    Remember as a buyer the REA doesn't work for you

    Remember as a buyer the REA doesn't work for you. How many times have I read this or even said this myself, but really is this true? REA's know they need to get listings and this is when they put on the charm with the vendor, but seriously if they can't turnover the properties they are sunk...

    Painting over nicotine stains
