 Evey year I am in a tizzy when it comes to holiday tipping.  Who to tip and how much to give are always the questions.  I know that most of services provided to me all year are by people who are in low paying jobs.  They rely on the their end of the year presents.  According to Eillen Powell of ...

Well, the low bidders are back!  Their broker called last evening and raised their bid by $10,000.  I called my clients and we had a frank discussion about the present real estate market conditions.  Our discussion centered around the competition and their desire to move since I can't tell them w...
