INSURANCE 411
Do you know someone who has had their homeowners insurance cancelled because their lender did not pay the bill? Due to high turnover in mortgage companies and loans being sold several times throughout the term, borrowers are at high risk of having problems with the payment of their insurance premiums if a mortgage company pays the insurance company directly. Most of the time, this problem can be easily fixed if the insured will just pass along the cancellation notice they receive from their mortgage company to their insurance agent. There are things that an agent can do to help their clients resolve a potential cancellation before it happens.
We have all heard the stories and seen the photos from the recent floods happening in the Mid-West. Did you know that at the time of the flooding, less than 9% of residents in the high-risk areas of Iowa and Missouri and less than 1% of residents in low to moderate-risk areas had flood insurance coverage, according to FEMA? And it's no different in Texas! It is critical for all homeowners to recognize that just because they are not in a federally identified flood zone, does not mean that they are immune to flooding. Everyone is at risk of flooding. Everyone lives in a flood zone - it's just a question of whether the property is in a low, moderate or high-risk area. So when getting a quote for homeowners insurance you should always look at flood insurance coverage and for many areas the coverage is surprisingly affordable!
Judge Fite Insurance Agency is there to serve you and your clients with superior knowledge and customer service. The goal is for all of our clients to be properly covered and properly serviced. Also, remember that when you support the core services of Judge Fite Company, you are investing in the tools and technology to help you sell more homes.

Hi Active Rain Friends and Family! I did it!! I moved - Not only my home, but now my office.....
I recently announced that I was moving my family to Prosper, TX and now I have changed my office, (not broker) to Century 21 Judge Fite in Frisco, TX. I recently updated my profile to show my Active Rain community where I live, work & play.
When I first joined the Active Rain community, my office was in Mansfield, TX, located in Tarrant County and my home also in Mansfield. I grew up in Rendon, went to Everman High School and lived in Mansfield/South Arlington/Fort Worth, all in Tarrant County for the last 34 years. ( I know, hard to believe I'm that old! LOL!) I built a great business there, still have many friends there and planted roots for my family.
(I am just not one of those people who will show you the homes of the famous people who live here, they deserve privacy too, especially when they move to a small town of about 5,000 people and they have kids.)
A few weeks ago, my family and I moved to Prosper, TX, for many reasons...1) my husbands commute to work at Ericsson in North Plano from Mansfield was taking at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours (hello...gas prices), 2) we have been wanting to move back to "small town" Texas ever since we both left it years ago, and 3) this is where we want to raise our kids; where everything you need in within walking distance, you don't have to lock your doors and eveyone knows your name and looks out for you.
So, after a few weeks of getting boxes emptied, painting rooms, redecorating, getting kids adjusted to a new school, church, and friends, hosting my daughters 12th birthday party with 3 other "tweenagers"; oh, don't let me forget about the 5 stitches my son got a week after we moved; I am ready to blog again!
After the move, I started to feel my husbands pain of the commute, believing that I could still manage working out of the Mansfield office, by just going in 2 days a week. OMG, as my 12 year old would say, the drive is brutal!! (sorry Robert, for having to endure that drive for a year! Muah!) So...I changed my office from the Mansfield Century 21 Judge Fite office to the Judge Fite office in Frisco just a few days ago. While I miss my family at the office in Mansfield, I am BEYOND excited about joining the Frisco office of Fine Homes & Estates.
Although I planted roots in Tarrant County and always considered myself a "Fort Worth" country girl, it only seemed right to give my official new "homeland", in Collin County, the respect it is due and display it proudly on my Active Rain profile and all of my other blogs and profiles (no one can have just one!) After all, even a "Fort Worth" country girl can find peace and happiness being a "Dallas Diva" when there is sooooo much great shopping!!!!!!!
So, when you get a chance, stop on by and say "Hi", visit my office or my home or just meet me for a day out on the town shopping, dining or looking for a new house!!!

I am a HUGE fan of my kiddos, I love making them laugh and hearing them call me "goofy"! I count my blessings every day and thank God for all I have.

Texas - Like A Whole Other Country
Since its creation, Frisco was a retail and shipping point, beginning with a number of cotton gins and grain elevators, and was the home of a Farmers Co-operative Gin Association. By 1914 the town had grown to a population of 1,000 people and grew slowly through the 20th century. In 1960, the population reached 1,184, and increased to 3,499 by 1980 as a result of the growth of Dallas, Plano and Fort Worth. By 2000 there were 33,714 people, and since the turn of the century the number of people living in the city of Frisco has more than doubled to over 95,000. This phenomenal growth is expected to continue and projections are for 140,000 people by the year 2010. www.ci.frisco.tx.us
Capital, Austin.
Largest cities, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.
Nickname, Lone Star State.
Motto, Friendship.
State flower, bluebonnet.
State tree, pecan.
Texas State Pledge of Alligence, "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."
Supported by a strong economy and steady employment growth, Texans truly know how to live it up "big." Texas has an excellent overall cost of living and is the fourth most affordable state in the country. Statewide, the cost of living is about 12% the national average with a median home price of $136,500 and an average price of near $174,000. Affordable price tags on homes and a strong job market have helped the housing market in this area remain strong despite sagging sales in other parts of the country. This same trend of affordable living and hot real estate markets can be seen across the state of Texas, from its big cities to its rural towns.
ALLEN TEXAS HOMES & ALLEN TEXAS REAL ESTATE
More than 60,000 people reside in Allen, one of the fastest growing communities north of Dallas. Allen was founded by a purchasing agent of the Houston and Texas Central Railway in 1870. The town's early growth was due in large part to the arrival of the railroad and was later enhanced by the expansion of nearby communities. Located in southwestern Collin County, Allen is just south of the Oklahoma border. Residents enjoy fishing at nearby lakes such as Lavon Lake and Lake Lewisville. Real estate offerings consist primarily of single-family homes, though some condominiums and townhouses can also be found. Allen's convenient location, numerous recreational possibilities and lovely homes continue to draw new residents of all ages. www.cityofallen.org
PROSPER TEXAS HOMES & PROSPER TEXAS REAL ESTATE
The Town of Prosper was incorporated in 1914 with a commission form of government and a population of 500. U.N. Clary was Mayor and served in that position for the next 49 years.From the mule drawn wagon and horse drawn buggy, the automobile evolved. Thus began the evolution of people moving in and out of the rural community. Surviving the war and the depression, the mechanization of farming provided the next big impact on Prosper's population.In 1980, the introduction of light industry, combined with the growth of the Metroplex, led to a comeback for Prosper. Today Prosper is the home to more than 100 businesses and hundreds of new families. www.prospertx.gov
