Having successfully SOLD Home Matters, in March of 2015, Linda now joins her husband and business partner-Gary “ The Godfather of Staging” in a blissful- full blown retirement where they spend time traveling, visiting with family and friends and live everyday fully and completely. Linda says staging is forever with her and will never forget her ride.
