If the agent representing the seller is skilled, it can take about 4 months from start to finish, with 85-90% success rate.

Easy Ways to Transform a Room
RISMEDIA, March 23, 2011—Updating a living room or family room doesn’t have to mean giving it a complete makeover. A few simple changes can transform a tired room into a fresh space in no time.
Give your windows better treatment
• Replace heavy draperies, which can look outdated, with a more contemporary alternative. Faux wood, honeycomb blinds, roman or vertical shades—there are a lot of options to dress up your windows. Many online companies will send you samples so you can see how the different options will look in your particular space.
So many home sellers ask me for suggestions on how to spruce up a room. This article provides a good place to start!

A renters insurance wake-up call
Consider extra liability insurance, coverage of valuables
By Robert Griswold, Thursday, March 10, 2011.Q: I have been a resident at an apartment community for several years and I am in the middle of a one-year lease. The property recently changed ownership and the new owner's property management company has just sent me a letter demanding that I double the amount of the minimum coverage for my renters insurance policy.
I don't mind having the renters insurance, as it protects me, but I think that the current minimum of $50,000 is sufficient and I shouldn't have to pay for a $100,000 policy.
Is it legal for my property manager to demand an increase in my minimum renters insurance coverage while my current lease agreement is still in effect with a $50,000 minimum?
It's typical for landlords to require renters insurance and I do not see it deter most renters from renting a house or unit. Most people see renters insurance is in the best interest for all involved.

How Well Are You Insured Against Flooding?
By Claudia Buck
Print Article
RISMEDIA, March 23, 2011—(MCT)—The frightening images of Japan’s tsunami wiping out homes, roads and entire cities are vivid reminders that a natural disaster can strike at any time.
And whether it’s an earthquake, a wildfire or flooding, being covered against severe damage to your home or business is essential.
Across the United States, flooding is the No. 1 natural disaster, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
And given the region’s swollen rivers and the promise of heavy runoff this spring from melting snow, now is a good time to assess how well you’re protected against flooding.
This past weekend, we were drenched with 3"-7" of rain from Brentwood and Santa Monica to Beverly Hills and Downtown Los Angeles. Most people don't realize their homeowner insurance policy only covers water damage from the sky, but not from 'rising water.' Are you covered?
