The Art Thief
In Paris, an art thief almost got away
with stealing several paintings from the
Louvre. He had carefully planned the
crime, managed to get in and out past
the security guards and then was
captured a few blocks away when his
van ran out of gas.
He was asked how he could make such
an obvious error. He answered, “I had
no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van
Gogh.”
Feed Cornmeal To Ants
Try this poison-free method of getting
rid of ants. Place uncooked cornmeal or
Cream of Wheat on the ant pile. The
ants will eat it because it tastes good.
Their bellies will expand and it will kill
them. You’re saving a call to the
exterminator and using a safer method.

Real Estate Corner…
Q. If I get multiple offers on my house, how do I decide which offer to
accept
?
A.
Multiple offers are a good thing. Still you can make a mistake if you don’t
look at more than just the sales price being offered. Carefully weigh each
buyer’s offer by considering these factors:
Is the buyer pre-approved?
Never take your home off the market
without knowing that the buyer is able to purchase your home.
When do they want possession?
When the buyer’s timing fits your
preferences, it can make their offer more appealing.
What repairs does the buyer expect before closing?
Even if you are
willing to make repairs, think about the time it will take before you accept.
What items does the buyer expect to remain in the house?
Buyers may
request to keep appliances or wall-mounted televisions. Factor the cost of
replacing these in your next home into the offer before accepting.
It is important to know all the facts before you respond to any offers. Ask for
my Free Consumer Report called
“How to Avoid 7 Costly Mistakes When
Selling Your Home”
to be informed and net more from your home sale.
