This week's topic is Do You Blog?.
I'm always looking for something interesting to talk about in this column. Someone asked me the other day, "Do You Blog?" I said, "excuse me." And then I started to do some research. What I found out is pretty interesting, so I thought I would share it with you.

If your office has spare SentriLock lockboxes, and you have more than 5 not in use, please
email or call TracyLee at the Association. We have a severe shortage of lockboxes due to the high number of active listings, and need every available lockbox to be in use. Also, if you have broken lockboxes, they also need to be turned in to the SCAOR office, so they may be sent for repair.
Call TracyLee at (302) 855-2300 or tracylee@scaor.com.
ETHICALLY SPEAKING...
What did you think about the property manager's actions in last week's At A Glance and what s/he was required to disclose to the property owner? Below is the Hearing Panel's decision.
Case #6-2: Manager's Use of Client's Property for Vending Machines
It was the conclusion of the Hearing Panel that, whether or not the presence of the machines was a service for the tenants, the giving of authority for their installation was in effect a rental of the space they occupied; and that, in the absence of any disclosure to the owner, REALTOR® A was in violation of Article 6 of the Code of Ethics.
