The outside of your house is just as important as the inside....if not more important!  The curb appeal of your house can give buyers motivation to get out of the car to look inside or keep on driving!  Additionally, the comfort of the backyard can help "seal the deal".  If buyers can picture the...

I have absolutely no fashion sense.  When I became a real estate agent, I knew my appearance would be a challenge.  It is a professional, optics driven business.  While I have the professional part down pat, the optics part is more of an issue.  I prefer comfort over discomfort, fleece over non-f...
