This is my 2nd installment of my RI Blog, the smallest state with a million reasons to live here. I previoulsy wrote about the State itslef and how it is divided into a bunch of very different counties that varies from coastline to country. And then my first blog about the individual towns would start with the small town I was brought up in, North Smithfield, historically significant in so many ways. But, But, tonight I was watching my favorite TV chef, Lidia Bastianich who was in St Louis, another great small/big city, and her show featured an Italian section of the City called 'The Hill." I was instantly salivating and thinking about our own great city, the City of Providence.  As you may recall from my previous blog, I was mentioning the great diversities of Providence.

"If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be punishment-as well as the prison." - Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment   Today my office was yet again put in a position to draw a line between responsibility in disclosure, accountability, and our job description. Where the line should be drawn is still unclear.   As a full service brokerage, we oftentimes  represent lessors, matching and placing well-qualified tenants into their properties. Over the past few years, well-qualified has meant, at a minimum, job history and reference verification, credit check, and confirmation of rental/home history.

I recently worked with a seller on a very tight budget who was hoping to receive top dollar for his home. He wanted to know what he could do to present his home in its' best light without any serious expenditures. Without any expense whatsoever, to be more accurate. It is easy to advise a seller when they are willing to dish out some money to get their home in tip-top-shape; it is harder to do so when the budget is zero. To start him off, I gave him the following tips: A home's curb appeal gets buyers in the door. Your goal for your home's exterior is to create a clean, polished look that says that your home is valuable and well-maintained.
