Yet, Peter Mericka of Lawyers Real Estate has either [...]
This is the question that an agent posed to me earlier today after yet another stuff up by the big boys. I was speaking at an event yesterday where one of the agents mentioned the CommBank Property Guide iPhone App and the significant amount of data that was now being made available via realestate.com.au and [...]
