The first place most people start would be in various printed publications such as Granite City newspapers & Granite City homes for sale magazines.
The problem I have always had with newspaper ads is they are usually two weeks behind. Some Real Estate offices have this down to an art, they will put out a full page ad with color pictures, give a poetic description, no address, maybe 3 lines of text and the office phone number. [Read More] |

One dictionary says that negotiation is:
"To discuss with a view to reaching an agreement"
Negotiation is the ability to change the opinions of others through
a climate of Favor; instead of Force...
It takes tact, not tyranny, honey, not vinegar... A cool head will get
you ahead... The person with the ego loses.
Some will lie to achieve their goal.
Some will steal to achieve their goal.
Some will terminate your friendship to achieve their goal.
Stay alert to anyone attempting to deceive you. [Read More]

Granite City was officially founded in 1896, but the area was settled much earlier. During the early 1800s, settlers began to farm the rich fertile grounds to the east of St. Louis. During the 1830s, Six Mile was formed. Six Mile was a farming area that occupied the area of present day Granite City. It was named due to its proximity to St. Louis, six miles (10 km). Soon after, the national road was constructed through the area and by 1865 the first railroad was built.
Two German immigrants, Frederick and William Niedringhaus. [Read More] |
