It wasn’t long ago, when I was attributing a decent percentage of my sales to the success of open houses.  I had several sales that I could point to, in which the open house secured a buyer that otherwise would not have considered the home, or resulted in getting multiple offers [...]

Joining the BCS Bowl real estate blogging wager

December 4th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Lani Anglin, over on AgentGenius and ReRevealed, suggested a wager for real estate bloggers that would like to wager on their team in the BCS Bowl series.  My team, the Arizona State University Sun Devils, didn’t get into a BCS game.  I’m blaming that problem on the Rose Bowl committee’s selection of an unworthy team in [...]
