To me it feels something like the opening line for the long-running show Meet The Press on NBC, but adapted to my own reality. “If it’s Sunday, it’s an Open House”. More times than not, you’ll find me for a few hours on Sunday afternoon hosting an Open House somewhere, and today is no exception. Usually I decide about a week in advance if and where I’d like to have an
Later today, a customer will be closing on the sale of their home. So this is on my mind right now. They call it a final closing because all facets of the transaction come together and the transfer of title and sale is completed. But if you see the faces of the Buyer and Seller, and get a sense of what is really going on, the true impact of this event is anything
I saw a presentation locally earlier this year by a well-meaning and experienced real estate professional, who was summing up the residential market for last year to a large audience of people.
