When we bought a resale here a year ago, the sellers offered to have the carpeting cleaned and suggested a national, well known carpet cleaning company that based on the name I would have used too. The sellers, though already out of the house, paid (honorable people) and we were really surprised to find that this company did at best a marginal job. Later, we called a small local company based on a flyer in the door; two young people showed up, looked at the issues that had remained, and promised that when they were finished, the issues would be resolved. They did an excellent job! While I agree with earlier posters who suggested saying that you live in TV, I also agree that word-of-mouth is your best advertising, and that personal recommendations among Villagers will count for more than any extensive advertising you do.
