Are Your Buyers Costing You $76 an Hour?
Over the years I've had the privilege of asking thousands of practicing real estate professionals whether they prefer working with buyers or sellers.

Debunking the ‘Discounted Commission Myth’
Simply stated, the Commission Myth says that the less a seller pays in commission, the more money he’ll put in his pocket: a false assumption that sellers–and even many real estate agents–believe to be gospel.

Three Simple Steps to Overcoming your FEAR of FSBOs
