A: Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on the many things that we are thankful for. First and foremost, I am thankful for my family, friends, the many great people I get to work with and for, and, of course, our readers. Now onto the real estate: I am thankful when every blank space is filled in on a real estate contract. Those lines are there for a reason — the point of a contract is to avoid ambiguity. If you are unsure what should be filled in, you should speak to someone that can explain it in plain terms before you sign on the dotted line.
