Think of a bunch of helium balloons. When I order a dozen balloons for my kids’ birthday parties, it’s pretty rare that all 12 make it to the end of the day. Despite the fact that I intertwine the ribbons around my fingers several times, one inevitably slips through my grip & floats away over […]

It’s rare that a Realtor can successfully monitor the real estate market in the areas outside of their multi-list. However, my team can!
