In advertising, there is a saying, "REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION"
Here's a question to

We can look at this information in different ways, and probably come to different conclusions.

Being new to the Bay area, having sold my house in Orlando, not really knowing anyone except my parents, sister and nephew, and starting anew as a REALTOR, I didn't know where and how to begin!
"Homeless, jobless and friendless" were three words I used to describe myself when I

This is one of those times when I wish I have an assistant who can do all of these things....shoot pictures, create video tour, post on various websites. It's late at night, and while I'm watching TV, I'm posting this on as many sites as I can.

If you can't fight them, join them...orCORRECT them!
I occasionally visit Zillow to check the value of my property which can rise and dip $50K-75K within any given week. So yes, I admit...I look at Zillow.
