Since August, it feels like it’s been raining almost every day. And not just regular rain, but at times, terrible downpours. Probably more than any of nature’s forces, water figures out a way to cost homeowners money. Water in your basement, clogs in your gutters, sewage backups, seepage from window wells and other water-related problems can create nightmares, especially for new homeowners who are unprepared.
As a new homeowner, water is one of the many challenges you have to now address. But that’s what being a homeowner is all about. There is no super to call to fix all the problems and eventually you have to stop calling dad. You’ll have to figure it out yourself.
With that in mind, together with Malka Abrahams and Michelle Wasserlauf of Links Residential, I am happy to announce our third in the “Caring for Your Home” series, which will be held on Wednesday, October 17, at 7:00 p.m. at the Citibank Englewood branch at 89 Engle Street. To address the recent monsoons, we have invited back Matt from Bardia Plumbing, who will be available to answer questions about water in the basement. We also hope to include a local gutter company to help educate you on the best ways to keep water away from the home. We will also feature Mehran from Kayvon Air Conditioning, who will discuss options in AC and heating.
Caring for your home is going to have many unexpected costs over the years. This seminar series is intended to help you understand those expenses and provide the tools so you can act preemptively to reduce the eventual costs.
One cost you can manage is your monthly mortgage payment, by securing the lowest available rate. However, the only way to guarantee the lowest rate is to call and get a quote before deciding on a lender who charges more. You may be surprised at how much you can save if you go to a large bank. So please call for a quote.
This seminar is open to new homeowners as well as veterans who need guidance in these areas.
Please RSVP so I can plan accordingly. Dinner will be provided.
