Real estate is red hot. And, as with all things red hot, it should be handled with caution. My wife, Jodie, a certified real estate broker, has been in the “business” for over ten years. She has never seen a market like this one. Low interest rates and low inventory has resulted in a seller’s market like no other. It’s a great time to sell, but a very very competitive time to buy. Word to the wise : Don’t get burnt. Find a good agent – like my wife – to help you.
