Jon & Kate Plus 8 Moving?

Watched TV recently or read a magazine? Then no surprise here! Monday, June 22, 2009 legal papers were filed in Pennsylvania to begin the divorce process for Jon and Kate Gosselin of the documentary/reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 which airs on TLC. The show chronicles the lives of their family who consist of Jon, Kate, and their children (twins and sextuplets). The Gosselins' $1.1 million, 6,000 square foot home features 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, and almost 24 acres. Recently, Jon and Kate have been hounded by the press with affair and separation rumors with paparazzi at the home's front gate. They both stated they are focused on their children and making the divorce a positive change.

Unlike many who experience divorce, the family will not be moving. Significant life changes do usually result in relocation, making Realtors' jobs very complex. Residential Relocation Specialists(RRS) are Realtors who are certified to handle moves due to life changes such as divorce, retirement, job gain/loss, etc. A Realtor with a RRS certification is especially skilled in handling all the details for their clients, like familiarizing the clients with the new area, moving a vehicle, and connecting the utilities. Ultimately, drastic life changes can be very stressful, but working with a RRS can make the move much easier and give peace of mind.

Little Known Fact About Dayton

Everyone knows Dayton, Ohio is nicknamed the "Birthplace of Aviation" due to being the Wright brothers hometown, but it is also nicknamed the Gem City. Why? There are 2 schools of thought on the topic. The nickname Gem City either came from a popular race horse named Gem whose hometown was Dayton OR because the city can be compared to a gem. Cincinnati is known as the Queen City, and Dayton to the north would be the gem on the queen's crown. In a 1845 article in the Cincinnati Daily Chronicle newspaper, an author wrote that "In a small bend of the Great Miami River, with canals on the east and south, it can be fairly said, without infringing on the rights of others, that Dayton is the gem of all our interior towns. It possesses wealth, refinement, enterprise, and a beautiful country, beautifully developed." The author makes this Dayton-ian proud to be a resident of the Gem City! Dayton Ohio Gem City

Asbestos and Green Alternatives

Located in the Midwestern part of the United States, Ohio is known as the “Buckeye” state for its high prevalence of Buckeye trees and hosting Ohio State University. In the Ohio real estate market, there are many things to consider. The path to owning a home is a rewarding accomplishment that will require many new responsibilities. Having the assistance of a reliable and experience real estate agent can make all the difference. Homes that are newly purchased may require additional remodeling or repairs. Many things can go unnoticed, such as obsolete building materials that may be present. Highly regarded throughout the 20th century, asbestos was the ideal building material for many industries. Often appearing in roof shingles, popcorn ceilings, piping and insulation, asbestos became one of the most popular building applications of the 20th century. Potential Ohio homebuyers should be aware homes built prior to 1980 may still contain asbestos. However, don’t jump out of your chair! Exposure to asbestos is easily avoidable by taking simple precautions. Green sustainable methods of insulation are now available and provide a healthy and efficient substitute for asbestos. Building green with proper insulation will save you on bills. For example, the use of cotton fiber foam, lcynene and cellulose has demonstrated to reduce energy costs by 25 % per year. As education and technology of green sustainable practices increase, the numbers will continue to rise. There is no need for any products used in construction to be made from asbestos; yet over 3,000 work and home-based materials still contain this toxin.
