Doing some spring cleaning? Don't forget to clean behind your appliances!

Better to keep things manageable now. http://ow.ly/UkzJ50rTuz1

Having problems with your new development condo? You're not aloneand you CAN get faulty features fixed! Most new developments have small (and often easily-resolved) issues in plumbing, mechanics or other parts of the home as people begin moving in. It doesn't necessarily mean you've bought a poorly-made property, but it can be tough to know whose responsibility it is to fix minor problems. http://ow.ly/wnaD50rS2Rh
