  I have a bone to pick with all those REO agents....I am wondering why most of them don't have more than the front of the house picture on our MLS system.  Don't they have assistants that can take care of that kind of grunt work.  Why can't they take the time to take more than one picture.  It w...

For most of you that think that yes think again.  There are areas in Southern California where buyers are coming competing with lots of other buyers for the same property.  Don't get me wrong there are still properties that are overpriced and those are the ones where they have been listed for ove...

We often get told that real estate agents get paid way too much.  If you feel that way then you don't know what our job consists of.  Working with a buyer in this type of market is harder than it seems.  Considering gas prices you better have a well quallified approved buyer in your car before yo...
