Where Do You Need to Move?

August 2, 2018 by Steve Laswell

“When can we start the big project?” I asked Rita.

After buying our “fixer-upper,” we prioritized the home improvement plans. The first year was devoted to remodeling the downstairs. We like the challenge and this one was significant.

Perhaps you know Corcoran as one of the “sharks” on Shark Tank.  The American reality television series allowing entrepreneurs to sell their business idea and get funding for their startup. The sharks are potential investors.
