What is a FICO Scores? The Fair Isaac Corporation, known as FICO, created the first credit scoring system in 1958, for American Investments, and the first credit scoring system for a bank credit card in 1970, for American Bank and Trust. Because a score does not consider race, sex or ethnicity, it is generally considered to be the most fair and objective underwriting tool available to lenders. The Federal Reserve Board did a study that noted scores have increased the availability of credit and reduced the cost of credit.  Scores have also proven to be very predictive in assessing risk management for the lenders! FICO was founded in 1956 as Fair Isaac by engineer Bill Fair and mathematician Earl Isaac, provides consulting services and enterprise decision management systems. They develope... 06/08/2010

Lucky to Live in Piney Creek Isn’t spring wonderful? It’s truly refreshing to emerge from a long winter to see a green lawn, have outdoor family time, and to visit with neighbors who we haven’t seen in months. We are simply enjoying the things that attracted us to Piney Creek in the first place. As we drive in and out of our neighborhood every day, it’s easy to take our great community for granted. As real estate agents, we are constantly driving our buyers throughout the Denver area, and we are constantly reminded that Piney Creek fares very well compared to other communities. It has very special amenities that set it apart from other areas, including great schools. Very few communities have an elementary, a middle school and a high school all clustered within a half square mile. This ... 05/12/2010

I am sorry that I yelled at you, that explains why you were cold all day to me, I just thought it was the usual Family get-together stress factor. Still a little fuzzy I asked "Exactly how did I yell at you and what did I say,obviously I was caught up in all the M... 05/10/2010
