What qualities should a REALTOR possess? Maybe a few past Dayton Ohio area clients and colleagues should have these types of things to say... “Christina did a great job for us. We are very picky whom wehire as many realtors add little value and do not want to put in the extraeffort to go above and beyond.

She was very warm andengaging. We then asked her to represent us. She did an awesome job, eventhough we were fairly demanding and helped us into the house of our dreams. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.” Jeremy Schans, Springboro Ohio Home Buyer “Went house hunting during the winter with littl... 01/18/2013

But the factors grossly skewing their heating bills are also significantly contributing to their cooling costs during summer months as well!  Most home owners simply overlook this fact as the rise in electricity is seemingly gradual, but oh so sneaky!  Only a few homeowners become slightly aware of exorbitant electrical costs when something begins to fail... usually their air conditioner.    This high end home had no outwardly visible indications of anything amiss.  In fact, the wall with the three yellow stud bays was an interior part... 07/25/2011
