You want a recommendation from a trusted bookseller; but I know what I want to read and I’m happier ordering on the Net and saving $5.

What bothers me about the real estate industry is that the agents and brokers are colluding to prevent other ways of doing business from taking hold. They do it under guise of consumer protection, but in reality they want to protect their pocketbook.
