  DO YOU KNOW #77? If you don't,please read this. This is a good reason why we should always read our
  e-mails that people send to us. Somebody sent me this e-mail today. I definitely didn't know about this. I am sure some of
  you here don't know or know somebody who doesn't know about this. Reading this e-mail I truly believe can help save  
  somebody life. Please read this.                                                                                                                                        

                                                                      
                                                                               
  YOU MUST KNOW #77
 
I knew about the red light on cars,but not the #77. It was about 1:00 PM in the afternoon, and a gal was driving to visit
a friend when an UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. She has always been taught to never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.
 
 
So the young lady promptly called #77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her.....  The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
 
 
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked carbehind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the #77 Cell Phone Feature,but especially for a woman alone in a car,you should not pull over for an unmarked car.  Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them, i..e.. put on your hazard lights & call #77. Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of wonderful information.
 
 
  Snopes confirmed that #77 was a direct link to State trooper info.in all 50 states. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know
  about #77. Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.

THE REAL ESTATE FARMER-I've done real estate before I became a Real Estate Agent

   THE REAL ESTATE FARMER-I've done real estate before I became a Real Estate Agent. Yesterday I wrote a blog called

  THE REAL ESTATE FARMER-Where did the name come from?. I won't talk about it,I'll let you read it yourself. But while writing the blog,I realized something. In a way I have done real estate before I became a Real Estate Agent. While working on my father's farm,me along with a couple of my cousins would go to the lake and go fetch water. The water would be used to mix the dirt that will make the bricks to built the small houses. The houses would be where we would stay to either first eat breakfast before we began working on the farm,lunch/break(Some of my brothers and family members slept on the farm once)and to stay in case in started raining.

I guess my old man said why pay somebody to do something when you could do it yourself? We built I believe two small houses by ourselves.  They will make bricks and let them dry for about two days or so. Then they we will start building the house. We even built a poultry for my father's 40 pigs. It might have been more. That was pretty impressive considering none of us had knowledge,skills or experience in building homes.

Maybe I should become a home builder. I hear those guys make some really good money. But on second thought,I should stick to my day job and help the home builders sell their PG County MD New Construction Homes. So if you are looking to buy a new construction home in Prince George's County MD,Charles County MD,St.Mary's Country,Baltimore County MD,Montgomery County MD or Washington DC,please give me a call. I don't help build houses anymore,I am trying to help home builders sell them.

Prince George's County Maryland Real Estate Market Report for June 2010

    Prince George's County Maryland Real Estate Market Report for June 2010. People are buying and selling homes for sale in Prince George's County MD. Anybody who is talking NOT THINKING-(There is a difference)about buying or selling a house should always review Real Estate Market Reports in your area of interest.

    Local PG County MD Real Estate Market Reports is a good barometer to aid you in making your home buying or selling decision. Just like Investors and Foreign Investors study the NASDAQ,AMEX,NIKKEI 225 (Japenese Stock Market) and S&P500 charts to determine whether they should buy,sell or hold a stock,the same applies to the Real Estate Market. This is a great time to buy a house in PG County MD.

   In June 2010,867 homes for sale in Prince George's County MD SOLD compared to 536 homes that were sold in June 2009. That is a 61.75% increase. Out of the 867 homes for sale that sold in June 2010,161 of them were Cash. That is 18.5%. Average days of a house on the market in PG County MD now is 91 days. Last year the average days on the market was 137 days. There are a lot of Prince George's County MD Cash home buyers and investors who are looking for houses to buy in Prince George's County MD 

That is good in this Real Estate Market. Some of the things I think may have contributed to the 867 PG County MD SOLD Homes in June 2010 can be                                               

  • Home buyer's tax credit-People didn't want to miss out on a chance to earn the $8,000 home buyer tax credit so like many people when they want something,they did what they had to do to get and weren't dragging their feet unlike some home buyers who are still sitting on the fence and waiting until they will be able to buy a house for nothing. Just because most of the inventory on the market IN PG County MD are Short Sales and Foreclosures doesn't mean that homeowners are giving away their houses.
  • Income tax credit-Some people like to invest their money wisely on a reasonable sound investment instead of an outfit you probably won't be able to fit into two months from now. (NOTE: If anyone is offended,I APOLOGIZE. Please forgive me. My intent wasn't to offend anyone but no that an great investment like a real estate property will only appreciate in value in due time.)
  • Selling months-June,July and August  are three of the busiest home selling months in the year. A lot of things are happening during this time that may make someone want to sell their house: Ex:Military family relocating to another duty station,kids going to another high school,kids going off to college,someone getting another job in another city.

  

Also home buyers who are talking about buying a house now can get a  home buyer grant for up to $7,500.
