financial disclosure

Proving, once again, that their only concern for clients is how much they can be milked:

The presidents of the state's three largest metro Realtor associations are protesting part of a 2008 rule that requires buyer's agents to provide a written disclosure of compensation they might receive from sellers when a home is sold.

McHenry’s answer was swift, decisive and garnered a thunderous round of applause from the audience.

I mean, change a word or two and you're right smack dab in the middle of the sex scene in a romance novel, right?

But, no, not to worry. It's not a romance novel. It's a bid'ness pardnership. The publisher of that crap is none other than a former bidness partner of the subject of that crap. Cool, huh? But don't expect either of them to tell you.
