TWO EXECUTIVES RECEIVE PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS

Suzy Lee and Nancy Walters of Realty Executives Alexandria Home Sales are Recognized for Their Achievements

Alexandria, MN (Grassroots Newswire) – Two Realtors from Realty Executives Alexandria Home Sales were recently presented with the two top awards presented by the Greater Alexandria Area Association of Realtors.

Betty “Suzy” Lee was announced as the winner of this year’s Realtor of the Year Award at the Greater Alexandria Area Association of Realtors annual meeting. This award is based on the involvement in the community, the involvement in the association, ethics conduct, as well as the production of the realtor. Lee has been a licensed realtor for the last 5 years and prior to that was co-owner of Rockwood Construction.

“I’m so honored to receive this award, especially because I was nominated and selected by my fellow Alexandria Realtors,” Lee stated.

Nancy Walters was named this year’s Rookie of the Year. This award is based on the fact that the agent has no more than 24 months in the business, has been very active in the association by serving on various committees, and has been active in the community and in working with her peers in the profession.

"This is such an honor -- and surprise,” said Walters. “I am truly enjoying the real estate profession.”

Real Estate Agents, also known as "Executives" at Realty Executives, average approximately 13 years of real estate experience, nearly twice the national average. They are industry leaders in production, experience and professional designations, typically out producing traditional sales associates three to one, according to Rich Rector, president and CEO of Realty Executives International.

"We are very proud of the Executives in Alexandria," stated Joseph LaManna, Regional Developer for Realty Executives Midwest. “The Realtors in the Alexandria office represent what Realty Executives is about, and Suzy and Nancy are both outstanding professionals. Both are very deserving of their awards.”

Pending Homes Sales Up for the 3rd month in a row….Market beginning to turn around?

RealtyExecutivesMidwest@gmail.com (Realty Executives Midwest) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:58:00 +0000

The month of April was very kind to the real estate industry. We saw the largest monthly jump in sales contracts signed in 7 & ½ years. So is the housing market slump “bottoming out?”

Analysts predict that the market should start to turn by the end of the year, but new incentives, such as the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers and record low mortgage rates, have fueled investors to buy sooner rather than later. Housing affordability is at one of the highest points in history and agents are in the middle of their busiest time of the year.

Our Region is seeing one of the best Pending Home Sales Index increases in the country with a rise of 9.8 percent, an 11.1 percent increase from one year ago. With numerous buyer assistance programs available to the public, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Bumpy Road Ahead, But Light at the End of the Tunnel

RealtyExecutivesMidwest@gmail.com (Realty Executives Midwest) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:45:00 +0000

The United States has seen one of the worst recessions since the end of World War II. Rises in unemployment, increasing foreclosures, and the current credit crisis have brought about a lack of consumer confidence, which is only making the economic situation worse.

What must we do to help jump start the economy?

Even though there is no shortage in negative effects the economy has placed on the housing market conditions, it has brought new opportunities for those who may not have been able to afford to invest in real estate a few years ago.

Home prices have dropped all over the country, allowing many to become first time homeowners.
– Lower prices help to stimulate buyer demand, which is sorely needed to deal with the excess inventory available all over the country.

Mortgage Rates are the lowest they have been in years.

Tax credits for first time home buyers are bringing new life to the housing market.
Net rental income matches or exceeds the costs of property ownership in the majority of US markets, bringing many opportunities for investors to receive a respectable ROI.
– With analysts predicting the market downturn to hit bottom by the years end, available properties will be very appealing to potential investors.

The stabilization of the housing market is key to improving the nation’s economy. In Minnesota alone, the real estate industry accounted for over 15.8% of the Gross State Product in 2007. When a home is sold in Minnesota, It generates economic multiplier impact. There is greater spending at restaurants, sports games, and charity events. The size of this “multiplier” effect is estimated to be $12,240. (Bureau of Economic Analysis; Macroeconomic Advisors, NAR)

Just remember:

If you owned real estate for the last 18 months, or even the last 10 years, you’re probably still better off than having invested in the stock market.

Real Estate has always been a long term investment with major booms and busts. In the face of this uphill battle, we must persevere and work together to prevent further damage to our economy.

