What does that mean? The answer is: it’s complicated! And it depends on the seller. But it’s... Read More
REL: Escrow and Earnest Money

Featured Listing: 9194 Windsor Lake
So, quick sidebar. I live on the water, and let me tell you, it is awesome. I have two dachshunds, both of whom are hydrophobic (awesome), and a labrador retriever who for some bizarre reason does not like to swim (double awesome). This means I get to enjoy the fruits of having a partially-fenced backyard without worrying oh... Read More

First impressions are pretty important, and boy does this home make a great one. It’s... Read More
