As real estate agents, we all know about disclosure.  Our clients must, in many, if not all, states, fill out a seller's disclosure form disclosing everything they know of that might be wrong with the property they are selling.  We must disclose faults and flaws that we know about with the proper...

Yesterday, my husband, who often despairs at the amount of time I spend online (I'm working, Honey!), got even. He came in from his own computer and told me I really needed to go read a New York Times article. So I did. And followed the link. And now I'm hooked. The good news is, it's amazing how...
