eba: National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents Press Release - 01/01/10 03:18 PM
National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents Press Release Here is an excerpt from the latest NAEBA press release that I found very insightful. Pay close attention to the statistics on appreciation and foreclosures. Working with an EBA offers more than a dedicated representative.

eba: 25 Biggest Mistakes - Not getting a home warranty. Mistake #4 - 02/18/09 10:05 PM
Would you buy a car without getting a warranty?
I think not! Even if you go to “buy a used car you are going to want at least a short-term warranty to make sure that by the time you get home you don’t have to call a tow-truck! So why should a house be any different. Our advice is, GET A WARRANTY!

Where would you … (2 comments)
