I have been buying real estate for what seems a lifetime. I am a general contractor and I have developed several properties in California. It’s very important to research your realtor and find someone with good ethics and morals. My experience with Joan iwas horrible. She says, «We don’t negotiate our properties.» That is not hers to say. That is for the property owner or bank who owns it to decide. Well every other property listed by various agents in the area has sold except hers. Says something doesn’t it.
