Sell That House!

I love this blog. It is even better than the cake disasters one, but then I'm not in to cakes as much as houses.

I love the descriptions some of these people use in their advertising. Honesty is the best policy. That's what we spin doctors keep telling people anyway. Of course, it may not be true ...
