The Fire Dept. gives FREE training in Disaster Preparedness. I am taking the course and it is fascinating. We cover basic information that any homeowner or family would find beneficial. These are the headings for the classes:
Disaster Preparedness
Disaster Fire Suppression
Disaster Triage
Disaster Patient Assessment
Search and Rescue
Incident Command System
Disaster Psychology
Terrorism
To find schedules and sign up for classes go to www.cert-la.com.

The courses are taught many times during the year. You can take them in or out of order. You can complete them at your own pace. So if you have a difficult schedule, and most of us do, don't let that get in your way.

The Fire Department offers wonderful advice in the booklet "Los Angeles Fire Department Emergency Preparedness." This can be downloaded and printed so you all have a copy in your home. Please go to http://www.cert-la.com/EmergPrepBooklet.pdf.

It offers suggestions in case of earthquake, fire and other emergencies that may arise. It is worth taking the time to prepare now for what may happen later.

Dear Friends,

Have you ever considered being an organ donor? There is more to it than just the pink dot on your license.

Prior to 2004, no Registry had existed for those who wished to give consent to be an organ and/or tissue donor. Historically, while signing a donor card and placing the pink dot on your license served as an important symbol of your intent, it did not place you on any list or Registry.

Officially formed in 2004 after being authorized by the state, California's four federally designated nonprofit organ procurement organizations (facilitating the donation process across California), are committed to giving every person waiting for a transplant a second chance at life.

Right now over 21,000 Californians wait for an organ transplant. That's 21 percent of the more than 100,000 people waiting across our country. Tragically, one third of them will die waiting.
Now, Donate Life California allows you to express your commitment to becoming an organ, eye and tissue donor. The Registry guarantees your plans will be carried out when you die.

My cousin’s life was extended by 9 years after a heart and lung transplant. She was a nurse who used those years to train others who continue her work in caring for patients and training other nurses. She was able to make a tremendous difference in the lives of so many others with this extra time she was given.

You have the power to donate life—sign up today to become an organ and tissue donor. Your generosity can save up to eight lives through organ donation and enhance another 50 through tissue donation.

From the website Donate Life California. For more information: www.donatelifecalifornia.org

I appreciate all the real estate referrals and take them as the ultimate compliment to my work.

Thanks and have a great summer.

Dear Neighbors,
William Temple said “Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.” Health is the greatest treasure of life, one that must be tended and appreciated for the wonderful gift it is.
Just as it’s important to have a roof over your head, it’s also important to eat right and exercise to maintain your health. In tending to your health, it is wise to keep a personal health record checklist to be ready for any challenges. You can build this file gradually, but here is a list of important information you will want at your fingertips:
Personal Identification, including name and contact information, birth date, and Social Security number.
Emergency contacts, including phone numbers.
Physician contacts, including specialists and dentist.
Health Insurance information.
Living will, advance directive or power of attorney.
Organ-donor authorization, if any.
Current medications and dosages.
Significant illnesses and surgeries, with dates.
Immunizations and their dates.
Allergies and other sensitivities.
Results from most recent physical.
Test results and eye and dental records.
Family Health history.
Opinions of specialists.
Correspondence with providers.*
*AARP (2008)
For yourself and for the ones who love you, keep this valuable information in a safe place that is easily available. You may also want to set some personal goals, such as hiking in Italy or visiting the Grand Canyon, to keep you focused on your health. Having tangible goals helps keep us motivated and excited about maintaining the best health possible.
I hope you find this information useful.
As always, I thank you for your continuing support in my real estate business. If you know of anyone interested in buying or selling a home, a referral is the highest praise I can receive.
Wishing you good health and a great summer-

Tax Exemption. You or someone you know may be eligible for a big tax exemption when they sell their home under PROPOSITION 60.

This proposition helps homeowners with tax relief by preventing property reassessment when a person 55 or older sells his or her existing residence and purchases or constructs a replacement residence worth the same or less than the original. For married couples, only one spouse must be 55 or older.

