Tampa, Fl - September 13, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- As many in the various professions in the real estate arena will verify, the reality from those in the trenches, is that the market is just not getting better. As someone who has completed 400 successful real estate transactions in a 14 year career in 2 states, I’d say I know more than all of the economists and newscasters put together trying to get a handle on things. I can produce plenty of Realtors, home inspectors and mortgage professionals who can give you a better idea of how to come out of these downward trends.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - August 23, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- The U.S. economy has made moderate gains in several key categories over the past few months.

Grand Rapids, MI - June 8, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- If there is one other factor, apart from the usually high price involved, that discourages an individual from buying a property is the fear of being duped. Being duped into buying a property worth less than what is the offer price, property with not too clear titles and so on. One is never sure, if they made the right purchase, if they have considered all the alternatives and if they could buy it for a lesser price. Real estate agents can’t be trusted blindly, since they act for seller of property as well and they are keen on making a sale, buyers’ interests be damned.
