  • Does selling by owner save you money?

    Of course it does. There are tens of thousands of dollars involved in real estate transactions and selling your home yourself will save a huge chunk.

    It was about a year ago when Rod and I began talking earnestly about building a real estate company backed by the technology we’d created for banks that was proving so effective in the marketplace.
