"25 Biggest Real Estate Mistakes"

I'm watching a show on HGTV, called "25 Biggest Real Estate Mistakes." Although it's pretty cheesy (sprinkled with advice from reality and HGTV personalities), the program has some good tips. Here are just a few:

1. Buying a house for its decor.
2. Not providing easy access for showings.
3. Not researching the neighborhood. (Remember: location, location, location)
4. Thinking auctions equal a good deal.

Go here for the rest.

"It's like a cult."

People love a house by Sears.
