will offer the home at a reduced rate in order to attract investors and
first time home home buyers. The sale price maybe higher than the

4) Pick a knowledgeable real estate agent you like and stick with them.
Loyalty to your agent will give you better service and loyalty back. If
you are shopping with every agent in town you will be duplicating
efforts. After all, all agents have access to the same data base