This means that if you meet all the requirements, you can take your property tax base (which may be significantly lower) with you when you purchase a new home. I’m not a tax specialist, so make sure you check with your accountant before you claim this exemption.

You will need to buy your replacement home within two years of selling your original property in order to qualify. A claim for relief must be filed within 3 years of the date a replacement dwelling is purchased or new construction of that replacement dwelling is completed. Both properties must qualify for a homeowner’s exemption, which requires that a property be the owner’s principal place of residence.

You can only apply for this exemption once, unless you become disabled after receiving the property tax relief. In that case you may transfer the base year value a second time because of the disability. This requires a separate form.

It is also important to note that if you sold the original property to your parent, child, or grandchild and that person filed a claim for the parent-child or grandparent-grandchild change in ownership exclusion, then you may not transfer your base year value.

PLEASE NOTE: Transfers between counties are allowed only if the county in which the replacement dwelling is located has passed an authorizing ordinance. The acquisition of the replacement dwelling must occur on or after the date specified in the county ordinance. This information is easily obtained at your county tax assessor’s office.

I am happy to explain further and help you with any transfer you may be considering. Contact me for the paperwork for easy filing. I am always available to help you with your real estate needs.

Happy New Year.

During the fires of 2007, I thought of the many unfortunate people who were forced to decide very quickly what they should bring with them in case of an evacuation. I’m sure many were prepared, but many more were not. I decided to gather my most important papers long before any emergency presents itself to me. After researching, this is a list I came up with that you could use as a guide for essential documents.

Important Documents
Keep important documents in a safe place that you can access easily. If it is a safety deposit box away from your property, simply grab the key. Otherwise, gather the following documents in one place before you need them:
 Insurance policies (life, auto, homeowners, renters, etc.)
 Copies of health insurance information (insurance card, doctor’s name and number, prescriptions, allergies and immunizations)
 Personal records (birth certificate, marriage certificate, military records)
 Passports
 Drivers license or personal identification
 Automobile papers (bill of sale, registration, etc.)
 Social Security cards
 Recent tax returns (you may want to include home improvement records/receipts)
 Employment information (including recent pay stubs and employee benefits information)
 Wills, deeds and power of attorney, medical DNR, donor info.
 Stocks, bonds and other negotiable certificates
 Bank, savings and retirement account numbers
 Traveler\'s checks or other forms of currency
 Housing documents (mortgage, property deeds)
 Personal property inventory (item description, serial number, receipt, warranties and photographs or videos)
 List of emergency contacts, (family, friends, lawyer, financial advisors, etc.)
 Backup disks of critical computerized information
 Negatives of irreplaceable personal photographs (with protective plastic sleeves)
You will need to update these documents once a year. And if you own a home, consider opening a home equity line of credit so emergency funds will be available when you need them.

Hope this is helpful and that you never have to use it.

Be safe and well in the New Year,

Amy

Dear Friends,

We are all interested in doing our part to save energy. Not only does it help our environment but it can also save us money. But where do you begin? Sometimes it’s best to start small and slowly add energy-saving habits a little at a time. Here are some helpful suggestions to get you started.

1. Automate your energy use: Programmable thermostats can lower heating and A.C. bills. Installing motion detectors and light timers can save on juice by only turning on lights when needed.

2. Pull the plug: Most TV’s, stereos and other electronic devices are used only a few hours a day, but because of their displays and memory chips, they consume energy around the clock. In fact, inactive electronics account for a whopping 5% of our nation’s energy use. When you are gone for more than a week, make it a habit to unplug these devices.

3. Slow the flow: Even though showering is more energy efficient than a bath, they still account for 40% of hot water energy costs. By installing low-flow showerheads and aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets, you can reduce your hot water usage as much as 50%.

