Why is it so difficult to get an agent who presents an offer that knows what they are doing. I spoke to an agent that had clients that loved one of my listings.

I don't know what it is that floats your boats but for me it is getting out on the road and riding through the wind. I enjoy it very much and it's a great time to think. I am heading down to Key West this weekend coming and looking forward to it. It may be fishing, golf, flying but there has to b...

I find it extremely important to have someone answer your phone calls over the weekend. There are agents working and even buyers who will call you on your listed properties. It is important to get the phones answered and calls returned within 30 minutes at least. My assistant and I rotate weekend...
