Bill's Blog

I have not been blogging for awhile now, and I know that I must climb back on the horse. So this blog is just to get the rust out, so please do not grade me on this one. I feel a real sense that the market here in Michigan has adjusted, and that sellers and buyers both are coming to grips with it...

Having been in the industry a short time it really amazes me to watch Realtors work, r not work.

Life is exactly what you make it. I choose not to be a victim! The market is what it is. We have to improvise, adapt an...
