Elders sometimes need a little help
October 4, 2017

They helped in preparing the house to be sold: sale, closing etc in 90 days. Elder people sometimes need help. Years between moves, you don’t know who to call and then have to set appointments etc. It gets very stressful. They took care of all that.
