I have been a Real Estate agent for 9 years now. And I believe when you work as hard as you can for your clients you deserve there loyalty toward you. As a Realtor I go that extra mile and half to list and actively sell there property or search for the right home for them. To achieve there goals first. Not mine.

This client searched all the listings he could find in my area for a single family home and in his price range and would ask me to check them out for him. Believe me I don't have a problem checking, I feel everyone who I work with, who is looking for a home or wants to list there home for sale with me, I want to go the extra mile for them.

Selling One, Buying Another One (Part 1) In a perfect situation, you sell your old house at the same day that you buy your new one. However, things don't always work out perfectly.

Fall and spring are usually the best times for homes to move.  If the closing dates are going to coincide, make sure that delays on the sale might not affect the purchase. If the closing dates are not going to be the same, a gap is better than carrying out two mortgages. It is easier to sell your property first and find temporary housing than to carry two mortgages.  Selling Fi... 08/15/2009
