This was an excellent presentation! It was much more detailed than I had anticipated. The presenter was very knowledgeable about all aspects of selling a home and went into detail about various scenarios. I will look forward to any other presentations done by him. There were many more slides than I have found with other 2 cpe presentations. I would highly recommend his work!
