Relocating to the Gulf Coast of Alabama

Barbara Reeves — Mon, 02 May 2011 20:44:49 +0000

Relocating to the Gulf Coast of Alabama

America`s Deep South holds a special place within the hearts of many people. Alabama is a state within the Deep South and known affectionately as the “heart of Dixie” due to its central location within the southern Dixie states. Alabama combines a rich cultural history with the opportunities to live a present day American Dream. With affordable housing, a great quality of life and countless attractions and amenities, relocating to Alabama can be the start of your dream life. So what are you waiting for? Give your experienced and knowledgeable realtor a call, book your professional and insured http://www.upack.com moving company and make the best move of your life!

Alabama embodies the image of southern charm and hospitality that has made it famous throughout the world. There is a distinct way of living here that appeals to individuals and families who enjoy the finer things in life. Good food is the foundation of this state and reflects the melting pot of nationalities that live here. The influence from past settlers lives on in the flavors of the cuisine. Popular methods include Cajun, French, Spanish, African and Native American styles of cooking where herbs and spices are used to full effect to make the food succulent and sizzling. The agriculture, rivers and coast provide plenty of fresh resources. Many new residents find that nothing can compete with sitting in the warm sun, a cool drink in hand and tasting the river-to-table freshness of the local fish caught only that morning. Pure bliss.

The Metro Mobile area of Alabama is the oldest part of the state. Founded by French colonists in 1702, it is rich with history and heritage, including the oldest Mardi Gras in the whole of the United States, which date back to the 1800s and its colonial past. Located in the south-western tip of the state on the Mobile River and Mobile Bay, it is home to over 400,00 residents, who enjoy living on the Gulf of Mexico. Residents of Mobile are affectionately known as `Mobilians` and take great pride in their home town, especially its position as a leading cultural center. The Mobile Opera, Mobile Ballet company and the Mobile Symphony Orchestra are highly regarded arts organizations and perform several productions each year. For history and architecture lovers, the buildings and heritage in Mobile and throughout the state, will prove interesting and absorbing. Mobile Botanical Gardens and over 40 state parks add to this impressive array of facilities.

The major industries in the area include retail, construction, medicine, manufacturing, services and aerospace. There are a variety of public and private schools from which to choose in Mobile to ensure your children gain an excellent education. Housing is affordable, with the median sales price in early 2011 estimated at around $115,000 for a family home, rising to between $170,00 – $230,000 in more desirable locations, such as Milk House, Lyons Park and Carlen. For house hunters with a more extensive budget, head to Parkhill and the charmingly named Riviere Du Chien area.

Whatever your budget or preference, relocating to Mobile, Alabama will open up a world of opportunities. Experience life with a distinctly Southern flavor and enjoy creating your own American Dream.Enjoy all the exciting adventures and happiness to come!

Rents May Go Up, Good Time to Buy A Home in Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or the Mobile Metro Area?

Barbara Reeves — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 19:58:04 +0000

There is much talk in the real estate world about rents in the Mobile Metro area going up. The decrease in home ownership caused by the bursting of the nation’s housing bubble, combined with an increase in renters has put a big demand on rental markets in Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or Mobile Metro areas. This demand is creating a competitive market that is allowing a climate for rents to increase.

This is a prime example of how owning a home can be more beneficial than renting in certain markets. Housing is more affordable than it has been in years in the majority of the United States. Mortgage rates are low, inventories are high, and home values are still falling. In areas where a monthly mortgage payment is the same or less than monthly rent, home ownership is a wise investment.

The National Association of Realtors has been hosting “Home Ownership Matters”, visiting cities across the nation and educating people on the values of home ownership. A staggering statistic that they show is that the majority of home owners have a net worth of more than 30 times that of renters.

The mere fact that rents can go up as much as 10%, whereas fixed rate mortgage rates stay the same, make buying a home in Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or Spanish Fort in today’s market is smarter than renting, for those that can afford to buy a home. Rent is, in essence, paying someone else’s mortgage.

Barbara Reeves Mardi Gras Gift to you!

Barbara Reeves — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:07:11 +0000

Barbara’s Favorite Secret Recipe Shrimp, Crab and Corn Bisque

Ingredients

Chicken stock made from boiling a whole chicken with one onion & 6 stalks of celery with salt and pepper to taste until chicken falls off of the bone. Remove chicken, celery and onion from the pot, chill until the fat rises to the top, skim off fat. Save the chicken to use in another dish.

Melt one stick of unsalted butter add two tablespoons of corn starch, stir until blended, add chicken broth, cook until mixture begins to thicken.

Add one pint of whipping cream, simmer on low.

Add one pint of Silver Queen (home-grown) creamed corn or frozen Sweet Nibblet corn.

Peel one pound of medium shrimp cut nearly all the way through as to butterfly, add shrimp, cook slowly until shrimp begins to curl and turn pink.

Add one pound of jumbo lump fresh crab meat (claw meat will work) but the lump is much more tasty, cook slowly until crab is thoroughly warmed.

Serve and be prepared to hear all of the raves. Enjoy!

Good Credit Goes Hand in Hand with Acquiring a Daphne, Fairhope or Mobile Mortgage

Barbara Reeves — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 02:42:29 +0000

Good credit goes hand in hand with acquiring a mortgage to buy a Daphne, Fairhope, Mobile or Spanish Fort, Al property these days, especially a loan with a reasonable interest rate. That being said, examining your credit rating should be the first step you take before applying for a home loan. A free credit report is accessible from AnnualCreditReport.com, which will give you access to your credit rating from the three main credit reporting agencies, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. What these reports will not give you is your FICO score, something that can be purchased for roughly $15.

The FICO score is what lenders go on when determining whether to lend money and under what terms. The FICO score is achieved by weighing out your payment history (whether you pay your creditors on time) and your debt history, this is achieved by weighing credit reports from the different agencies and is updated as credit reports change. The FICO score ranges from 350 to 850, with 850 being the best score possible.

The free credit reports are a great place to start to clean up your credit. You can start with the first discrepancy on the list and go from there. Contacting entities that have posted against you is possible. A little time spent on the phone can often help repair and improve your credit. You can do yourself what can cost lots of $’s. Call Barbara and ask her how.

The old adage “money makes the world go round” is obsolete for those who cannot have access to it due to poor credit. Knowing what your credit score is and fixing the issues that exist within it can only help you in the long run.
