lewisburg west virginia: The Last Four Days Have Been a Whirlwind
- 07/08/09 04:00 PM
Since July 4th real estate for me has been somewhat of a whirlwind. Here's a summation of the whirlwind.....

I informed her that there would be a lot of maintenance for this property, and may be too much for her to handle. But, she said the Lord would be helping her. The contract was contingent on her selling her South Carolina property.
BTW, like most sweet old ladies....she will talk your ear off..and she did....It took … (10 comments)
