaders across the country, who are working on far-reaching campaigns that celebrate our great tradition of giving. From new curricula that teach kids to give, to ambitious volunteering pledges, to major matching gifts, partners across the country are lining up dynamic plans for GT.

Media Partnership Announced with msnbc

In conjunction with Monday’s meetings in Washington, D.C., msnbc announced that it would serve as a signature media partner for the #GivingTuesday movement. This partnership will help spotlight the innovative ways that people are giving back in their communities — and around the world. “#GivingTuesday is a simple and powerful idea that has the potential to make an enormous impact. We’re thrilled to connect the msnbc community to this dynamic and fast growing movement,” said Phil Griffin, President of msnbc. As part of the partnership, msnbc will help raise the profile of the #GivingTuesday conversation about ways people everywhere can give back in their communities and nation. “Msnbc’s nationwide audience of passionate, smart and creative people brings a new dimension of both engagement, commitment and diversity to the #GivingTuesday movement,” said Aaron Sherinian, Vice-President of Communications and Public Affairs at the United Nations Foundation.

From Sea to Shining Sea: #GivingTuesday in America

Within the U.S., local causes and municipalities are helping to institutionalize how the movement is reaching their local constituencies. These civic entities include Oklahoma, which has launched GiveTogetherOK.com (#GTOK); the Northern New Jersey #GivingTuesday 2014 Coalition; the Rollins College Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center in the Orlando area; and #GivingTuesdayCFL throughout Central Florida. These cities and states join the ranks of last years impressive regional #GivingTuesday movements, including BMoreGivesMore in Baltimore, #GivingTuesdayBucks (Bucks County, Penn.), #GivingTuesdayPHL (Philadelphia). Additional examples of #GivingTuesday partners and their initiatives in the U.S. include:
