It is a sickness of sorts, no doubt it, this fixing up and selling homes bug. I had it for a while, and although you never really get cured or over it, it can settle itself down in time. Of course, selling homes for a living, I'm in the thick of it. It's hard for me not to point out to a seller t

One of the first jobs I ever had in my life was selling newspaper subscriptions door to door. It was for the paper my mother worked at, the Circulating Pines, in Circle Pines, Minnesota. The editors decided to hold a contest and award a brand new Schwinn Bicycle to the kid who sold the most subsc
