This post is part of the Strong Team REALTORS Market Info Blitz. We’re heating up the Winter market by giving you three-months worth of the information you need, November through January. Check out the latest posts in the blitz, here.
HouseLogic.com and NAR want you to be more informed homeowners
The National Association of REALTORS has recently launched a new site aimed at giving homeowners the information they want and need to be more informed about everything from home maintenance to legislation that might affect them.
The new site is called HouseLogic.com
We’ve been poking around HouseLogic, and have found a lot of the information very useful. Since all of us are not only REALTORS, but we also own homes in the Charlottesville area, we are very interested in what HouseLogic can offer, too.
So what’s the deal with HouseLogic?
In case you’re wondering what HouseLogic is all about, check this out, from the site’s “about” page:
What is HouseLogic.com?
HouseLogic is a free source of information and tools—from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®—that can help you make smart and timely decisions about your home.
What can HouseLogic do for me?
With content covering home improvement, maintenance, taxes, finance, insurance, and even ways you can get involved in and enrich your community, HouseLogic can help you increase and protect the value of your home by helping you make confident decisions.
Why did NAR create HouseLogic?
NAR has been a champion of homeownership rights and opportunities for more than a century. Helping consumers become more informed, responsible homeowners is important to the stability and value of the housing market – and your overall enjoyment of your home.
From time to time, NAR may ask you to partner on issues or legislation that may impact you as a homeowner. It’s up to you whether to participate in these causes.
Will my information be shared? I can’t stand junk mail, spam, and dinnertime phone calls.
We’re with you. We’ll NEVER sell your name and contact information to third parties or partners outside of HouseLogic without your explicit consent.
How does HouseLogic work?
They explain it all here, but basically, you can create your own user account, and then put interesting articles and information into your personal “binder.” You will also be given “tasks” based on the information that you give and collect. There are options to take quizzes to test your homeownership knowledge, or you can just browse the site looking for helpful tips.
Everything on the site is designed to help you become a more informed homeowner. We’re always striving not only to be better REALTORS, but to be better homeowners, too, since we know that it is good for us and our clients. From what we’ve seen and experienced on the site so far, it looks like it is certainly going to make all of us better homeowners.
We’ll share information and articles from HouseLogic that we think you might be interested in, but if you want the full experience, you can head on over to HouseLogic.com and create an account.
