Are you pricing your home through your rear view mirror?

by Dru Bloomfield on November 23, 2007

I just wrote a contract for a buyer, on a home that had been on the market less than two weeks.  I called him right after the property went on the market, telling him that this 3 bedroom home on the golf course that was just available.  Although he’d been looking for a place like this for almost a year, [...]

Another Reason to Be Thankful…

by Dru Bloomfield on November 22, 2007

In Las Vegas….It’s Always “Through the Casino”

by Dru Bloomfield on November 16, 2007
