  From the time I was a little girl, my father taught me the value of home maintenance. My dad was a Landlord. Every summer I helped my dad with home maintenance projects. I could never understand why every time a tenant left there was 10 times or more work that needed to be done before the new tenant could move in.    I've been a home owner for more than 35 years and a REALTOR® for more than 11 years. If there's one thing I know for certain, with home ownership comes responsibility and accountability. For better or worse, until SOLD (or repossessed) do you part.   Below are my own personal quotes as a result of life long learning. I was inspired to write these quotes as a result of a home I saw under construction this morning on August 21, 2014.     This home is located in the Historic... 08/21/2014
