Fall Back or Spring Forward November 2, 2008

Daylight Saving Time – November 2, 2008 Set Your Clocks Back Saturday November 1st Before Bedtime.
Fall Back from Daylight Saving Time on Sunday November 2, 2008. 
After the sugar highs of Halloween, you like me, may be in high gear Saturday, November 1st and forget to turn your clock back one hour.
If you do forget, you might even show up for Church an hour early. Which is only slightly less embarrassing than if you forget in the Spring and walk in when everyone else is leaving.
“Fall Back, Spring Forward ”
“i before e, except after c”, and if you’re musical, “EGBDF, every good boy does fine” and “face” (the lines and spaces of the Treble Clef), or to loosen or tighten screws, “lefty loosey, righty tighty” are some of the ways we jog our memory into action with these mnemonics.
Mnemonic Devices.
If you like fun words, that’s what these are called. Mnemonics are supposed to make things easier to remember, but the word mnemonics is not easy to remember. When I can remember the word, I can’t remember how to spell it. Read the rest of this entry »

Clays Bakery Berwyn – Yummy Local Places
October 24th, 2008 categories: A Realtors Life, Fun Things To Do, Lifestyle
Clays Creative Corner Bakery in Berwyn – A Yummy Local Place
“Now, there’s Clays Creative Corner Bakery. When you want a great cake for a holiday celebration, 
wedding, party, or “just because”, you MUST go to Clay’s”. That’s what I tell my Relocation Buyers.
Realtors are like everyone else. We all have our favorite business places. You know, the place where you can depend on great service and good stuff. What’s different about Realtors is that it’s part of our job to know a little something about some of the Yummy Local Places. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
In the spirit of doing my Yummy Local Places research, I stopped in to visit Denise at Clays Bakery, named for Denise’s Father, Clayton, who was a Tredyffrin Police Officer. Denise, her Mother and husband, Bill founded Clays’ 18 years ago. Hard work built a successful business. It’s not unusual for them to be in the shop in the wee hours of the morning April to June, the peak celebration months. Read the rest of this entry »

Podcasting My First 24 Hours
October 21st, 2008 categories: A Realtors Life
Until recently I always thought about a Blog or a Website as informative, pleasure reading. I’ve been a voracious reader all my life. Words on the page, a good story, are magical to me. Can’t throw a book away. I catch up on my reading with my morning and evening coffee as you probably do.
Books were the treasures of my childhood as my Mother and Grandmother read Peter Pan and even Shakespeare to me. I devoured books when I learned to read, spending many Summers hangin out at the Library. Even loved to read the Encyclopedia which makes me kinda geeky I guess.
Like almost everyone, I have an iPod. One of the first ones, a gift from one of my children. To me listening means music. I love to listen to and play a little music. It’s a joy!
The word, Podcasting is called a “portmanteau”, a word that blends two functions, iPod and broadcast. Read about the growth and history of podcasting in Wikipedia. It’s a fascinating story from only 526 entries Read the rest of this entry »

Blog Action Day-Survive To Five-Save The Children
October 15th, 2008 categories: A Realtors Life, Fun Things To Do, Lifestyle
It was Winston Churchill who said, “You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give”.
Today is World Wide Blog Action Day and the topic is Poverty. This is a “me too” blog post day in the hope that we can generate one or thousands of “me too” actions to help alleviate poverty in our own country and internationally. I was reminded by Brian Clark over at Copyblogger. His eloquent post is inspiring. Brian writes the way we all wish we could. If you have a Blog, you’ve heard of Brian Clark.
Donate to Save The Children, where an admirable 90% of your donation will go out the door to help real children. Save The Children, Winston Churchill and a love of good writing appear to be what Brian and I have in common. How about you?
Survive To Five – Knit An Infant Cap
Save The Children – Survive To Five – Knit One To Save One There are several Infant Cap Designs for the novice and experienced Knit or Crochet crafter. Many of my friends like to knit and crochet. Use your talent to help an infant survive through a program sponsored by Save The Children called Survive To Five-Knit One To Save One. There are pdf and word format patterns here for knitting an infant cap to send to Save The Children and instructions for hosting local events.
Send me your pictures of infant caps you donate and I’ll post them here.
Update 12/23/08 – With gratitude to Lynn Anne and Pia and other caring knitters, who made it possible for us to send 14 Infant Hats to Save The Children “Knit One Save One”. These hats and letters will be presented to President Barack Obama, January 2009 on behalf of the millions of at risk infants around the world. Sponsored by The Warm Up America Foundation.
Grace and Peace, Judy

Does Your Elephant Have A Name?
October 10th, 2008 categories: A Realtors Life
You know it. You’ve been there. It’s the elephant in the room. Something you’d rather not know. It nags around the edges. Oh, there’s an elephant in the room! It’s the moment in time when everything changes.
Writers write about what they know. But sometimes the elephant in the room steals the paper and pencil and the words get stuck.
This is a blog about real estate, my community, my neighborhood and helping people realize their home ownership dreams. I take no small amount of pride in what I do. I love to share what I know. The hope is that I can help someone who needs it. Some people say that I’m a really good Realtor. I try to be a really good person. Mostly I succeed.
Like most of you, I’m not a financial expert. I’m still struggling to understand who, what, when and how? The answers I don’t have are the same ones you don’t have.
I keep thinking about a time when it seemed like the grownups knew what they were doing, then I remember that I am one: Read the rest of this entry »

How Much Did The House Sell For? Is The Deed Done?

How Much Did The House Sell For? Is it a done deal?
Simple Real Estate Question? ~ Complex Answer
The Question of How much did that house sell for, is a question that I get asked frequently. The answer to this question is really critical information for both potential Sellers and Buyers. Generally, the person asking the question is not asking for an in-depth Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Read the rest of this entry »

Judy Peterson-How Long Has This House Been On The Market?

Days On Market (DOM)-The “Property Marketing Period” (PMP) ~ A Realtors® Tale of Two Hats!
How long has this house been on the market?
The answer to this question now has two parts, the DOM and the “PMP” “Property Marketing Period”. As a Realtor®, I often wear two hats. I wear a Sellers Agent Hat and a Buyers Agent Hat for my Main Line Chester County clients. Meaning I represent Sellers in Listing their property or I represent Buyers in purchasing, as an Accredited Buyers Agent. Buyers and Sellers generally look at the question of Days On The Market differently.
Our Multiple Listing Service for the Tri-County Delaware Valley area has instituted a new Property Marketing Period (PMP) in order to show the true Days On The Market. Read the rest of this entry »

Judy Peterson Realtor – Is that really you?
August 19th, 2008 categories: A Realtors Life, Home Buyers
Is That Really You? Are You Really Judy Peterson, the Realtor®?
Recently, I received two calls that started out with, the question, Is that really you? The first one came late in the day while I was preparing for a Sunday Open House for one of my listings.
“Is that you?”
Yes, it’s me! How can I help you?
“Is that really you?” “Are You really Judy Peterson the Real Estate Agent? I’m on your website right now. It’s very good”.
Yes, It’s really me. That’s great! What can I do for you.
“You answer your own phone?” Yes, I sure do. Are you a team? I have a “Prudential Team” Read the rest of this entry »
