Want New Windows or Doors?

"Delivering Excellence"

March/April 2011

Greetings!

If you plan to put your house on the market this spring, have you done everything you can to make sure it's in top condition? Read on for a few tips about why this may be the year to replace old doors and windows - even if you're not planning on selling yet.

I held my first Home Buyers' Workshop on March 24 and the second one on April 9. I now have a landing page dedicated just to this free workshop, which will run several times a year. Please spread the word to anyone you know who may be considering buying. Further details are below.

Feel free to forward any of these e-newsletters to a friend, colleague, or family member.

As always, be sure to check out my other informational resources on my blog, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website.

Why Now May Be the Best Time Ever to Replace Windows and Doors

Does your home have older windows or exterior doors that are not energy efficient by current standards? Maybe they are in poor shape, won't operate correctly, or you consider them an eyesore. If you have been thinking about installing new ones, here's why it might be a good idea to address the situation soon.

Today's low interest rates mean it could cost less to finance a project or borrow against your home equity. Many equity lines of credit are still charging their floor rates.(2)

Low Prices

The federal government is offering a tax credit if you have not already taken one in a prior year. Some local governments and utilities also offer rebates or special incentives; ask your window dealer whether there are programs available in your area.

Tax Credit

Call your trusted real estate professional if you'd like to know whether new windows or doors would increase your home's resale value or if you would like a referral to a reputable window replacement company.

Tapping Into Our Local Talent

As you most likely know by now, I've launched a video series called "Tapping Into Our Local Talent" in which I interview local experts. (I recently filmed the second round of interviews, which will be featured in coming months.)

But for now, here is the third video spotlighting business coach Jennifer Kauffman of The Results Group. Click on the video below to watch her interview.

Tapping Into Our Local Talent: Jennifer Kauffman

As I've mentioned before, my goal through this video project is to let the public know about available options and to help business experts I trust to grow their businesses.

If you know of someone who could benefit from the knowledge or services of one of the local experts interviewed, please forward the video links to them. The videos are also posted on my blog, Facebook page, and YouTube Channel. Tune in regularly to see our latest episode.
