How you live in a house is NOT how you sell it. It takes a lot of work, and kudos to my clients who worked hard to get this house picture-perfect. Of course, the stager and the photographer helped bring it all together. ♥️ Several open houses this weekend: Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday.

Open Saturday and Sunday 1pm to 3pm. Some listings take a lot of prep once the seller leaves town. This one was no exception but check this home out. It's looks great after cleanout, furniture donations, some fixing and a deep clean. Great location near 175 and 295.

People keep asking me how the housing market is doing. This stat is for the MD in general, not at a county level.
