I think this says a lot of how poor a job our industry has done in educating the public about what we actually do for a living. This is disheartening. However, the bright side is that there is ample opportunity to educate them! June 24, 2007 The Consumer Federation of America recently released data collected … (0 comments)
DuPage County Market Conditions - 06/28/07 12:35 PM
Definitely not smart to overprice in this market. The implications of pricing your seller's home too high means that it will go ABSOLUTELY nowhere. I recently lost a listing (to a competitor not to be named) on a house I valued at $250,000 in Hanover Park, having done a 16 page price … (2 comments)