“It’s our patriotic duty to invest in home ownership, because it’s going to make that road a lot shorter.”

Greg Bauman President of SPAAR - "Metro Housing Market Continues Recovery"
Moving Toward Balance

Saint Paul, MN (Grassroots Newswire) - Existing, single-family residential real estate pending sales during the month of May increased 5.0 percent from the previous month reported the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® this morning. There were 4,418 reported pending sales during the month compared to 4,208 in April 08. However, that is a decline of 7.59 percent from the reported pending sales during the month of May 07.

At the end of May 08 there were 33,229 active single-family, residential listings in the 13-county metro area as reported by RMLS system. At the same time one year ago there were 35,236 active listings. That's a decline of 5.7 percent. The combined factors of higher pending sales and lower inventory has managed to lower the months-supply of inventory from 8.3 in April 08 to 7.9 by May 08. The months-supply of inventory peaked in December 07 at 14. The months-supply of inventory is a measure of the number of months it would take to sell the supply of inventory at the current pace of sales.

"This is a sign that the housing market in the Twin Cities continues to recover even with the challenging economic factors of high oil prices and instability in the markets," said Greg Bauman, Broker for Realty Executives and President of the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS®. "The market continues to perform as expected and we will see continued stabilization for the 2nd half of 2008 and on into the beginning of next year."

New listings added to the overall inventory of existing, single-family residential homes available for purchase continues to lag behind previous record-setting years. There were 9,436 new listings reported in May 08 compared to 11,261 reported for the same month in 07. That's a decline of 16.21 percent. When viewed from a "year-to-date" perspective, new listings are 11.04 percent behind the same five month period of 07.

Closed home sales continue to build, but at a slightly slower pace than previous years as buyers remain on the sidelines in anticipation of lower prices and a stronger economy. There were 3,720 closed home sales reported in the 13-county metro area during May 08. That's an increase of 18.96 percent from April 08 when there were 3,127 reported closed home sales. When compared to May 07 closed home sales there was a drop of 13.45 percent recorded.

The May 08 median sales price for the 13-county metro continued to show a decline from the previous year, but has held steady for the year. The median sales price reported for the 13-county metro was $205,000 in May 08 compared to $227,495 in May 07, a decline of 9.89 percent.

Encouraging Signs for the Twin Cities Metro

For the first time in 2008, the number of active listings (single family residential, including condos, townhomes and twinhomes) for the 13-county metro has dropped below previous months levels. In April the number of active listings was down 3.1 percent from one year ago. At the end of April in 2007 there were 33,374 active listings reported, while April end of month 08 active listings was reported at 32,325.

“Minnesota seems to be recovering faster than the rest of the nation month to month on the whole”, stated Greg Bauman, President of the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS®.

A positive sign that has been affecting the market’s balance is the relatively slow pace of new listings added to the RMLS system month-over-month compared to previous seasons. While the number of new listings added to the system in April 08 grew by 11.53 percent from March 08, the total new listings, for the year is down 9.52 percent compared to 07. Year-to-date new listings are 34,603 compared to 38,245 in the first four months of 07. Compared to April 07 when there were 10,742 new listings reported, the number of new listings in April 08 is down 11.51 percent with 9,506 reported.

Pending sales, while seemingly picking up steam, continues to lag behind previous years April numbers. There were 4,208 pending sales reported for the 13-county metro in April 08 compared to 4,507 during the same period in 07, a decline of 6.63 percent. However, the market appears to be working toward a rebound when compared to month-over-month views. There were 576 more pending sales reported in April 08 than March 08, an increase of 15.86 percent, a stronger percentage showing than the April over March numbers reported in 07. During that period the month-over-month increase was only 253 pending sales for a percentage increase of 5.95 percent.

Mr. Bauman also stated that “this trend looks to continue through the summer market. Buyers are coming back into the market because they can see the bottom and the opportunity is now.”

In the 13-county metro there were 3,127 closed home sales in April 08 compared to 3,440 reported one year ago, a decline of 9.1 percent. The spring selling season appears to be picking up some momentum from the sluggish winter months as there were 440 more closed home sales in April 08 than March 08, an increase of 16.38 percent. This is slightly better than the increase reported in March 07 over April 07 of 12.56percent.

