"Always work with a Realtor when selling a home. Would you hire a Realtor who has never sold a house before, knows nothing about real estate law, contract negotiation, or sales? Of course not – but that describes you. Don’t hire yourself – hire a real estate sales professional." ~ Ric Edelman

Heather, these are mighty big houses!  But they look fabulous enough to overcome any guilt about a huge carbon footprint!

I like the first one, because the second one looks like something I'd get lost in.

Cute name for a blog.  I wanted to see the what's not, but then I read your diplomatic address to that second part of the name.  Smart!
