When it comes to selling, there are a lot of little things that should be done in order to be successful.

Watch Lynn as she discusses the In's and Out's of how to showcase your home properly.

Back in January 2018 we became aware that there was a push for Realtors to be involved in keeping dwellings safe -  by ensuring that there are smoke alarms in every house shown.

When asked why we chose to participate, our answer was simple:

"The bottom line is, 'Smoke alarms save lives' and no one believes that more than us!

Along with our fellow Realtors nationwide, we have the unique ability to go through literally thousands of homes each year. In light of all the recent fires and fatalities that have been happening lately, we thought it would be a good time to throw our support behind this challenge. Whenever we list a property, we will be asking our clients to check that their Smoke Alarms & Carbon Monoxide Alarms are functioning properly, and for every home purchase, we will be providing our clients with a new smoke alarm. We believe everyone should live in a safe home and are happy to help in anyway we can!"