The median sales price continues its struggle upward from a dismal 08 beginning when, in February the median price of a closed home sale dipped to $195,060. The April median sales price in the 13-county metro came in at $204,500, up 2.25 percent from March 08. The decline from April 07 however was 7.88 percent when the median sales price was reported at $222,000.

According to calculations the months’ supply of inventory also dropped in April to 8.1 with average days on market for sold properties at 85.

On a weekly basis the reported pending sales continue to show an upward trend with less erratic behavior than 2007. New listings added to the system, on a weekly basis, continue to trail last year’s numbers, as well.

Housing statistics include existing single family homes, condominiums and townhomes. Statistics are provided by the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® and are based on data supplied by the Regional Multiple Listing Service.

Signs of a spring market

Proportionally speaking the current housing sales activity appears to be sizing up as a typical spring market. There were no significant surprises for the first quarter although sales continue to lag behind prior years.

Pending sales, a leading indicator of future closed home sales, moved strongly forward from February to March increasing 17.65 percent for the month. There were 3,087 pending sales reported last month compared to 3,632 pending sales reported in March 08. However, pending sales continue to fall behind previous year’s levels, down 14.62 percent from March 07. Last year there were 4,254 pending sales reported for the month.

At the end of March 08 there were 30,745 active listings of existing, single-family residential properties reported for the 13-county metro area in the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota’s (RMLS) system, while compared to 30,470 one year ago. This slowing pace of new listings has significantly contributed to a move toward stabilization of housing sales in the Twin Cities. It will still take some time to work through the inventory toward a balanced market.

The Months Supply of Inventory (MSI), the amount of time it would take to sell through the current number of listed properties, continues to move downward, a good sign, from approximately 12.3 in January, 10.6 in February to 9 months in March. Average days on market for sold listings continue to hold steady at 89 days in March compared to 88 days in February.

New listings for the first Quarter of 08 totaled 25,097 compared to 27,503 one year ago, a decline of 8.57 percent. March 08 new listings trailed 16.97 percent from one year ago. During the month of March 08 there were 8,523 new listings added to the inventory compared to 10,265 one year ago.

The median price of a closed home for the 13 county metro area during March 08 rose 2.53 percent to $200,000 from the $195,060 reported in February 08. The median price for closed home sales remains down 9.69 percent compared to March 07 in the 13 county metro.

Greg Bauman, President of the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS®, stated we “Continue to see signs of a stabilizing market. March looked very similar to February with the exception of the median price having a small increase over last month. Buyers appear to be coming back into the market despite one of the snowiest March's in recent years.”

Housing statistics include existing single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses. Statistics are provided by the Saint Paul Area Association REALTORS® and are based on data supplied by the Regional Multiple Listing Service.

The Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® represents 4,000 members involved in all aspects of the real estate industry.

Editorial: For sale: Signs of hope for real estate

RealtyExecutivesMidwest@gmail.com (Realty Executives Midwest) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 19:22:00 +0000

Editorial: For sale: Signs of hope for real estate
It's a buyer's market if you're in it for the long haul.

Realtor Greg Bauman started worrying about the health of the Twin Cities real estate market when prospective buyers began calling him from California to bid on homes based solely on Internet listings.

It seemed odd to Bauman that buyers would skip the step of actually visiting the properties. The phenomenon was yet another sign that speculation in residential real estate was out of control. Although bad-news headlines have been the norm ever since -- and no one can predict when we'll reach the bottom of the housing cycle -- this is no time to panic.

For existing homeowners, this week's news that the median sale price dropped 12.5 percent in February to $195,060 was sobering, especially versus a median of $225,000 in 2006. Back when those California cyber speculators were calling Bauman, homeowners and potential buyers were riding a wave of median increases of 8 or 9 percent a year.

But a drop in the median is not all bad news. Bauman, who serves as president of the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors, points out that the big February dip signaled a purging of lower-priced properties, including bank-owned houses. Sales of homes priced below $150,000, including some that had been foreclosed upon, was a key factor. The purge is a necessary part of the market cleansing now taking place throughout the Twin Cities.

