Tough love with a bite of reality for sellers in New London County serious about getting their home sold.
I've told this story a few times over the past year but finally my story has an ending. Not a happy one.
A year and a half ago, I completed a market analysis for a relocation company for a transferring client who owned a home in Ledyard.
