SF: 4 Free Resources for Getting Smart about Real Estate This Week

Not knowing enough about buying a house is a recipe for disaster. The same could be said about not knowing enough about selling. And though we can always lean back and put both processes into the hands of a Realtor, such ignorance is not bliss. Especially these days when we have so many resources, both online and in our actual, face-to-face community, we have the unique opportunity to enter into real estate transactions with a solid foundation of knowledge.

This week, Bay Area residents have several in-person resources.  Here are four that are are particularly useful.