The upside to falling prices is that some buyers who were priced out of the market during the frenzy of speculation will now be able to find larger, affordable homes as prices fall. Many of those will be first-time buyers who will benefit from newly increased FHA loan limits and low interest rates.

As the Realtors will tell you, it's a good time to be a buyer.

Signs of Improvement in the Local Housing Market
Gregory Bauman, Realty Executives and President of the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® stated today.

Saint Paul, MN-
Consumers and REALTORS® agree that, in the past two months, there has been an increase in foot traffic through open houses and a stronger interest in showings of “for sale” properties in the 13-county Twin Cities metro area. REALTOR® offices in the east metro have reported February showings up more than 10 percent over the previous month. March showings have come on even stronger.

“The interest of home buyers to make that purchase decision has ramped up this past month,” Gregory Bauman, Broker Owner Realty Executives and president of the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® stated today. He went on to say, “We are beginning to see positive signs that the credit crisis is being addressed at the federal level and this will translate into more confidence at the local level where the transactions take place.”

While this heightened level of activity has not resulted in stronger closed home sales for January and February, there are some positive indicators that bode well for the future of existing, residential real estate sales: pending sales, inventory and affordability.

Pending sales, a leading indicator of future closed home sales, moved strongly forward from January to February increasing 20.49 percent for the month. There were 3,087 pending sales reported in February compared to 2,562 in January. That is the third highest percentage increase of pending sales from January to February in the past eight years. That rate was exceeded in 04 (21.02 percent) and 05 (33.9 percent).

At the end of February there were 29,667 active listings reported for the 13-county metro area in the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota’s (RMLS) system. That is a 5.0 percent increase from February 07 when 28,256 active listings were reported. The significance of the current level of inventory is the rate at which new inventory has been added to the system.

The rate of new listings added to the inventory during the first two months of 08 has slowed significantly compared to 07 and 06 when the market began to show serious signs of deterioration. From January 08 to March 08 the level of inventory increased by 12.29 percent, a reasonable number as the traditional selling season kicked off. During the same three month period of 06 the level of inventory increased by 22.71 percent while in 07 the increase was reported at 16.38 percent. The Months Supply of Inventory (MSI), the amount of time it would take to sell through the current number of listed properties, is 10.2 months. That’s a drop from the 12.1 MSI reported in January 08.

“The current state of the real estate market is truly an opportunity for first-time home buyers and those looking to purchase more house for their money,” stated Gregory Bauman, Broker Owner Realty Executives and President of the Saint Paul Area Association of RELATORS®. Bauman added, “It will take good credit and, if you are selling, the willingness to negotiate a reasonable selling price to achieve your homeownership goals today. Residential real estate is where we raise families and become part of a larger community. It remains a stable investment if handled responsibly.”

Prolonged pressure from the high level of inventory, lack of buyer activity, credit concerns and the negative economic information continued to weigh down the median sales price of homes in the metro area. The median price of a closed home sale for the 13-county metro area was $195,060, a decrease of 12.53 percent from one year ago. As the median price drops and single-family residential properties become more affordable to consumers the level of sales activity should begin to increase substantially. There were 2,009 recorded closed home sales in the 13-county metro area.

Housing statistics include existing single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses. Statistics are provided by the Saint Paul Area Association REALTORS® and are based on data supplied by the Regional Multiple Listing Service.

The Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® represents 4,000 members involved in all aspects of the real estate industry.

"How To Insulate Yourself Against Negative News Reports"

RealtyExecutivesMidwest@gmail.com (Realty Executives Midwest) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:12:00 +0000

"How To Insulate Yourself Against Negative News Reports"

by Denise Lones

Here we go again!! The news media is back and playing its old game of pummeling the airwaves with predictions of doom for the real estate industry. "The Big Crash Is Coming," "Disaster Ahead," "The Bubble Is About To Burst." Blah, blah, blah.

And it's working. People are scared. You can't go to a supermarket or coffee shop without overhearing a conversation about how bad the market is. Whenever you hear a piece of information pounded at you from different sources, naturally it's going to sink in.

But it's up to you to think. Don't just blindly believe a newsreader just because they are on television. True, numbers have been falling. Nobody can deny that. But, the "end of the world" hype is just not supported by any evidence. You must always remember that news media love predictions of disaster because it scares people into watching the newseven if it never happens.

