How To Make Moving Efficient And Easier On Everyone

Poll the average person and ask them what they think of having to move to a new residence and the answer won’t be all peaches and sunshine. It’s certain that almost can agree that having to move can be a time-consuming necessity, but nonetheless it’s a necessity. Settling on a new place can be a chore in and of itself, and having to plan, pack and unpack is on deck.

And procrastinating won’t get you any further, either. In fact, having a plan in place and the motivation to see through it is what separates an easy move from a loathsome one. With that said, below are a few basic tips to making the most from your move.

The Plan Before The Plan

Right off the bat, you must decide if you have the time and energy to do the move yourself or if you should hire a professional to do the task instead. There’s probably an abundance of moving companies around your area, but if you have some spacious trucks and a few helping hands to do if for you, that’s another option. Just make sure you’ve got this one decided before doing anything else.

Lists, Lists And More Lists!

Grab the nearest legal pad and start surveying your possessions. Make a note of every one, from the most fragile to the sturdiest. What this does is allow you to see just how much clutter you have in your home and you’ll know whether or not a garage sale is in order, or better yet, you can donate them to local charities.

Real Estate 360 Live With Louis Cammarosano 7/16/12

On Monday July 16, 2012, Louis Cammarosano, General Manager of HomeGain, was a guest on the Real Estate 360 Live radio show on The Big Talker 1580 WHFS AM, hosted by Ryan Sloper.

Listen to the show.

Part 1 (14:50)

Louis and Ryan speculate whether the Fed will institute another round of quantitative easing. Ryan notes that there is not much more the Fed can do to stimulate spending. Louis argues that encouraging consumption is not the answer but rather savings that can be invested in productive endeavors. Louis predicts that the Fed will not institute QE3 until after the election.

Louis notes that encouraging people to go back to school and take out more debt is not a good idea, but that helps the banks as the loans are guaranteed by the government. Louis questions whether there is a demand for more educated workers and argues for higher interest rates. Louis notes that the sovereigns do not want higher rates as it increases their debt service payments.

Louis notes that the low interest rates cause over investment in the stock market. Louis and Ryan discuss the Facebook valuation. Louis and Ryan discuss how competition weeds out even the strongest companies over time.

Ryan and Louis talk about how homebuyers can benefit from low mortgage interest rates. Louis notes that mainstream media is mostly national and not local. In light of this Louis recommends speaking with a local REALTOR or mortgage professional to get accurate local information.
