- 03/26/11 03:44 AM
Need and the Perils of Over-Pricing I sat at the kitchen table with my client. We had been in contact over the last several months as he fixed up the home that renters hadn't cared to keep up. They had, indeed let the dogs use the floors instead of going outside, and smoked like chimneys in the home. He restored it better than new.

My Top 5 Spring Cleaning Tips To Get Ready For Spring Cleaning 1. Set aside enough time to accomplish all you have planned. Don't create a three page detailed list for the kitchen and plan to spend 2 hours doing it.

The person down the road may have his home for sale; I may have an unkempt yard with some junk on the side, but visible from … (1 comments)
