And I bet you're hoping for some illustrative photos for this post.    Would you work with a porn star as a buyer or seller??    Or would the choice of career be a stumbling block or an ethical or moral issue?

While out showing homes today I can across a home that was built in 1948 and from the condition it is in, I would say NOTHING has been done since it was originally built!!!! I have not seen a kitchen that looked like this in many years! I actually had to kick the bottom of the front door to get i...

We had some clients over the weekend call and tell us that even though they are under contract to purchase a home... they found a different home they want to now purchase! "We talked to our agent...
