“Welcome Aboard. I’m Captain Mike. Both myself, and my co-pilot, Captain Hook, are first-time pilots. BUT, not to worry, we’ve read the books and passed our tests.”
I can’t imagine a home seller trying to go it alone in this market, unless they have a relative with cash that wants to buy.
This isn’t just a down market or an adjusting market. This is a never-been-seen before market that is being impacted by the consequences of banks and brokerage houses treating their customers like prey.
