Consumer or industry professional, we’ve all witnessed a listing that seemed to be for sale much longer than market conditions would deem reasonable. Most of the time, it’s a condition of price.

Seems like everything you need or want anymore has an App associated with it, whether for your phone or tablet. All comes down to what consumers and business people want. Ask and you shall have it. It struck me that the same is true for buyer and seller clients. It’s been a long time since som...
