Jay Thompson says:
Thanks Greg (and Brian). Ya, you’d think in this market it would be the proverbial “no brainer”. We’ll have to see what the first FSBO argument brings… For some reason, I’m thinking some play on the “sacrosanct 6% commission” and the oodles of money a FSBO can “save”. We’ll see soon enough.

I concur with both Brian and Russell; Cowboys and Eternity forever. And in this ‘world’ JT is definitely the US News and World Report bomb! “Thank you Buy Owner…”
