A class action lawsuit enables Florida residents to a free plumbing replacement if they have leaking PB pipe.
PB pipe (polybutylene) was used during the 1980s and early 1990s in home construction. Leaks found by January 31, 2009 qualify and residents have until May 1, 2009 to file a claim.
Homeowners with PB pipe can call CPRC at 1-800-392-7591 or visit www.pbpipe.com for information about filing a claim and to access claim forms.

Were you satisfied the last time you bought a house?
Customer service is about making sure the customer is treated the way that they wish to be treated. When buying a house it is important to us that the customer is satisfied with the service we have provided. We strive to make sure the customer:
- Has been adequately qualified to reduce the disappointment of not obtaining a loan.
- Has seen the best selection of homes matching the customers criteria including price and features.
- Was kept informed every step of the way during the transaction.
- We make sure our selling customers understand the direction of the market as it relates to their home.
- Has received feedback from agents and buyers who have showed their home.
- We are available when they are ready to view homes or list their home or request an open house.
Customer service is why we feel we continue to be successful in Florida selling real estate. If you were not satisfied the last time you bought a house, contact me and I will strive to provide you the customer service you desire.

Is your real estate agent showing you all the wrong homes?
Are you getting frustrated with your real estate agent and your your home search? Are you viewing all the wrong homes? Does it seem like the agent is not pre-qualifying the homes they are showing you? Have they ignored your instructions and specified criteria including those that deal with the size of the home, the price of the home, the age of the home or the construction of the home?
Sometimes it may seem your agent is more interested in showing you only the homes they or their company have listed with little regard to what you want. In some cases the agent may refuse to show you bank owned or short sale homes simply because the agent does not enjoy working with those types of transactions, even though some of those home might be just right for you.
Don't view another wrong home! Make sure your agent understands that you expect them to pre-qualify the homes they intend to show you making sure they match your interests.
Provide me with your specific home criteria and the features you desire and I will show you the right homes until you find one you wish to buy. Contact me today!

Ask your real estate agent for references
Having a real estate agent assist you with buying or selling a home is a sound decision. You can increase the soundness of your decision by asking the agents you are interviewing to provide you with a list of references from past customers. The questions you may want to ask of the references provided include:
- How would you rate your overall house buying/selling experience?
- Did your agent make sure you understood and were comfortable with the process?
- Was the agent easy to contact during the transaction?
- Did they adequately explain the paperwork and contracts?
- Were they courteous and professional throughout?
- Would you recommend them to your family or friends?
If the real estate agent you are considering using cannot provide references upon request you should be cautious in selecting them to help you with one of the largest financial investments you will make in your lifetime.
If you are interested in purchasing a home, contact me. References are available.
