The holidays are officially here, but don’t let that stop you from putting your house on the market!

I recently came across a fantastic article on Popsugar by Maggie Winterfeldt that talked about the benefits of selling your home during the holiday season. She interviewed real estate agent, Matt Parker, to get his opinion on the subject and he made some very valid points-I just had to share! 

Time Off:

Benefits of buying property for your college student!

Let’s be honest- When it comes to college housing, it sure can get expensive! Fortunately, paying for 4 years of rent isn’t your only option when it comes to housing your college student!
