In today’s information age, you can’t be too careful, and you’d treat unwanted credit card offers as you would sensitive information and shred them. If you’re like us, we get at least three or four different offers from credit card companies every day that mail is delivered. Sometimes all we get in the mailbox is junk mail! A Businessweek.com column pointed to a way to opt out of credit card offers for up to 5 years and even permanently.
A friend told us about zillow.com and this tool gives all the important details you’ll use when purchasing or selling a home. The website is constantly being updated and upgraded. You can now get bird’s eye view of the properties and street map views. You can also see the spread of prices on a street. You can get a “Zestimate” of a property’s value based on zillow’s proprietary computations. Zillow gets its data from public records. Learn how to use zillow.com here.
