After 73 days from our accepted offer. After a terrible ordeal for my client refinancing his current home. After 2 extensions. After a TV being dumped in the back yard. After problems with the inspection (because the heater didn't work and it was freezing outside). After the client leaving

We took in a stray. Unfortunately my cat hates him. He has been hanging around our neighborhood for years. I know who his daddy must of been because he has extra toes. He is a very handsome creature who our housemate has tamed. The lady next door used to feed him but she has dementia and do

Happy Valentine's day. When you love and cherish someone you often want to make a home together. I wonder how many people will get engaged today? I would like to think that Valentine's day is about love not lust. The two can be related. It is good to remember to treat your life partner wit
