2) Slaves to real estate – Good advice from Ines on setting a schedule as a real estate agent… Now if I could only act on the advice.

3) Another plan to fix the housing market: Rent-to-own – Interesting idea of having the bank rent back the foreclosed property to the homeowner they foreclosed on.

4) Want to buy a foreclosed home? Here’s the chart for where to look – 75% of all foreclosures are happening in just 10 states.

5) With MLS listings available everywhere on the Internet, why do you need a buyer’s agent? – Gregg does a good job at looking some basic reasons you should still have a buying agent. If you are a buyer remember, the seller has professional representation, you should too.
