EXIT Celebrates 16th Habitat for Humanity Home
EXIT Celebrates 16th Habitat for Humanity Home
Builds Benefit Local Communities
Little Rock, Arkansas (Grassroots Newswire) January 11, 2011 --In 2010 EXIT Realty was the full corporate sponsor of five more Habitat for Humanity homes, bringing the total to 16 completed across the U.S. and Canada since the beginning of the company’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity. At the company’s annual convention recently in Dallas, EXIT Realty recommitted its support by pledging another $313,000, bringing the total amount dedicated to $2 million to date.
EXIT real estate agents from across the continent participate in home builds and a portion of every transaction fee collected by EXIT Realty Corp. International is pledged to Habitat for Humanity.
“Generosity leaves its mark,” said Christine Ireborg, EXIT Realty’s liaison with Habitat, during her address in Dallas. “Something very extraordinary happens during the months of a home build as volunteers come together to make the dream of home ownership a reality; because home builds don’t just change the future and lives of partner families across the continent, but also those of everyone involved. Volunteers leave touched by an expression of love that they have witnessed, knowing that something extremely remarkable has been shared.”

Is the Mortgage Interest Deduction Worth It?
Ever wondered how much actual tax benefit you receive by owning a home? The ability to deduct the interest paid on a mortgage can translate into significant savings at tax time. For example, a family who purchased a home with a $200,000, 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage could save nearly $3500 in federal taxes when they file their tax returns. That is the equivalent of $300 a month back.

4 Easy Ways to Save Money This Year
Get control over your costs in the new year by making sure you never pay too much for all of those technology gadgets or products you need. ShopSmart, a Consumer Reports publication, offers the following tips:1. Check the cost: Before you buy, use the search engines to find the lowest cost. ShopSmart's top three favorites (out of 25 reviewed): PriceGrabber.com, Google.com/products, and Nextag.com. Or if you're at a store, use your smartphone to check whether it's a deal. Bar-code-scanner apps, such as RedLaser and ShopSavvy, allow you to instantly compare prices of the store with those online.2. Change the font: Stop using 12-point Times New Roman to print all of your documents and try Arial. ShopSmart found that using 12-point TImes New Roman font resulted in 27 percent more pages per ink cartridge than using the more ink-friendly option of Arial. Calibri was another ink-saving font, whereas Tahoma and Verdana were found to be ink wasters.3. Phone coupons: Get coupons delivered right to your phone. Coupon Sherpa, MobiQPon, and major retailers are now jumping on the bandwagon of offering coupons for discounts delivered right to your phone.4. Become a friend and get insider deals: Add some companies to your social networking connections to find more deals. For example, "like" a company on Facebook or sign up for e-mail alerts on their Web site to be notified about special sales and freebies. ShopSmart also notes following Twitter's @EarlyBird service for limited-time offers.Source: “15 Top Money-Saving Tips," ShopSmart (January 2011)
