Thanks Jessica. Yes, we do work hard. Much of it is behinds the scene. For example on HUD sales, the buyer's broker/agent must accompany the buyer's inspector for the inspection. 3-4 hours. HUD does not allow the inspector to have the CBS code for lockbox. Our work is never done

Laughing at the HGTV one. I have actually had clients recommend how I negotiate based on what they have seen done on TV.
