IMHO * the REAL value relative to distance is from an AMAZON Fullfillment Center.
While reading an article on how Amazon is going to start delivering their own goods with their own AMAZON branded trucks between their warehouses, I checked the actual number of Amazon Fullfillment Centers around the country and an interesting pop-up appeared when I checked out Virginia. I knew we had at least 1 fulfillment center only to find that we have 3 and on the page for recruiting … (8 comments)

real estate: NEW Age Old Question * Directions v GPS
- 08/28/09 12:02 AM
For the second time in 2 weeks, I have had prospects who want to view my rental homes show up LATE for their appointment because of their GPS. Now I have BEAUTIFUL directions on my web site listings - directions from nearest large street/road with R/L turns AND there is a photo of the front of the house. Usually the wife has printed out my listings and the direction section is on the first page of the 2 pages.....meanwhile, the husband insists on using their GPS - either brought with them OR rented with their rental car.....1 prospect couple was … (10 comments)
