On Friday, March 31st, myself and over 1000 other Texas REALTORS®, visited the Capitol to make our voices heard on important issues that affect Texas REALTORS® and homeowners, including real estate transfer taxes, mandatory price disclosure, appraisal reform, business vehicle exemption application forms, eminent domain and E & O Insurance.
I was able to meet with State Representative Dan Gattis and State Senator Steve Ogden during my time on the Hill. It was great to be part of such a strong show of support by Texas REALTORS®, in fact, it was the largest group of REALTORS® to take part in the annual day of Hill Visits. The House and Senate issued special resolutions proclaiming March 31 as REALTORS® Day at the Capitol. I am always thrilled to be part of the political process at work, and to share my opinions with elected officials.
Thought you would find this interesting. Interest rates are at historic lows. If you are considering refinancing your home or purchasing an investment property, call me and we can discuss the pros and cons.
I am dressed and ready to take on today's real estate market! It's a war-zone out there, but I am prepared!!!
I received this list from one of the marketing reps at Alamo Title and thought I'd pass it on to all of you. It is a list of the World's Safest Banks according to Global Finance magazine.
New York, 4 September 2008 - Global Finance magazine has released its annual ranking of the
World's Safest Banks, which will be featured in the special October issue alongside several of
the magazine's renowned Best Bank awards. The World's Safest Banks were selected through a
comparison of the long-term credit ratings and total assets of the 300 largest banks around the
world. Ratings from Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch were used.
This is the 16th year that Global Finance has published its list of the world's largest banks
ranked by their creditworthiness. The 10 banks at the top of the list are designated as the
"World's Safest Banks".
These banks will be honored at an awards ceremony to be held in Washington D.C. on
October 13th to coincide with the World Bank/IMF annual meeting.
"These banks have demonstrated an appropriately prudent approach to risk in
providing international financial services," says Global Finance publisher, Joseph D. Giarraputo.
"More than ever customers are viewing strong credit quality as an important feature of the
banks with which they do business."
