Tech-savvy agents have an edge in seller's market

Spring has not yet arrived in the frozen northland, but the real estate market has felt like a spring market since the end of last year. It also feels like a seller's market in several, but not all, neighborhoods. These past few weeks I am reminded of the strategies I used during the last seller's market.
