Open Houses…

by on August 18, 2006

I've never been a big fan of open houses. The fact is, very few houses are sold to an open house visitor.

Hey Realtors, Answer The Phone!

by on August 13, 2006

The Law of Gravity Trumps Speculation

by on August 1, 2006

Jay's Opine: Sorry, I haven't had time to really disect this latest one from the Republic. I see it's actually time-stamped as being released 26 minutes from now, which seems kinda odd... So here at The Phoenix Real Estate Guy you can actually get some news stories before they are even written. I've been trying to tell you people how amazing this blog is!
