Real tours abide by a code of ethics. This is Article 9 in action. Beth, a first time home buyer, knew nothing about the home buying process, except that she wanted to buy a home. But her realtor had the expertise to make sure Beth understood every document, even giving her copies to review with her lawyer so Beth could close on her first home with confidence. Complicated things explained in simple terms. The difference between an agent and a realtor is real. |

So this is Paradise, really, to you, isn't it, Honest? Well, it would be to a certain extent. But, yeah, we're saying that because our topic tonight is Paradise. That's exactly right. We have a storyteller here. He's also an author and his name is Carlos Kotkin. He is here. He brings the topic paradise. Right. And we don't know what his definition is going to be.
