With the housing market remaining in its sometimes dismal state, the debate over whether it's more beneficial to rent or buy is even more important. Most people that bought at the peak of the housing boom think that owning a home isn't the great investment it used to be. They'd be correct in many...

There's some seriously weird stuff in the housing industry sometimes, whether it's on the realtor's side or the client's.

I'm tired of real estate agents crying about how bad the market is. Yes, it is in bad shape. Yes, it makes it more difficult to run a business. Yes, people are more cautious with their money. But, you can still make a profit in this market if you know how to work it to your advantage. Certain par...

So you've probably heard that Freddie Mac is once again asking for federal aid. They showed a $4.1 billion loss in the third quarter and are now requesting another $100 million in aid. All told, it's estimated that the bailouts will cost taxpayers $259 billion. As an agent that focuses largely on...
