So you can make sure you avoid some of the mistakes that they make. 📲 The second thing, which I don't know many people do, because it does take time. It doesn't cos...

Do you know which two towns in Rockingham County have these trains on display?   The median sales price is the point at which half of the sales sold for more and half sold for less, not accounting for seller concessions, in a given month.

Today I will share with you 3 reasons why I love historic homes and helping people buy and sell them!  ❤️ I currently live in an historic home. If you look behind me you can probably see the beautiful brick. It was built in 1805 and it actually has an historic plaque on the front door. So that leads me into my first reason why you should buy a historic home. 🏠 One: they're unique. You're not going to find another home like this. They're absolutely the opposite of cookie cutter.
