– JOEY PAL’S Questions;

He’ll do the comparison shopping FOR YOU w/ NO BROKERAGE FEES. The paperwork can even be electronically signed!!!!
– REPORT on what to do “insurance-wise” in this new year. Most rates are going up, but if you have your home insurance w/ your mortgage payment, you might not notice the increase in your insurance.
