Wow I am just baffled! I had no clue Utah was even on the list at all to begin with. But that is such great news that we have dropped so far on the list and are doing much better. I know that there is a great utah real estate school here that could be helping out a lot if they are raising their numbers in sales and making sure the students are really learning! Do you know where I could find more information on this subject?
