Homeownership Still the American Dream
After the harrowing challenges experienced by so many homeowners over the last few years, many housing experts had predicted that the belief in homeownership as a major element of the American Dream would soon die.

Ask O: Who Do I Choose?
Dear Olivia,
I have a family friend who is a Realtor. I like her and she is a help but she gives me one price to sell my home for and I think it is too low. So I called another agent who suggested a price more in line with my expectations. Who do I choose?

Realities of Home Maintenance
Home maintenance is not only important when getting ready to sell your home, but is important to maintain your home’s value and condition on a day-to-day basis.
