Checkers the Game, Same as Real Estate?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Envelope Real Estate Brokerage Inc

You can learn much about real estate from a checker game; surrender one to take two, don't make two moves at one time; move up, not down; and when you reach the top, you may move as you like.I am not trying to make fun of real estate but if we keep things simple and in context, buying and selling a home and being represented by the right REALTOR* is pure common sense.

I like your simple analogy.  The problem I see is that we do not all start at the same level, but we do in checkers!

Robert: Real Estate is really quite simple and if you make the right moves and think, it is quite easy to win!
