Dear Family and Friends,

I would like to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I often get reflective during Thanksgiving and take the time to count my blessings. The recession has effected so many people. However, it has helped me consider who and what is really important. I hope you take the time to reflect on your blessings. Simply living in the USA is a blessing.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sheila

Build the Perfect Home Office

As more and more companies are allowing their employees to work from home, the need for a sufficient home office space is becoming increasingly important to homeowners. The following tips will help you create the perfect home office.

Create a House Hunt Checklist

Are you on the house hunt? Touring dozens of homes can be an overwhelming process for anybody. If you find yourself asking whether it was the second or the ninth house with that great fireplace, then you may need a better way to organize your observations. One of the best ways to do this is by creating a checklist. Consider ranking elements like the home, neighborhood and schools on a scale as either "good", "average" or "poor".

Prepping Your Home for Sale

Preparing your home to be listed can be an overwhelming task for some. But with "94.6% of Associate Staged Professional (ASP) Staged Homes selling on average in 35 days or less", according to StagedHomes.com, taking the time to prepare your home for sale is an important task.
