  • Moving this summer? Navigate the peak season like a pro

    (BPT) - Summer is busiest time of the year for home and business moves. In fact, an estimated 65 percent of the 43 million Americans who are moving this year will do so in the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

  • How to make your home stand out in a hot real estate market

    (BPT) - The residential housing market is heating up, but before you post that for-sale sign, consider making upgrades that add style and value to your home.
