Our recent attendance at the NationalAssociation of Realtors Conventionin Orlando Florida in November,
provided updates on the Nation's real estatemarket. The Chief Economist for NARreported a 15% increase for 2012 and aprojection of 10% for 2013.The States are broken up into regions and
Region 13 is comprised of California, Hawaii,and Guam. The exchange of informationbridged the gap which separates Guam fromthe continental U.S., Puerto Rico and theVirgin Islands. Some the concerns and issuesreported during the convention are similar toGuam's.The National Association of Realtors take
a very active role working with Congress toprotectHomeOwnership Rights. An exampleof NAR's lobbying efforts is the approval byCongress of the FEMA Flood Insuranceextension for a five year period. This was passedright before the Hurricane that affected NewYork and New Jersey providing relief forhomeowners right in the nick of time.
Someof the issues theNationalAssociationofRealtors are tacklingwithCongress for 2013 are:• tax reform• mortgage interest deductions• real estate capital gains exemption• deductibility of state and local realestate taxes.
Wishing you and your families a veryMerryChristmas and a Happy New Year!

Ants, roaches, termites and other household pests aren’tjust a nuisance they can cause a significant amount ofdamage to a home and can potentially be a serioushealth risk. However being diligent can help avoidthese problems when buying a new home or preventthem from entering your home.

Philip Hagen, sales manager for Pacific Pest Control, has been helpingout with his family’s pest control company since he was 16 years old.Hagen says a typical home owner calls in for ants and roaches and thecompany also fields calls daily regarding termites. “Our tropical climateallows pests to flourish all year so there is no break in their attack on ourhomes.”
Termites
Hagen says that termites are the most damaging pests that Pacific PestControl treats. “They can eat up entire kitchen cabinets, maneuverround a home using baseboards and get into every room without thehomeowner knotting it. Once they are in these rooms they will damagedoor jams, closets and anything inside they can eat – cardboard, boxes,shoes, clothes and family photos. They can nest behind drywall anddamage any wooden studs holding those sheets of drywall up. They canbe a very expensive problem to fix if they are not dealt withimmediately.” According to the Center for Disease Control’s Web site,termites cause more than $2 billion in damage each year.
If you don’t want these pests invading your homeHagen says the easiestand most cost effective thing to do is to modify your storage practices.Store items in plastic storage containers, especially if it is something youvalue or do not check on a regular basis. Outside your home, Hagenrecommends removing anywood stored up against the home and to trimtrees or brush that is touching the exterior walls. Remove any old treestumps because they tend to attract termites and serve as nesting sites. “Ifyou are building or renovating your home, make sure that the soil istreated before concrete is poured and all wood is pressure treated.”
For those in the market for a new home, Hagen says to be on thelookout for the following signs of a possible termite infestation. Checkthe quality of construction and look for cracks on the walls or by thewindows. If there is a concrete walkway around the home, is separating
from the main house. “Many times termites come from small cracks inthe home’s floor slab. If the house has a lot of gaps around the plumbingor hollow concrete walls, this wouldmake it easier for termites to enter.”
With all of the lumber being imported, Hagen says he has seen a spikein the number of Drywood termites. “These termites create droppingsthat look like piles of sand. Unfortunately, many times the cost to treatthe wood outweighs the cost to replace it.”
Ants and Roaches
Ants and roaches are just mild pests getting into your food. Roaches areconsidered an allergen source and an asthma trigger for residents.Roaches have also been known to carry Salmonella typhimurium,Entamoeba hitolytica – a parasitic protozoan, and polio.
Removing the food source will reduce the likelihood of ants and roachesinfesting your home, Hagen says. “Cover all food containers, clip allopen chip bags and wipe down your counters and tables after cookingand eating. Also, seal up around windows with caulking to prevent antsfrom entering and install a door sweep if there is a gap under the door toprevent roaches from entering.”
Be Proactive
A homeowner can catch these pests before the infestations get out ofhand or major damage is done to their home. Hagen says routineinspections of closets that are full of boxes that do not get used are oftenhelpful. “If termites are found, it’s best go get ahead of them and actquickly before you are not only paying for the cost to treat them but alsothe cost to replace your cabinet. Always remember, ‘A clean home is ahappy home!’”

