Google yourself smart

Do you ever wish that you knew all the information about a person or company before you did business with them? Lately, you can find a ton of valuable information about those with whom you do business, if you take a few minutes online, and check 'em out. For instance, if you are working with a realtor or developer for real estate needs, I highly recommend that you search them through Google.com, or Yelp.com. It is simply amazing what a quick search can reveal. Next, if you want to know an address, you can do reverse phone lookups online, and obtain information about people. Just enter the phone number and you will see. Also, if you are hiring someone to paint your house, help you move, or purchasing something from them off of Ebay, a little checking online can help, long before you've sent them money, or let them into your house. These days, everyone posts comments online, and you can bet that mom's old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is just downright smart thinking!

So, what are some good sites to check? I recommend the following: Google.com, Yelp.com, Ripoffreport.com, Angieslist.com, insiderpages.com. Not only that, once you google, the results may lead you to sites that contain extremely valuable information. Don't let your daughters get married without a Google!

Not only can you learn from the internet, you can save yourself time, trouble, and lost cash. Be careful, and be smart.
