Flood Insurance

Filed under: Uncategorized — pstaines @ 11:36 AM

As a Realtor, I often come into contact with homeowners who do not have flood insurance.  Even if your property is not in a flood zone, your home can still be damaged by rising water.  Yesterday’s storms are a reminder of that.  Please keep in mind that the elevation of your property determines whether you will be required by your lender to obtain flood insurance and not whether you are near a body of water.  There are various elevations that determine your flood risk, so once you have your survey and flood elevation certificate, your insurance agent will be better able to explain in detail.

26.2 With Donna

As a board member and Secretary of The Donna Hicken Foundation, I have never experienced such an outpouring of love and support from our community than what was experienced during the weekend of the 26.2 With Donna – The National Marathon to Fight Breast Cancer.  I would like to thank all who volunteered their time and resources to put on such a worthwhile event.  And mark your calendars for next year – the date has been set, Sunday, February 15, 2009.
