Jim At The Top (Jim Pedicord) Blog. Saturday, June 15, 2013. Do You Have A Trouble-Free Home? I was thinking about how many of the seemingly peripheral parts of the home buying and selling process people tend to short change. Is it to save a buck when so many of them (bucks) seem like they are going away, or are they just lost in the shuffle when there are so many things to do to get the transaction closed?

Jim At The Top (Jim Pedicord) Blog. Friday, May 10, 2013. Are You A Gambler? Are You A Gambler?

Jim At The Top (Jim Pedicord) Blog. Friday, August 22, 2014. Open Floor Plans - Pros and Cons.
