Real Estate eNews & Updates

September 2010

Greetings!

"With Habitat we build more than just houses. We build families, community, and hope." -President Jimmy Carter

Melinda Flynn's Real Estate Team is doing some major construction this month! We are getting down and dirty helping Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles at the Imperial Highway Build in Lynwood next Wednesday, September 22.
 
Hosted by the Peninsula Association of REALTORS® Young Professional's Network (YPN), volunteers are asked to raise money in order to participate. We're looking to raise $200, and we would love for you to help us meet our goal! Any amount is greatly appreciated. You can go online to to Melinda Flynn's Real Estate Team Habitat for Humanity Donations and donate any amount.
 


 
I'm not a "get dirty" kind of gal, I'll probably bring some gloves just in case--who knows, it might be entertaining. Lindsay & I will be tweeting as we go, so if you want to know, be sure to follow us on Twitter: 
 Follow melindaflynn on Twitter.
 
(Note while we're out of the office: If you're a client looking for a home, selling a home, or currently in escrow, don't panic while Lindsay & I are out--we've got you covered. We never go anywhere without being armed, and if you need to see a house or something urgent, just call Billy or Brenda for real estate needs.)
 
As always, if you need any real estate advice or if you're wondering your homes' worth in this market, give us a call!
 
  Sincerely,

In the Mail: "Home Trends Reflect Shift in Values"

Mail box

This month's Item of Value* is about "Home Trends Reflect Shift in Values". Nationwide surveys show that many homeowners now want fully functional residential spaces that are thoughtfully designed to match their lifestyle and that cost less to maintain over time. Here's another Home Trends flyer: Embracing the 'Outdoor Room' 
 
Sneak peak at next month's Item of Value: "What Is Your Plan? Protect the Future For the Ones You Love." Avoiding important estate planning decisions could eventually mean that someone else has to make them for you. Be watching your mail in the next couple of weeks for it.
