Have you been thinking about getting a great realtor to help you buy a home, but feel loyal to your Aunt Bea or a friend who just started in the business? This story is for you. We received five offers on our new listing over the weekend. The lowest offer was...
The contest for guessing the number of listings in January is now closed. We are running about 20% behind last January's count, so the few sellers who are willing to brave the early-2021 market will do nicely. We had 31 showings and five offers on our new listing...
