Good points Christine! Beautiful colors on your background photos.
Do you mind telling me how you made the registered mark after Realtor (R)??? I've tried what I thought was the correct key-stroke and it has not worked when I write a post. Any suggestions?

Christine, thanks for good tips on increasing values. (some reason #4 would need more info, I guess. We analytics - think a lot...lol)
Just to set the expectation right, I tell the sellers that even if it does not increase the value of a home, it surely helps sell the home quicker.
