Why would a seller who has received multiple offers, choose an offer that is $5000 less than another one? No need to speculate. The listing agent sent me a text. ...we felt like your contract was clean and simple and she liked your note about the couple :) The note she referred to was the email ...

Life changes. Sometimes what seemed like a must have a few years ago is now something of no value to you anymore. I have a seller who has spent the last 13 years adding all sorts of fine details to his home because in his mind it was going to be the last home he ever owned, so why not enjoy the ...

Have you ever wondered why banks seem to "lose" your documents so much? Is it just due to sloppiness on their part or is there actually something more to it? They wouldn't actually be lying to you, would they? They wouldn't actually train their employees to lie about not receiving documents, wo...

Google keeps trying to make their search results better. They just released a change called Penguin 2.0 to combat webspam. Matt Cutts goes over the details in this video. Sometimes it takes a week or two to see how things finally settle out so it should be interesting to see what happens.
