Wheel of Misfortune: 40 Year Listing Memos
Our latest edition of homeowner jeopardy comes to us from a licensed, seemingly legitimate real estate brokerage that is offering to pay homeowners a sum of money, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, for the exclusive right to sell the home at some point in the future.
