I have been absent from this site for a while. But I plan to start writing again weekly. There is so much that needs to be said about Real Estate. I think the market saw the MOST change in the 9 years I have been a realtor just last year. I have a feeling that those [...]
I am falling behind on my website. Life and work has gotten a little busy. We have had houses listed and sold in the meantime. However, we currently have SIX houses for sale!

Every home has undergone some type of repair. Some homes are even sold that are in need of repair. The best thing a homeowner can do is disclose all information about the condition of the home. Most buyers will discover whatever it [...]
I love this time of year. You get to look at the past and decide how to make the future better. A new year is always a great time to evaluate your life.
