I know I haven’t posted here in a while but I’ve been so

As much as I like the home and the area, I was a little worried that the location was a little too isolated. It was close to buses but far away from the train. I was concerned about how I would get to and from work. Robert would still make his commission as he was acting as both the buyer and seller’s agent. Everyone was happy except for me. I then called another former realtor, Louis, and we began looking at properties. We went to an open house on a quiet street, a few blocks away from a subway station and a block from a bus, that was listed below market value. There w...
