News flash!! We just hit bottom!!

For all of those waiting for the announcement, here it is: we just hit the bottom of the real estate devaluation and now we can begin rebounding. Really? We hit bottom? No, I mean I don't know, and neither does anyone else.

However, for all of those waiting to read it, here it is - in black and white.

Tell your clients and customers that you saw an article this week (this one, and this is a true statement) that the real estate market had bottomed out (don't know if this is true or not).

Just happy I could help.

The GPS genie is not psychic

This is in no way meant to be a criticism or indictment of anyone who uses a GPS for directions, but they do have limitations. Maybe some of you saw the picture the other day of the commercial bus that was lodged inside a 9' underpass because… more
It's easy to look the other way