4. Dust off the fridge: When dust accumulates on the coils at the bottom or back of the refrigerator, it forms a barrier that makes it more difficult for the fridge to dispel heat and keep food cold. Vacuum these coils every 3 months (more often if you have pets) to boost your fridge’s efficiency by up to 30%.

5. Stop being the dishwasher: A fully loaded dishwasher can use 40% less hot water than hand washing the same number of dishes. And it saves you time.

6. Stay pumped: Under inflated tires reduce your car’s fuel efficiency by as much as two miles for each gallon of gas. Also, check your car’s air filter regularly. Replacing a dirty filter can translate into a 10% increase in mileage.

Simple and small changes in our energy habits can lead to large savings, both for us personally and for generations to come.

I hope you found this information helpful. As always, I thank you for your continuing support in my real estate business. If you know of anyone interested in buying or selling a home, a referral is the highest praise I can receive.

Best,

Amy
P.S. Some of these tips were suggested in AARP Magazine, 2007.

Dear Friends,

Summer in Southern California is a delightful combination of visits to the beach, trips to the mountains, and lots of outdoor time at home. Barbeques, pool parties, just lounging around with friends or a good page-turner—we know how to relax here in the privacy of our own space.

When adding up all the good points, potential good points, and challenges of a new home purchase, be sure to put the outdoor space in the plus column. I always consider outdoor space as a bonus room, even though it is not counted in your home’s square footage, because of the wonderful possibilities you have to extend a home’s usable space beyond its walls.

Whether a balcony, an expansive green lawn, a cozy deck or a tree-filled yard, Southern California homes offer many opportunities for enjoying the outdoors, and there are several ways to extend the use of your open space.

Kitchens may be the heart of a home, but now they can be the heart of your yard, too. You can enjoy a simple outdoor grill or pair it with other equipment to fashion a full-fledged outdoor cooking station, keep things cool in an outdoor refrigerator, crank up the sounds with a stereo system hooked up to satellite radio, and catch up on the soaps on an all-weather television.
Portable fire pits or stone fireplaces are another way to add to your outdoor space and extend your enjoyment of the yard into cooler months.
Landscaping adds a layer of beauty, and can transform a suburban back yard into a peaceful sanctuary of green lawns, beautiful rock gardens, and tranquil ponds. You can discover that the great outdoors is a natural place to connect with your inner self. Meditation areas can be separated from the other “zones” such as cooking, dining, and sitting. Sling-back chairs, big pillows, and fountains can also add to a tranquil, outdoor ambiance.
Landscape designers and home owners are discovering that masses of colorful perennials can create a bold, colorful look that doesn’t require a lot of upkeep. Include the wise purchase of a rain sensor that adjusts water schedules based on precipitation.
Take advantage of all that your home has to offer as a vacation getaway: no airport hassles, no long, hot drives and expensive gas bills - just rest and relaxation with all the comforts of home.

Have a great summer!! And visit my website at amypell.com.

Dear Friends,

Like most of you, I am concerned with the growing threat of identity theft. In this era of sophisticated technology, thousands of names, addresses, and social security numbers are stolen in major breaches of data security every day. Monitoring your personal information is absolutely essential, especially when you are about to embark on a major decision like purchasing a home.

Here are a few proactive steps you can take to make it difficult for a thief to steal your identity:

• Check credit reports at least semi-annually. (You can go to annualcreditreport.com and choose from 3 different bureaus)
• Check spouses, parents, and even children’s credit reports
• Shred all documents rather than just toss in the trash
• Make certain that all legal documents, account numbers, tax documents, and cancelled checks are secure
• Destroy all pre-approved credit card offers
• Place mail in secure, outgoing mailboxes or at the Post Office
• Call the Post Office if you go more than 4 days without mail
• Pay attention to delivery dates of all bills
• Pay attention to bank and credit card statements
• Reconcile bills and statements diligently and in a timely manner
• Pay attention to the expiration date of credit cards and look for arrival of new cards
• Sign all new cards immediately
• Avoid using your Social Security Number for accounts or other public information whenever possible
• Have bank-ordered checks delivered to the bank and not your home

Don’t think it can’t happen to you. Even with diligent attention it is important to understand that we all are vulnerable to having our identity compromised. As long as you are shredding old documents, checking your credit, and developing an awareness of your personal information, you will have a much better chance of stopping an identity thief from ruining your credit.

