Just Sold - 190 Hidden Forest Ct, Gaithersburg, MD 20877It's too late for this beauty now.  This lucky homeowner saved over $18,000 selling their home with Houwzer.  This beautiful home featured 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms over 3,744 square feet.  The entry was a split foyer style but the home was a colonial style.  The main floor had a great flow with a wonderful kitchen with ample cabinet and counter space and french doors opening onto a gorgeous deck and rear yard.  Upstairs were 4 bedrooms and upper-level laundry.  But, it sold and for over list price with multiple offers.  Are you thinking about selling your home?  Let a salaried Houwzer listing agent tell you how you can keep more of your equity in your pocket.  And, if you use a salaried Houwzer buyer's agent to purchase your ne...

Montgomery County Public Schools Quarantine GuidelinesStudents will now have to quarantine only when a close contact with COVID-19 symptoms tests positive or had a known exposure to someone with COVID-19. The change comes as Montgomery County Public Schools begins rapid testing in school health rooms, which can help schools quickly determine what's COVID-19 and what is just a run-of-the-mill cold symptom. Students can only be tested if parents opt-in to testing. Before this change, any contact of a student who showed symptoms had to be quarantined until test results came back negative. Parents complained that this will keep too many kids home from school unnecessarily.
