Starbucks Morning: Preparing for Medicare Open Enrollment

The Medicare Open Enrollment Period begins on October 15th and runs through December 7th. This period gives you the opportunity to make changes to your Medicare coverage that will be effective on January 1st. If you are satisfied with your current coverage, you don't need to make changes; however, it is a good idea to review your options and being informed is the best way to avoid costly mistakes!

Is it Marketing or is it Fluff?

Marketing is a major component to real estate sales. Words are chosen carefully to describe and attract attention to the property for sale. False or misleading marketing wastes prospects' time, frustrates fellow REALTORS, and generally places doubt on the integrity of the REALTOR community. 
False or misleading marketing can include inaccurate or puffed descriptions; misstatement of the number of bedrooms or bathrooms; or items such as the age of the home or its components. The consumer relies on the REALTOR to get it right. Use care when choosing your words. False or misleading advertising only hurts the consumer and it can result in a sanction for violation of license law and the Code of Ethics.
