Proactive HVAC Maintenance
It’s better to find out in spring that your home’s air conditioner needs to be serviced than on a hot summer day. For this reason, prior to summer, turn on your air conditioner and let it run so you can test your thermostat and make sure the air is coming out cold in all the vents.

Avoiding Common Seller Mistakes in Real Estate
A common mistake sellers make is to accept the first reasonable offer that comes their way. As a rule, you should plan to leave your home on the market for one to two weeks before accepting any offers. Why? If you accept an offer on the first day, you eliminate the possibility of competing bids.
