Q: Denise, I have two buyers who think they want to wait until the spring to resume looking for a new home. They are tired, have been heartbroken a number of times, and are just done. However, I think this time of year through January might be a great opportunity, especially if interest rates begin […]
There is an interesting phenomenon occurring in the real estate world that has some agents perplexed. Some of their listings are getting multiple offers while others sit gaining nothing more than additional days on the market. It seems that the more offers that are received on a property the more offers that continue to trickle […]
For this week’s Zebra Report, I’d like to start off with a quick exercise. Ready? Think about the last vendor you were really impressed with.
