New Team Member

August 21, 2008

After years of working solo in the real estate industry, I am pleased to announce that my wife, Lori, has joined me. We will be working together as the Ashworth Team.

Lori has helped me with staging my listings for the past few years, and has done a great job getting homes ready for the market.

She will be focusing on working with buyers, helping them find their dream home. She will do a great job!

So if you know someone looking to buy a home, please keep us in mind.

CO Alarms Now Mandatory for all Single-Family Homes

August 1, 2008

CO Alarms Now Mandatory for all Single-Family Homes

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas.  Because it is impossible to see, taste or smell, CO can harm or even kill you before you are aware it in your home.  At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu.  Exposures can lead to significant toxicity of the central nervous system and heart.

Because of its toxic nature, two years ago the legislature passed a law requiring all single-family dwellings to have an approved and operational CO alarm installed within 10 feet of each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes.  

The effective dates for the legislation are as follows:
- January 1, 2007, for all newly constructed single- and multi-family dwelling units for which building permits were issued on or after January 1, 2007.
- August 1, 2008, for all existing single-family dwelling units.
- August 1, 2009, for all multi-family dwelling units.
