Due to a recent surge in automobile break ins in the city of Dover, 40 reported in the last 60 days, Chief Calarusso of the Dover Police Department has put out a strong warning to the citizens of Dover-” If you leave your vehicle, lock it!”

Apparently no one is safe. These thugs are getting cars in peoples driveways! They are targeting unlocked cars. As Chief Calarusso puts it “Thieves are lazy,” they are not going to do more than they have to or do something that will draw attention to themselves. Again they are  after everything and anyone, the police are asking the people of Dover to keep a look out for people that look suspicious; people wondering around vehicles, people checking doors, peaking in windows. If you notice something strange, report it immediately.

The Dover police would like to get this matter solved, and they are asking the good residents of Dover for help. For questions or concerns the Dover Police Department can be reached at 603-742-4646.

In the Dover City News this week, I read an article about some historical records being returned to the City of Dover. These records date back to 1641 and were headed for auction on the Internet. The Document, which is entitled ” Town Records Of Dover New Hampshire 1641-1807″,  contains 1,110 pages filled with information on the settlement and development of Dover, which by the way is the seventh oldest settlement in the United States. The documents include references from The American Revolution, Boston Tea Party, the Declaration Of Independence, and the Nations first federal elections. According to a description by The Heritage Auction Galleries ” the records detail the minutes of town meetings and the actions of the Selectmen on a tremendous range of concerns; from issues related to land, water and wood rights to determining boundaries of land grants from the town commons and the election of officials and similar business,”.

A Gentleman claims to have purchased this piece of Dover’s history from a third party, who claims to have purchased them back in the 1970’s at a sale of unwanted items at the public library. In early February the man agreed to return the “Town Records” in return for IRS documentation, but has since changed his mind. This is now a matter for the courts to decide. The city does have possession of the records now but we can only hope that this matter will end well, with the ” Town Records of Dover New Hampshire 1641-1807″  staying right where they belong.

 I recently came across a problem with mold in my own home in Rochester, NH, so I figured since Spring is right around the corner, this may be something all home owners should be looking out for. I received some information from the NH Department of Environmental Services on mold.

 First of all, mold is a source of indoor air pollution and, in large amounts, can cause mild to serious health problems. Mold can cause structural damage to homes that can effect resale. According to The NH Department of Environmental Services, there is No Need To Panic. You should, however, be concerned.  

 If you think you have a problem, go searching for mold. Look for the visible evidence. Mold appears cottony, velvety, granular or leathery, and may be white, gray, brown, black, yellow, or green. You will also be able to smell mold(that musty, damp odor). Look for excess moisture or water damage. Look for water leaks, standing water, water stains and condensation, (Like a basement or attic). If you find mold, you have to remove it.

It is not good enough to just take the mold damaged products out, but you have to get to the source of the issue. Some common sources are:

• Flooding

• Condensation (Indoor Humidity)

• Roof Leaks

• Overflow From Tubs, Sink or Toilets

• Firewood Stored Indoors

• Humidifier Use

• Inadequate Venting (Kitchen, Bathroom, Combustion Appliances, Clothes Dryers)

• Line Drying Laundry Indoors

• House Plants

 You want to keep indoor surfaces as dry as possible. You can purchase devises that measure relative humidity in your home. You want to maintain the homes relative humidity between 30-40 percent. Ventilate, keep air circulating and a dehumidifier can help in the effort to keep things dry.

I hope this information can be of help, for more help visit www.des.nh.gov/ard/ehp/iaq/

Your identity is valuable, and Identity Theft is serious. Identity Theft occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it to commit fraud or other crimes. If this happens to you it can effect your credit, getting a job, medical care, and ruin your good name. It can take years to repair the damage that Identity Theft can cause. The most important thing to remember is, It Can Happen To Anyone.   Here are some common ways  Identity Theft Happens (Info received from the Federal Trade Commission):

1. Dumpster Diving- These criminals look for bills or other papers with your personal information on it.
2. Skimming- They steal credit/debit card numbers by using a special storage device when processing you card.
3. Phishing- They pretend to be a financial institution or companies and send spam or pop-up messages to get you to reveal your personal information.
4.  Changing Your Address- They divert your billing statements to another location by completing a “change of address” form.
5. “Old Fashioned” Stealing- They steal wallets and purses: mail, including bank and credit card statements; pre-approved credit offers; and new checks and tax information. They steal personal information from their employers, or bribe employees who have access.

Here are some tips the Federal Trade Commission gives to help prevent Identity Theft:

• Shred financial documents and paperwork with personal information before you discard them.
• Protect your social security number. Don’t carry your Social Security card in your wallet or write your social security number on a check. Give it out only if absolutely necessary or ask to use another identifier.
•  Don’t give out personal information on the phone, through the mail or over the Internet unless you know who you are dealing with.
• Never click on links sent in unsolicited emails; instead, type in a web address you know. Use firewalls, antispyware, and anti-virus software to protect your home computer; keep them up-to-date. Visit www.onguardonline.gov for more info.
• Don’t use an obvious password like your birthday, your mothers maiden name, or last four digits of your SS#
• Keep your personal information in a secure place at home, especially if you have roommates, employ outside help, or are having work done in your home.

Here in Rochester, NH, Identity Theft is not often brought up, but again, this is very serious and can happen to anyone. Visit www.ftc.gov/idtheft for more information.

Welcome to Paul Carrier’s Blog! This blog will provide you with valuable information, tips, and general insight into the real estate market on the Sea Coast of New Hampshire . 

Well, here I am! I’M a new real estate agent and, I’m ready to get going. So far my experience has been fantastic. I am an agent with Keller Williams Coastal Realty. Working there has been a real blessing. I don’t think that I could find the training they provide for new agents anywhere else. Not only is the training top of the line, but everyone in the office wants everyone else to be successful! It’ amazing! I have never been apart of a group like this before. They are going to make it easy for me to succeed, and I’m looking forward to it.

  I am looking forward to meeting new people in all aspects of this business. The home buyers and sellers obviously, but also the people that work behind the seems like other agents, the loan officers, builders, the list goes on. This is the best career decision I have ever made and I am looking forward to helping people in one of the biggest decisions they will make in there life. What an honor.

  For me, being successful is having the ability to spend time with your family. to not have to say “Sorry Honey I can’t make  plans with you.” or “Maybe later I when I’m not so busy”. Being successful is being able to spend time at the expensive home you purchased instead of all day every day at work trying to pay for it. Being successful for me will be when I see a  couple holding each other outside the door of their dream home they just purchased ready to take that first step into the rest of their lives. I can’t wait to be successful!
