He had many showings and sold the home.

Many times I have raised the commision on a particular item and many times the item was sold because it was always shown first rather than last.

Sometimes the cheapest deal isn't the best.
THANKS!
That sounds like fantastic advice (if needed). I'm gonna remember that.
