When you're ready to think about buying or selling your property, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

Do you have the time, energy, sources of information, and contacts to do the job yourself?

If you were one of the "do-it-yourself' people, would the results be as good or better than they would be if you had professional assistance?

If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of an accountant? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney?