This phenomenon of modern news is on display every time a storm brews in the ocean. Suddenly, the Final Days of Earth are upon usthen the storm turns to a little rain and it's all over. News people love reporting about imminent air disasters, L.A. car chases, and Wall Street's ups and downs.

The problem is that the facts don't support the wild claims.

When a market crashes, there must be a catalyst for that crash. There isn't one. There are only fluctuations. Today's fluctuations may be swinging downward more than last year, but it's by no means a crash. There has been no eventlike the stock market crash of 1929 or other disasterlarge enough to cause a crash.

Further, I'll go on to say that we are in one of the best times in real estate history. No, I'm not kidding. I'm very serious here. While agents are panicking all across the country and thinking about getting back into the corporate world, I say this is the best time to be a real estate agent.

The news media would laugh at me, but they're not in the trenches every day with me and they don't see what I see. What do I see?

A strong economy. This is a key factor in any analysis of the real estate market. The current economic viability of the United States ensures that no matter how wild the real estate market fluctuations may be, there are still people with money. And people with money will always want new property.
Job growth. Similarly, so long as new jobs are being created, there will always be a demand for housing. Companies open up new facilities and their employees who move there need places to live.
A moving population. Americans move more than ever before. The average time people spend in a home has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years. They buy, sell, move again, buy summer homes, buy winter homes, buy investment property, and buy homes for their parents.
So what's all the hype about, right? How can I possibly make these apparently outlandish statements while the news media is saying the exact opposite?

Well, the market HAS cooled a little bit. No, I take back the word "cooled." That just feeds the media's "crash" frenzy. The numbers have slightly declined, but they've declined in a market that was in the midst of the biggest boom in history. That fact must be taken into consideration for any accurate analysis.

Remember, the past ten years have been spectacularin fact, abnormally high. Numbers may be dropping a bit, but they're dropping to a level that is still above average.

Let's put things into a numbers' perspective. If our market in 2005 had increased by 25%, then "cooled" 4% in 2006, then we're still 21% up! This is not a "crash." This isn't even "cooling," but according to the news media the real estate market as we know it is about to explode. I don't think so.

Okay, let's play their game and we'll say the market crashes tomorrow. According to the media, this would mean that there is no more real estate activity or reason for anyone to buy. What they do not take into account is the fact that no matter what happens in the real estate market, the necessities of life guarantee real estate transactions. Even if interest rates went up to 18%, there would still be a lot of real estate activity.

A good agent survives and even thrives in a more difficult market. People need agents more in such a market. They need your help, advice, research, and skills. The agent who embraces a downturn in the market is the one who will take advantage of such a market and make it work in their favor.

Remember 20 years ago when interest rates went into double digits? Were real estate agents not working? No. Were people not selling? No. Things may have worked a bit differently, but good agents were making money.

The market also takes care of itself in up-and down-turns because when interest rates rise, prices drop. There is always a balance effect. Not to mention there are scores of people who come out of the woodwork to take advantage of a "down" market by buying at lower pricespeople who would not buy in an "up" market, because prices were too high. Different market, different clients.

So, stop fearing the crash! First of all, there isn't one. And even if there were, your best antidote is the knowledge that no matter what kind of market we're in, you can survive. Your attitude is your greatest ally. As long as you understand how it all balances out and you know how to adapt to market fluctuations, you'll thrive by providing the same informed service to your clients.

Success Spawns 100% Spin-Offs

Success Spawns
100% Spin-Offs

Two capable-and highly motivated, agents-who joined Realty Executives in its infancy were to play a significant role in its history. For John Hendrickson and Dave Liniger, though, Realty Executives was to be a relatively brief stop on the way to building their own empires. One quickly faded into obscurity. The other succeeded, and even today is prospering by promoting his own version of Dale's 100 percent concept.

The former Realty Executives agent who took the 100 percent concept and ran with it was David L. Liniger, an eager young real estate salesman. Liniger had joined Dale Rector's Tempe, Arizona office on June 15,1971 after a brief stint at Ed Thirkhill Realty, a traditional Phoenix brokerage. Within a month, records show he had moved on to the Realty Executives office in nearby Mesa. During his Arizona tenure, which lasted slightly more than one year, Liniger tracked some 21 listings and 18 sales. At one point, says Dale, he even managed the Tempe Realty Executives office.
The two then struck what Dale calls a "gentleman's agreement."

