I spend a lot of time on Facebook, Google + and Twitter, but mostly Facebook.

When the market crashed in 2008 I wasn't ready, but I was fortunate. At the time I had been licensed for about 5 years and had worked hard at creating my business.

Why didn't they just "counter?" Lets go there and pick apart what makes you, your offer and your agent a potential dumbas...

Should I list my home with a Realtor who doesn't work on Sunday's? I wouldn't. It's like hiring a nurse who passes out at the site of needles. Clearly she's in the wrong profession. It sort of reminds me of the restaurant that doesn't serve wine or spirits. What's the point? Real estate is a 7 da...

Last Monday morning I received an offer on one of my listings. By the end of the day it was negoitiated and signed by all parties. The following morning I got a call from an agent named Betty Bookmark who asked, "Did you get the offer I sent yesterday?!" My answer was "No."I checked my spam folde...
