Junior Achievement-Junior Achievement works with children to teach them the economics of life- how to earn money, how to balance a checkbook, how a business works. They have a miniature Tulsa at their Tulsa location- this city has a BOK, McGraw Realtors, and other businesses like you would see around Tulsa. The kids study and then are able to work in this town. They have to operate the business, pay the bills, advertise and everything else that you would have to do when you own a business.
To volunteer or for more information on Junior Achievement, contact them at www.tulsa.ja.org.
Thermal Imaging of Tulsa Homes- You are able to use a special camera to detect where energy is leaking from your property. This may detect missing insulation, air leaks, and many other things. Many times there are small and inexpensive problems that can be fixed. Before you spend money on a new heat/air unit, it is important to find out where the air may be leaking. The initial thermal inspection is on sale now for $99 (homes below 2000 sq. ft) including a detailed report with our findings. Most air, ceiling, and insulating issues will usually pay for themselves within a few years. Repairing these problems can even help prevent your property from appraising much lower should you decide to sell.

There were 80 earthquakes in OK in 2010, 50 that could be felt. There was a 5.1 earthquake in Oklahoma last year, in 2010. Oklahoma does have more earthquakes than many realize. In 2011 there were 4 earthquakes. Earthquake insurance in OK is something that is available It is relatively inexpensive. It will usually have a high deductible and usually exclude aesthetic cracks in the sheetrock. In Oklahoma, we don't usually purchase this type of insurance. Weigh the costs versus the risks.

5 Reasons Why Your Home Sale Doesn't Close - 1. Financing- many buyers have pre-approval but are not pre-qualified. Other times, the bank will pre-qualify them and them at the last minute say that something has changed. 2. Appraisal- With the market fluctuation, sometimes the appraisal will come in too low and the bank won't loan the money. As a homeowner be aware of this. 3. Repairs- Often the buyer won't be satisfied with the inspection report and the issues that may have been found. 4. Inexperienced Agent- Many agents simply don't have the experience in dealing with problems and issues that may arise. Make sure that the agent you choose will be able to advise you and will be able to help you prevent problems. 5. Buyer- Sometimes the buyer will change their mind. Often, the contract will say the buyer has 10 days to change their mind on the contract. Make sure that you get enough earnest money. If the earnest money is small enough, the buyer might walk away from the earnest money because they change their mind.
The number of sold properties is increasing in relation to the number of properties on the market. Supply is decreasing. We are slowing edging back to a sellers market. There is still lots of competition and many foreclosures.
