Prudential Lifestyle Realty Launches High Tech, User-Friendly Web Site To Empower Buyers and Sellers

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) February 28, 2009 — In a challenging marketplace where every advantage is an asset, Prudential Lifestyle Realty is proactively keeping its award-winning Realtors and satisfied customers ahead of the technological curve and the competition.

Highly educated consumers may make some businesses feel more vulnerable or irrelevant, but Prudential Lifestyle Realty recognizes the value of putting real estate resources and cutting edge tools directly into the hands of clients. The Asheville area real estate brokerage recently launched a sleek new Web site that includes free tools such as a high-speed MLS search engine.

"The online database of properties includes listings in all price ranges in and around Asheville, Hendersonville, and Brevard," explains Clay Johnson, Vice President of Marketing for Prudential Lifestyle Realty. "Anyone looking to buy a house, sell property, find a new home across town, or newcomers hoping to relocate to the Asheville area can all conduct specialized, customized searches on the user-friendly site."

Users can even sign up to receive instant custom email alerts each time a home is put up for sale that matches their’s desires.

The launch of the new site comes on the heels of another recent company achievement. One of the company’s top Realtors was awarded 2008 Realtor of the Year by the Brevard Board of Realtors. Ea Dossey was chosen for this coveted distinction thanks to her tireless work to help improve the Brevard Board of Realtors.

Canadian Funding Corporation Funds Multi-Million Dollar Apartment Complex Acquisition

The purchase of an apartment complex in Toronto was about to fall through due to lack of funding. Canadian Funding Corporation funded the transaction, resulting in a successful acquisition.

Thornhill, Ontario (PRWEB) February 28, 2009 — Canadian Funding Corporation through one of its numerous estates funded a $2,180,000.00 transaction which facilitated the acquisition of a 33-unit apartment complex in Toronto, Canada. Without this funding from Canadian Funding Corp, that was approved by Moishe Alexander, the purchaser would not have been able to acquire this complex.

Moishe Alexander, President and Founder of Canadian Funding Corporation says, "If you think you have a deal that makes sense, it probably does. At Canadian Funding Corporation, we look at the big picture. We can often recommend funding solutions regular brokers and lenders don’t even know about."

He also noted, "At Canadian Funding Corp. (CFC), we’ll take a close look at your specific needs so that you get the best deal available. We use our pool of experts to assess the risk, analyze the options and recommend the right solution for you."

A business process can make or break interaction with a potential client or co-lender, and Moishe Alexander has been the successful President of Canadian Funding Corporation for over three years and continues to practice and preach his business process within his corporation. Alexander has a three-step process that includes delineating the overall framework of the project, outlining how much a client or co-lender is willing to commit to the project (including all the terms and conditions for each party), and issuing closing instructions to his attorneys and advancing funds. Due to the superior operation standards at Alexander’s firm, Canadian Funding Corporation has acquired over $75 million in funding from multiple co-lenders.

Please see the Canadian Funding Corporation’s website or Moishe Alexander’s personal website for more information regarding the company, or real estate financing.

Colorado Springs Short Sale Service Helps Troubled Homeowners Avoid Foreclosure

Colorado Springs Team announces a new short sale service designed to help financially troubled homeowners sell their home and avoid foreclosure.

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) February 28, 2009 — On February 27th, Jamie Mades and Colorado Springs Team launched a new Short Sale Service designed to assist financially troubled homeowners. This Colorado Springs Short Sale program allows homeowners who owe more money than their home is worth to sell their house (instead of having it go into foreclosure.)

Sellers who may qualify include: those who are currently behind on their mortgage payments, people who have experienced job loss, relocation, unexpected medical bills or other hardships. Owners do not have to be delinquent on their payments to be considered for this program.

A short sale is an excellent alternative to foreclosure since sellers experience much less impact on their credit report and have more control over the process. When a homeowner gets foreclosed, they currently have to wait approximately six years before they will be considered for another loan. The total foreclosure process can also take anywhere from twelve months to two years to complete.

A typical short sale takes between three and nine months from start to finish and the homeowner can qualify for a new mortgage in as little as two years. Additionally, this type of sale is seen by creditors as less damaging than a foreclosure, making it easier for the homeowner to get credit sometime after the sale, such as car loans or credit cards.

The Colorado Springs Short Sale Service benefits the community by finding a qualified buyer to move into the home. While foreclosures result in lower property values due to lower average sales prices and have homes sitting empty and neglected, short sale buyers are excited to get a modest discount for their home and generally maintain and care for the property, thereby preserving the desirability of the neighborhood and surrounding property values.

Colorado Springs Team is a full service Short Sale company that will do all the steps necessary to complete a short sale from start to finish. The will list the seller’s home with other Colorado Springs homes for sale on the Multiple Listing Service, find a Buyer for the home, compile and submit the short sale paperwork to the lender(s), negotiate the short sale on the seller’s behalf and coordinate the closing.

