President OBAMA, We've been kicked out of our homes, can we live with you? You have plenty of room, right? You are the one responsible to fix the housing debacle. You hand out money in the fall...they file bankruptcy anyway. Don't you realize the disaster that you are creating for our children

Do you prefer succinct blogs...or can you read all the paragraphs? I for one, love the interaction of blogs. However, with all the knowledge afforded here...when I see a blog that looks like a thesis...I keep going. That's me... Unless it is a tutorial, and it is something that I REALLY NEED TO

A RE agents survival is a short sale in disguise.... WHY? READ ON. It amazes me how many of the "seasoned agents" who go with the flow, who are astute enough, who realized the market was changing, and who adapted to this when it began...are still doing quite well. That being said, learning to li

It's a felony to sell property if you are not a licensed agent, at least in Florida...or if not a reciprocal state. So many times I have pulled up a listing from a non-Florida agent representing a bank as a listing agent. Do you agents know that you cannot list, market, or sell a property in a st
