“Design can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods.”

– Genevieve Gorder

Dear Friend,

Not all remodels are created equal. You may already be familiar with Remodeling magazine’s popular Cost vs. Value report, which documents the average return on investment expected for specific improvement projects. But have you taken into account the latest design trends that will make your home more desirable and thus more valuable?

For example, many buyers are seeking homes with hardwood, composite or travertine tile flooring because they require less maintenance than carpet and give a home a beautiful and natural feel. Replacing carpeted areas with these contemporary flooring options can give your home a worthwhile face-lift.

This month’s Item of Value is dedicated to new design trends around the home. You will find innovative and affordable tips that can dramatically improve your home’s look and value, such as adding accent lighting and replacing outdated plumbing fixtures.

Specific ways you can stage your home successfully for an open house or merely to entertain friends and family are also included.

My hope is to keep you informed of the latest trends in home improvement and design.
Sincerely,

Gregg Maul

“Improve your business, your life, your relationships, your finances and your health. When you do the whole world improves.”

– Mark Victor Hansen

Dear Friend,

If you are getting ready to apply for a new loan, your credit score will play a significant role in determining whether you are approved and what your terms will be. If you don’t know what your credit score is or how the process works, I can provide some insight.

Your credit score is determined by several factors, including your payment history, number of open credit cards and even the amount of recent loan applications. There are also many ways to improve your credit score, such as routinely paying more than the minimum due on your credit cards or closing unused credit card accounts.

For this month’s Item of Value, you will find a crash course in credit scores. I’ve listed several tips to raise or maintain your credit score, as well as a worksheet to help keep your finances in order.

Making a concerted effort to improve your credit score will enable you to secure the best possible terms on a future mortgage, car loan or student loan, and I am here to help!

“Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.”

In this month’s Item of Value, I’ve examined the latest in smart home technology.

"The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses."

– Hanna Rion

Dear Friend,

It’s often said that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. However, if your home’s curb appeal leaves you wanting more, there are simple things you can do to give your residence an instant facelift.

Did you know that landscaping and curb appeal have an effect on the value of your home? In fact, according to the Council of Tree and Landscaping Appraisers, a mature tree can be worth up to $10,000. Even if you aren’t selling your home, a gorgeously landscaped and maintained yard can be a joy to come home to all year round.

For this month’s Item of Value, I’ve come up with tips to help you beautify your landscaping. You will find ways to design in small spaces, select the best plants for your yard, sustain a healthy lawn and even give the exterior of your home and hardscape an easy upgrade.

Your landscape is the first thing friends and guests will see, and I can help you wow them!

"Taxes, after all, are dues that we pay for the privileges of membership in an organized society"

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

Dear Friend,

When it comes to preparing your taxes, you can never allow yourself too much time. With so much to do, poor time management may result in an incorrect filing or perhaps overpayment or underpayment.

Organize everything that is needed for your tax preparation. You will need to gather all pertinent documents (including W-2s, 1090s and receipts), clear your schedule for several hours and secure an appointment in advance with a tax professional. If you plan on filing your taxes on your own, you’ll also want to allow time to consult with a tax adviser, if needed.

Having ample time to prepare your taxes may also allow you to discover additional deductions you never knew existed or that you qualified for. For this month’s Item of Value, I have examined a multitude of tax deductions that could benefit you this tax season. On the second page, I have also listed several ways to prevent your personal information from falling into the hands of identity thieves.

Tax season comes the same time each year, but it’s never too early to begin your preparation, and I’m here to help!

Dear Friend,

As you have no doubt noticed, nearly everyone has an opinion about the state of the real estate market. The most vocal opinions are being expressed on television, on the internet, in print media, and on the radio. the problem is, many of these opinions tell only one side of the story.

For example, lower home prices and large inventories make this an ideal market for first-time homebuyers, people looking to move up to a larger home, and real estate investors. In addition, 2008 was also one of the largest transactional years in history, a fact that is often neglected in the media.

In the first Item of Value of the new year, I have looked at the state to the real estate market. On the second page, I have included tips on selling your home faster, the best ways to invest in your home, and a look at the historic home values to prove that your home is the best long term investment.

I hope you had a great 2008, and I look forward to serving you in 2009!

Dear Friend,

Your home is your sanctuary. You depend on it to keep your loved ones safe, and it’s where you
keep your cherished possessions and valuables. With so much at stake, protecting your home
from intruders is of the utmost importance.

In the United States, a burglary occurs every eight seconds. Thieves average 8–12 minutes in your home, searching for valuable items like electronics, jewelry and hidden cash. Despite this, the vast majority of burglars are not professional thieves and can be thwarted with a few basic measures.

