Ya, its called Marketing.
The house of the week is Marketing and is paid for by the agent/home owner.
old listing for sale for over a year, you have to be an idiot to pay this price or close to it
I like it! If my price range went that high I might buy it.
It looks like a house in LA with a quirky actor living in it.
