Type A? You're My Type.

You've probably heard the phrase "you're not for everyone." As a society, we've started to get a little more open and accepting of the idea that not everyone needs to like us. As a realtor, it's often assumed that you want to work with anyone who wants your services. But since making the move in

Pricing, Comps and Estimates

No two homes - even right next to each other - are the same. That's why you'll hear real estate professionals talk about "comps" or preparing a comparative market analysis. A CMA helps buyers and sellers determine the most appropriate list or offer price for a home or property. What is a CMA?
