I consider myself a world traveler.  I have been many places.  Both in the United States and other countries.   And I have to admit the Boise airport is wonderful (for an airport).   We just have one long terminal.  None of the scary transfers where you do not have enough time to get places.   Yo...

Today my partner pulled in a listing.  The owner is a friend of his sisters.   We went to the home that had been marketed for 135 days as a short sale.   The pictures on this listing were awful.  The home had been shown exactly twice in these 135 days.  After 135 days on the market there was no p...
