    Real Estate Rates

    I work in real estate(photography) and the common rate I see in most coaching stuff that I have seen and what is in my area is 6%. You can get some agents to go down to 5%. The problem is this is a double edged sword becuase agents will choose to show a 3% house over a 2.5% house. So if they...

    Quality screwdriver set

    The craftsman pro line of screw drivers were made by western forge. As a side note western forge also made home depots husky pro screw drivers.
