Chritstmas TreeOver the holidays we hope you. . .

Mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind; be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it still once again.

Best wishes to you and your family from all of us at Dickson Realty.

Proper Ball Position – A Golf Tip From A Golf Pro

3golfballsProper ball position is critical to well struck golf shots. For full shots I have a very basic system. I call it the 3-ball method. 

Start with three balls place the first in the middle of your stance, then the second ball one ball over and the third one more ball over to the left. The rule of thumb is that the ball in the middle in your stance should be the proper position for your lower irons, say 7 thru the wedges, the second ball for your mid irons, the third position, just inside your left heal works great for the woods.   

 You want to catch the ball before the clubhead reaches it’s lowest point by setting the ball just before where the club makes contact with the ground. This will ensure solid contact and you’ll avoid hitting “fat” or thin shots.

Facing Foreclosure – Knowing The Process Can Help

Many homeowners in the Reno-Sparks area are facing issues with mortgage delinquency and possibly foreclosure.  This can be a very stressful time and knowing the process and where to go for help can be very beneficial.  As a member of the Nevada Association of REALTORS Foreclosure Prevention Task Force, I have come across a very valuable tool for homeowners – “Nevada Foreclosure Information Workbook”.  This booklet was compiled by the Nevda Statewide Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce.  You can download this booklet from Nevada Department of Business and Industry’s website.  Here is a link http://foreclosurehelp.nv.gov/Brochures/ForeclosureWorkbook.pdf

The booklet covers topics like – Understanding Delinquency, Understanding Your Financial Situation, Know Your Mortgage, Know Your Options, Beware of Scams, Tools for the Homeowner, and Document Checklist for Dealing With Your Lender.  There are also definitions for many of the terms you may need to know.  There is also a list of resources. 

If you are facing issues with delinquency the best thing you can do is take a pro-active approach and educate yourself on the process.  This will enable you to have more successful results when dealing with your lender.
