Recent preliminary studies have shown elevated levels of radon in the Prince George area and for that reason, the BC Lung Association is offering free testing kits to residents.

What is Radon? “[It] is a radioactive, invisible, odorless gas that can seep into your home through cracks in floors, walls and foundations. You can't see radon. You can't smell it or taste it. But when radon seeps into a closed-in space like a house, it can be harmful”. Find out more information here

 

Here is a link to the press release detailing the study that provides free kits http://www.bc.lung.ca/mediaroom/news_releases/nr_1_2014.html
 
Here is a link to the Prince George brochure which contains contact information and details on how to get your free kit. http://www.radonaware.ca/indoor-radon-studies/prince-george

How to Save Thousands On Your Mortgage Renewal

By
What could you do with an extra $15,000? If I were to offer you a cheque for $15,000 or even $2300 in exchange for a few documents would you turn in down because it was easier to simply renew your mortgage at your current lender? There are numerous published reports that confirm that most borrowers simply sign and return their bank's offer letter upon their mortgage renewal. More often than not, the rates they offer you are not the lowest available rates and they are definitely not as low as a Mortgage Broker could get you. If you take it upon yourself, you may very well be able to negotiate a better rate with them but how will you know if it is the best you can get? Here is an example… If your lender is offering you 4.24% for a 5 year fixed on a $250,000 mortgage* you would be paying roughly $15,600 more in interest than the standard 2.89% that most brokers are offering for the same term.    Now let’s say you negotiated with your lender and they were willing to drop you...
