Selling The Parents House? After selling homes for over 30 years, I’ve gone through the life cycle of a real estate agent.  When I started out, I had a lot of first time homebuyers. Then those buyers needed a bigger house, so they sold their house and purchase…

Confusing Market! I’m not an economist.  I’m not a financial advisor.  I’m not a politician. I’m not a glass half full or glass half empty kinda guy.  I’m just a guy who sees what I see. In today’s world there is plenty of information available…
