Ever watch a movie that you are really enjoying and then suddenly it turns mean on you? Well I’d say a few owners currently on the market could relate to that opener. Now I know that when you call in a few agents to get your bi-annual free market appraisals most are telling you that…

When preparing a property or perhaps more importantly a property owner for market something I always cover is the importance of being able to move quickly when a deal is in play.
