If you're reading regularly, you know that real estate inventory in MB has been tight for months. Too many buyers, too few options.
The blog author, Dave Fratello, also represents several buyers who are among those looking. These are very well-qualified buyers and great families who just aren't finding what they need.
So we're just going to straight-up ask:
Have you got something our buyers might want?MBC's readership includes hundreds of local homeowners, residents and agents, not to mention plenty of people monitoring our market for the possibility of buying in some day.
So who can help us connect the great families we know with the homes they're looking for?
