"They sacked the quarterback." "There's a flag down." "That'll cost them a ten-yard penalty for pass interference." If you have no idea what any of those statements mean, you aren't alone.

If you live near Cincinnati and all you want for Christmas this year is to sell your home (or buy one), you should have a look at HomesThatClick. They're a licensed real estate broker, and they will list your home and provide other services for 2%. If you are buying and have a buyer's agent, they'll split the commission. This type of set-up isn't for everyone. If you need the services of an agent who will take you to homes you'll want to consider someone local. They hope to expand their working area in the near future, so if you're not an Ohio resident, have a look anyway. |
