A. or B.? I've noticed, more and more, you see Realtors advertising themselves instead of the homes their clients hire them to sell. The Star Advertiser in Honolulu is out of control. If I were a consumer looking through the Sunday paper here for a property to buy, it's very difficult to tell what is what. There are many more photos of Realtors than there are properties for sale. From a visual standpoint, it's become more of a "Who Has the Best Photo of Themselves" section instead of … (10 comments)
realtor: Does having a lot of listings mean that one is a successful Realtor?

It's an organization I'm … (0 comments)
realtor: There are Still Great Buys Out There in a Slowing Market
- 01/28/08 05:42 PM
I was fortunate enough to be featured yesterday in 2 articles in the business section of the Star Bulletin titled: "Distressed isle properties offer value" and "High home prices help offset rising foreclosure rate" Both articles featured success stories where I was able to find my clients great homes in this market place.
