If you don't know the game just stay in this market and sooner or later you'll know what I'm talking about. In this game (market) by the time you go through all the hoops and loops to get a home under contract there still is the anticipation it may all fall apart. The meaning of jackstraw: a narrow strip of wood, plastic etc. used in a game played by tossing a number of such strips into a jumbled heap and trying to remove them one at a time without moving any of the others. Aren't some of the deals your trying to make remind you of this game? We play it every day. Join wordsmith on Activerain. It's a great day to buy or sell a home.

I think life in general is the same as real estate. You can work hard and do well. Alternatively, so much is beyond your control, failure is inevitable. And we all fail at some point.

Life and real estate can be tenuous at best. However; I do feel that there are things that we can do to stack the deck in our favor...

Not really, James. Only have been in "the game" as you refer to it for less than 4 years, everything pretty much goes according to clock work. :0) Gail

I actually like this game. And you are right on with the real estate world like a game of jack straws.
