I don't know if you'd call this a grammar error or something else, but it certainly detracts from messages.It’s a practice that makes the writer look like perhaps he or she lost the train of thought, or maybe did a re-write and forgot to remove something.But, perhaps that's not it, because I hear the same thing over the phone - even in answering machine messages.What is it? I call it “Too much also.”It goes something like this: “And, in addition, we also offer…”Other times, you see it at both ends of a sentence. They start out with “also” and end with “too.”If I wrote about my day in this manner, I might say “I’m finishing up copy for a web page this morning. I’m also writing an agent bio today too.” It sounds jarring, much like running across someone's wake when you're speeding across ...

Homeownership can offer more than just a place to live — it can create stability, flexibility, and long-term financial growth.  The key is is that it is a long term strategy and there are issues in a short term program.  For many people, it becomes a foundation for building memories, routines, and a sense of belonging.Over time, the investment you make in your home can also support your bigger financial goals.🏡✨If you’re curious about what homeownership could look like for you, send me a message and let’s talk through your options.#thehelpfulagent #houseexpert #a041726 #investment #dreamhome
