It always happens to other people, but not me...
OK, it happened to me! Someone racked thousands of $$$$$ on my credit card...in one day!!!! I have seen this happen so much in my profession - a buyer will get a surprise from the lender: It seems there are some issues with their mortgage because of an identity theft issue. Amazing how often it happens.
Well apparently, yesterday I was in Great Britain, Spain, AND Minnesota charging up my credit card - you know, buying all the usual: computer equipment, tuition, etc. Geez! Luckily, I did nip it in the bud, but only because I happen to be paying bills yesterday and noticed all the charges coming through online - yikes!
The lesson: not sure? Check your accounts often! I did not lose my card and I cross cut shred everything and then mix it in with food scraps for composting. This was not my fault so I now know it can happen to anyone.

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.
