  Spring has sprung, and so have the 'for sale' signs in many Edmonton neighbourhoods. The following are tips for differentiating your listing to sell your home quickly, so you can move out and move on with plenty of time to enjoy the best of summer.

Also, it's reasonable to assume that you generally want to be around people in similar life stages, with similar goals and interests.
