And with over 160 million parcels to choose from, REALTORS® the number of reports available is limitless. Do you see where we're going with this? No? Okay, let me put it this way.

You're a REALTOR®. You pride yourself on providing the best information possible to your clients. You work hard during the transaction. Negotiations. Appointments. Assuring clients that it's all going to work out. It's all part of the job. And when the transaction closes, you proudly hand buyers the keys to their new house. You say "Congratulations!" and wish them well. You hope they refer you to all their family and friends, because we all know this business is about referrals. And if you're anything like the REALTORS® in my family, you'll remember your clients and the look on their faces for a long time.
