Houston, Texas (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

Social Networking websites and mobile technology have created new ways to communicate and connect with family, friends and businesses as well, however one Texas company allegedly went too far when attempting to collect payment for home improvement services. In addition to alleged contact via Facebook, Texas consumer and Plaintiff Lynn Kirkpatrick received numerous text messages, cell phone calls and voice mails that contained obscene and offensive language and threats according to a petition (No. C2011-1319A) filed in the Comal County Texas District Court by Weisberg & Meyers, LLC, Attorneys for Consumers. The complaint alleges defendants Homeland Septic, LLC and owners Justin Smock and Lawrence Brumbelow violated the Texas Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Texas Business Commerce Code.

According to court documents, Plaintiff Lynn Kirkpatrick contracted with Homeland Septic to perform work in his back yard on the septic system and allegedly did not accept or approve the work and disputed the final bill. Homeland Septic allegedly claimed the work was complete and payment for the services was due and despite Mr. Kirkpatrick’s disputes, the defendants allegedly continued to hound Mr. Kirkpatrick for payment.

Collection efforts allegedly included voice mails and text messages containing abusive, vulgar language and threats regarding Mr. Kirkpatrick’s family and home. According to court documents, defendant Smock allegedly sent a communication to Kirkpatrick using social media site Facebook’s messaging system, claiming he had placed a lien on Plaintiff’s house for an amount that was 3 times the amount of the money owed when in fact court records showed no lien had been officially filed and placed on Mr. Kirkpatrick’s home.

According to recent news articles, the collection methodology used by debt collectors has changed due to the popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and the easy access to user’s personal information these sites provide. Many social networking users are unaware of the privacy settings available in their account which could prevent unauthorized access by any “non-friends”, including debt collectors. These sites can provide a plethora of information to a debt collector including contact details, friends and employment, thus aiding in locating a debtor and facilitating debt collection efforts.

According to Mr. Kirkpatrick’s attorneys Weisberg & Meyers, LLC, Attorneys for Consumers and the petition, Homeland Septic allegedly committed multiple violations causing the plaintiff to suffer personal humiliation, embarrassment, mental anguish, and emotional distress. The plaintiff seeks awards for actual, exemplary and emotional/mental anguish damages.

(PRWEB UK) 16 November 2011

Sustainability and carbon efficiency are at the heart of the new build ideology – but where does that leave the homeowner of a 1960s house or a Victorian villa? Refurbishing existing features is a step in the direction of preservation and has a positive impact on our environment to boot.

Adapting an old house can be costly, but it needn’t deter the homeowner from initialising the process through reviewing the least costly elements. Zouch Converters’ new ZOUCHseal 100 is characterised by good sealing properties against water, air, sound, heat and cold. The product is an upgrade of its predecessor ZOUCHseal 90 and was developed as a direct response to the surge in demand for draught sealing products of recent years.

Up to 20% of all heat loss in buildings is through ventilation and draughts, so windows and doors should be the first port of call when evaluating home improvements. The use of high quality PVC foam sealant tape or EPDM rubber seals in joints dramatically reduces airflow between cavities without compromising the building’s need for ventilation.

Hard economic times mean that more and more people are looking to save money where they can. Draught-proofing is often overlooked – but it’s one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to save energy – and money – in any type of building. Full draught-proofing can save the homeowner over £100 per year. Innovators of foam, tape and sealing solutions, Zouch Converters Ltd are committed to the provision of energy efficiency solutions for a broad width of industries. This time of year sees increased sales of various extrusions for the window and door industry. When all is said and done, responsibility lies with the homeowner to demand these solutions of the trade. Research suggests that if the whole of the UK were to fully draught-proof their homes, as a country we would generate enough energy to heat nearly 400,000 homes.

John McGeough and Anthony Lamacchia are the #1 Listing Agents in Massachusetts

Waltham, MA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

McGeough and Lamacchia participated in meetings focused on critical real estate topics such as extending the 2007 Mortgage Relief Act, set to expire December 2012, which allows taxpayers to exclude income from the cancellation of debt on their principal residence.

