What happens when you ask a question, or make a comment, and the person that is supposed to know the business makes a statement that isn't what you want to hear? Oh I think most of us, or our clients have dealt with this one. But what do you do really.....Do … (26 comments)

Good Morning everyone. Hope everyone enjoyed the week-end, and if not hope you at least were productive :) I'm not sure that Mondays mean the same to a Real Estate Agent as they do to an Escrow or Title person, or some Lenders....see Agents don't all get week-ends off, so Mondays … (30 comments)