Starting Young
LLike anyone new to an industry, Andrew Choi of Today’s Realty, islooking to carve out his own niche in Guam’s competitive real estate indus-try. “My goal within the next few years is to establish myself as a successfuland productive Realtor that customers can come to know and trust,” Choisays. “For now I hope to continue broadening my knowledge in the realestate field and improvingmy skills that will helpmemeaningfully assist myclients with their real estate needs.”After graduating from the University of California, San Diego with a
bachelor’s in economics, Choi says he was drawn back to Guambecause he couldn’t call any other place “home.” “Guam has given me somuch throughout my life and I want to give back to the island and itspeople.”Back on Guam, Choi began to get his feet wet in real estate learning not
just about the business side of things but also about real estate transactionscould be life-changing decisions for people. “I realized that real estatetransactions represent some of the most momentous decisions andindividual can make in his or her lifetime. Choosing a place that you wantto call “home” not just another transaction you make every day and Ithought it would be fulfilling and enjoyable to meet new people on a dailybasis and guide them through this process to help them make the bestdecisions.”As someone relatively new to the industry, Choi says he’s faced with the
same challenges that anyone new faces. There are somany facets to know inthis field of expertise but like all the challenges he’s been faced with, Choihas dedicated himself to learning and taking in everything he can byfollowing and observing his mentor and fellow Real Estate agents.Choi’s dedication came to fruition when he finally made his first sale.
“Like most Realtors, my most memorable real estate moment was when Icompleted my first transaction. It was a great sense of achievement andpleasure to realize that I have found a family their new home.”Choi knows that he has a long road in front of him but believes that his
hard work and actually growing up on Guam can only serve as anadvantage. “I feel I can use my intimate knowledge of Guam in guiding thepeople in our communities to buy, sell, rent, and lease properties and leavethem satisfiedwith the decision that theymade,” he says. “Furthermore, I canguarantee that I will always put forth my best efforts to provide excellentand honest representation ofmy clients to ensure their successful real estatetransactions.”
P r o f i l e
I believe Casa Guam is an excellent source of real estate newsas it keeps the public up to date with Guam’s housing market andacts as a guide that readers can go to for real estate advice.

Best Repair of Carpet Burnsepairing your flooring will keep it looking great and help itlast longer.Even carpet that is well taken care of may end upwith some significant damages that need repairing, and suchrepairs are often easy for homeowners to fix themselves.Professional carpet repair can be expensive. But what else
can you do when your carpeting is damaged by cigarette or other burns?Actually, with a little patience, you can usually fix the damage just as wellyourself. Here are tips to do it conveniently and effectively.When only the tips of the carpet fibers are burned, carefully cut off the
charred fiber with a pair of small sharp scissors. Lightly sponge the areawith amild detergent solution and again with clean water. The low spotwon't be noticeable when the carpet dries.If there is a large area of damaged carpet, you'll have to replace the
burned area with a patch cut from a piece of scrap carpet. Here's how:
Step1:From scraps, cut out a rectangle or square of carpet a little largerthan the burned area. In order for the patch to blend in with the existingcarpet without being highly noticeable, it must match the pattern in thecarpet or the pile must run in the same direction.
Step 2: Press the scrap firmly over the damaged area. Holding it care-fully in place, use a utility knife to cut around the edges and through thecarpet under it. Cut completely through the backing, but don't cut intothe carpet padding.
Step 3:When the entire damaged area is cut out, lift the burned piece
out of the hole. Check the patch for fit, and, if necessary, slightly trim theedges so it fits the opening exactly.
Step 4:To install the patch, stick a piece of double-face carpet tape orapply an adhesive to the padding on each side of the hole. Position thepatch, and firmly press the edges onto the padding. Let the adhesive dryfor several hours before walking on the patch.Deep burns, places where a significant number of fibers have been re-
moved, holes, and other plainly visible damages will require the use ofcarpet patches to make the area new again. Carpet patches are not dif-ficult tomake, especially if you have some remnants of the carpet leftoverin your garage, basement, or storage shed. If not, you will have to cut apiece from your existing carpet. Should this be necessary, choose an in-conspicuous area fromwhich you can get your patch, such as the cornerof a closet floor.Besides burns and holes, this carpet-patching method can be used to
fix areas of the carpet that have suffered significant discoloration. In anycase, a little patience and care canmake it a cinch to patch a carpet, help-ing to keep homeowners from replacing all of the carpet in a roomwhenjust a small portion of it is damaged.
Help with Removing Burns in CarpetsDo not panic, most times burns in carpets are caused by a spark from
either an open fire or a cigarette. The open fire burn could be harder tofix if a piece of wood fell out of the fireplace.Vinegar & Carb sodaMake up a small solution of carb soda and vinegar and leave on burned
area for a fewminutes, this should lighten the bur, if not, cut off the verytop with a pair of scissors.

