A Place to Call Home
My 93-year-old grandfather has gotten very aggressive and my grandmother cannot take care of him anymore. We placed him in a home and they told us that we had to find another place for him because they can't have him there with his aggressive behavior. If you know of a place that takes elderly patients with this problem, I would greatly appreciate referrals.

The Skinny on SkinnyGirl
From Team JAB
 | |
JAB's Rachael Hodyno, Kati Foley, Victoria Assa and Boo Zamek with Bethenny Frankel
|
On Tuesday, Team JAB partnered with Books & Books for a breakfast event with Bethenny Frankel, quintessential entrepreneur and author of several books including her newest, Skinnygirl Solutions: Your Straight-Up Guide to Home, Health, Family, Career, Style and Sex. Not sure what to expect, a crowded room full of sophisticated, chic women eagerly awaited Bethenny's arrival. She entered like a force and immediately captivated the audience by being ... one of us. After a moderated Q&A she opened the floor, and her responses to questions ranging from skin care (check your bottles: simple is better) to brand management (she has two: SkinnyGirl and Bethenny) were humorous, informative, and relatable. JAB President and Founder Boo Zamek felt that connection. "I know what she means when she says, 'I don't want to hear 'no we can't do that', but rather, 'here's how we can make that happen'."

Color Our World
From Anna Cruz-Morales: REPLY I've been working on the interior design overhaul for our corporate office. Now the fun begins and we are ready to paint. The office is over 14,000 square feet and work can only be completed on the weekends. It is a very open floor plan but we do have some offices, carpet, and the job will require quite a bit of detail work around windows, corners, etc. Office is located in Doral/Medley just off the Turnpike. I'm looking for recommendations for highly dependable, efficient, and quality painters. Someone with precise attention to detail is a must. If you have any suggestions, send them on my way!

Let Your House Take Center Stage! From Ashley Cusack: REPLY 
Realtors have different beliefs about what sellers should do to their homes before selling - painting vs. not painting, removing family photos or leaving them up, etc. However, there's one thing we all agree on. It's almost always harder to sell an empty house than a furnished one! People like to see homes with furniture in them so they can envision themselves living there. I've always been a big believer in staging homes. Finding the right stager is important and it's worth knowing that you will need to spend some money to stage your home well. However, that investment almost always equals more dollars for you when you sell. Staged homes sell for 10-15% more on average than empty ones and they also sell faster. If you're considering selling an empty home or your furniture is looking tired, you definitely should consider staging before you list. Give me a call at 305.960.5330 for more information!
