January 3, 2008

Wachovia Corp. is trimming its San Antonio staff by more than 200 people by the end of September. The Charlotte, N.C.-based banking company notified the state Dec. 21 that it planned to lay off 243 people at its Wiseman Boulevard operations center. At least 42 of those cuts happened in August when it cut workers who service mortgage loans.
Those employees handled calls from World Savings customers. Wachovia bought World Savings’ parent, Golden West Financial Corp., last year.
The layoffs cover a range of responsibilities at the operations center, which will have 3,300 employees after all the affected workers are gone, spokesman Don Vecchiarello said.
Why Use A REALTOR
January 1, 2008
The terms agent, broker and REALTORĀ® are often used interchangeably, but have very different meanings. For example, not all agents (also called salespersons) or brokers are REALTORSĀ®. Learn who is a REALTORĀ® and the reasons why you should use one. As a prerequisite to selling real estate, a person must be licensed by the state in which they work, either as an agent/salesperson or as a broker. Before a license is issued, minimum standards for education, examinations and experience, which are determined on a state by state basis, must be met.
