REAL ESTATE "FUN STUFF" AND HARD-CORE STATS!

            WHO'S MOVING?
In 30 years of Real Estate, I am constantly enjoying our weekly Realtors tour,  and many agents always ask "Why are they Selling? And of course buyers ask the same.  So here are a few tongue-in-cheek answers:
“They heard you were wanting to buy their home.”
OR: "My sellers want to know why you are buying."
But one agent's idea takes the cake: “If they ask me why they are moving I say because they’re selling. If they ask me why they are selling I say because they are moving, and then we chuckle about it.”

**Many renters still have to look for parking when they rent. Some pricey apartments are getting a perk from their landlords:VALET SERVICE.

**Celebrities hire designers when they sell, You will save money by asking your agent to help or google for many ideas to make your home shine!
