I suspect you got up this morning just as I did and checked your email and checked for new listings on the Multiple Listing Service. As just as I, you probably did a little silent fuming because there's a new listing in a great neighborhood or one that is out in … (8 comments)
I have previously attended monthly agent tours that usually had 6-8 homes on the tour. Maybe I just didn't have a good experience, but the Realtor tours or Broker Opens I joined in on just weren't very effective. The agents quickly toured the home in just a few seconds, talked mostly about their weekend or other … (10 comments)

Attention Active Rain Community Real Estate Agents!
Hello Colleagues,
Hello,
Enclosed is the past 6 months of real estate market activity for Tolland, MA
I value all types of training, on-line, classroom instruction, and personal self help. My favorite type is peer education, learning from those that are in the same profession I am in, and know the situations I find myself in. 
I don't know why I hate it but I do. It really bugs me when agents let their listing expire and then re-list them under another MLS number so it shows up as a new listing with less days on the market. I always do a history search but I know … (65 comments)
