realtor: Would Your Buyers Be Impressed? - 06/16/08 03:38 PM
Would you rush your clients to see this home? What exactly is this agent trying to convey? That the room has a window? Drapes? A fan? Some type of cable? Carpeting?
It certainly does not give you any idea of the size or shape of the room. Looking at this picture

realtor: Has DUAL Agency Run It's Course? - 03/03/08 09:12 PM
Some states do not allow dual agency. Others do. Is the trend towards doing away with this type of representation? In fact is dual agency a form of representation or does it really mean that neither the seller nor the buyer are being represented? When practicing dual agency how does a REALTOR® deal

The recent issue of REALTOR® magazine has an ad by a title insurance company with the title, My training was watching reruns of "E.R." overlaid on a big photo of a "doctor." The ad is pretty effective in that it certainly gets across the point that it takes more than "watching"
