Furnace Owning a home comes with a great deal of maintenance. During the cold part of the year, many home owners forget to service their furnace.

Good regular maintenance will help with the efficiency of your furnace.

Whatever the problem, start with the simplest procedures. In most cases, all it takes is patience. What could be the problem? The furnace or air conditioner may have lost power.

Don't let the down-payment get you down!

Down PaymentComing up with a down-payment for a home purchase can be a major roadblock for some. This is often the reason for renting, rather than owning, a home.

1409 Adams St.Hear What The Sellers Have to Say About 1409 Adams Street...

We moved to this house when we were graduate students at UNM. The location is great. We could ride our bikes to the UNM campuses and to the hospitals we were employed at.