Liniger wanted to move to Denver to explore the possibilities of expanding Realty Executives into that booming metropolitan area, according to Dale.

"The partnership agreement was that we would be 50-50 partners, that we would own the offices. I would guarantee the loans, because we'd have to go to the bank," says Dale. "I had known this banker from Pueblo who had moved to the Denver suburb of Lakewood to manage a bank there ...it was the first time either Dave or I had ever seen a bank machine outside the building where you could punch a few numbers and get actual money.

"The banker, Robin Bailey, was so proud of being the first to have this machine and of course Dave and I were really thrilled to see this sort of innovation.

"Anyway, we made arrangements to get our loan there and open offices. But the main thing was he had to get his broker's license before he could do anything. Then, any profit made we'd split down the middle and, of course, we had conflicts.

"He said `Dale, you can't charge $35 a month and come out on this thing, so you know we'll have to have more money than that.'

"I said, `Well, with the two of us, we might have to charge $50,"' Dale says with a laugh.

On July 7, 1972, Liniger called Dale with an update on the Denver progress. In response, Dale penned the following note, reinforcing their plans and partnership in the Denver project:

July 7, 1972

Dave Liniger 7103 South Tamarac Street Englewood, Colorado 80110

Dear Dave,

It was great to talk to you this morning. Thank you very much for your call.

Enclosed is our new salesman's manual. I think it
will especially help the new members of the organization.
Please let me know of your ideas on how to make it better.
We will open with the trade-in program in effect so that should be a help in attracting salesmen.

As we progress in SanDiego, I will keep you informed of the legal and technical problems.

It was great to talk to you.

Very sincerely yours,
R. Dale Rector

To qualify for the broker's license he would need if he were to set up the Realty Executives shop-or any other shop for that matter-and to learn the Denver territory, Liniger went to work for the Denver firm of Van Schaack & Company, a conventional real estate outfit. From there, he sought Dale's help to obtain his Colorado real estate credentials.

Liniger wrote the following letter to Dale:

Dale quickly responded with the following note:

August 25, 1972 Colorado Real Estate Commission RE: Dave Liniger Dear Sirs:

Dave was one of the finest Associates we have ever had in our organization, and we certainly recommend that he be granted his Broker's license in Colorado.

While he was with us, Dave's listings totaled 21, and he had 18 sales.

Very sincerely yours,

R. Dale Rector

NO SELLING JOB - was needed to enlist Realty Executives, 1000 Apache Boulevard, into Chamber of Commerce membership. The firm's salesmen (from left) Steve Sasse, Tim McBratney and Dave Liniger discuss Chamber activities with C of C builder Hut Hutson...

With the exception of a few phone conversations and a couple of trips to Denver to check on how plans were proceeding, Dale had little contact with Liniger during the ensuing months. So, when one of his Phoenix agents returned from a trip through Denver, Dale was blind-sided by his telephone call. He had a very distressing question concerning Liniger.

"He said, `Dale, what's this deal about `Reax' in Denver? You know, our code name is Reax, what are they doing up there?"'

"He was referring to a company named Re/Max," says Dale, "and was obviously confused since our MLS code was Reax."

"I called Dave and asked `What the hell is going on?' And he says, `Well, you know, in our agreement, if there was a bankruptcy, the agreement was automatically void. And, in order to make this thing work, in order to do the things I needed to do, I had to go bankrupt,"' Dale remembers Liniger informing him.

"I felt terrible ...betrayed," he says.

As Dale recalls the succession of events, Liniger had by then partnered with four others who funded a new real estate enterprise that he had conceived. Charging each of his new agents a $125 fee each month, he and his partners would then receive monthly payments of $25 apiece.

In January 1973 David L. Liniger filed for incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State's office. By establishing his company, then Real Estate Maximums Inc., he accomplished what Dale and he had initially contemplated doingopen a Colorado real estate company based on Dale's 100 percent commission concept. The only difference was that rather than a partner, he had become a competitor....(Click Here for the rest of the story)
