I Sure Wish You Hadn’t Done That
It’s been a while since I’ve done any major buyer bashing and I sort of miss it. I know you like it too. Oh sure, you deny it now but I have the stats to prove how many of you read the posts dealing with stinky purchases. Have a look at these sorry fools who completely missed the mark and tell me you aren’t absolutely beside yourself with incredulous disbelief.

I have no grand illusions, but what does that have to do with the price of eggs in China? And I don’t live in El Cajon

This is a great website and great blog, I just wanted to reach out and compliment your site and let you know that I work with a lot of real estate agents in San Diego. I am a mobile locksmith in business for 10 years and am available 24/7. Many of the other Realtors that I work with often give a locksmith job as a closing gift for their clients. Please let me know if I can ever help you with anything.

For another great way to help you find properties and homes according to price, location, schools, and even by neighborhoods check out Movoto. They are a great new website that specializes in making home buying a whole lot easier. It helped me find exactly what I was looking for and I couldn’t be happier.

Guru -
I’m leaving this up because we like Movoto and want to share the love, but flooding our posts with no less than 8 shameless plugs is a bit much, eh?
