My son (also a realtor) was checking out comps for a friend who wants to list his home. It's going to be a tight squeeze to pay commissions and still break even.

Those of us who suffer through desert summers in Mesa, Arizona, love to call our friends in the more "normal" states (normal = anywhere else) in November just to ask what the temperature is outside. Well, yesterday, it was 91 degrees (at least) in Mesa. I was showing homes in the afternoon and th...

According to the buyer's agent's cover letter, her buyer left my listing crying. Why? Because she loves the home so much and she knows it is the one. So what's the problem? She will never, ever live in that home. Here's the deal. If the buyer loves the home so much that's she's crying and saying ...
