The art practiced by many is to deceive a seller putting them under contract and then failing to close.

More and more listing agents are using the electronic lock boxes because you can track WHO came and when they came, vs the old manual lock box.

That's what got all the Millenials studying Social Studies and Art and Yoga...things that they can't get paid to do and they ended up with enormous Student Loans that they want us to pay for.

Well, now that is interesting, comparing educational institutions like Harvard to some privately owned organization pumping what they see or claim to be an education.For centuries, there have been two areas to teach or educate people skills and knowledge to earn an income, they have always been divided as to a vocation and a profession.Vocations have been through apprenticeships, the student learns from the "master" of the skill or art being taught.

The applicable master policies for each location is available electronically to each of our program participants.

-I also like the idea of buying art when you close a deal.  

@Art Maydan - it really depends on what the clothes are.
