Be very glad that you live in the USA where people have freedom of speech and the ability to express themselves on a blog. Elsewhere around the world bloggers are being arrested for abusing this priviledge. Read the article at:

 Its sounds like if you express yourself in a blog you are instantly publishing it on the world wide web for thousands if not millions of eyes to see and read, so take responsibility because you may be opening possibilities of liability.

Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

Can you believe that the GOP Republicans have blocked increasing taxes on Big Oil companies profits that have been made over the last couple of months. It was a democratic proposal that was to seek a 25% increase in taxes on "unreasonable profits" of the five largest oil companies that have made $36 BILLION dollars during the first three months of this year.  Our economy is in a recession and Americans are losing their homes.  And the Republicans want to stay in the White House? Washington is broke and it needs new faces who are leaders!

National Home Ownership Month

05-29-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

The Mass Association of Realtors MAR and Mass Housing have partnered together to present "Opportunities Knock: Community Homebuyer Fairs and Open Houses Statewide" on the weekend of May 31 & June 1 to start off National Home Ownership Month. The purpose of the event is to get more people into the market by promoting homes for sale that are affordable to low and moderate income first-time homebuyers who are eligible for MassHousing financing. And who better at making this happen for them than Realtors?

This is an excellent opportunity for Realtors and first-time homebuyers not only to promote the idea that now is a very good time to buy in Massachusetts but also to help low and moderate income first-time homebuyers experience the "American Dream" of home ownership. The purchase price limits are different for all Counties and towns and would surprise most people as to their height of limits. On Cape Cod on Saturday May 31 at the Cape Codder in Hyannis from 9 am to 1pm buyers will be able to meet Realtors, Lenders and Homebuyer counselors. Tour of Open Houses will be that Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4pm. My listing at 15 Maravista Ave, East Falmouth, asking price of $260K will be on the tour and Open Houses on Saturday and Sunday will be held there from 1 to 4 pm! Hope to See you There!

Gas saving practices- myths or reality?

05-22-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

Today I just read an online news article about saving gas. It references to earlier information and info posted here on AR sometime ago, saying that a lot of the advice given in that AR post wouldnt help and may even hurt.

 

Here's the article at http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/105077/6-Gas-Saving-Myths

 

Of course you should perform regular oil changes, and keep your tire pressure at acceptable levels for better and optimum level of gas usage. You should of course either brake or accerelate at acceptable levels so not to waste gas. My car has a manual transmission which Ive always thought was better for gas usage. With gas going to $4 per gallon, realtors, consumers and the general public have to conserve.

Tax Rebate check?

05-16-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

Has anyone actually gotten their Tax Rebate check or deposit yet? or have you gotten someone else's check or deposit? I know I paid my taxes and I got a letter from the IRS saying that if I paid my taxes I should be getting a rebate before June 08. How much depending upon if I am single, married and with dependents? Now I read that the IRS has directly deposited funds into the wrong accounts? how is this possible?

If you used a direct deposit to pay your taxes then you should have gotten your tax rebate directly back into the same account right? Well Im waiting for my check. Today is the 16th of May. I read on the IRS.GOV website that it should have been mailed today, May 16th because of my social security number. Is our government so big and or inept that they cant handle their paying customers- the American Public?! maybe the government should be run more like a business?
