I am often gallivanting around on real estate forums giving out sage advice to consumers. My mantra for about the past, I don’t know, five years or so to consumers has been…look at the photos taken by an agent online. When a seller is going to get a home ready for sale, they should take…
I’m always chatting with real estate agents around the country to see, who is doing what in terms of new marketing. I’m always looking for new ideas to market my real estate listings here in the Salem area. I was chatting with a really great Colts Neck, NJ real estate agent, Andrew Lenza about the…

They “killed deals” because…
I used to do drama in high school and one of the school plays was Arsenic and Old Lace. In 1944 it was made into a movie starring Cary Grant and the premise behind it was that a man finds out that his beloved aunts are homicidal maniacs that poison people with arsenic. It’s a…
