This certainly isn’t a bad thing, but if you’re anything like me, your weekend is impacted by the phenomena known as…
The real estate marketplace is a multi-billion dollar business that drives a massive segment of our GDP. Developing, building, managing, renting, renovating, buying and selling real estate incorporates many different elements. Traditionally much of the business has been seen as complicated, difficult, inefficient, inaccurate, time-consuming, bureaucratic and costly. During the past few years real estate…
