This Mortgage Tip is brought to you by: the Jefferson Lewis Board of REALTORS®, Northern Credit Union and Weichert REALTORS®, Thousand Islands Realty. Now that you have a plan for getting out of your dwelling in an emergency, how will you be alerted? Hi, I am Lance Evans from the Jefferson-Lewis Board of REALTORS®. Working smoke detectors are an important item all residences should have. Ideally, they should be installed in every bedroom, in the hall outside of bedrooms, and on every level including the basement, but not in the attic or garage. They should be placed high on walls or on the ceiling and at least ten feet away from cooking appliances. These should be tested often and have a good power supply. Staying safe will help you Dream It, Live It, Own It in Northern New York. This Mortgage Tip is brought to you by Northern Credit Union and Weichert, Thousand Islands Realty. If you are building, buying or refinancing, Northern will get you the lowest mortgage rate GUARANTED.
