Toronto, ON (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

Saving money can be difficult at times; whether it’s adjusting a lifestyle or that there simply isn’t any room in the budget to save. It is important to look at all expenses and identify how to save money on each expense. Car insurance for example, is an expense that every driver must have by law; but that doesn’t mean drivers should overpay for insurance.

It is time to take action on 2012 New Year’s resolutions. Here are a few ways to save money on car and home insurance.

Car Insurance Savings Tips

Shop insurance rates. The rates charged by insurance companies can vary by hundreds and even thousands of dollars; as each provider uses their own claims experience to determine premiums charged. That being said, it’s important to shop around for a better insurance rate. The easiest and fastest way to obtain free insurance quotes is to visit insurancehotline.com and complete three steps – to compare rates against over 30 insurance companies.

Review the policy. It’s important for drivers to review their car insurance policy periodically and make sure it’s up to date. Research any discounts that the insurance provider may offer and see if any apply. Also, has the daily commute distance changed since purchasing car insurance? Or has a ticket or accident been removed from a driving record? (Note: tickets are on driving records for three years and accidents stay on-record for six years.) Notify the insurance provider if any of these circumstances have changed as they will have an impact on car insurance rates.

Re-evaluate your coverage. Liability insurance coverage is mandatory for all drivers; however, comprehensive and collision are not. If a vehicle is old, consider removing collision and comprehensive coverage – as the car may not be worth repairing in the event of a car accident or vandalism. Also, evaluate deductible amounts – the money that is required to pay out for a claim. Lower deductibles typically cost more on insurance premiums than higher deductibles.

Home Insurance Savings Tips

Remove unnecessary coverage. If coverage has been purchased that will not likely affect the area, such as earthquake coverage, removing the coverage (especially in an area where the natural disaster typically does not occur) should help lower the insurance premium.

Increase the deductible. By increasing the deductible, it will decrease the home insurance rate – as the homeowner is assuming more of the risk if a claim were to be filed. An important thing is to make sure the deductible amount is saved and available to pay out should a claim need to be filed.

Research discounts. Taking the time to research any discounts could save money on home insurance rates. For example, if the homeowner is a senior citizen or if a burglary alarm has been installed in the home, discounts may be offered.

Another savings tip: Most insurance providers offer discounts if auto and home insurance policies are combined. Don’t forget to call the insurance provider and find out how much savings apply if both of these policies are combined.

Hopefully these tips will help drivers and homeowners save money in 2012 on car and home insurance. Remember to always research – whether to shop insurance rates, review insurance policies or re-evaluate coverage options.

Home Seller’s Blues Book

Portland, OR (PRWEB) April 19, 2011

With no housing recovery in sight and median home prices hitting 9-year lows, home sellers continue living in limbo — feeling anxious, angry and tired of cleaning their countertops. “It’s an epidemic I’m calling HSB — Home Seller’s Blues,” says real estate investor, Joan Gale Frank. To address these symptoms and offer new home selling tips, Frank wrote Home Seller’s Blues And How To Beat Them.

When her own Arizona home didn’t sell for a year, Frank took action. Rather than continue suffering, she called top Realtors, home stagers, landscapers, marketers and psychologists around the country, asking for their best advice on how to sell a house faster — and stay emotionally balanced during the long home selling process. Her research paid off. Frank learned to use buyer/seller psychology to sell her house, and she started enjoying life again while waiting for a buyer.

After moving, Frank noticed “For Sale” signs everywhere, so she wrote Home Seller’s Blues to share her successful selling tips with other frustrated home sellers. Her advice is comprehensive — from how to make your house look richer by installing a $ 20 polished brass kickplate to your front door, and swapping plain drawer pulls and light switch plates for classier ones, to handling midnight anxiety attacks and insomnia.

Frank’s other home selling tips include making detailed word changes to advertisements to attract specific buyers and emphasize why your home is a good investment. She suggests creating a highlight sheet of neighborhood amenities, such as nearby parks, restaurants, medical facilities, public transportation, and whether your area has a lower relative tax rate. She also covers win-win home pricing strategies, finding the best Realtor, and how to create a “hide-away” system to quickly stash messes before home showings.

Frank’s most important piece of advice: Don’t unplug your life — make the wait productive. She dedicates several chapters of Home Seller’s Blues to overcoming negative emotions using strategies such as 20-minute “focused worry” sessions and making progress in other life areas, such as getting involved in hobbies, cultivating new income-producing skills, and completing personal projects.

“Ms. Frank’s insights into the emotions, psychology and real estate strategies of home selling are right on,” says Alexis Halmy, a principal broker in Portland, Oregon. Margaret Hassani, a real estate broker in Tampa, Florida added, “Frank’s insightful tips are infused with humor. Moreover, she provides ingenious ideas that anyone can easily implement to make their home stand out amongst the competition.”

Home Seller’s Blues is available in paperback and Ebook from http://homesellersblues.com and from Amazon.com.
