Tips For Being a Good Neighbor

December 16th, 2014 by tisner

A good neighbor might be characterized as someone who’ll look after your home when you’re out of town by picking up your mail and watering your plants.  You’d most likely reciprocate for anyone who’d be so generous toward you.

good neighborIn some cases, you might only be able to name one or two of your neighbors who would step up to that level of service.   Wouldn’t it be nice if more people on your street would be happy to make that offer?

The solution may just start with being a better neighbor first.  The following suggestions go a long way to improving your neighborhood and making new friends at the same time.

  • Meet your neighbors and exchange phone numbers and email addresses.  Agree with each other that you’ll let them know if you see something strange going on at their home.
  • Slow down when driving through the neighborhood; it will make it safer and everyone will appreciate it.
  • Control your dog: keep it on a leash; pick up after it; don’t let it bark too much.
  • Don’t park in front of your neighbor’s home.
  • Notify your immediate neighbors when you’re having remodeling done and ask them to let you know if any of the contractors cause damage to their property.
  • Let your neighbors know when you’re having a party and that there will be more cars on the street than usual.
  • Maintain your home and yard so that it adds to the beauty of the neighborhood.
  • Put your garbage out for collection on the correct day and bring the containers back in promptly.

In reality, it is fairly obvious; you just have to think of the things that you’d want from your neighbors.  Be friendly; don’t be noisy; offer a helping hand when available and respect each other’s boundaries.  Having a sense of community and that you all share the neighborhood can be underlying principles that will guide your behavior.

A good neighbor would be aware of suspicious activity and would call their neighbors and the police if warranted.  This might be something you can discuss with your neighbors.  Click here for a template to record your immediate neighbor’s contact information and keep readily available if needed.

How To Avoid Identity Theft After Your Move

September 14th, 2014 by tisner

The previous blog about preventing identity theft during a move dealt primarily with precautionary steps to take from your old residence to thwart clever criminals.  So you’re now safely ensconced in your new  home. And you can breathe a sigh of relief, right?

identity theftActually, no.  Unfortunately, there are clever identity thieves waiting at that end of your relocation, also, and your efforts to outwit them must continue at your new address.  Read on for more advice:

  • Once you have reached your new home, check to make certain that you have all the important papers and documents you carried with you—and immediately put them in a safe, secured place.
  • Locate and unpack the box containing your electronic possessions—tablet, IPhone, computers, etc.  Account for each one and consider changing your passwords.
  • Carefully look through your bank statements to make certain that there are no unauthorized charges.  You might also think about requesting new credit reports to be sure that your status hasn’t changed significantly.
  • Make certain that you are receiving your mail at your new address.  If you are missing any statements, checks, and the like, report those losses immediately.
  • Contact your old neighbor to verify that he/she is collecting any mail that arrives to the prior address.  Arrange for it to be mailed to you or go by and pick it up, if possible.
  • If you have to cancel any bank accounts or credit cards because of your relocation, close the account, cut up any cards associated with the account, and shred unneeded papers.
  • Replace the locks on immediately- preferably before you even move in, as the old tenants could still have keys.
  • Be diligent and cautious when providing personal information, especially your social security number, to new doctors, organizations, or schools.
  • After the move set up a “safe zone” where you store important papers and can work on private matters away from the eyes of visitors to your new home, repairmen, utility workers, and strangers.

Although you may not be able to protect your identity 100%, you can go a long way in ensuring peace of mind by being proactive, diligent, and aware, especially during a move.

9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando

August 7th, 2013 by tisner

The Orlando Sentinel has this great article “9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando!” It’s great fun!!

 

There’s no other place in Central Florida quite like downtown Orlando.

From its abundance of bars and clubs to its brick streets that line the surrounding neighborhoods, downtown Orlando is a special place that attracts a special type of resident.

You know who you are because, unlike your friends who live in Altamonte Springs or Dr. Phillips, you’re OK watching young couples argue as they walk home on a Saturday night. You look forward to the Sunday morning Farmers’ Market and the guy who sells the world’s best orange juice. And a quiet night out means going to the bars in Thornton Park instead of the clubs on Church Street.

For those who dwell along Orange Avenue, walk to the Amway Center for Orlando Magic games and stroll around Lake Eola Park every weekend, we’ve complied a list for you: ‘9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando.”

And if you have a suggestion for the list, email jbusdeke@orlandosentinel.com, tweet me @JonBusdeker or message me on Facebook. I’ll post the best ones here on my blog.

Thanks Jon!
