Realtor News
There is too dang much real estate news going on today! I’ve got Tim Headington’s Ritz penthouse, the new controversy over the glass at Museum Tower, second home stats and more agents moving offices.

Update 8:36 p.m. Robbie Briggs and BFS will be working with Eloy on Tim’s condo, but showings probably won’t be scheduled for 30 days. Wow.

More buyers find their homes on the internet than through signs, home builders, or print ads combined.
