		<description><![CDATA[If you find yourself having to sell during a down part of the cycle - let's say a really down part - you could find yourself losing money on your sale.

		<description><![CDATA[During the last few months, I've gotten a bunch of calls from buyers and sellers who would like me to be their second, or even their third, agent. And when I ask the questions about the status of their current agreement with their last Realtor, they almost always say that it has weeks, even months, to go, but they plan to fire their agent.

She looked at me like I was nuts.

And perhaps I was - and still am.  But I am a firm believer that when your focus is on the quality of each transaction, that the quantity will take care of itself.]]></description>
