One of the largest stressors in selling your home is having it ready to show and if you are family with children the idea can seem daunting. Rather than fighting against the nature, or should I say natural disaster, of your child sign them up for the Clean Kids Award. This is a monthly award that I offer to your child for keeping their rooms clean. They will receive a certificate and g

Your home is most likely the largest investment of your life. Therefore, the sale of it is perhaps one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
