Back in Gainesville
GAINESVILLE, FL — So I’m back in Gainesville trying to get the house ready for selling. I had chosen a realtor who made some amazing decisions that would be sure to get me that “quick” sale. Here’s the short story:
Apparently my built-in entertainment center was something that made the house un-sellable, and according to the [...]
