One of my favorite clients asked me for ‘micro data,’ about ‘every neighborhood in Seattle.’ His Buyer was quite precise, and asked for lots of statistical data before selecting a neighborhood. My Agent friend was delighted when I gave him this report from Seattle Metropolitan Homes.
Good listing and selling to all! See you at RRNetwork coffee this Wednesday, 5/12. We’re excited about meeting Bob Dunn, WordPress Specialist.
