Moving and want to donate?

Go to charitynavigator.org to search for charities in your area and click on “tips” to find out how to donate noncash items. Check out easterseals.com and svdpusa.org to find out if these groups will pick up donated items. For computers, cell phones and other electronics, go to earth911.org, usedcomputer.com/nonprof.html and epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaster/recycle/ecycling/donate.htm. And local hospitals, homeless shelters, nursing homes and libraries generally are happy to accept books.

Want to buy a foreclosure?

Looks easy to buy a foreclosure or short sale home or at auction, doesn’t it? Be sure to call us before you make a decision so that we can walk you through the process. There are complications that aren’t so apparent when you spot a nice home at a good price that the owner must give back to the lender. The price may be right, but the home may not be!