In this month’s Item of Value, I have listed several ways of warding off thieves. Steps as simple as lighting your home’s exterior and displaying a home alarm system sign—even if you don’t have a security system installed—will make your home unattractive to burglars, who are likely to move on to an easier target.

With a few easy steps, you can keep your home secure and your family safe, and I can help.

Dear Friend,

For most homeowners, each month means another mortgage payment. However, it may be
prudent to consider a slight alteration to the routine. By adding just one extra payment a year,
borrowers can cut thousands of dollars in interest and shave several years off the life of their loan.

Depending on your situation, paying your mortgage off early can reap tremendous benefits.
Whether it is paying more now to preserve your retirement funds or simply reducing the amount of interest you pay over time, there is likely a way for you to significantly benefit.

This month’s Item of Value discusses many of the options available for paying your mortgage off
early, as well as the advantages these choices create for you and your family. On the second page, you’ll discover several different ways you can fit an extra annual mortgage payment into your budget.

If it seems like your mortgage payments will never end, this is a way to shorten its life and save
some serious money in the process.

Dear Friend,

Is your home ready for a change? Even if you aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on a major
remodel, there are many options that will give your home an instant face lift and provide a great
return on your investment.

In this month’s Item of Value, you will find a sampling of the hottest new trends in home design
and remodeling. If you’re not ready for an extensive kitchen remodel (which can return nearly
100 percent of your investment), a new lighting system can go a long way toward giving a lackluster room a fresh new look by accenting interesting architectural elements for a modest amount
of money.

On the second page, I’ve included a list of the home improvement projects with the best returns on your investment. There are also several easy ideas for drastically improving your home’s interior and exterior for under $50. In addition, HomeAnnex has included a great offer at the bottom of the page to help your remodeling project and budget.

Dear Friend,

These days it can feel like there isn't enough money to go around. Parents must ask themselves whether they have saved enough for their children's college tuition or if they will have the funds availible to make their retirement comfortable.

Of course, these fears can be alleviated with proper planning. It's a fact, people are spending more than they make and failing to see the long-term benefit of saving. However, that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the many savings options availible to you.

This month's Item of Value will help you determine what investment choice is best for you. IRA's, 401(k)s, and participating life insurance policies are all great options for relizing long term capital growth. On the second page, I have included a six step process to maximize your budget spending and free up some more income for savings.

With so many great options for saving, it's no wonder that all the experts agree: growing your savings is the first step to financial freedom, and I can help!

Dear Friend,

One of the hottest trends in housing is creating a "green" home. In fact, in two places where Mother Nature has wiped the slate clean, green homes are all the rage. In the lower ninth ward of New Orleans, actor Brad Pitt has headed the creation and donation of 150 new environmentally friendly houses that will be 75% more energy efficient. In Kansas, after being completely destroyed by a tornado, the ironically named town of Greensburg will be rebuilt as the nations first green town.

Green homes save money by lowering energy bills and reducing a home's impact on the environment. What may be even more important, however, is the pride of ownership involved in owning a green home and the positive effect it has on the community and the world.

In this months Item of Value, I have created a guide to turning your home into a green machine. Low-flow plumbing fixtures and compact florescent light bulbs (CFL's) are great examples of easy changes that will benifit your pocketbook and the environment. You will find many more interesting tips like this as you read on.

Did you know that swapping out one traditional light bulb for a CFL will reduce carbon emissions by 150 pounds a year? Doing your part for the environment is now as easy as changing a light bulb!

Dear Friend,

It is never too soon to start thinking about the upcoming tax deadline. In fact, the sooner you make your tax preparation plans, the better organized you will be and the more likely you are to prevent any mistakes or costly accidental omissions.

Every year, many of us struggle to select the best method of preparing and filing our tax returns. Preparing them yourself can save you money in the short-term but could also reduce your return or, worse yet, increase your amount owed. Conversely, seeking out the advice of a tax professional will result in an upfront fee, but you can likely recover this cost with additional deductions.

This month, I have tried to make this decision easier for you. On the Item of Value in the link below, you will find the advantages of each tax preparation method, along with some interesting information about tax trends. On the second page, you will find a handy guide to tax organization and explanations of common tax lingo.

Tax season comes the same time every year, but preparing your files early makes the process easier. I’m here to help!

Dear Friend,

Did you know that 2007 was actually the fifth highest year for home sales in history? Take a closer look at the numbers and you will discover that the state of the real estate market may not be everything the media leads you to believe. Sometimes we all need a little historical perspective to see the big picture clearly.

