However, there is a big difference between thinking outside of the box, being creative vs common sense practices. Because even with out of the box thinking, there ...

People commonly think that all they have to do to get their house ready for the market is to call a real estate agency. That is a wise choice, but there is alot more to do. In a seller's market, it is important to have your house in top shape to get the best price, but in a buyer's market, it is imperative. As real estate agents, we ...

We just had a walk-in ask what it means to have "Contract Pending" or "Under Contract" on one of our real estate signs. So, if they didn't know, there is a good chance there may be more people that don't know. When I explained it, she asked "so, it is sold?" No, it isn't sold...yet. Contract Pending or ...
