charlotte nc real estate: Buyer Agent Bonuses Are A Waste Of Time! - 08/19/08 12:16 PM

 The question really should be, is now a good time for you to buy? The answer won't be the same for everyone.
  The popular question of the "right" time to buy is (in my opinion) way too vague and misapplied. There's no way that there's ever a right time for everyone to … (4 comments)
