Where’s my bailout?
I mean, the financial industry is being rescued. People who are behind on their mortgages are being given a hand. Farmers get help through subsidies. How about me? The Feds can pay my membership dues and Errors & Omissions insurance for starts. I’d like to take some designation classes for free! And maybe they could co-sponsor some advertising about the availability of FHA loans.
I recall going to a listing appointment once for an average home. A single man had hired someone to decorate, plus he added a privacy fence in his backyard which was next to a very busy road. The problem was that his so-called decorator put up wallpaper - very unappealing to most buyers these days. To make the problem even worse, the wallpaper was put on wrong, the stripes were placed horizontally rather than vertically.
