Clocks are turned back, the days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler. This year has flown by and there is so much to be thankful for. For many of us, November is the unofficial start of the holiday season.  If you will be shopping on Black Friday help keep the experience enjoyable and successful for everyone by following a few basic  Black Friday Ettiquite Tips . If you prefer to steer clear of the crowded malls here's a list of other great activities to consider.

November  is also an excellent time to put your house on the market! Seasonal decorations, aromas of pies or cookies baking, pumpkins and gourds accentuating your landscaping - all add to the warmth and appeal of your home. Give us a call for a free evaluation to find out how much your home is worth!

We are truly thankful for your business, friendship and continued support. Have a very safe and happy Thanksgiving!
