@Greg Johns   all the data you state is easily attainable.. what I like the best is your recognition of the fact that you need to get to the market easily. 

Here's how I think about it.... they've invested millions in advertising, SEO, brand recognition and building of the platforms and you get to leverage it.

I am humbled at the recognition - thanks all and I appreciate all of you as well :)Now I feel kind of lazy not having called anyone out, so in addition to those above, I will mention:@Dawn Brenengen @Nicole A. 

Also, concessions can often make an offer less appealing to a seller (mainly because they haven't read this article) BUT also because it's a difficult concept to grasp (the true professionals in the lending community deserve a lot more credit and recognition than they get!)

Sometimes it is in recognition that the item simply wares out more quickly and sometimes it is just the government trying to encourage spending.

The facial expression he had when I said the name Wendell de Guzman was enough for me.I got a long list of horror stories he had been told about from people that were "Scammed" by Wendell.

The ones we work with don't care if we never come into the office (we've never even met the broker in Maryland that we're affiliated with), don't care if we never represent other clients, don't care if we never do a single deal and don't care if real estate is a full-time, part-time or never-time activity (as long as we're current on our fees/dues).If your wife wants to do some Realtor work for others, I'd recommend considering a mid-sized brokerage, where she gets some name recognition with the brand, but also gets a good bit of flexibility. 

No dog collars, studs, facial piercings.Dyed or frosted hair is fine, just not orange or some wild unnatural color, no one wants to deal with a clown. :)Stay away from gaudy excessive jewlry or large hats, IMO, it's another attention distractor.I failed to mention tats above, so this applies to both men and women, a small tat is fine, if you have badassbiker with a dagger dripping blood, cover it up with clothes.

He has name recognition.

My teeth were close to nerves so I had to have a specialist maxxio facial surgeon do the surgery.I always couldn't breathe well so finally checked it out.I only had 15% breathing in my nose.One side was completely blocked with a bone spur and the other side was a deviated septum in a moon shape blocking off the other.The surgeon said I probably did it all the years of playing sports as a kid and when my nose bled didn't think anything of it at the time.So the took out all 4 wisdom teeth,and then cu tout the bone spur of the nose and cut the septum to lay flat in the middle again and re-enforced it.I also had permanent breathing strips put under my eyes that permanently pulled open the airways helping to breather even better.The surgeon said even if someone has a perfect airway if they have a smaller or thinner nose the airways can be too small to get the oxygen they need.The guy that did it Dr.Burnam used to be the team doctor for the Atlanta Thrashers hockey team.I had to stay in bed and the house for about a week.My face ballooned up like a bowling ball.Drinking sweet tea helped with the blood clotting where they took the wisdom teeth out.I had to have the nose surgery because of breathing problems.I would go to sleep and wake up but I couldn't move my limbs as I wasn't getting enough oxygen.The surgeon said I was lucky and could have dies from it as sometimes I couldn't roll myself over to get my face off of the pillow to breathe.Steven I am surprised that they only took 3 wisdom teeth.My surgeon told me that even if the other wisdom teeth are healthy if they have no teeth above them to sit on they can get infected and it's best to take them all out.If it was because one was next to a nerve you should have had a surgeon take all of them out.The dentist won't touch them because if they clip a nerve it can permanently cause you to lose feeling in your face.
