I'm in the Multiple Listing Service that serves the City of Dallas and a number of the nearby bedroom communities. The number of Realtors who serve the area is about 17,000 and of those 14,500 or so are members of the Multiple Listing Service. It is always interesting to see how many listings expire after, say, six months on the market, without attracting a sale. It's difficult to place the blame on those who are representing potential buyers, when you consider that the listing agent and his client were unable to provide a home that would attract at least one buyer from the other … (1 comments)
Each home is one of a kind, if you consider that there are many things that make it different from others that are similar.
The house you have just listed may be similar in floor plan and style, even built from the same architectural plans and by the same builder.

listing agent: Do You Depend on the Luck of the Draw?

As the listing has ticked along, a homemade lattice baffle around the air conditioning's compressor has blown over. Day after day, it lies on the ground.
