W ith hurricane seasonopening June 1, hereare some steps to help
keep your family safe.Plan Ahead – Ensure your fami-
ly’s safety by creating a disasterpreparedness plan in advance ofhurricane season. This includes as-sembling a disaster survival kit andplanning your emergency evacua-tion routes.
Secure Your Property – When ahurricane warning is given, closewindow shutters and attach protec-tive panels with previously installedfasteners. Videos on how to quicklyand safely board up your home canbe found at FLASH.org, the websitefor the Federal Alliance for SafeHomes.
Get to Safety – If you have not al-ready evacuated inland, and there isno time to get to an emergency shel-ter, stay in the middle of your home,away from windows and glass doors.
Take cover under a staircase or aheavy piece of furniture. Do not stayin a manufactured home becausethey are easily overturned in highwinds and pierced by flying objects.
Be Sure Your Home Is ProperlyInsured – Think of homeowner’s in-surance as financial protection forwhat the future may bring. Withoutan adequate policy, you will have tocover home repairs out of your ownpocket.
Homeowner insurance coversyour house, your possessions andprovides financial protection againstlawsuits.
“We’re here to help you preparefor the worst, by writing a policythat gives you the most protectionand resources after the storm,” saidJo-z Wilder, a State Farm agent inLutz. “I’ve sold insurance for over30 years, and invite you to call todiscuss your needs and concerns.”
Jo-z and her team can be reachedat 813-616-(JAKE)5253 and at [email protected].
It's never too early to call aRealtor. In fact, the sooneryou call, the easier and
smoother your home buying orselling experience will be.
If You’re A Buyer1. Realtors connect buyers to
lenders to answer questions and ad-dress issues that you need to knowbefore beginning your home search.The most important areas are:
• Understanding your credit his-tory and correcting any errors thatare affecting your credit score
• Determining the price range ofhouses you will qualify to buy
• Prequalify you for a mortgage,depending on your household in-come, debt and credit history
2. Realtors stay abreast of themany communities with CDDs andHOAs. We help you determinewhich neighborhoods have theamenities you want for your family,and make sure you understand theassociated fees.
3. We explain the overall processso you can prepare for each step.
We help you identify your “musthaves,” and encourage you to bepicky, because it helps us find thebest home for your needs.
4. If you decide to buy new(move-in ready or building), besure a Realtor represents you.Remember, the sales agent at themodel center works for the builder— not you.
If You’re A Seller1. Realtors can help you deter-
mine what needs to be done beforeyou list your house. Do not getcaught up making improvementsthat will not result in more moneyin your pocket!
2. Not sure if you want to sell yet?Realtors will provide a marketanalysis to help you make an edu-cated decision of when it’s best foryou to sell your home. And, forwhat price.

A+ Realtor Specializing in Pasco
TALK toTERRI
T erri Dusek stands apartfrom other Realtors be-cause she works with
clients every step of the way —from the very first contact throughthe close of the sale.
By design, she does not work aspart of a team, or have staff answer-ing phone calls and emails. Instead,she personally handles every ques-tion, and takes care of all the followup and details involved with buyingor selling a home.
“I’ve learned that clients preferworking with one person — the onethey met with originally — instead ofbeing passed off to others,” saidTerri. “I am always the point of con-tact and purposely limit the numberof people I work with at one time.This allows me to focus 100 percenton my customers, and always beavailable when they call.”
That one-on-one philosophy hasworked very well for Terri, who hasbeen a successful Realtor for 15years, and for the hundreds of cus-tomers she has helped sell or buy ahome.
Here’s just a sampling of the manypositive reviews Terri has earned.
“Terri is on top of her game. She isstraightforward, knowledgeable andhelpful. She worked very hard for usand made selling our home veryeasy.”— Todd & Cindy Caroline
“Before Mrs. Dusek, I had threeother Realtors. None got close to the
service provided by Terri. I am veryhappy with the transaction. A+Realtor. Very knowledgeable, verydedicated to her clients and honest.”— Mr. & Mrs. Moya
While Terri works with buyers andsellers throughout Tampa Bay, shefocuses on the Pasco market, espe-cially Trinity, Wesley Chapel, Lutzand Land O’ Lakes, which has beenher home for 30 years.
Terri’s love for Lutz/Land O’Lakeshas led her to become very engagedin the community. She is the 2016-17president of the Central PascoChamber of Commerce and an ac-tive Rotarian, chairing a satelliteRotary Club in Land O’ Lakes.
Terri’s interest in real estate goesback to her childhood in London, Ky,where her father was a developerand her mother sold the homes herfather built.
“I loved being around the con-struction sites, playing in the sand,helping to nail studs in place and lay-ing brick,” recalls Terri. “It was onlynatural that I became a Realtor.”
Terri is a Realtor for RE/MAXPremier Group in Wesley Chapel.Her expertise is in the areas of newconstruction, re-sales, luxury prop-erty, land and investment property.
Terri can be reached at 813-340-7973 and at [email protected],if you are considering buying or sell-ing a home and want to work withan experienced, knowledgeable anddedicated pro.
