I have flown so much that I have known the birthdays of pilots on some regular flights. One time when I was taking a couple of months off and trying to stay home more I actually received calls from the airlines asking where I was and if everything was alright. That is too much. That is too much because of the exhaustion that inevitably comes from the daily travel struggles and family life but also because of the dent it places in your wallet. I have found a method of correcting those issues, at least the expense part anyway.

And there are definitely MANY options when it comes to new home purchasing. It is, of course, the first question that has to be answered when a new client walks through the door: are you looking for resale or new?
