I was showing property yesterday and after looking at four properties, we kept going back to the one that my clients really want. The problem is that it might not be able to close before the tax credit deadline (under contract by April 30 and close by June 30, 2010). My client said, "I'd love to

I had the opportunity to attend a Board of Realtors luncheon yesterday, February 17 where our honorable Senator Johnny Isackson was the guest speaker. He is a very humble yet articulate and sharp individual. He spoke at great length at the state of our economic situation here in the US and how Re
