Clean Carpets Are Important for the Health of Your Family
From Netty Parente: REPLY  To completely and efficiently remove all of the soils, stains and contaminants, you should move beyond steam cleaning. Here's why: steam cleaning first liquefies the soils in your carpets making it hard to control the mixture of soil and chemicals as they flow throughout the flooring. Statistics show that because of the difficulty, only 60-85% of the chemicals and soils can be retrieved. Oxyclean Fresh works on a different principle. Our exclusive low moisture cleaner is applied in the right amount, releasing and trapping the unwanted, which gives us the control needed to leave your carpets and upholstery fresh, clean, healthy and green.

From Andrea Romero: REPLY Our pool screen has taken a beating over the past few years and is in need of some repair. Does anyone know of a good repairman who can re-screen portions of the patio?

Your replies will be very helpful.

Quick Advice for Buyers By Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtors: REPLY 
Now more than ever, it is critical for buyers to enlist the help of realtors for a few important reasons! First of all, homes sell so quickly these days and if you aren't aware of them the minute they hit the market, they'll sell so quickly you'll never know they were available. Secondly, homes are selling before they even hit the market because realtors talk to their buyers about new listings coming up. If you have a realtor, they can be spreading the word for you. Lastly, the realtor community in Miami is tight. If two identical offers were presented on a house and one buyer had a realtor that the listing agent knew and the other buyer had no realtor, considerable weight would be given to that first buyer just because of the existing relationship between the realtors. So buyers, do yourself a huge favor and get a realtor! To visit my website, click HERE.* |

Time for a Change
From Lina Acosta Sandaal, M.A.: REPLY  Our children are constantly in transition. Our babies change from the breast/bottle to the sippy cup.

Please join us for a conversation about change and how to adjust to it on Saturday, February 23 at 2:30 pm. Preparing ourselves as parents can help these transitions in development go smoothly, so that we can focus our attention on the growth that follows change. Click HERE to register.*
