real estate: First Time Buyers - 11/22/08 11:39 AM
Did anyone else notice that a vast majority of first time home buyers disappeared after 2003?  I personally noticed that many of them claimed that after 2003, they just couldn't afford housing here in NJ.  I'm talking about those young people ages 23-29.

real estate: Embrace the 1st Time Homebuyer. - 11/19/08 06:50 AM

real estate: Low-Tech Sales in a High Tech Market... - 11/18/08 08:39 PM
No, Keagle's market isn't Northern California's cutting edge Silicon Valley or downtown metropolitan Seattle, but another location that eventually passes its technology off to hi-tech powerhouses like the Apple's, Hewlett Packard's or Sony's of the world.  While those companies sell primarily to the retail market, Keagle - who admittedly has no real interest in or passion for electronics - canvasses a niche market in her hometown that practically eats and breathes technological sophistication.  As the nation's #1 ERA agent in 2007 for annual number of homes sold, last year Eva closed 270 transactions selling homes to the likes of NASA engineers … (0 comments)

But let's face it - when it comes to sales, the very lifeblood of business, your website is competing against only a few billion other folks who all want the exact same thing you do: the first page.
