About This Lister

I've owned and lived on the property in the main house with my wife and two sons (one now mostly away at college) for over 20 years. We've always rented and managed this apartment over the detached garage ourselves, with no brokers, and no outsourced corporate management. I own my own business and mostly work from home.
