Some of these ads can seem a bit humorous, but to the people that these situations actually happen to, they are not funny at all. Thousands of dollars are lost and many years of legal proceedings occur when the transaction of buying or selling a home does not go smoothly.
Why Use a Realtor: There are two types of people who need a REALTOR®. Those who are selling their home, and those who are buying a home.
