It Doesn’t Feel Like Spring, But The Market Is Already Sizzling

On January 18th, I listed this house for sale. I “pushed the button” and it went live on the MLS at Noon. By 2 PM, the first two showings were already behind us, with two more later that afternoon. An agent showed the house the following afternoon and excitedly called afterwards saying “they really love […]

On the inside they added laminate and ceramic tile floors, new light fixtures and a complete kitchen makeover. The […]

The Three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We didn’t start with a plan other than we wanted something different. It started years ago, in a far off land known as Iowa, when my grandmother sent me a $20 check as a Christmas present. What to do with the gift was quickly decided upon entering an antique store. Immediately in front of me […]
