Every once in a while, it is good to remind our readers that we also work as exclusive buyer’s agents. Time is too limited for us to work in a non-exclusive relationship (though we can limit our exclusivity to certain towns, leaving buyers free to work with other agents in other areas).

Click any photo to enlarge: SOLD: If it is accurate that (as Walter Pierce noted in our discussion) 98% of the homes built in America are not designed by architects, then it partially explains the lowest-common-denominator plan-book design that has resulted in a glut of newly constructed spec houses in this region from the past decade-plus….
