What does this have to do with real estate? Let’s play this out – while chatting it up on the ski lift one of the first questions is going to be “What do you do?” Once someone hears ‘real estate’ then the follow-up question is a variation of “How’s the real estate market?”
So – How is the real estate market??? (more…)