They were also involved in discussions on ways to reduce short sale fraud, extending the National Flood Insurance Program, which ensures access to affordable flood insurance, and keeping the Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction, currently targeted to be changed or eliminated by the bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (also known as the “Super Committee.”)

“We don’t think the Super Committee should touch the Mortgage Interest Deduction,” says Anthony Lamacchia, “There is a lot of talk about eliminating it for second homes. That would be devastating to areas like Cape Cod.”

The Mortgage Interest Deduction has been a part of the federal tax code for more than a hundred years. 65% of families currently claiming the mortgage interest deduction earn less than $ 100,000 per year; 91% earn less than $ 200,000 annually. It saves families an average of more than $ 3,000 a year, money that is often spent on living expenses, home improvements, and other items that actually help stimulate the economy.

Lamacchia is a new member of the Realtor Political Action Committee (RPAC), which recognized him in their big screen display at a Convention event held at the Angel Stadium. The RPAC along with the NAR Government Affairs Team has defended the Mortgage Interest Deduction in the past. McGeough and Lamacchia hope their involvement in these discussions will ensure no changes are made to the Mortgage Interest Deduction.

“We applaud the NAR government affairs team and the RPAC for their relentless work fighting for homeowners and Realtors in these important causes,” says John McGeough.

Some of the major mortgage lenders had large booths set up at the convention including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, PNC and Wells Fargo. Their primary focus was building their home mortgage relationships with real estate agents, but Bank of America also set up a team of short sale escalation negotiators on site to assist Realtors with any short sales they may be having trouble with.

“Just like at last year’s convention, I was once again especially impressed with Bank of America for trying to help Realtors,” says Lamacchia. “It also gave us a chance to meet some of the people who have assisted us with our short sales over the years. Bank of America has had their troubles since their takeover of Countrywide Home loans but they certainly put in a lot of effort to right the ship.”

The Greater Boston Association of Realtors and the Massachusetts Association of Realtors both held receptions on separate nights at the convention.

“It was nice to be able to spend some time talking with many of our fellow Realtors who we do business with,” says Lamacchia.

The National Association of Realtors Annual Conference held more than 100 education sessions, featuring nationally-recognized speakers, trainers, and industry experts, to discuss critical issues of value to Realtors. Over 18,000 Realtors from across the country and some from around the world attended.

“It was a productive 3 days; we always seem to gain insight when we travel to these events. We have been getting more and more involved with NAR’s government affairs committee and it is proving to be worth it as they are a great group of people,” says McGeough.

Austin REALTOR® Brian Talley represented the buyer of this 5,923 square foot custom built Lake Austin luxury waterfront home.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Regent Property Group has created an extensive and informative luxury home lingo index, differentiating itself yet again as the best choice for luxury real estate in Austin, Texas. Designed to make the home buying process easier and more transparent, the page includes pictures to help clients visualize the types of products and features available in upscale homes, typically priced at $ 1 million and above.

Demystifying the real estate market and providing quality client experiences are overarching goals of Regent Property Group, said founder Brian Talley, who devised the idea of adding a luxury lingo glossary when he noticed his high-dollar clients were being introduced to so many new available features that were not part of their home buying terminology.

“I want to help potential clients browsing MLS luxury home listings fully understand what these homes offer,” said Talley, Austin’s premier luxury home expert. “We want to ensure that the people who count here, the clients, understand the plethora of options and upgrades available in the luxury real estate market.” Real estate terminology is different in many ways, he said, because Austin’s market has distinct features compared to other real estate areas around the country and world.

Browsing home listings can be daunting, whether it’s a jet-setting bachelor looking for a helipad and a theatre room, a health-conscious couple looking for an infrared sauna and a saline pool, or a family searching for invisible appliances, a home gym, and a dumbwaiter to make its hectic life simpler. The luxury lingo page takes all upscale buyers into account and includes features that may be found in a starter $ 1 million property in River Place or a $ 12 million ultra-luxury home on Lake Austin.

