Buying & Selling Real Estate

Holiday season is a great time to find deals

This time of year I find sellers who want highest and best and are in no hurry to sell pull their properties from the market until after the holidays. I find that many buyers wait until after the holidays and what's left are sellers who need to sell and less buyers!
