MLSs to Adopt Global Standard to Replace Antiquated Address System?

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “Early in the morning, at the break of day, in all the freshness and dawn of one’s strength, to read a book – I call that vicious!” There is a liberating freedom about the early hours of Saturday or Sunday.

I like to read – not books like I did as a teenager so much as digital media. One of my favorite inspirations [...]

Are You Market-Smart? Prove it with a Branded Market Report

Never has so much information been available to consumers on the residential real estate economy, especially on market trends important to buyers and sellers.  Buyers and sellers are self-educating themselves about market conditions long before they hire a real estate agent.
