OK, my client is waiting to hear back on the Radon testing.  I explained t her that there is nothing much we can do until the test comes back.  I said not to worry about something you can not control.  If it comes back over the acceptable limit we can always negotiate with the buyers as to who wi...

I just saw a window company over at my neighbors house the other day.  I asked him if he was getting new windows to take advantage of the $1500 tax credit.  He said yes to the new windows but no to the credit.  He informed me that he had some broken seals on some windows and that they were going ...
