Good morning! I hope you're well. Today I'm excited! I'm all fired up! Yesterday I heard that Brian Buffini was going to be in town for a 1/2 day seminar.

Good morning! I hope you're well. I wanted to throw out there when can we expect a real estate recovery? What do I mean by this? When will we see the purchase market take off again? Or at least show signs of life where a realtor has a year where they're doing more than one transaction/month. Now ...

Good morning! It's really windy this am. I think I prefer the rain! In a Seattle Times article earlier this week, Bellevue, WA. was mentioned as home sales were up markedly as compared to the rest of the region. This is good news for sellers and also for buyers.
