Pay it Forward - Highlighting My California Bloggers

We all have a subscribed list that we go to every day and read what our blogging friends have written.     After a few years of reading blogs, I have learned SO much, and not just about real estate.    Because bloggers can be inspectors, stagers, lenders and virtual assistants, there are many topics that get read each day.      I have many new recipes to try and have tried since reading Linda's blogs!

Linda has years in the business of staging, and has achieved many awards and held positions within her Chapter.  She does amazing work with the homes she stages with new and elegant furniture from the curb to the "back 40"!    She is a compassionate woman with a huge heart!      She provides us not only with her staging abilities showing the before and afters that show off beautiful homes, but provides us with GREAT recipes that are healthy and tasty.      She was born and raised in the Bay Area and has a beautiful daughter!
