1. Location - Everyone says real estate is about Location, Location, Location - and guess what? They are right to a certain extent. You can't change your property's location but there are things you can do to highlight the positives of your location. Are you close to schools, attractions, or a large employer?

What Is That Seller Thinking? Just Read His Blog to Find Out!
Have you ever wanted to know what the "other party" in a transaction was thinking? Well, you may be able to find out, and you won't even need a crystal ball!
