		<description><![CDATA[The sale of real estate is far different in Metropolitan New York than it is anywhere else. For one thing, we use attorneys from the start. For another, the attorneys handle the contracts, not the brokers. Another difference is that they won&#8217;t draw up contracts until after the inspections are done, unlike other locales where [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nyshortsaleblog.com&#038;blog=6110404&#038;post=11608&#038;subd=newyorkshortsaleblog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
