While I consider myself one to be realistic and concerned about problems in our country, Heath Insurance just slammed me in the face.  For my wife and I and 2 children, we pay a monthly premium of $490.00 for an HMO program.  We're young, healthy, non-smoking adults.  Just yesterday, I received a...

2 weeks ago I was sitting in the doctor's office waiting for the doctor when my phone rang.  Of course, trying to carefully obey the posted signs reading, "Turn off all Phones" I didn't pick up...but I recognized the number.  It was coming from our local association office and it was the one call...

That's right, if your from Philadelphia or are a Philly sports fan then you know what I'm talking about.  Philly Fans have been looking for a win for quite a few years and boy are we pesomistic at times.  Now, just 2.5 innings away from a World Series Championship its looking like we might get wh...

A great question as these boundaries seem to change all the time in Haverford Township.  Here's a link to the registration page of Haverford Township Schools.  Even with this map, I'd recommend calling and confirming as to whether specific addresses attend a particular elementary school.  Boundar...

Two years ago I was feeling a need for balance in my life as work seemed like it was taking over my life.  Wanting to give back in some way to my community, I reached out to Junior Acheivement to see if I could help facilitate business learning to my local high school, Haverford High.  Luckily th...

Maybe its just me, but the more I discover about real estate on the internet, the more I realize how important it is to explore what's out there.  For agents less familiar with what the internet can offer to our business, I try to compare it to the town you live in.  If you sit at home, never get...
