    Potpourri of Real Estate News

    We’ve all heard by now about the LCD televisions, vacations, and other giveaways offered by sellers to entice buyers.  One seller in Florida is taking the concept a step further.  She’s offering her hand in marriage for the price of the home, plus $500,000 more.

    Here’s a link to the video that was on Fox News.

    When questioned, the woman said she’s not "selling herself" but is just interested in meeting somone to eventually marry.  She’s being careful about meeting would-be suitors in public places and won’t marry just anyone.  She wants to find true love.

    Streetview Over at Google, they’re catching some heat over privacy issues for the "Street View" function offered for over 50 cities nationwide.  The Tennessean today told of people who felt their privacy was being violated from the Street View,

    "Google Map Street Views has raised privacy concerns," said Hedy Weinberg, director of the ACLU of Tennessee, "but those concerns have to be balanced against the First Amendment right to take pictures from a public street."

    This is one of many examples of why living in a small town can be good.  Sometimes you’re too small for even Google to find you.  I EAT MY WORDS.  I JUST PUT IN MY ADDRESS AND CLICKED ON STREET VIEW.  It appears I was home that day.  Fortunately I wasn’t sunbathing.  Wow.  Just wow.  I’m way impressed.
