The most significant improvement to “move this property” was a newly installed marble desktop and fresh coat of paint in a time-stamped, 1990’s home office, the first room buyers took in when entering this home. A couple of hours spent de-cluttering is always smart...

My client called me in for a “Design Perspective”.  She hated her floors and wanted my professional opinion.  I questioned whether I should be brutally honest, and her response was “absolutely”.  Then truth be told, “your countertops bother me more than your...
