#1 Failing to use the services of an experienced REALTOR. Many times buyers avoid using the services of a REALTOR under the mistaken belief that it costs them money ? or that they will be able to negotiate a better deal directly with the seller or seller?s agent. This can be an expensive mistake. When buying a home, if you are negotiating directly with the seller or seller?s agent, you may not be taking advantage of the best deal available in the marketplace today!
You can have your own realtor, a Buyer Broker or Purchaser?s Agent, who is committed to using the experience gained through hundreds of successful negotiations for your benefit ? at no charge to you! Your agent can be paid from the same commission that the seller?s agent is paid from ? by the seller. Real Estate is a unique business, where an agent with one day?s experience and no sales gets paid the same as an agent with several years exp...

On living in a hospice
I feel more like a prince in protective arrest
Than a foreign insurger after a bloody protest
Each day I am pampered with care and good food!
And all that is done to me makes me feel good
At night I am tucked down under pre-heated cover
When dirty and sweaty, I am given a shower!
And ?featherless angels? round my abode swarm
They attend to me constantly when sound the alarm!
Then my visitors come: my loving family first.
