 Have you ever had one of those days when your just a step out of pace and things just don't quite work as well as you would like? The job gets completed but it could have gone a little smoother?

Jim was here on Monday and the temperature was 80 degrees. Perfect.

 With home sales in most areas of the country declining many companies and Real Estate Agents are cutting costs to make ends meet and keeping an eye on the bottom line is imperative to the survival of any business but where do we draw the line on cutting expenses?

menifee: Mr & Mrs Consumer: Please Ask Questions - 04/11/08 07:15 AM
 The latest statistics have been released by the Department of Real Estate in California and it should bring concern to anyone who will be selling or buying real estate now or in the future as for most of us our homes are the largest asset we posses.
 In The State of California 548,959 people have a real estate license and that works out to 1 license for every 67 people living in the state. With the number of home sales handled by agents in 2007 that translates into less than 1 transaction per licensee and 2008 will no doubt shrink those … (7 comments)
