There are two basic reasons that I consistently advertise in Homes Magazine. One is the magazine’s quality and extensive internet exposure consistently resulting in calls from interested buyers. The other is the exceptional client service that you provide – follow up, timely notification and ad proofs, creative ideas. Thank you so very much. Lorraine
