This is semi-secondhand information but I know the person who told it to me quite well. She and her husband are residents of TV. They owned a villa in Calumet Grove, fell in love with a house in Tall Trees. Although their house had not sold, they bought their new home. They placed their property with TV Sales. They got an offer after a few months -- the man put a deposit down, held by TV. It turns out he also put a deposit on another house -- also listed with TV. He decided to buy the other house. Not only did they not get the sale, TV kept the deposit. They then decided to sell by owner. After 6 weeks of doing an open house every weekend, they sold their Calumet Grove property for more than TV had recommended as the selling price.

So, if you do go with TV, be very careful how things worded re deposits, etc.
