  bubbleinfo.com — Authority: 476
  I am a proponent of realtors getting the word out, yet very few are willing to publish data or opinions to help consumers.  I don’t know if it’s because local agents live in Kris Berg’s shadow at her witty  http://sandiegohomeblog.com/  or because agents generally have nothing to say? But I support ...

  My biggest fear. When looking through the San Antonio MLS listings on the market, especially in our current market, I sometimes get a bit scared by what I see.  It’s not 100% of the listings I see, in fact, it’s a small percentage, but it scares me nonetheless.

  Searchlight Crusade — Authority: 128
  First off, let me make something very plain. All a CBB (Cooperating Buyers Broker compensation) can do is give good agent an incentive or disincentive to look at the property.
