- 06/13/08 09:25 AM

In fact, if the real estate market were indeed personified as the late great Elvis Presley, the lyrics of Treat Me Nice would make perfect sense in today's buyer's market: When I walk through that door Baby be polite You're gonna make me sore If you don't greet me right Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice Treat me nice. I know that you've been told It's not fair to tease So if you come on … (27 comments)
