Marilyn – Overpricing is the worst headache.

Like Keith said it’s pricing confirmation. Give me haight anyday. The last month I’ve been dealing with overpricing a mailer. The data I received had properties listed as two acres that were actually only two lots. Each lot was about 6000 sq feet, way under the half acre minimum build limit.

It was quite difficult to decipher, as you might guess.