There are no upfront costs for the Colorado Springs Short Sales Service. In most cases the bank will pay to have a qualified Realtor and Short Sale Negotiator work directly for the homeowner to complete the sale. Colorado Springs Team has an exceptionally well qualified staff to handle short sales. Jamie Mades is a Colorado Springs Realtor who has 7 years experience working with banks to buy and sell homes and his staff have successfully processed over 200 short sales in the past 5 years.

With the Economy and Housing Market in Bad Shape, Hawthorn, Inc. Finds Home Owners are Choosing to Remodel Existing Homes Instead of Selling

With home sales taking months, adding value to a home is a better investment than trading up. Large home improvement companies aren’t equipped to deal with small jobs, and few handymen can deal with a problem requiring more than one skill. Hawthorn Remodeling Atlanta fills the nitch with Laurel Projects.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 — Repairing a nagging problem on a house, or just building a small project leaves home owners with limited options. Large companies aren’t equipped to deal with small jobs, and few handymen can deal with a problem requiring more than one skill. Home owners need someone who gives reliable bids, finishes on time, and carries insurance.

In today’s economic and housing slump, large projects are slowing down which has builders taking a second look at small projects. Hawthorn, Inc. an Atlanta remodeling company has found that the systems they have developed on large projects can be adapted for smaller jobs as well. Hawthorn has launched a small project division called Laurel Projects. Laurel’s work does cost more than if Joe the Handyman did it – but not much more and for that, homeowners get all the benefits of working with a well-established firm.

Homeowners understand that licensed work costs more; and the builder has to be ready for a flood of little details that are not involved with new construction. What makes it work is planning. Successful home renovation and remodeling require clear agreements, careful tracking, and skilled workers, intelligently managed. Laurel Projects employs many of the same licensed tradesmen that its parent company Hawthorn, Inc. has been using for fourteen years. As a result, Laurel Projects can handle repairs and problem solving, window and door replacement, built-ins and cubbies, patios and porches… all the way up to kitchens and baths. Projects requiring structural work will, as always, be handled by Hawthorn Inc. the parent company of Laurel Projects.

Hawthorn Remodeling Atlanta has launched two new websites, one for their Design / Build construction division that handles large projects, it includes before and after pictures of many projects from the past 14 years. This site, which will be updated regularly, contains a wealth of pictures from a decade and a half of additions, kitchens, bathrooms, master suites, and family rooms. The second new site is for Laurel Projects, the small jobs division that handles smaller jobs that do not require structural changes to a house, such as partial kitchen and bathroom remodeling and upgrades.

Hawthorn has also launched a new Home Improvement blog, FestiveHouse.com dealing with all things design, home, and family-related. This blog is written by Hawthorn’s co-owner, Deborah Coleman, a former writer at CNN. "As the name implies, FestiveHouse is a home improvement blog about enjoying your house and your family. Speaking along the lines of family, Festive House contains a bonus: a link to my Brother Jack Coleman’s blog about starring on NBC’s hit TV show ‘Heroes’. " says Deborah Coleman – Co-owner of Hawthorn.

"When you hire Hawthorn, we draw the plans, help with product selections, get the permits, and build the project – on time, at a fixed price. " says Steve Prittie – Co-owner of Hawthorn, Inc and Laurel Projects

Blackhawk Brings New Energy Technology to Sustainable Residential Community

Blackhawk on the River, a conservation-oriented residential community, announced today that is taking its sustainable development philosophy and putting it to work with the construction of their new River Lodge.

McCall, Idaho — Blackhawk on the River, a conservation-oriented residential community, announced today that is taking its sustainable development philosophy and putting it to work with the construction of their new River Lodge. By incorporating multiple new energy technologies, natural and reclaimed building materials and relying on an indigenous landscaping plan to draw birds and wildlife to the area, Blackhawk’s aim is to create a conservation-oriented community center that blends seamlessly into its natural environment.

One of the primary ways Blackhawk has been able to lower the River Lodge’s impact on its surroundings is by utilizing new energy resources to power the structure. First, Blackhawk on the River is currently working with a water furnace company in Indiana to design a pond loop exchange system to heat the indoor/outdoor swimming pool, spa and radiant floors throughout the River Lodge.

The pond loop system will draw water from Rock Lake, one of two lakes near the River Lodge site, and pipe that water through over a mile of coiled water lines to the Lodge. As the water is pumped from Rock Lake, it passes through a series of compressors, each raising the water temperature 10 degrees. This process, repeated 13 times has the ability to take the 34 degree water from Rock Lake and increase the temperature to over 130 degrees simply by powering a pump and compressor. As the water cycles through the River Lodge heating systems, it is cooled back down to 34 degrees and cycles back to Rock Lake. Once installed, the pond loop system will allow Blackhawk to heat and cool the River Lodge water over 380 percent more efficiently than traditional electric or propane water heating methods.

