My friend uses the parking results to extrapolate on the market as a whole. Of course some realtors work from home. Some keep odd hours. But when you arrive at 10am Monday and there's … [Read more...]

Flat fee MLS services. The ones where you pay a company a flat fee and they put your home on the MLS. You still pay a buyers commission. You still have to show it and you still have to price it.
