Selling Historical Homes - RE15R07
Massachusetts Continuing Education Course – 2 Credits. Connecting a buyer to the “past” of a home can create value and salability. Learn the things buyers are looking for in older homes as well as how to go about discovering these facts.
3. “The bottom line is that housing is a great
investment — and a significant emotional
investment, too. Homeowners are happier
— with their lives, children and other factors
— and enjoy a greater degree of stability.”
