They are rabbeted in the very best tradition of foursquare work, and each of the 4 and 5-inch quartersawn trim boards has a wide single groove dadoed into its back (modern production trim boards have 2 or 3 narrow grooves, it's cheaper to do but doesn't work for trim quite as well).

To make the list, an individual agent needs to sell 50 homes/$20 million in volume, or a team needs to sell 75 homes/$30 million in volume.Im in the top 1% of agents nation wide, and one of the top agents in the DC metro area, and I do not even qualify to make the real trends list.  100 homes in a year easily makes their list.

We were very careful to disclose EVERYTHING with the buyer so that they were going in eyes wide-opened.

Finding local foreclosures is actually something else I am interested in figuring out but haven't really looked into yet - but I'm definitely not seeing them in the same place.I was really considering buying a parcel at this auction purely for the experience, but by the time they removed the ones that had been redeemed before auction day there were only I think 3 that were big enough to legally build on (and not even usable if rezoned somehow, just like 4 ft wide strips of land between 2 houses and such).1 of those was commercial, would have required tons of tree clearing and excavating to build on it an all the engineers, applications, and hearings involved with that were intimidating for me... that was the only useful one I could've afforded.
