Nina all good tips.  Purchasing a home is stressful, so anything that can take a little of the stress off is valuable.

George Souto ~ hi George... you raise an interesting point. When you're doing this day in and day out, it's easy to forget how stressful and emotional it can be for those who are doing it the first time or on a sporadic basis.

Hi Nina, It feels like winter here and everything has looked icy all week. I am already thinking about spring. I am not a cold weather girl.

Debbie Reynolds ~ hi Debbie... there's a reason I moved to Charlotte from NYC--cold weather being a big part of the reason. It's been chilly here as well, but not as cold as by you.

I love using these guides, too, Nina. I just set up the links for sharing through the KCM blog posts I share on Facebook and elsewhere. I also send it out to my prospect database.

Have a great rest of the week!
