advice for home sellers: Of Vicious circles, virtuous cycles in the agent/client relationship…

A few days ago I read a blog by JMac on Active Rain that really hit home. Integrity…maybe the missing link in real estate…for everyone. The post described how trust was something that had to be earned on both sides of a real estate transaction.
