TYSON: Dog bites and real estate agents

Dog cruelty sentence lacks bite

Given the importance of a home purchase and the role that a real estate agent plays in process, don't cut corners. An activity list should detail, over at least the past year, every real estate transaction that the agent has been involved in. At a minimum, the list should include the sales price and location of the property, as well as whether the agent represented the buyer or seller. As you interview prospective agents, be clear about what types of information you expect in their activity list. Don't consider hiring an agent who is unwilling to provide this information, as it usually indicates an agent ashamed of his or her track record, or someone who is too busy or lazy to provide it. As you review activity lists, you should be looking for agents who have experience with buyers similar to you (i.e. buyers who have bought in the same price range and neighborhoods in which you're looking).

Easy availability of food from street food joints and restaurants is another reason for the surge in these cases," said Anjali Sabane, medical officer in the health department of the PMC, while speaking to TOI. Sabane said treatment is available at 14 municipal hospitals and at three civic out patient departments, which has helped in reducing the cases of rabies in the city.
