Ok...Round 2...*ding*, *ding*, and it's on! Referencing the second post??? Nope...'just the feeling that I've gone rounds in a fight with "The Champ". I had this really deep post I was intending to post this evening, as my second ever post. I was truly excited!

  A FEW SIMPLE KEY FACTS1. Recent real estate surveys show that as much as 80% of today's home buyers use the internet to shop for a new home long before they contact a real estate agent. 2. Over the years newspaper sales and readership has diminished greatly. 3. If your real estate agent has relied upon the MLS, a few open houses, flyers, only a personal web page or word of mouth then your property has not and WILL NOT receive the maximum exposure it needs in order to sell it in a timely manner in this slower real estate market.4. The longer it sits on the market the more it is costing you in the form of expenses. Taxes, mortgage interest, utilities, wear and tear, and loss of possible interest income. This could result in thousands of dollars spent or wasted needlessly.5. Waiting to s... 01/10/2008