The alphabetized index covers terms that range from architectural styles to elements of design and increased functionality to high-tech home improvements. It is inclusive of styles and locations, such as lakefront, lake view, hill country, gated, golf course, and more. The page will be updated continually by Regent Property Group as new features begin appearing in the real estate market. Regent Property Group is considered the best luxury home team in Austin.

About Regent Property Group

Brian Talley is the founder of The Regent Property Group. He is ranked in the top 1% of selling agents out of the 5,313 Austin Board of REALTOR® members. Over the past four years, Talley has been a top producer, closing multi-million dollars’ worth of transactions for homes located all over Austin. Talley has been active in real estate since 1998, when he began his career working in retail development, sales, and marketing. He formed Regent Property Group to serve the needs of Austin’s residential real estate clients, helping people buy and sell homes in the greater Austin area.

Volunteers and an impressive amount of artificial wood beams for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition “Jusst Sooup” build.

Deer Park, NY (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

FauxWoodBeams.com, the largest online retailer of faux wood ceilings and beams, donated ceiling beams for the November 18, 2011, episode of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” For their 12th collaboration with the very popular home remodeling show, Barron Designs, owner of Faux Wood Beams, provided the faux wood beams that evoked an antique farmhouse look.

“It’s impossible to hear the stories behind these projects and not want to do something to help,” said Steve Barron, president of Barron Designs.

Dale Dunning started “Jusst Sooup” while in college. Now she gets up every day at 2 a.m., with her husband Ken and son Brooks, to cook for four Delaware soup kitchens, providing comfort to those in need.

When “EMHE” found out that the Dunnings were accomplishing all of this while living in what is essentially a converted “Jusst Sooup” storage facility, Ty Pennington and his team knew they had to help.

The Dunning family dream is to not just have a home for themselves, but a facility where they can cook on a large scale so they can feed more Delaware families. They also hoped for a space large enough to put micro-homes on the property to help people get on their feet and have a garden that can grow supplies for the soup kitchen.

The designers at “EMHE” decided that an old-fashioned farmhouse look would be perfect for the main building. Knowing the quality and realistic texture they get from Faux Wood Beams, the producers turned to Barron Designs yet again to create a king truss to unify the great room in the main house, creating an open, airy, yet cozy feeling for the Dunning’s new home.

“An old-fashioned ceiling was the perfect way to create a classic farmhouse,” said Steve Barron.

While most designers use faux wood beams as they are – the polyurethane beams are made from molds of genuine timber – “EMHE’s” designers wanted to create the look and feel of old farmhouse beams to match the Dunning’s dream of having a farm on the property to grow soup ingredients. Knots were painted to appear more pronounced and the beams were given the grayish patina of aged wood. Because the Dunnings spend so much of their time helping others, the low maintenance faux beams were a perfect choice.

“The faux finishers did an outstanding job,” said Steve Barron. “The trim carpenters from BZ Construction Services were fantastic. The people you meet on these builds are amazing. You don’t hear enough about that. The volunteers are incredible.”

“’Extreme Makeover’ could do another entire show on the volunteers and everything that happens behind the scenes,” said Barron. “It’s a real community that accomplishes so much in so little time.”

This build was even more challenging than most because it was interrupted by Hurricane Irene. For the first time ever, an “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” project had to pause to evacuate for safety and then resume.

The Dunning family/”Jusst Sooup” project is one of many collaborations between Barron Designs and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and it’s far from the last.

“Why do we do this — it feels good to give back. We’re a family business so doing something special for a family like the Dunnings – I can’t begin to describe how good it feels,” said Steve Barron.

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition – the Dunning Family project” will air 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT Friday, November 18, 2011, on ABC. Check your local listings for time and channel in your area.
