The competition started to dive into our markets and we started to see a lot of our business start to slow down.

This isn't always a foolproof method as I'm sure anyone that's been in the business a while will tell you.This helps for peace of mind and more often than not gets the job done smoother in many cases as most GCs hate having to work around another laborer for small jobs....it tends to cause more of a problem in the long run in many instances.As for buying right to limit the risk of purchasing a bad deal -- make sure you have a good agent or someone with experience that can show supporting comps to you from the MLS, get multiple bids, and also look at the competition in the area.

Here's a link to realtors in Greece listed in Global Property Guide.

There is some competition so I have to stand out against the rest.

IIRC fewer than 70 House seats are considered "competitive".The last time I saw Thomas Friedman interviewed he alluded to his next book, something along the lines of "Green is the new Red, White and Blue".

Competition will make a difference in price.BTW, if someone wants to make holes in your slab, GET THEM AWAY FROM YOU, they don't know what they're doing.No way for us to estimate.I've owned 6 or 7 houses in Houston and one where I live now with cracked slabs, never a problem on selling them, but it has to be disclosed!

Please share companies with competitive rates.

I would appreciate any guidance on managing these types of financial partnerships and navigating a dynamic, competitive market.

I did tour the market and saw the competition, the deal is still there but need some help from BP.

No competition either!
