Selling Your Home - A FSBO's Guide to Keeping It SafeWritten by Michelle Annese
Selling your home as a FSBO, you need a guide to keep safety in mind when prospecting potential buyers. The real estate industry has seen a problematic climb in assaults towards realtors, and so is concern for those who are selling their homes by themselves.Here are just seven ways designed specifically to protect you, your family, and your home, from being victimized: 1. Fully screen callers before allowing them an appointment for seeing your home. Ask all questions: name, existing address, and telephone number. Where are they employed? Why are they looking to buy? Do they have a family in area? Any children? Ask as many questions until you feel comfortable with this person. 2. Do not let unannounced visitors into your home unless you have their information first. If you are alone in house, have them come back later when there are others home. There is no reason why someone cannot be professional and make an appointment with you. Make sure there is more than one person in your home when showing your property. Remember, safety in numbers. 3. If you must show your home alone keep a cell phone with you. If you are in danger of a potential buyer, you can easily call 911 for help. In event in needing to get away from someone run out of house into your vehicle or neighbor’s house. Remember, your life is more important than any property. Most criminals interviewed say they do not want to harm anyone when taking valuables, prescription drugs or money. But if home owner puts up a fight, so will they. Let it go. Property and things in your home can be replaced, your life cannot!
| | Support and Resistance BasicsWritten by Trader Jack
Support and resistance are among most important technical analysis elements when trading. Support is zone at which a security is likely to stop falling, at least temporarily, and resistance is a zone at which price is likely to stop rising. Trading support and resistance are not precise lines on chart, but as we said before, are 'zones' within which market action intensifies. Support and resistance are basically price bands where price will probably stop falling or rising respectively. Because of their widespread use in all financial markets, trading support and resistance are usually best indicators for day trading. Many of most successful day traders learn how to calculate and use support and resistance exclusively in trading. Support and resistance levels can be applied in any timeframe, and you can often see a long term chart displaying obvious areas beyond which price seems reluctant to venture.
