This has been a crazy week, without much time for me to write blog posts, but I was able to read a bunch. And here are some that I liked the best:

Jay & Michelle Lieberman: Differences Between Granite, Marble and Quartz Material It's not granite. It's Silestone! Now you'll know the difference.

Carla Muss-Jacobs: We Came To See Your House . . . Not Visit With You . . . . Sorry! Oh, Carla! They just want to help!

Debbie Gartner: Customer: "We want to put laminate on top of hardwood." Me: Are you sure?? This is why Debbie is so successful.

Gary Woltal: There's Nothing Wrong With The Simple Life I've been thinking about this a lot lately!

Chris Ann Cleland: Just Because a Bad Idea Worked, Doesn't Mean You Should Repeat It She really makes a point!

Carol Culkin: Will you settle for the house that is only 85% of your home search criteria? This is a good one to share with buyers.

Kathleen Daniels: Homeowners Insurance - What You Don't Know Can Cost You Thousands! I didn't know this stuff!

Lisa Von Domek: Knowledge Learned I liked this post about learning an knowledge and why it can never stop.

John McCormack: Solitude & Tranquility Beautiful photo! And I hope John and Debbie are having a really fun weekend.

And Cindy Jones: Curb Appeal On Your Northern Virginia Home Isn't Just At Eye Level I always forget this!

So that's it! Unlike my blog buddy John McCormack, I have to work today - and it's because of a referral he sent me over a year ago! So I'm signing off. Happy blogging, and I'll see you next week.
