Dawn Maloney, CDRS Elite

With Spring bursting upon us, I thought you might like to know about the parks in Hudson Ohio...

Today I bring you Colony Park, in the south end of town. It is located east of Route 91, otherwise known as Main Street.

Colony Park is located in an established neighborhood in Hudson, Ohio. It features a walking trail with fenced bridge over train tracks, playground with swings, ballfield, picnic pavilion, large field for flying kites or playing football, basketball hoops...as well as birdwatching and nature viewing opportunities.

It is part of over 1100 acres and more than 20 parks in Hudson, offering the chance to recharge and unwind, very close to home.

It's a pleasure to have so many parks available!

Your Referrals Are Treated With Skilled Care & Appreciation!

Do you feel like you're my one and only?

I love to hear a client say, "I'm sure you have other clients."

Why do they say that?

It means they feel as if they are my one and only client.

It means they feel known, valuable and appreciated.

It means they are impressed because:

• Their calls are answered or returned promptly
• I know their name when I answer their call
• I'm glad they called - my tone is sincere, whether cheerful or empathetic
• I pay attention to what they want
• I  know what is going on with their transaction and keep them updated
• I personally handle their transaction, not an assistant
• I remember and ask about job interviews, headaches, sick children, etc.
• I want to help them be successful - I don't talk about how busy/successful I am
• I take ownership of problems and tell the truth promptly, acknowledging mistakes & missteps

You can't fake it. People can sense the level of interest, truth and care invested in them. The practice of being truly interested in a client's well-being is a business practice that is rooted in being a person of character who cares about a client's best interest.

When I'm causing a client to feel like they are my only client, I'm doing it right!

I have exciting news!

If you would like to see all three of your credit scores, you will want to do so quickly - they may not be available in the same model after Feb. 14 if an agreement is not reached by the three credit reporting agencies: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax.

According to this report, beginning in April:

• Equifax will be providing scores to businesses based on the new model;
• TransUnion will provide scores based on the current model;
• Experian scores won't be available to consumers unless they actually make application for financing and PAY for their lender to access the Experian score.

Now as much as I detest the entire credit reporting set-up, it is a fact of life that we have to deal with.

If you plan to buy a home, you need to know your scores.

Stay in Your Home!

Based on her knowledge of property law, and the realization that almost all homeowners do not have legal representation, Congresswoman Kaptur suggests those in foreclosure stay in their homes.

If you are facing foreclosure, don't just accept what the paperwork says. You can fight foreclosure, even if you have lost your job. Please contact your local bar association found in the yellow pages and get legal aid.

Congresswoman Kaptur says the banks are like vultures...they have received bailout money, but she points out homeowners are not getting help.

If you are in foreclosure, do not give up and do not move yet - get legal help now!
