First, I start with the Recognition that something positive has occurred. Second, I add my Appreciation to recognize that the event is a blessing. Last, I top it off with a full measure of Thanksgiving to show my appreciation.

- 08/30/13 02:27 PM
How to Sell Your Home for Top Dollar? Invest in small improvements along with home staging. A wise choice on which improvements to invest in will have a clear impact on the final sales price and desirability of your home.

- 01/29/10 11:34 AM