Thank you for your continuing support in my real estate business. Your referrals are the greatest praise I can receive.

Best,

Amy

:: December 2006 ::

Dear Friends,

I am very pleased to announce my new website at amypell.com. As you can see, I am now sending my newsletters via email. Please visit the website to see any newsletters you may have missed.

The end of the year is a time for celebration. Thanksgiving and the Holidays allow us all a time for reflection and enjoying friends and families. I wish you all a wonderful year ahead full of joy and adventure.

As the end of the year approaches, it is also time to prepare for tax season. Here is some helpful information about possible tax deductions for your home:

1-Home acquisition mortgage loan fees: If you bought your primary or secondary residence in 2006, you probably obtained a mortgage to finance the purchase. The mortgage is called an “acquisition mortgage” because it enabled a purchase of the residence. If you paid a loan fee to obtain that acquisition mortgage, usually called “points,” that loan fee qualifies as an itemized deduction. Each point paid equals 1 percent of the amount borrowed.

2-Home improvement loan fees: If you paid a loan fee to obtain a home improvement loan, that loan fee is fully deductible in the tax year it was paid.

3-Loan fees paid to refinance a home loan or borrow against other real estate: If you refinanced your existing home loan in 2006, or borrowed against other real estate, such as an apartment building, any loan fee you paid must be amortized and deducted over the life of the mortgage, i.e., if you paid a $1000 loan fee to refinance with a new 33-year home mortgage, you can deduct $33.33 for each of the next 30 years.

4-When refinancing, deduct any undeducted loan fees: Due to mortgage interest rates, many home owners refinanced again in 2006 after previously refinancing a year or two earlier. These home owners should remember to deduct on the 2006 income tax returns, any undeducted loan fees from a prior mortgage refinance.

5-If you bought or sold property in 2006, remember to deduct prorated real estate taxes: A major tax deduction many real estate buyers and sellers overlook is the prorated property tax they paid at the close of escrow. Even if the other party remitted the payment to the tax collector, but you were charged a prorated portion of the tax bill, be sure to deduct your share on your 2006 return.

6-Deduct prorated mortgage interest in the year of property purchase or sale: Similarly, if you bought a residence (or other real estate) and took over an existing mortgage, do not forget to deduct your prorated interest share for the month of the sale (even if the seller made the payment to the lender). Your closing settlement statement shows your prorated share of mortgage interest.

7-Mortgage payment penalty: If you paid off an existing mortgage early and were charged a prepayment penalty by the lender, that prepayment penalty qualified as an itemized deduction.

8-When land rent payments qualify as interest deductions: Millions of homes are located on leased land and Internal Revenue Code 1630 allows land rent to be deducted like interest when the lease: (a) is for at least 15 years, including renewal periods; (b) is freely assignable; (c) contains a present or future option to buy the land; and (d) is like a security interest, such as a mortgage. Of course, payments to buy land are not deductible, nor are ground payments deductible if you do not have the option to buy the land, such as in a mobile home park.

9-Home construction loans: If you built a new home in 2006 or are building one now, do not forget to deduct the construction loan interest paid. It is deductible if the construction period does not exceed 24 months before occupancy of the principal residence.

10-Deduct prepaid property taxes and mortgage interest: If you prepaid your 2007 real estate taxes in 2006, as home owners do to increase their tax deductions, or if you paid your January 2007 mortgage payment in December 2006, do not forget to deduct these extra mortgage interest and property tax payment on your 2006 income tax returns.

I thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and referrals.

Wishing all a healthy and happy 2007.

Best-

Amy

Dear Friends,

During the heat of the summer, have you ever considered a vacation home? In the next 5 to 15 years the vacation home market will expand tremendously. Housing forecasters expect Americans to purchase more than 4 million second homes over the next 10 years, in part because of some 76 million retiring baby boomers will be moving into smaller homes and new neighborhoods.

Some areas pegged for strong appreciation are Hilton Head, South Carolina; Park City, Utah; and Sun River, Oregon. There are thousands of locations to look for a vacation home. Beach, river, lake, and mountain locations are good choices. Important points to consider when gathering information are migration trends, the inventory of homes, and the potential of home growth.

For financing, you might choose to withdraw equity from your present property to invest, or trade down by selling your primary residence and moving to a smaller home, then applying the remaining capital to the purchase of a vacation home.

If you are interested, I can help you search for homes across the country and refer you to a specialist in the area.

The greatest compliment I can ever receive from a satisfied client is a personal referral. So when you have conversations with friends, family and business associates who are considering buying or selling a home, please feel free to refer my name.

Stay cool,
Amy Pell

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Albert Einstein said "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."

As the cold chill of winter gives way to warmer days of spring, consider these tips for home maintenance and safety:

* Replace your furnace and air conditioning filters
* Clean the kitchen exhaust fan and air filter
* Always have a fully-charged multi-purpose fire extinguisher accessible
* Make sure the light bulbs in your fixtures are the correct wattage
* Review your fire escape and earthquake plans with your family
* Have your roof inspected for potential leaks every few years
* Protect your home from sewer or drain back-ups
* Check all fascia and trim for deterioration
* Clean clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper and space under the dryer
* Replace all extension cords that have become brittle, worn, or damaged
* Inspect and clean dust from smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
* Check recreational equipment
* Check your outdoor decks and patio for possible deterioration
* Check exterior siding

We all have the periodic surprises to deal with so it is important to stay ahead of home issues wherever possible. The best line of defense is to prepare against avoidable problems.

Wishing you a warm and wonderful spring. As always, thank you for the referrals.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

With all the recent natural disasters in this country and abroad, many questions have arisen regarding what perils are generally covered by a basic standard homeowners\' policy. Most policies include coverage for perils such as fire, lightning, explosion, wind, hail, falling objects, and water damage as a result of a busted pipe or leaky roof.

Damage from mudslides and landslides are not covered by typical homeowners\' insurance plans. If damage is caused by rising water and actual flooding from outside, it is not covered unless there is a separate flood policy in place. However, storm damage from wind and rain seeping through roofs and windows are generally covered by basic homeowners\' policies.

Flood insurance is required by lenders in some areas that have a high risk of flooding, such as those adjacent to waterways, flood plane, or property below sea level. Flood insurance is available but typically takes 30 days to activate.

As far as landslide insurance goes, the majority of insurance companies in California do not offer this. It is very difficult to obtain, as there are only a few companies that specialize in this field or even offer it and the premiums are often unaffordable.

Earthquake insurance is also an additional policy and can be very costly. Depending on the amount of the deductible, it can cover damaged goods within the home as well as replacement of the entire dwelling. It may also cover additional living expenses for loss of use of home.

It is best to speak with your personal insurance agent to determine what suits your needs. The first line of defense is to understand what your policy is, what type of coverage you have, and what you may need.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season. As always, thank you for the referrals.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The market remains strong. Interest rates have inched up a bit but due to continued low rates and a limited inventory, home values continue to rise. Investment in real estate is consistent as a strategic money maker. Compared with the volatile stock market and poor interest rates in savings and loans, real estate consistently proves to be the best investment over time.

