Can you imagine the impact an $850K sale for a four bedroom colonial on one plus acres in Calhoun Association would have on the market? It would be one thing if that was all the property could command, and quite another to effectuate the sale using “slick”, in my opinion unethical, maneuvers. There are a lot of people in this town that don’t care what they have to do to make a buck, and you are obviously one of them, but I will not participate! I would ask now that we both just drop this whole thing."
