website: Spam Filters Costing You Business? - 04/15/07 04:33 PM
No doubt about it, spam is a hassle! But spam filters can be, too.I've not been able to figure out exactly the the big ISPs construct their spam filters, because I still get loads of offers to split that Nigerian $25 Million, enlarge strategic portions of my anatomy, or provide me … (10 comments)

That must be what some folks are thinking. Scan any real estate magazine, or run through a list of email addresses at your local board, and it's amazing what you'll find!

website: FAQ - Auction - Part II - 04/12/07 09:36 PM
Are all properties suitable for auction? Most properties, but certainly not all, are saleable by auction. Some property that has been on the market too long, causing prospective buyers to consider it "tainted." Or a home that was poorly constructed or planned. These types of properties don't sell well by any … (3 comments)
