I'm not kidding Great (hell, or even competent) buyer or seller representation appreciates the gravity of the buying and selling decision-making process. I don't have a real point to this story, other than to say that what we (my clients and I) do together has potentially life-altering … [Read more...] about A Pile of Money, And the Rest of your Life: Buying a Home
