04/24/2007 What's a Boomer?
|
|
What's a Boomer? This question seems more correct than "who is a Boomer?" since this statistic-laden collective term is usually applied to group reactions and behaviours. Don't let the hype about Baby Boomers distract you from what is really important -- you and what you want to achieve. Instead of following others, adopt self-leadership and lead yourself, your family and your community toward a brilliant future.

04/24/2007 Ask George & Chuck: Questions from Consumers
|
|
Question (CA): We listed our home of 20+ years for sale. We have not been involved in real estate transactions until recently. We are at odds with our Realtor in that everything we read says to sell you must "price your home right" in today's market. We feel our home should be priced about 40,000 less than what our Realtor is recommending. The Realtor provided us with a listing of homes for sale that were within +/- 25,000 of our asking price. Is that what you call a "CMA?"
