I have been licensed since 1992 and have seen a buyer's market and a seller's market.I will share my experience with readers and hope for feedback from agents about their experiences so I can learn from them. I will have some posts for consumers with tips on buying and selling and I will give them an opportunity to see my listings on line as well as all available listings in multiple listing service.
