If you are like most, your rooms are small and have many walls dividing them up. So many decisions to make and not sure what room to start with.
Should you remodel the kitchen and open up the walls? Then should you replace the cabinets and counter-tops? What about new appliances and what color is the most popular?

Today we had day 1 of a 3 day rainstorm. I was at a WCR event at the Redlands County Club and the golf course is usually full of golfers and their carts. It was pouring rain and no one was around except the birds who were jumping on the course. You cannot tell but it was pouring rain and I am sure the bird were waiting for the worms to pop up.
Here is a picture showing how hard it was really raining. (12 comments)
When I first started selling real they were my second buyers. We looked at several places and then they called and said they wanted to put in an offer.

It was a quick transaction and the buyers were more than qualified so we closed fast (6 comments)
