The Harmonious House Hunt - how to prepare to make it enjoyable and efficient - 03/28/12 02:35 PM
Reading clients when they are not clearly communicating is not always easy. And when different vibes (or none at all) are coming from two people, it makes it even harder. Interestingly, very often, those two people do not even know of each other what their thoughts are.
