Dear Reader,

I hope the fall season is off to a great start for you. As the weather cools down in many areas, we often find ourselves spending more time indoors. When we use our heaters, ovens, and light candles more often, the risk of a house fire increases.

Welcome to our Homefront Highlights Update,

Dear Reader,

You may have noticed that in the real estate business, there are two kinds of REALTORS® — those who help you sell your home, collect their commission, and move on, and those who are truly committed to ongoing service to their clients in the years and months between transactions — the latter is the type of REALTOR® I strive to be.

This e-newsletter is another way I connect with you and offer value between transactions, as it’s filled with homeowner-related…
