Don't try to second-guess what a new buyer would want. You'll guess wrong nine times out of 10. It's better to let the price reflect that you have an older kitchen or bathroom.

I'm honored, and absolutely floored, by this. I know some of the members are guys like Doc Blanchard, Dizzy Dean and Walter Payton. I got a call from (Hall of Fame publicist) Glen Waddle and I remember telling him, 'Are you kidding me?' I had to sit down.
