Because of market conditions, have you been getting more into the rental game?
We opened a rental division within my team to serve that need.

How do you think bonuses are going to affect sales this year?  
I predict more activity, but no price increases in the near future. Sellers will be more motivated to put their properties on the market because the perception is that people will have more money to buy or invest in properties once January 2010 rolls around.
