- 02/13/12 11:46 PM
Paging single men and women out there who want a date. CNN just released today a survey stating that women prefer to date men who own a home versus men who rent. And men feel the same way. "In a survey of 1,000 single people, more than a third of women and 18% of men said they would much rather date a homeowner than a renter."

Realtors should give their sellers an idea of what the approximate proceeds from the sale of their property should be as part of their listing presentation because these are the costs that are normally overlooked in their decision making process or in the process as whole.

As I look back at the years 2007 and 2008 with extreme disappointment because of the changes and challenges which unfolded after the better times, I hold on to aphorisms and words of wisdom to infuse positive energy in my daily dealings.
