All Signs Point To A Bottom- And Don’t Just Take My Word For It

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | November 27, 2020 | 0

I’ve been in residential real estate for nearly 20 years, and have both perspective and opinion on everything going on right now- yet I don’t expect you to take my word for what I say.  Yes, I hope you will, but it rarely happens.  One of the main reasons we have a market at allRead more

Many of us are spending a great deal more time living in the virtual world.  Whether I am watching my kids play Roblox, experiencing hours of Zoom meetings, or (shocker) watching a great deal of Netflix, we are not engaging in person with nearly as many people.  Is it a shocker that Real Estate wouldRead more