Fortunately, I did all of the research and analysis for you already. This month’s Item of Value includes a variety of interesting and informative statistics that illustrate why last year was a good year overall for home sales. With mortgage rates historically low and new, innovative mortgage programs being unveiled, there is even greater promise for home sales in 2008.

Below you will find a noteworthy study on the rising trend of vacation home sales. Nearly one-third of vacation homes are being purchased with the intent of becoming a full-time residence upon the buyer’s retirement. With today’s mortgage rates, renting options and family gathering advantages, buying a vacation home is a great option to consider.

With so much to take into account when you buy or sell a home, I am always available to help you sort out what is best for you.

Sincerely,

Dear Friend,

As leaves begin to change color, it signifies the coming of autumn, and with that, family gatherings and traditions. One of these time-honored traditions is giving thanks for everything you hold dear.

The famous philosopher Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” This time of the year is all about appreciating your many loved ones and countless blessings.

This month’s Item of Value (click link below) is focused on expressing gratitude. This is the time to reflect on what you have and not dwell on what you don’t have. Being thankful isn’t just about internalizing your good fortunes but fully expressing this gratitude to everyone around you. Have you ever noticed that an honest and heartfelt “thank you” can completely brighten another person’s day as well as your own?

On the second page of this month’s Item of Value (click link below), you will find a list of easy ways to show even casual acquaintances that they have a positive impact on your life and that you appreciate them.

Dear Friend,

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America today. Being a victim can have a huge impact on you now and potentially well into the future.

One of the frightening aspects of identity fraud is that it's most often perpetrated by a faceless enemy, and the struggle is fought on many different fronts: online, over the phone, and even in the dumpster. However, if you can remember some simple advice and employ some easy tactics, you can significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim.

In this month's Item of Value, I have some pertinent information about how thieves operate and what you can do to stop them. This includes tips on handling your sensitive documents, as well as what to avoid when you check your email or shop online. I'll also tell you what steps to take if you do become targeted. In addition, I have provided a special offer from Buy.com. Whether you use it for yourself, or toward a gift for a friend, the offer is good for a variety of Buy.com products, including 50% off a Fellowes Powershred to help protect yourself from identity theft.

Remember, identity theft has significant financial and emotional implications, but there are simple, straightforward ways to greatly reduce your risk of falling victim to this increasingly popular crime.

Dear Friend,

Without clear-cut financial goals, your bank account is more likely to be empty than brimming. If you let this habit slide too far you may even find yourself in debt. In fact, accordingly to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the average personal savings rate in America was -1.2 percent in February 2007, meaning more people are borrowing than saving.

However, it doesn't have to be that way, if you make the commitment to pay yourself first and truly commit to a savings plan. For this month's Client Appreciation Program, I am providing you with some resources to help you start saving on a planned and consistent basis. In particular, you will find the goal-setting worksheet to be useful. It will help you set realistic, attainable savings goals.

The end result? You'll enjoy greater financial freedom. You'll make progress toward getting out of debt. Big dreams like owning a home, paying for your children's higher education or funding your retirement now become possible. I hope you find this month's Item of Value helpful.

Sincerely,

Dear Friend,

As everyone knows, there truly is no place like home. For those buying their first home, it can be an extremely rewarding process.

Many Americans set a goal to own their own house and feel a great sense of accomplishment when they achieve that objective. Did you know that owning your own house can be much more than an important milestone in your life?

In this month's Item of Value, you will learn just how advantageous homeownership can be. Along with the pride of ownership, homeowners are often more financially stable and can even earn more money in time through home equity. Studies also show that homeowners are more stress-free and healthy as a result of having fewer financial worries and more money to provide for medical coverage.

For more Americans, a house is the largest investment they will every make - with all the benefits of homeownership, it is also the most significant.

Sincerely,

Dear Friend,

The only constant is change, and in this case it's two cents worth.

The Governors of the United States Postal Service have approved a 2-cent stamp increase to go into effect May 14, 2007, raising the cost of mailing a first-class letter from 39 to 41 cents.

I have enclosed twenty 2-cent stamps for those that receive my mailer that can be used with your existing 39-cent stamps to help smooth the transition and save you time. You will also find a chart below detailing the new pricing changes.

In this month's Item of Value, I have included useful information pertaining to the new USPS mailing policies. I have also provided tips to successfully packaging, labeling and shipping your items to ensure they arrive at their destination on time and in good condition.

The USPS has adapted their services to stay current with times, and with the massive role that sending and receiving post plays in our personal and professional lives, it is vital that you too adapt and stay current.
