keller williams realty: Dave Jenks: Reasons To Be Optimistic About The Housing Market - 05/11/09 09:38 AM
It's not just the credentials Dave Jenks carries that makes him interesting to listen to.  He's a good communicator.  Jenks, a Vice President of Research and Development with Keller Williams Realty, has a broad knowledge of what's happening in real estate markets all across the country.

Jenks, who is also a best selling author, took time out to give us his perspective on how the 2009 market has performed to date, as well as what he thinks lies ahead.