Paired with the pond loop system to cut down on traditional energy sources, Blackhawk is also working with IdaCorp, a subsidiary of Idaho Power specializing in renewable energy sources, to install a hydrogen fuel cell as a back-up power source for the River Lodge. Through the catalysis process of separating electrons from protons of a hydrogen atom, the hydrogen fuel cell is able to create approximately 15KW of energy with water as its only by-product.

In addition to using new energy resources, the River Lodge will also feature horse-logged timbers from Northern Idaho forests and reclaimed timbers from a 100 year-old railroad trellis. All of the structural beams were milled from horse-logged forests where beetle-kill and fire make traditional logging dangerous. In addition, Blackhawk was able to purchase all of the material from a 100 year-old railroad trellis that was being disassembled and replaced by the Forest Service. These timbers were cut down to 1-inch planks and used to side the exterior of the structure. A similar process will be used for the wainscot and hardwood floors that will be installed in the coming months.

Finally, to ensure a natural aesthetic, all landscaping at the River Lodge is designed to blend naturally with the indigenous plant life as well as to attract birds and wildlife. Herbs, spices, wildflowers, berry bushes and trees will all be planted with the purpose of attracting such species as hummingbirds, mountain blue birds, tanagers, red wing blackbirds, swallowtails, fox, deer and elk. In addition to landscaping at the base of the Lodge, a green roof has also been built to allow for herbs and spices to provide a natural roofing material while simultaneously providing the caterer’s kitchen with plenty of seasoning.

At its completion, the River Lodge will host 10,000 square feet of community amenities including a fitness center and spa, media center, conference rooms, Naturalist Center, recreation equipment rentals, catering kitchen, a heated indoor/outdoor pool with swim-under partition, concierge services as well as a large patio area with barbecue and fire pits.

About Blackhawk
Located in McCall, Idaho, Blackhawk is a conservation oriented 1551-acre residential community established in the 1990’s. Set along five pristine miles of Payette River frontage, Blackhawk is designed with environmental stewardship principles as its guiding philosophy. With a thoughtfully designed land plan, the Blackhawk community offers a limited number of home sites situated to protect privacy, view, and wildlife corridors. In addition, almost one third of the community has been designated as protected open space, including a 364-acre wildlife preserve and 13 miles of braided side-channel fish habitat. Built amenities in the current phases of Blackhawk on the River will include a 10,000 square foot community River Lodge with spa facilities, 7.8 miles of hiking and biking trails, 12 kilometers of groomed Nordic ski trails in winter, and McCall’s only equestrian center. Discover your private preserve on the river by visiting www.blackhawkontheriver.com or by calling 208.630.5070.

WicksteadWorks Named EarthCraft’s Renovator of the Year

Southface and The Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) named WicksteadWorks as the 2009 Renovator of the Year earlier this month.

Atlanta (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 — Southface and The Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) named WicksteadWorks as the 2009 Renovator of the Year earlier this month. The Renovator of the Year award distinguishes an EarthCraft House renovator that has gone above and beyond the established measures to decrease energy consumption in an existing home. The annual EarthCraft House Awards honors the leading builders, developers, renovators and manufacturers dedicated to protecting the environment through sustainable design and construction of homes, communities and products. WicksteadWorks is an Atlanta remodeler that builds to a minimum standard of EarthCraft certification on all projects.

EarthCraft House is a voluntary, green building third-party validation program that serves as a blueprint for healthy comfortable homes that reduce utility bills and protect the environment.

"WicksteadWorks has actively embraced sustainable building standards and pursues best-practices to achieve quality certified projects," said Daniel Harvey with EarthCraft House. "Frank Wickstead and his team is dedicated to responsible building and construction methods that lead to improved energy efficiency, sustainability and air quality. Frank is making an impact in Atlanta, and for that reason, we named WicksteadWorks our Renovator of the Year."

A team of EarthCraft House judges selected the nominees and winners for the EarthCraft House awards. The winners were honored at the annual awards ceremony earlier this month.

Since EarthCraft’s inception in 1999, more 450 builders have become builder members, and more than 7,150 homes in the Southeast region have been certified to EarthCraft House standards.

As an experienced remodeling company, WicksteadWorks is able to provide solutions for all types of problems. For example, one renovation project of WicksteadWorks was for a family with two asthmatic children. After the project was completed, the children’s asthma symptoms were completely gone due to WicksteadWorks’ renovations of the crawl space and HVAC system. Once the renovations were complete, the house became EarthCraft certified.

"Regardless of the scale, complexity or cost of a project, we incorporate the elements of environmentally-friendly construction 100 percent of the time," said Frank Wickstead, president of WicksteadWorks. "With all of our projects, the focus is on doing it right. Earthcraft does not increase cost, it is about improving the processes and methods to build the best possible project and take care of our clients."

About the EarthCraft House Program
