Keep doing the whole bandit sign thing.I am a firm believer in direct mail marketing personally.

I have a colleague in your area that runs a management firm.

I also want to do enough work in the field (1000 hrs per yr) over the next two years to become a Broker and start my own small firm and save on "commision splits", and to make a little profit from the brokerage.My questions is what are the potential pitfalls of being an agent.

Nuns get tattoos of him.He once fashioned a perpetual motion machine from a napkin.There is a no fly zone over his garden.His garage sales are at Sotheby'sI got a milllion of em

Firm price, even if they find (or do) damage that needs repaired.Based on what I know today, I would plan to list my house at about $115000, without new windows.

The business grows and prospers as Bryan can really pick 'em and Vikram has all the right connections to get them funded.
