Dear Rick,
Here's a new take on an old real estate axiom, there are three secrets to selling a house: location, location, and the kitchen.
We had you and Dillman Upton renovate our 15 year old kitchen in 2004. The experience was great. The results fantastic. My husband Tom and I got years of enjoyment out of the new space.
When we planned to move south a year ago (May 2010) and we put our house up for sale, we were nervous. As you know, the market has not been great and we had visions of the house being on the market for months.
To our surprise, the house took one day to sell. The first family to see it made an offer. One of the main features that sold them on our house was the kitchen.
Thank you Rick and Dillman Upton for a great selling feature!