ome real estate companies are there for clients from the initialcontact through moving in. this is true if the client is movingdown the street or up the coast. There are some key things thatsome estate companies will provide.When considering a goodchoice keep the following in mind.
KnowledgeThe estate company should have agents that are knowledgeable about
the area that the client ismoving to. In some cases thismay pose no prob-lem. In long distance relocation this may require a solid and expansivenetwork of agents though. There are a number of independent estateagents that have joined collectives just for this reason.Along with that knowledge should come the ability to make recom-
mendations and provide sources. It is very nice when a real estate agentcan provide youwith recommendations.Howevermany people want tobe able to look at something. When an agent or company can give youthe sources they use they empower you. By providing clients with sourcesthat allow the client to research for themselves the area they are relocat-ing to greater benefit can be added. The client can begin to develop aworking knowledge of where they are moving. In addition prompts forgreater dialogue and understanding may present themselves.
So, you can begin your search either through local agents that are partof larger collectives with agents in the area that you are moving to or bysimply researching the companies that are in the locations you are relo-cating to and check out to what extent they provide real estate services.
Additional ServicesKnowing someone in the place you are arriving can be comforting.
Also there are practicalities that youmay not want to deal with. In somecases a real estate agent may be able to recommend a car service or tem-porary housing. These can be invaluable when first arriving in an area.A number of real estate agents and companies may actually make thearrangements for their clients. This can remove much of the stress thatis sometimes involved in a major transition.Moving arrangements are another aspect that an agent or company
may be able to assist with. In many cases they may have established con-nections with local companies. These services would typically not be re-quired until after permanent housing is established though.
Cost ConsiderationNearly anything can be arranged. In some cases what the client re-
ceives may be limited by what the client pays. There are many qualitycompanies that can supplymore for less though. Simply because you cannot afford themost expensive real estate service does not mean that set-tling for less than acceptable service is the only option. If the real estateagent recognizes you as a serious buyer they will likely be in a positionto help you. Talking to them openly can prove to be one of the most ef-fective ways to get what you want at a rate that you can afford.

How Real Estate CompaniesCan Help In Relocating
SBy Richard Smith
CasaGuamDec12:Layout 2 12/1/12 9:39 AM Page 19
security system is a great way to add Curb Appeal to your home. There aremany options available to consumers these days.However there is no universalsolution. It’s best to do some research before youmake the investment. Guamhas several security system companies that offer a variety of solutions.Check“The Guam Phone Book” for local listings.
To Secure or Not To Secure? That is the QuestionHaving an alarm system installed in your home can help reduce the risk of a
break in. Studies that conducted interviews with convicted criminals reportedthat 9 out of 10 intruders said they would avoid a home that had an alarm systemin place. Another way you can deter intruders is by displaying an easy-to-see yardsign orwindowdecal fromyour alarm company. Be advised that intruders can spota phony sign, so don't assume it can protect your home as well as an alarm system.
Wired vs. WirelessMany consumers choose to protect only the most vulnerable entry points of
their home. The best idea would be to protect every door and window. Thenumber of sensors available with home alarm systems will vary from one modelto the next. In general, wireless home security systems covermore points of entryfor less money than wired security systems.Wired security systems are generally sold by large home security companies
that require monthly monitoring fees and a technician for installation. Wire-less home security systems are also available from companies that require mon-itoring service but wireless systems are also popular among theDIY community.And, if you think you need a landline (traditional telephone line) in order tohave a monitored alarm system, think again. Cellular radio signals, some typesof VoIP and the Internet are also alarm communication methods that are ap-propriate for monitoring. With ever changing technology, it is now possible tomonitor your home remotely.Keep your defenses up during power outages as well with a power back up
source.Most alarm systems are equipped with backup batteries that activate im-mediately after a power loss. Ask the alarm system provider how your alarmworks during a power outage.
What’s In Your Wallet?Again, every home is different, as is your needs and budget. To find the right
solution for you and your home, follow these steps recommended by JenniferAllen, an eHow contributor.
Remember, the best home security services will balance a customer’s budgetwith the unique security needs of a particular home.
1. Determine whether the security system is wireless. Wireless systemsare a little easier than hard-wired systems to install. Youmight be ableto install a wireless system yourself.
2. Decide whether your security system should be monitored. If it ismonitored, the monitoring company is alerted when the alarm goesoff. It will often call you, as well as local law enforcement, if the alarmgoes off.
3. Make sure the home security company is bonded and insured. Thatway you are protected if the installers accidentally damage your prop-erty.
4. Find out whether a warranty is offered on the alarm system, andwhatit will cover. If you have a warranty, you will worry less about replac-ing the system if it doesn't work properly.
5. Compare the costs of equipment and installation. Installation of ahome security system can cost minimal. You will need to see whatthe installation package includes tomake sure you do not have to payadditional costs for equipment or services.
6. Compare the monthly cost of the system with each security serviceyou are considering. You will also want to consider annual mainte-nance fees for the system.
7. Determine where the security system is monitored. Some securityservices have local offices that monitor the system; others monitorfrom a regional location. If there is only one monitoring center andits computers go down, your family's protection is at risk.Weigh thesefactors when comparing home security services.
“Word of Mouth” is always a good way to determine which company to gowith, too. Check your friends, family and companies (if you can), and ask abouttheir experiences with their systems. You will be surprised at how much infor-mation you can get from them. It might even help you make the final decisionon how you can feel more secure at home.

IIt is time to bid farewell to 2012. What better leader to face up to theshare of challenges that our REALTOR® Association experienced than 2012President, Liz Duenas. Her “glass half-full” approach looked at the challengesas opportunities allowing us to re-assess what is best for the members and theassociation in general. Her extraordinary leadership is inspiring; she epitomizesyour modern day “strong woman”.President Liz’ successful leadership is supported by equally strong team of
board of directors and committee chairs; these volunteer individuals are thefoundation of any President’s successful term. The association is grateful fortheir dedication and expertise.
