Real Estate Agent Arrested

Here is a story I caught across the news wire recently. A Fort Mills, South Carolina Real Estate Agent was caught on tape cutting up, and knocking down a competitors real estate signs.

Once again I find myself having to tout and sound the trumpets about the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program after another successful closing. Next to the article Buying a Home with the Texas Veterans Land Board Program (TVLB) it is the most read item on this little blog, but has generated the most emails and phone calls.
