18|Jun|2009 4Related to the tenant occupied property rights; what if the foreclosed property is inhabited by the foreclosed upon entity when re-sold to a new party?

18|Jun|2009 5I would like to see a penalty for those agents who suggest in the MLS that buyers must use the Seller’s settlement company of choice. Those who do that are just trying to prey on the ignorance of the buyer or buyer’s agent. If it’s not legal to make this restriction, why is it legal to advertise it?
