Not all Realtors are the same. Choose the one that has the plan.
Not all Realtors are the same. Some aren’t even Realtors. Unless they display the “Realtor” logo, they may not be members of the state and national Realtor associations under which we follow a strict code of ethics – and believe me, it is enforced.

Tips for flyers — must read!
For my listings that I think 1st-time homebuyers will be interested in, I'm printing stimulus information and state bond money information on the back of the flyer.
