As a writer in the world of real estate, I am always hard at work, scouring the internet for all the interesting things about real estate around the world.
As you might imagine, there are all kinds of cool real estate inventions, novelties and phenomenons out there that will make you sit back and say WOW.
Since I always get a kick out of these things, I thought I'd share a small collection of them here on the blog.
I hope these entertain you as much as they did me!