Every L.A. neighborhood seems to be under some construction. Pride of ownership has reached an all-time high as the value of our property soars. One of my favorite activities in this business is helping my clients invest wisely in remodeling and tuning-up their homes to ensure favorable yields on their investments when it is time to sell. A little extra effort on my part in consulting with you can make a substantial difference in your home’s market appeal. Please call me if you’re planning to invest in your home and wondering how improvements will enhance the value.

There is also a practice referred to as Staging Your Home for Sale. I realize that most of you understand the value of preparing your home when it comes time to sell. For years, sellers have been getting their homes ready for sale by planting, patching, and clearing out clutter. But recently, this process has been taken to a higher, more sophisticated, and deliberate level called “staging.” Staging heightens your home’s market appeal by setting up each room with appropriate accessories, furniture, flowers, and plants to help buyers perceive the space as “home.” It can make a huge difference in how quickly you sell your property and how much you get.

Be sure you plan at least a few weeks of staging into the beginning of your schedule when it comes time to sell. I can walk you through all the steps in person when you’re thinking about selling.

It should be a glorious spring due to the recent rains. Enjoy the wonderful mountains and landscapes of Los Angeles. As always, thank you for the referrals.

Best,
Amy Pell

To Whom it May Concern:

Buying your first home can be a daunting and discouraging process, but Amy was very supportive and always made us feel important. With Amy’s impeccable grace and guidance we were able to successfully purchase our first home. From our first meeting up to the present, Amy has always been willing to give her advice and sound guidance. We began our process with little hope for a house but because of Amy’s knowledge of the San Fernando Valley and diligent searches, she was able to match us with a house that fits our needs and our price range.

She was very patient with us and never made us feel rushed, pushed, or unimportant. In fact, she very clearly pointed out the pluses and minuses of every house we looked at. At no time did Amy ever force us to look at a property. Moreover, she even told us when she thought a property was not a good fit for our needs. Amy is very well versed in the San Fernando Valley real estate market. Amy searched thoroughly for us. We felt that there was not a property in the locations, price or within our needs that we did not look at. Amy’s focus is matching people with the properties that will make them happy and satisfied.

Once we decided to make an offer on the property we actually purchased, Amy carefully explained the entire process to us. We felt very safe that she would take care of all of the issues that arise in the escrow process. She successfully negotiated a fair charge-off for us and made sure that escrow closed on time and correctly.

Even after we had purchased and moved into our home, Amy offered her support with recommendations for gardeners and housekeepers to help with dealing with neighbors. We know if we ever had any problems arise with our home we could call Amy and she would gladly help us with advice and support.

When we ever have a need for a real estate agent in the future, without question we would go with Amy Pell. We would recommend her to anyone who wants an honest, positive and hard-working agent for any real estate transaction.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

2004 was an incredible year and real estate market for 2005 continues to be robust. However, it is clear that prices have peaked, inventory has increased, and sales are slowing. What does this mean? Larger inventory and fewer buyers increase the average days on the market. Property that 3 or 4 months ago would have sold in the first week now may remain on the market for weeks or months. Buyers are starting to resist the steep increases over comparable properties.

What does that mean to you? If you are considering buying or selling a home at this pivotal time, it is important to these trends. As long-term interest rates move up, we expect the demand for homes to continue to slow. Pricing your property correctly has never been so important. Aggressive marketing -- including a full-page Los Angeles Times advertisement, which we will create and place for you -- is a must.

I am here daily to match people with their first or dream home, to make selling their home an easy and enjoyable experience, or to find the right income property in an appropriate neighborhood. Referrals are the key to the real estate business and I want you to feel confident about referring me. Not only am I working with a team of experts headed by Peter J. Maurice, but our group is the top producing team in our Beverly Hills Office and we are ranked among the top 20 Coldwell Banker agent teams in all of Southern California. I have enclosed an excerpt from a client letter to let you understand how I do business.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to call me if you have questions.
Remember, when you’re ready to move I can make it happen.

All the best,
Amy Pell
