This is a 6 room Edwardian flat in need of some serious TLC, but is a one of a kind unit and must be sold now!” Is that pre-foreclosure … Continue reading Penthouse views at Pre-Foreclosure pricing!

Annoying real estate marketing take…what are we on, three?

I’ll bet $1 please (1574 43rd Ave.)

Where is the local real estate market headed?
By Meagan Levitan: The job of a real estate agent is more complex and entailing than the general public (or mass media) would have you believe.
