lbc,
You dont give yourself enough credit. I have learned as much or more from many of the longtime posters here than I have contributed. I’m here because I learn from others and quite frankly I enjoy the back & forth. The day I stop enjoying it is the day I say au revoir!
BTW, most of the ZipRealty agents I know are part time housewives that do it for a little extra spending money. Most but not all lack real business skills.
