Questions I Am Often Asked
Cupid has always played a role in the celebrations of love and lovers. He is known as a mischievous, winged child, whose arrows who would pierce the hearts of his victims causing them to fall deeply in love. In ancient Greece he was known as Eros the young son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To the Roman's he was Cupid, and his mother Venus
One legend tells the story of Cupid and the mortal maiden, Psyche. Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and ordered Cupid to punish the mortal. But instead, Cupid fell deeply in love with her. He took her as his wife, but as a mortal she was forbidden to look at him. Psyche was happy until her sisters convinced her to look at Cupid. Cupid punished her by departing. Their lovely castle and gardens vanished with him and Psyche found herself alone in an open field
As she wandered to find her love, she came upon the temple of Venus. Wishing to destroy her, the goddess of love gave Psyche a series of tasks, each harder and dangerous than the last. For her last task Psyche was given a little box and told to take it to the underworld. She was told to get some of the beauty of Proserpine, the wife of Pluto, and put it in the box.

Question: How can I make my house sell quickly?
Answer: Besides pricing it correctly here are some hints for showing your home at it's best:
Keep the yard neat, the shrubs trimmed, and the lawn cut. First impressions are important.
Keep the house tidy - not as a furniture store display window, but as a comfortable home to live in. Also, have the garage clean and neat.
If you have pets, make sure their living areas are spotless and odor free. If you have a dog, keep him out of the house and under control during showings.
Make all minor repairs, such as sticking doors, broken window panes, loose door knobs, plumbing, broken light switches, etc.
Shut off or turn down the radio or television set during showings.
Let plenty of light into your rooms to create a cheerful atmosphere.
