Agents and BIG EGOS… a Sad Combo
I have a problem…well…my buyers do. I have a transaction in escrow now that is an owner/agent. For those of you who don’t know what that means…it means the seller/owner of the property is also the listing agent. This person listed the vacant home and we quickly made an offer on it which was accepted. […]
Report Card for Veterans Charities…Who do YOU Donate to?
In honor of Veteran’s Day I thought this was information worth posting. It is sad the charitable groups I have donated to in the past rate F’s!

PLEASE…Do Not Start PUSHING Christmas ALREADY!!!
