listings: How Real Estate Agents Spend Their Time on the Computer - 09/23/08 01:57 PM
In case you were wondering what real estate agents really do on the computer, I'd like to introduce you to my new chart.

listings: Neighbors Can Make or Break a Deal - 05/31/07 10:02 AM
Neighbors can affect whether your listing sells. They can be a positive influence, promote a sense of goodwill and exhibit neighborly conduct conducive to maintaining friendly relations, or they can have a negative impact, sending buyers running for the protection offered in a can of mace.
