Our lead story in this month’s Home Matters, brought to you through our company's membership in RISMedia’s Real Estate Information Network® (RREIN), examines how the recent extensions to the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) will help homeowners refinance and take advantage of historically low interest rates. Other topics covered this month include simple plumbing fixes that will keep your home sale from going down the drain and staging basics you can't afford to overlook this spring. We hope you enjoy this month’s edition of Home Matters and as always, we welcome your feedback. Email us anytime!
