From “Living through Trying Times” by Frank Pellegrini, Prairie Title CEO
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” By invoking that time-honored Dickensian description of French revolutionary times I am by no means saying that we are living in the best or worst of times. Somewhere in the middle is more accurate, in my view.
These are tumultuous times for the real estate industry, indeed for our nation as a whole. We can all blame whoever or whatever we want for our current situation, but we all must live in the world as it is.
