Michael Ackerman, a Seattle real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Bain, blogs about how he works with buyers. Michael doesn't care how long it takes for the buyer to find his/her new home. Purchasing real estate is a process and Michael respects the fact that the "right" house may come on the market 1 month, 6 months or even 1 year into a buyer's search.
