Prestige Properties Chat

In the real estate world we are all aware of what the word "fluff" means.  Some agents often walk a thin line between fluff and and out right lies.  What about what is not said.  If you don't say it it is not fluff but is it a lie?  Maybe not but it certainly does not seem honest and ethical.  Re...
