Not saying degrees are everything but there is a value to a prestigious degree. 

Many run their own practices or are in senior positions in prestigious programs.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor that could sparkle some wall corners and do touch up paint?

For example, as Bryan said, the CCIM designation is pretty prestigious as only 5% of commercial brokers have this designation.

Is it OK to offer sparkling wine/beer or should I stick with non-alcoholic drinks?

If the former, the consider just making it sparkling clean and give it a fresh coat of paint.New knobs on the kitchen cabinets will often make a bigger difference than you'd think and not much expense.

That's why it pays to have the unit sparkling clean in every possible  way.

I could get $100 more a month and maybe attract a better tenant if I can get the kitchen to sparkle a little more.

This unit was sparkling, with brand new appliances and professionally cleaned when they moved in.

Now we have 3 duplexes in very prestigious areas, also a six-plex, 3 houses, 2 condos, we are In the process Of building a dental office , and 4 Studios condos, and I am purchasing a house in a million dollar avenue, this house will have an ADU in the garage.
