Our wonderful area is full of caring and generous individuals who give their time, donations and support to charitable organizations in our area. It is so overwhelming and inspiring to see these organizations utilize these funds to support those in need within North Eastern Pennsylvania and our local communities. 

One of the organizations I have had the pleasure of having worked for is CASA of Luzerne County. CASA of Luzerne County is a local 501(c)3 located in Plains. Their unique and truly...

FHA loans are not just for first time home buyers.

 

Really!?! Yes really... and that's a GREAT thing for EVERYONE! At one point in my life, I too had the misconception that these three little letters represented a loan that only first time home-buyers could use and only one-time. Boy was I wrong. My eyes were opened wide when I learned what the loan type actually represented. 'FHA' stands for Federal Housing Administration. It is a government backed sector that approves lenders who can offer...

Since the mid-30's ranch style homes have continued to be an American obsession. The architechtural style was introduced in California and from there it became a nationwide hit. The interest in one story living hasn't slowed. In fact, Trulia recently released data regarding search preferences and the number one style searched: ranch homes.
