High Listing Prices Don't Matter - Do They?
Many homeowners think they should start out with a high listing price. They can always reduce the price later if it doesn't sell. We explain why that is a myth and not a good idea - High Listing Price.
Property Search - Changes in the Wind
Multiple Listing Services are beginning to decide not to feed their listings to Realtor.com and other sites that aggregate listings from all over the country.

Therefore, we are revamping our Realtor Directory to include links that go directly to property search pages and listings pages.
