Buyer or Seller's Market: Do The Math >
By Ted Strodder

Shelf Positioning: How To Price Your Home Effectively >
By Ted Strodder

I was in line at In N’ Out Burger the other day, waiting to place my order for two double cheeseburgers when I found myself quietly singing, “Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam....” ...

New or Used: Which Type of Home in Right for You? >
By Ted Strodder
I was showing houses over the weekend to a local, high tech executive. She and I had been looking together for over a month and I could tell she was hitting the housing wall: when they’ve seen so man...

Fun With Homebuying: Everyone Should Try It! >
By Ted Strodder
My wife and I just bought a new house. I say “new”, but you know what I mean, fifty years old, but new to us. It was an experience that reminded me why I stay in this business. Not why I got i...
