business and ethics: Still Like Reading The Newspaper ~ In Print - 04/09/09 11:07 AM

Grandpa Long and I sat together many times on his screened porch reading the paper. We learned a lot about our world then .. talking, listening, and arguing some ... with an idea that we were … (16 comments)

business and ethics: WHAT'S EXPECTED? THE GOOD REALTOR AGENT - 09/09/08 11:40 AM
There are some very good Realtors and real estate agents out there ... who always seem to be involved with helping their friends and clients.
When hiring a Realtor agent to help you buy your next home ... or help you sell your home and property ... you should find one to trust ... and one who listens to what you have to say.
The Realtor should be able to go the extra mile to help make your purchase or sale appear to be smooth. This agent should help you set aside the emotion of the situation and be objective.
