Getting Ready To Sell Your Home? Rule #1 to Choosing an Agent

October 21, 2008 by · Leave a Comment 

Choosing a Realtor is a big decision.  Every Realtor (myself included)  is trying to tell you why they’re the greatest thing since sliced bread and why it would be a mistake to even consider working with someone else.  It makes Realtors gigantic windbags, but that’s a real estate agent’s job: to market/promote themselves and their [...]
