CHANGE OF ATMOSPHERE AT THE POINT OF CLOSE Here’s a word of advice to the lesser skilled seller.

NEIGHBOURHOOD DOOR-KNOBS This is one idea I’ve been wanting to try out for a long time, but have never had the opportunity to do so, and because I’ve not road-tested it myself personally, I’ve not passed it on.
